O RAP É O ARGUMENTO: CULTURA PERIFÉRICA E ATIVIDADES ARGUMENTATIVAS NO NONO ANO DE UMA ESCOLA PÚBLICA DE SALVADOR - BA

Abstract

This memorial, titled Rap is the argument: peripheral culture and argumentative activities in the ninth year of a public school in Salvador-BA, developed at PROFLETRAS-UFBA, presents the results of the intervention project applied at the state school Rafael Oliveira, located in the neighborhood of Cajazeiras 8, in the city of Salvador, whose objective was the study of argumentative structures, through rap and peripheral culture to broaden the use of reading, writing and orality, mediating and strengthening empowerment with a view to social transformation. Faced with the need to seek strategies for producing oral and written texts, we choose the universe of the Hip Hop movement, which with its artistic and cultural manifestations: dance, visual art (Graffiti) and music (Rap), gets close to the part of the youth segment. We were interested in understanding the uses of verbal and non-verbal as well as the effects of meaning that we can understand when we critically place ourselves in the world. In the classroom, we sought, together with the students, to develop a work considering multimodality and a dialogue model of argumentation. The conceptual bases are based on the studies of Street (2007), Kleiman (2005), Souza (2011), Plantin (2008), Bortone (2008), among others. The reading of the activity modules with Bahian rap lyrics was a strategy used to stimulate the (re) knowledge of the language strategies that expose the mechanisms of oppression to which the students are subjected, highlighting the ethno-racial, gender and social issues. The purpose of the project was to work in a contextualized way, involving the school and its actors, looking for interdisciplinarity and interaction, which went to the culmination of actions open to the community, validating several artistic productions that bring voice to all. The result showed a deconstruction of the discourse of marginalization that poses in a little positive way the identity and subjectivity of these subjects.
