Da rima à raça: narrativa rap e consciência histórica na poesia de Pelé do manifesto

Abstract

Considering Brazilian education as a constructor of a hegemonic educational discourse in the sense of reproducing stereotypes towards the Afro-Brazilian populations, this study aims to dialogue with the narrative poems of Pelé do Manifesto in the attempt to promote reflections in school space about the historical consciousnesses, as well as of the historical identities that their compositions may engender. The methodological treatment developed by this research was based on the analysis of the rapper's musical compositions lyrics, as well as on interviews he granted, as well as the execution of a pedagogical intervention project that allowed the application of his lyrics in school space. In this way, the musical compositions of the Rap genre, written by Pelé do Manifesto, can be observed as being fruitful in the process of constructing historical identities, which allows us to conclude that Rap music mobilizes historical knowledge - which is resulting from practical life experiences - and presents itself as a fruitful didactic language in the teaching of History, contributing to the awakening of an identity affinity with Afro-Brazilian populations.
