Representação da violência nas letras de rap de Dory de Oliveira e Kmila CDD.

Abstract

Hip hop began as a cultural and leisure expression for poor and young people and as a movement of resistance and protest. The movement’s character of claiming for rights and social inclusion and for being an instrument for the entertainment of youth is accentuated. Due to its urban characteristics, the movement has always occupied the streets, the city’s public places, which caused an erasure of women, due to the cult of a domestic life created around the female gender. This resulted in secondary roles for women, moving them away from presentation and production environment, that started to change only around the 2000s, when we noticed a greater insertion of them, questioning their gender roles. In this way, this research seeks to understand how the rap made by Dory de Oliveira and Kmila CDD represent the violence of women’s daily life in the lyrics of their songs. From the decomposition process (decoupage) of the songs, added to the biographical contents and with the socio-historical and cultural contexts that constitute these productions. It becomes evident with the analysis that discussions that had been neglected for a long time appears from these lyrics that now shed light on issues of socially present sexism and its reflection within hip hop, thinking about violence in its multiple aspects, how the socially created stereotypes about women appears in the most traditional lyrics, denouncing the subjugation of their hip hop roles just for being a woman.
