A musicoterapia sob um olhar político: reflexões a partir de entrevistas

Abstract

The way a population makes politics is directly related to the context in which it is inserted. In this paper, we conceptualize and reflect on politics - as we will call the ensemble that includes politics, political making, professional organization, professional representation and public politics - to discuss issues of Music Therapy as a profession. This research aims to observe and discuss how music therapists and music therapy students relate to politics and class. Because of this, the present work uses semi-structured interviews conducted with ten people, students and professionals of Music Therapy, recorded in audio, transcribed and analyzed individually, based on qualitative research of critical analysis. The analysis methodology was conducted following the steps: (1) Transcription of audios; (2) Summary of the interviews; (3) Separation by themes; (4) Grouping the interviews by themes and sub-themes; (5) Analysis of each theme and sub-theme; (6) Review of topics to adapt to new perceptions; (7) Summary of analysis and (8) Discussion of each topic. The answers are discussed from the perspective of the policy concepts that underlie the work.We understand that Music Therapy still has a long political path with regard to themes about the profession, requiring further studies in this area.
