Dois MCs vão cair no bang-bang: o ritual de interação face a face nas rodas de rima

Abstract

In “Two MCs they will get in the bang-bang – The ritual of interaction face to face in the Rhyme Battles" I support that the Rhyme Battles constitute an interaction ritual that contains specific practices harnessed to the collective experience of a movement. The form as the individuals interacts and they answer to the external incentives consists in a concerned sociological debate with the relationships between individual and social world, in the case of my present researches, between the individual and the city of Rio de Janeiro – concentrated in the Vila Isabel’s Rhyme Battle, Factory of Rap. Placing the Battle inside of the theoretical universe of the interactionism and theory on the ritual performance, I try to understand the path of emergency of the movement hip-hop and the form as their representatives are expressed. Such form presents similarities in the interaction ritual along the history, that are capable to act as memory lives and to present new information on the interaction face the face.
