O SAMBA COMO MOVIMENTO CULTURAL DE RESISTÊNCIA: UMA APROXIMAÇÃO ATRAVÉS DE PENSADORES MARXISTAS

Abstract

This article sought to analyze samba as a cultural movement of resistance and claim by male and female workers in the country's peripheries and slums. The compositions “Zé do Caroço” by Lecy Brandão (1975) and “Sonho Estranho” by Moacyr Luz and Chico Alves (2019) were used. Dialectical historical materialism was used as the theoretical-methodological path. We used authors from the critical field, in particular, E. P. Thompson and M. Bakhtin, for formulating theoretical concepts related to the categories: Culture / Class / Class Awareness and Language / Discourse. To analyze samba as “communication of the oppressed”, we privilege Eduardo Granja Coutinho. It was hypothesized that the culture of the working class continues to have its necessary and urgent role in this journey marked by oppression. As a conclusion, we understand that samba has a marked space as a protagonist in popular culture, in moments of struggle and in moments of glory, through past-present-future dialogicity and that the construction of the discourse is completely implicated in its common meanings, of experience.
