Abstract

Roberto Carlos is at once the most popular and most widely rejectedof Brazilian artists. The paper aims to understand the roots of thiscontradiction, including both the positives and value of his work -trying to relativize a number of stigmas and prejudices that surroundhis figure, and demonstrate, so to speak, the legitimacy of his crown– and, on the other hand, the standpoints of his detractors, in order toreveal the set of interests and positions that undergird these criticaljudgments.
