Os atravessamentos dos corpos em Homem na estrada, Negro drama e Diário de um detento

Abstract

This work aims to reflect on the rap musics “Homem na Estrada”, “Negro Drama” and “Diário de um Detento”, by the Brazilian group “Racionais MC’s”. Initially, the proposal is to reflect about the universe of these lyrics and elucidate them in the context of my teaching practice. Along this dissertation, the purpose is to go through oral and written testimonials of students from the Municipal Education and relate them to this discussion. It is also proposed to follow such testimonials, always using rap as a fundamental, collective and powerful tool - and, in particular, the Racionais MC’s’s work. In addition to that, theorists such as Abdias do Nascimento, Frantz Fanon and Michael Foucault are used to expand the debate. Purposefully, this research preserves my writing form – which tries to escape as much as possible from a straight, obtuse and crystallized academic proposal. For this, the voices of these children, their experiences as black children and part of my story as a student and teacher are brought as a relevant factor. I believe that we can only reach a horizontal thought when we level everyone to the same scale; therefore, if I have theorists alongside rappers or my students testimonials, it’s because I want to avoid the idea of a supreme truth or different categories (avoiding that kind of superiority). This is a work that talks about / with / for these students
