STREET RHYMES AND THE AESTHETICS OF RESISTANCE
Keywords:

Rio de Janeiro is going through a sort of unique organization of the public environment, the rising of the social segments and culture antinarrative that, somehow, suffer from marginalization and exclusion. As means of rhymes, rappers (“MCs”) are building a literary field, which creates tension on places of communication, culture, territorial appropriation, the city. It is a poetic production that requires reflection based on plural and distinct canonical tools that confronts its own concept of literature. The performance and the entire set which characterize such production are the starting point to comprehend the street rhymes aesthetically and politically. The aim of this article is to reflect upon urban literature, taking into account theorists like Homi Bhabha, Da Matta, Paul Zumthor, Stuart Hall.
