Violência contra as mulheres e o hip hop de salvador: o protagonismo feminino no enfrentamento a violência

Abstract

The present work is the result of an investigation and reflection on the performance of women from the Hip Hop movement and culture in the city of Salvador, in which I analyze and seek to know how these social agents articulate, individually and collectively, within this sociocultural movement, in order to to verify if their actions and activities, and use of the four elements and expressions of Hip Hop constitute ways of confronting violence against women. This proposal is developed from my experiences with the activities carried out and lived during the supervised internship period and from my performance and participation in the Hip Hop movement and culture, in which women undertake struggles and strategies to face machismo and violence against women. Thus, it is with this intersection of experiences, added to previous studies and readings of data on violence against women that my question arises, as a research problem: the performances of women in the Hip Hop movement and culture of Salvador, through its elements artistic, can they constitute ways of confronting violence against women? For this, the research was developed using Marx's dialectical materialism as a method of analysis, which understands social and historical phenomena as processes produced by active subjects. The proposal raised and analyzed bibliographic works, data, digital and printed materials (texts, news, etc.), photographic, audiovisual productions, which address or are related to the topic of violence against women and Hip Hop culture, in addition to machismo, sexism and feminism. Thus, starting from a theoretical-conceptual discussion about violence against women, its contexts and historical processes and developments in gender and racial inequalities, passing through the development of public policies to face and contribution of feminist social movements, especially the women's movement of Hip Hop, I seek to know if the use of its elements and artistic expressions are instruments of struggle.
