Critical Discourse Analysis in rap: a socio-educational perspective

Hip-hop, as well as rap, consists of a cultural strand whose main objective, dealing more specifically with musical productions, is social and political denunciation, which has the role of raising awareness and critical training of subjects, especially those who inhabit the peripheries. The concern that justified the realisation of this research arose in the observation of the need for a deepening in studies related to ideology in texts by teachers of basic education, given that, in today's society, it is necessary to have subjects with the necessary criticality to perceive power relations, not becoming just an alienated subject, led by the media. Another factor that contributed to this investigation was the need to insert texts marginalised by society in classroom studies, because, when used, they privilege only aspects of normative grammar, thus excluding ideological aspects. This work will be of interest to Portuguese language professionals and language students who are interested in the study of ideology in texts such as this, which are little explored in the classroom.
