Análisis literario e intertextual en la propuesta poética de las letras de Gustavo Cerati

Abstract

In a world steeped in literature and music, Cerati's works allow us to appreciate the dialogues between the two. Therefore, the objective of this study is to analyze Cerati's song lyrics and their literary, intertextual, and literary device relationships throughout his career as the leader of Soda Stereo and as a solo artist. In this way, it is demonstrated how the singer, through his music, keeps Latin America's literary tradition alive, bringing it to the masses. For the preparation of this article, a qualitative textual analysis methodology based on the theories of Barthes, Kristeva, and Genette was used. Furthermore, the compilation of articles, theses, interviews, and other material allowed for a visualization of the scarce background material on this topic. Finally, the conclusions show how Cerati visualizes literature and transforms it into lyrics, which are replete with intertextuality.
