- Title
A favela tem nome próprio: a (re)significação do local na linguagem do funk carioca.
- Authors
Lopes, Adriana Carvalho
- Abstract
Funk carioca is a popular type of music in Brazil, produced and consumed mainly by the youth in the slums of Rio de Janeiro, known as favelas. More than entertainment and work, funk is a form of identity for the youngsters dwelling in the favelas. This paper combines linguistic analysis with ethnography in order to demonstrate that identities forged along such lines rely on a specific language in which funk performers re-signify their own social experiences and build a new cartography of the city. In such language, the slum is no longer a space of barbarism. It is instead a neighborhood where many of these young people live and enact their everyday practices
