This dissertation investigates figurative constructions in Brazilian rap lyrics
produced in the last decade, aiming at comprehending their value as elements of
identity (de)construction. This research stands thus in a position that brings together
the following intellectual developments: (a) studies of identity as a creature of
language; (b) studies of figurativity as a founding phenomenon in language,
thought, and action; and (c) studies of popular music as an important element in the
constitution of the social identities. Under a non representationalist view of language,
the analysis shows that Brazilian rap lyrics produced in the last decade manifest a
tension between an implicit rhetoric - discernible, for example, on ontological, spatial
and structural crystallized figures associated with a number of deep-rooted cultural
predilections – and a more explicit rhetoric - manifested, above all, in a deliberate
investment on the destabilization and resignification of such crystallized figures. This
study has two principal and interconnected conclusions: considering the analyzed
sample, we see, first, that a major characteristic of the examined figures is their
propensity to a radical volatility, their tendency to systematically frustrate stable
interpretive results; second, partly because of this very volatility, rap figures play an
important role with respect to identitary processes, often blending reinforcement and
destabilization of culturally entrenched oppositions, and allowing for a less
dichotomic understanding of the identity interplay going on in the socio-cultural field
in focus.
