If recent audiovisual production addresses itself to a reconfiguration of the biographical as proper genre, we can certainly reflect about the way this tendency crosses the most canonical taxonomies, particularly a metamorphic (and unclassifiable) genre like musical, which was defined a genre "without matter" (because it has no fixed subjects, places and times of setting).

Abstract

If recent audiovisual production addresses itself to a reconfiguration of the biographical as proper genre, we can certainly reflect about the way this tendency crosses the most canonical taxonomies, particularly a metamorphic (and unclassifiable) genre like musical, which was defined a genre "without matter" (because it has no fixed subjects, places and times of setting). What happens if the story of a life espouses the formal conventions of musical language?The essay aims to explore this specific rhetoric intersection, throughout some of the last works belonging to what is called "musical biopic".
