A(s) cara(s) do crime: a criminalização do funk pela ótica do dispositivo de racialidade

Abstract

Funk is a sociocultural manifestation that has been developing in Brazil for 40 years. This manifestation suffers from police repression and restrictions imposed by public administration, which is why it is often associated with the logic of criminality. The aim of this research is to investigate the criminalization of the funk movement through the lens of the philosophical concept of the raciality device. To achieve the purpose, a deductive methodology with the reference of bibliographic review gathering data collected from books, scientific articles, also philosophical and criminological theses to understand this social phenomenon and its correlation with the struggle for rights of black populations from the brazilian favelas. Therefore, it was concluded that although there is no explicit effort of the State acting on criminalization of this cultural manifestation, its operation occurs through the raciality device, underpinning the logic of restricting the rights to culture and the city for marginalized urban populations.
