Culture: between the arena of struggle and the Hip Hop movement

| Summary: | In this text, we will discuss the concept of culture based on Stuart Hall’s (1989, 2001, 2003, 2004) studies in order to highlight the plural and political features of culture and to contextualize the Hip Hop Movement and its elements (MC / rapper, DJ, graffiti, break) as cultural and occupant of urban space and periphery, mainly in the Brazilian scenario. In addition to the theoretical support of Hall, we also dialogue with other authors such as Foucault (2014, 1995), Gonçalves (2010), Queiroz (2005), Bakhtin (2003), Kellner (2001), Shusterman (1998) and Silva (1998), which bring important contributions to defense the Hip Hop as a cultural plural. Among the elements of Hip Hop, we will highlight the figure of the MC (Master of Ceremony) or rapper for his responsibility, in partnership with the DJ, for producting and for singing the raps, in whose lyrics, commonly, have criticism of various segments of society. So we bring some raps to illustrate the discussion. |
