Resumo: Flagellated since the event of slavery, due to structural racism, black corporeality still lacks narratives that strengthen it in political-cultural engagement. Stereotypes dedicated to black women and black men are parodied and censored in the compositions of the Bahian rapper Baco Exu do Blues, through acid criticism. In the dialectic that is established in the production of language, in response to racist and anti-racist statements, the artist engenders the recognition of the positive capabilities of Afro-descendants by bringing narratives of empowerment, especially for black youth. Rap works by disseminating that assuming blackness is a political act and necessary to face prejudice and discrimination. It is a struggle fought at the level of constructions of everyday ideology, which influences individual consciences and all systems of human expression. Based on the assumptions of Dialogical Discourse Analysis, the present work aims to examine the conditions of production of the discursive materiality of black corporeality and Baco’s discourse about this constitution in his songs. The theoretical basis of the research, in addition to the Philosophy of Language, also dialogues with the Theory of Literature and Cultural Studies. As a research method, the metalinguistic approach is used. Sometimes parodying, sometimes censoring the commonplace, the rapper promotes black pride. Thus, a language is produced that encompasses the philosophy of Black Consciousness, the thought that corresponds to an essential part of the struggle that seeks to repair the damage suffered by oppression and the silencing of alterities dominated by white supremacy.

Los estereotipos dedicados a la mujer negra y al hombre negro son parodiados y censurados en las composiciones del rapero bahiano Baco Exu do Blues, a través de la crítica ácida. En la dialéctica que se establece en la producción del lenguaje, en respuesta a los pronunciamientos racistas y antirracistas, el artista engendra el reconocimiento de las capacidades positivas de los afrodescendientes al traer narrativas de empoderamiento, especialmente para la juventud negra. El rap funciona difundiendo que asumir la negritud es un acto político y necesario para enfrentar los prejuicios y la discriminación. Es una lucha librada al nivel de las construcciones de la ideología cotidiana, que influye en las conciencias individuales y en todos los sistemas de expresión humana. A partir de los presupuestos del Análisis Dialógico del Discurso, el presente trabajo tiene como objetivo examinar las condiciones de producción de la materialidad discursiva de la corporeidad negra y el discurso de Baco sobre esta constitución en sus canciones. La base teórica de la investigación, además de la Filosofía del Lenguaje, también dialoga con la Teoría de la Literatura y los Estudios Culturales. Como método de investigación se utiliza el enfoque metalingüístico. A veces parodiando, a veces censurando el lugar común, el rapero promueve el orgullo negro. Se produce así un lenguaje que incluye la filosofía de la Conciencia Negra, el pensamiento que corresponde a una parte esencial de la lucha que busca reparar los daños sufridos por la opresión y el silenciamiento de las alteridades dominadas por la supremacía blanca.Flagelada desde o evento da escravidão, diante do racismo estrutural, a corporalidade negra ainda carece de narrativas que a fortaleçam no engajamento político-cultural. Os estereótipos dedicados à mulher negra e ao homem negro são parodiados e censurados nas composições do rapper baiano Baco Exu do Blues, mediante críticas ácidas. Na dialética que se estabelece na produção da linguagem, em resposta a enunciados racistas e antirracistas, o artista engendra o reconhecimento das capacidades positivas dos afrodescendentes trazendo narrativas de empoderamento, principalmente para a juventude preta. O rap atua disseminando que assumir a negritude é um ato político e necessário para o enfrentamento ao preconceito e à discriminação. Trata-se de uma luta travada no plano das construções da ideologia do cotidiano, que influencia as consciências individuais e todos os sistemas de expressão humana. A partir dos pressupostos da Análise Dialógica do Discurso, o presente trabalho possui como objetivo examinar as condições de produção da materialidade discursiva da corporeidade negra e o discurso de Baco acerca dessa constituição em suas canções. A base teórica da pesquisa, além da Filosofia da Linguagem, dialoga também com a Teoria da Literatura e os Estudos Culturais. Como método de investigação é utilizada a abordagem metalinguística. Ora parodiando, ora censurando o lugar-comum, o rapper agencia o orgulho negro. Assim, é produzida uma linguagem que abrange a filosofia da Consciência Negra, o pensamento que corresponde a uma parte essencial da luta que busca reparar os danos sofridos pela opressão e o silenciamento das alteridades dominadas pela supremacia branca. Editora da PUCRS - ediPUCRS2022-11-17info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/fale/article/view/4347910.15448/1984-7726.2022.1.43479Letras de Hoje; Vol. 57 No. 1 (2022): Single Volume; e43479Letras de Hoje; Vol. 57 Núm. 1 (2022): Volumen único; e43479Letras de Hoje; v. 57 n. 1 (2022): Volume Único; e434791984-77260101-333510.15448/1984-7726.2022.1reponame:Letras de Hoje (Online)instname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)instacron:PUC_RSporhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/fale/article/view/43479/27779Copyright (c) 2022 Letras de Hojehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSantos, Camilla Ramos dosRocha, Marlucia Mendes da2022-12-07T12:00:21Zoai:ojs.revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br:article/43479Revistahttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/falePRIhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/fale/oaieditora.periodicos@pucrs.br || letrasdehoje@pucrs.br1984-77260101-3335opendoar:2022-12-07T12:00:21Letras de Hoje (Online) - Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)false
