Abstract

RAINHO, Maria do Carmo Teixeira. Caetano Veloso: body, clothing, and music challenging the military dictatorship in Brazil. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2014, vol.48, n.3, pp. 127-139. ISSN 0486-641X.

The article examines the role of clothes, accessories, hair styles and body postures in the construction of Caetano Veloso's image between 1967 and 1972. Our hypothesis is that these aspects were as important as his music in the formation of his identity as an artist, being accountable, as well, for his arrest, in 1968, and later exile in London, between 1969 and 1972. The paper's sources are photographs from the Rio de Janeiro newspaper Correio da Manhã and documents produced by security and information bodies of the military regime.

Keywords : Caetano Veloso; attire; Brazil; 1960s; military dictatorship.
