A análise do funcionamento do discurso do Hip-Hop : A cidade de Bagé "Rapresentando" a fronteira

Abstract

This research, which is based on Discourse Analysis Theory following a French perspective, has as its objective analyzing the discourse present in the Hip-hop culture through a corpus constituted of contemporary rap lyrics of artists like Projota, Emicida and Rashid, as well as local artists from Bagé, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, as the group Opacos MC’s. The aim is to notice how people from Bagé can identify with this type of music, since this musical style has become strong in this area, especially among young people. A questionnaire related to Hip-hop culture was also applied for high school students coursing the senior year in a public school in Bagé, emphasizing issues related to their interest about this movement. The lyrics of the songs by Opacos MC’s from Bagé provided an interesting analysis about the rap music in this zone making it possible to notice how this discourse is enunciated here and how these individuals relate to the discursive formation of the rappers from the city. We stress the metropolitan Hiphop influence the groups have, the way Bagé is represented through their lyrics and how it interferes in Bagé’s social situation.
