MAIA BARCELOS, Tânia. Subjectivity and samba: pain seeks passage. Psicol. rev. (Belo Horizonte) [online]. 2010, vol.16, n.1, pp. 17-27. ISSN 1677-1168.

This article aims to problematize contemporary subjectivity, especially hegemonic ways of experimenting pain, based on an encounter with samba - the Brazilian musical genre created officially in the first decades of the 20th Century. It puts forward the hypothesis that this encounter may reinforce Brazilian subjectivity in the processes of invention and resistance to the “pain avoiding” policy, so strong in the context of cultural capitalism. In the last decades, that policy has worked out subjectivity production strategies that capture and commercialize affection. In that encounter, authors such as Deleuze, Guattari, Rolnik and Jurandir Freire Costa, among others, help understanding samba lyrics and verses as possibilities of experimenting pain, in the opposite direction of forms historically predominant in western modern culture

Keywords : subjectivity; contemporaneity; samba; pain.
