When words fail, music speaks: memories of experiences of university voices that emerge in musical playlists, in the form of podcasts, in an Orality classes, in a De-gree

Abstract

This manuscript analyzes the applicability of the musical playlist genre, through podcast, in a classroom of a degree course, more precisely in the Orality component, at a public university in the interior of Paraíba. This is an action research, therefore qualitative, of a descriptive and exploratory nature, which analyzed, based on the musical choices of six students, aged between 21 and 24 years old, how and to what levels these choices impacted their lives. , in the comparison between the experiences lived with the selected songs. Often, I intended to: a) categorize, based on the statements collected, depending on the musical choices, the different experiences based on the memories reported; and b) analyze the possible impacts of the experiences listed on the employees’ behaviors based on the categories listed above. The theoretical bases are anchored in Benjamin (1994; 2021); in Orlandi (2007) to address multiple forms of silencing; and in Le Goff for the perspectives of memory and history. Some results draw attention to the choices: a) the anxieties and uncertainties that the majority experienced during the Covid-19 pandemic; b) loving passions; c) childhood trauma, sexual abuse, for example; and d) sweet imaginary journeys in childhood.
