| dc.description.abstract | In this study, we aim at analyzing Racionais MC's group and rapper MV Bill
raps, in order to examine how power operates in the instance of production of discourse,
specifically in the construction of authorship, comparing them with the Mind da Gap
group‟s and rapper Boss AC‟s Portuguese raps.
To do this, we use as a theoretical and methodological scope studies of Michel
Foucault (1995, 2002b, 2004, 2013) about the relationship among discourse, power and
resistance, to ascertain the mode of production of these raps, as well as Bakhtin Circle‟s
concepts (1995, 2003, 2010b, 2013) on dialogism, responsive-active attitude,
authorship, surplus of vision / exotopy, to examine the specificities of the construction
of authorship in Brazilian and Portuguese raps. Therefore, in a specific detailed chapter,
we carry on about the listed theoretical concepts.
The corpus selection based on the listed albums (Nada como um dia após o
outro, 2002, by Racionais MC's group; Causa e Efeito, 2010, by rapper MV Bill;
Matéria Prima, 2008, by group Mind da Gap; Preto no Branco, 2009, by rapper Boss
AC) represent a phase in which the artists had already established their careers.
The research also presents a contextualization of the Hip Hop Movement from
the United States to Brazil and Portugal. In addition, the concepts of popular urban
culture are discussed from Bakhtin (2010a, 2010b), Canclini (2002, 2006), Certeau
(2001, 2003), Mayol (2005) and Hall (2003, 2004) perspectives.
After the joints performed which culminated in the analysis of the raps, we
conclude that the specificities for the construction of authorship in Brazilian and
Portuguese raps can be summarized as follows: i) in the rap style that presents
peculiarities; ii) the style that distinguishes the work in groups or individually; iii) the
dialogue between the spheres of ethics and aesthetics. | |
