Brazilian cultural history and politics

The hip-hop culture is oriented aiming establish a collective project for society as a whole. In this case, the objective of this essay is to analyze the cultural activities of hip-hop in Africa and Brazil as possible mediations to new social practices and forms of representation on the various conflicts in the everyday. From a literature search focused on the theoretical line of Cultural Studies that thinks the process of identity and social representation, and also of the informal conversations with the hip-hop collective carried out in 2012, we noted the hip-hop role in democratization of information, as of new channel of information and the inclusion of new issuers.
