Xe Rohenoi Eju Orendive: rimas, rappers e hibridização cultural de povos indígenas no Brasil

Abstract: The aim of this text is to focus on cultural hybridization based on the indigenization of rap, emphasizing education as a space-time of subjective production in relation to otherness. In this sense, this essay debates the concept of “culture” as an alien term, reframed in the struggles of the original peoples. To compose the methodology, it is necessary to discuss these questions based on indigenous rappers' works, not only as an analysis, but with a view to composition, that is, integrating sounds and images into the author's essayistic thinking. The “result” is a perception of cultures and languages, without fear of threat or loss, visualizing possibilities of re-existence and strategic use, in this case, of Hip Hop aesthetics and poetry. The pedagogy at stake highlights indigenous demands, such as the demarcation of the land and the resumption of language and culture, in addition to performing ethnic differences. Furthermore, it calls for the whiteness, either to articulate the struggles or to understand the message minimally: indigenous peoples are not objects of anyone's imagination, but subjects in relational (de)construction with the world and who fight for what they believe, including against a violence that has persisted for hundreds of years. This paper is an invitation to review ideas preconceived by many landscapes about "the other", such as: identity stiffening, homogenizing generalization and an attempt to build a unique narrative. More than that, it wants to provoke purism and sameness, opening the production of meanings to the mystery of life, that is, the unknowable. Keywords: Education. Culture. Indigenous Rap.
