ETHÉ EM DIÁLOGOS NO RAP “EU COMPRO”

Abstract

In this article, our discussion will focus on the construction of ethé in the rap “Eu Compro”, by the group Racionais MC’s. For this, we used, as a theoretical and methodological scope, the studies of Maingueneau (2004, 2005, 2008, 2018) and Amossy (2005). Rap narrates situations that permeate social relationships and, as the title itself points out, in the first person of the speech, it indicates the acquisition of something through money. Throughout the analysis, it will be observed that social inequality is marked, with emphasis on consumption, mainly of high cost goods. Thus, the ethé that can be observed assume, at various times, the perspective of a frank, encouraging and denouncing man, when, in the first two cases, he wants to have better financial conditions and to enjoy the goods and services of the most affluent class, at the same time. a time when it shows the structural racism, which still exists in our society, when it seems that it cannot have the right to occupy consumption spaces, for example.
