The dissertation presents a series of quantitative and qualitative analyses, derived from responses to a questionnaire prepared during the research and administered to a group of 111 Spotify users. The study incorporates critical theoretical approaches from several classic authors, with notable reference to Theodor W. Adorno (1985, 2017, 2020) and Walter Benjamin (2012), and contemporary authors, such as Robert Prey (2015, 2020) and Jack Webster (2022), regarding debates on music listening, technology and society. The research findings highlight the emergence of diverse listening relationships that shape listening practices, habits, conceptions, and experiences on Spotify. Transformations are detected in the musical preferences, listening modes, temporality and spatiality of listeners' musical listening after using the streaming service. Additionally, gender, race, and generational factors emerge as influential elements in the constitution of listening practices within an algorithmic environment. 2023-11-08T00:00:00Z https://repositorio.ufu.br/handle/123456789/48670 Title: Distorção na guitarra elétrica: história e evolução no século XX 2026-03-26T00:00:00Z https://repositorio.ufu.br/handle/123456789/48566 Title: Epistemologias do axé: corpo, memória e de(s)colonialidade na dança afro-brasileira Abstract: “Exú killed a bird yesterday with the stone he will only throw tomorrow.” This Yoruba maxim announces a conception of time that disrupts linearity and causality, returning to experience the power to produce meaning. It is within this fold of spiral time that this research is situated. This dissertation investigates Orixá dance as a language of resistance, self-writing, and a legitimate field of knowledge production, understanding the Afro-diasporic body as a territory of memory, creation, and crossing, sustained by axé and ancestral cosmoperceptions that precede Western modern logic. Grounded in autoethnography and performative writing, the research articulates ritual, autobiography, fiction, and critical reflection, assuming the body as a living archive and an epistemological operator. The writing unfolds as a spiral experience, breaking with temporal and methodological linearity in order to affirm the crossroads as a procedure for creation and thought. The fictional narratives, experiences in the terreiro, and the artistic processes developed within the project “Um Quê de Negritude” and the Collective Boca 07 constitute the empirical corpus, articulating scene, ritual, and memory as inseparable fields of knowledge production. In dialogue with authors such as Martins (2021), Rufino (2019; 2023), Santos (2002; 2023), Silva (2016; 2021), Moura (2019), Prandi (2001), Bento (2022), Césaire (2021), Schucman (2014), Nogueira (2020), Lima (2023), Côrtes, Santos and Andraus (2020), Ferreira (2008; 2011), and Fernandes (2013), the study challenges the structures of coloniality and whiteness that continue to regulate modes of aesthetic, pedagogical, and epistemological legitimation in Brazilian performing arts. Orixá dance is affirmed not as a technical repertoire or folkloric expression, but as a contracolonial practice of invention, thought, and existence. Recognizing Afro-Brazilian dances as complex systems of knowledge allows dance to be repositioned as a living language of ancestry, in which the body becomes archive, crossroads, and a gesture of temporal reconfiguration. 2026-02-23T00:00:00Z https://repositorio.ufu.br/handle/123456789/48558 Title: A criança em cena: jogos dramáticos no desenvolvimento socioemocional na educação infantil Abstract: This dissertation investigates dramatic games as an artistic language and aesthetic experience in Early Childhood Education, emphasizing their potential for the expression and understanding of emotions. The study examines how theatrical practices can contribute to the socio-emotional development of children aged five and six, articulating the fields of experience Sounds, Colors, Shapes and Forms and Socio-Emotional Skills, in accordance with the Brazilian National Common Core Curriculum (BNCC) and the Municipal Curriculum Guidelines of Uberlândia (DCMs). The research adopts a qualitative, descriptive, and participatory approach and was conducted in a municipal early childhood education school in Uberlândia, Minas Gerais, with a second-level group. Methodological procedures included bibliographic research, document analysis, a case study, field notes, and photographic and audiovisual documentation. The pedagogical-artistic actions involved Emotion Workshops, theatrical performances, and dramatic games inspired by the book The Color Monster, children’s songs, and dramatic games developed in workshops with the Emcantar Group. The results indicate that dramatic games enabled meaningful aesthetic experiences, enhanced emotional expression, and strengthened children’s protagonism, reaffirming the power of theatre in Early Childhood Education. 2026-02-26T00:00:00Z
