A construção identitária a partir da ação política: o caso do movimento Hip-Hop na cidade de Campina Grande.

Abstract

Modernity and globalization create an environment where members of the movement appear sharing the same historical conjunctures, social and economic. The truth is that we can not consider the subject of this move as a unit globally homogeneous. The structural conditions of existence, interaction frames that move as well, as the social contexts of meaning production, are variables that relate to the formation of patterns of values, representations, behaviors and practices. The movement itself is built on foundations diversified different sociocultural elements. In light of the sociology of discourse, this study seeks to understand how is the process of institutionalization of the movement through political action of the subject. We understand that discourse is a social practice significant material nature and all social space should be considered as a discursive space if we expand the notion of discourse to that which articulates "every kind of connection between words and actions, thus forming wholes significant "(Laclau, 2000, p. 10). During that our analytical course, the theme of identity does not emerge as main focus - although perpasse whole discussion of our dissertation - it will appear as a product of discursive order to dispute the sense that Laclau and Mourffe (1985) called the field of discourse , which is the space where disputes occur discursive. Thus, the identity issue is addressed from the perspective of hegemonic discourse, which does not prevent us to dialogue with other authors who work indirectly with the question of identity. Thus, in a more specific sense, we make use of the Weberian concept of "ethnic community" Despite the Weberian concept be applied to large groups and nations, the meaning we give it in our work is reflected in the understanding of the emergence of minority groups through political action of their subjects. Therefore, we restrict ourselves to the case study of the Core Campina - NH2 C - which is located in the city of Campina Grande / PB, which like other urban centers, has serious social problems and high poverty rates. Space where various expressions of culture exercise their expressiveness, dialoguing with each other thus creating conducive environment for the consolidation of the movement.
