Exitus [online]. 2019, vol.9, n.4, pp.695-719. Epub May 15, 2020. ISSN 2237-9460. https://doi.org/10.24065/2237-9460.2019v9n4id1030.
In this article, we analyze the construction of authorship and processes of subjectivation by a collective of hip hop that organizes “rodas culturais”, in the complex of favelas of Manguinhos, Rio de Janeiro. Rodas culturais are initiatives of a public character, linked to the hip hop movement and of recent emergence in the carioca scene. With this scenario, we seek to understand such events and texts, in their live mode, as well as in the digital medias. We have assumed the rodas as cultural instances generating processes of subjectivation and subject positions, in its political, pedagogical, identity and symbolic dimensions. Based on the cultural studies in its poststructuralist dimension, we have taken the rhymes, events and performances present in the rhythms of the roda as discursive artifacts, which make us believe that in the construction of authorship the youth manifest relevant agency in the cultural sphere (urban and digital), which is both educational and politic. When we glimpse aspects of the construction of authorship, we observe the mechanisms of appropriation and creation of subject positions that operate in the production and circulation of subjectivities, evidencing how young people metaphorize and ironize in order to denounce and reflect on the direct violence and oppression of life and bodies, as well as the normalizing and inferiorizing objectivations that act in the ways of thinking, relating to others and constructing their identities.
