O rap e seu compromisso: alienação e separação nas obras de Djonga

Abstract

More than 130 years after the abolition of slavery, the colonization process has left profound marks on society, a context in which rap emerges as an instrument to denounce the social stigmas faced by those living on the margins of society. In light of this, this study aimed to understand historical racial suffering through the psychic constitution of the subject, drawing on authors such as Neusa Santos Souza, Frantz Fanon, and Isildinha Nogueira, and utilizing Jacques Lacan's concepts of alienation and separation. The research was methodologically grounded in Orlandi's (2003) Discourse Analysis, applying the following analytical devices: equivocation, paraphrase, silence, polysemy, and metaphor. The corpus is composed of selected verses from the songs Atípico, Corra, and Hat-trick by the rapper Djonga. The excerpts from the work allowed us to observe the incidence of the alienating discourse of the Other in relation to the subject. We conclude that the enunciator undergoes a process of separation from this discourse, finding a singular path of subjectivation and affirmation in society.
