| description | The present article proposes a socio-ecocritical approach to the lyrics of three songs by the Chilean singer-songwriter Víctor Jara: “El arado”, “El pimiento” and “Angelita Huenumán”. The analysis of the representations and the literary figures arranged in the letters allows us to determine a symbiosis between nature and humanity, a relationship also mediated in many cases by the act of working. The poetic proposal of Víctor Jara is revolutionary against the traditionalist and nostalgic conceptions of nature held by other musical currents, such as “popular music”. At the same time, the context of production of the songs, marked by the processes of the Chilean land reform, allows stressing the notions about land ownership, and the relationship that society establishes with nature. These questions remain present in the current context of environmental crisis; moreover, revisiting the Víctor Jara’s songs enables us to imagine new possible worlds. |

El presente artículo propone un abordaje socio-ecocrítico a la letra de tres canciones del cantautor chileno Víctor Jara: “El arado”, “El pimiento” y “Angelita Huenumán”. El análisis de las representaciones y de las figuras literarias dispuestas en las letras permite determinar una simbiosis entre naturaleza y humanidad, relación a su vez mediada en muchos casos por el acto de trabajar. La propuesta poética de Víctor Jara resulta revolucionaria frente a las concepciones tradicionalistas y nostálgicas de la naturaleza sostenidas por otras corrientes musicales como la Música Típica. Al mismo tiempo, el contexto de producción de las canciones, marcado por los procesos de reforma agraria, permite tensionar las nociones sobre la propiedad de la tierra y la relación que la sociedad establece con la naturaleza. Estos interrogantes se mantienen latentes en el contexto actual de crisis ambiental; en complemento, el acto de revisitar las canciones de Víctor Jara permite imaginar nuevos mundos posibles. Este artigo propõe uma abordagem sócio-ecocrítica da letra de três melodias do cantor-compositor chileno Víctor Jara: “El arado”, “El pimiento” e “Angelita Huenumán”. Analisando tanto as representações quanto as figuras literárias dispostas na letra, é possível determinar uma simbiose entre natureza e humanidade, uma relação mediatizada em muitos casos pelo trabalho. A proposta poética de Víctor Jara é revolucionária em comparação com as concepções tradicionalistas e nostálgicas da natureza sustentadas por outras correntes musicais, como a Música Típica. Ao mesmo tempo, o contexto de produção das canções é marcado pelos processos de reforma agrária, que nos permite questionar as noções de propriedade da terra, e a relação que a sociedade estabelece com a natureza. Estas questões permanecem latentes no atual contexto de crise ambiental, onde revisitar as músicas de Víctor Jara nos permite imaginar novos mundos possíveis.
