Victor Jara e a Revolução Latino-Americana: a canção engajada chilena entre a ditadura militar (1973) e o estallido social (2019)

Abstract

The article aims to analyze the song El Derecho de Vivir En Paz, by the chilean singer and composer Victor Jara, brutally murdered by the military dictatorship imposed in Chile, after September 11, 1973. Through this historical-critical analysis, construct a narrative able to relate the past time – the military dictatorship – with the events of the present time – the social explosion of 2019 –, not as a mere cause-effect relationship, but thinking about successive issues involving politics, social movements, reforms and revolutions in history of the Latin American continent.
