Batalhas de poesia Slam: representatividade sócio-literária.

Abstract

The battle of poetry Slam is a mode of spoken poetry that expands its own meaning, both by showing itself as a social movement as well as a mode of spoken poetry. Still little known, the battles of Slam poetry show itself as a space in which the voice is represented from its diversity, representing various social groups from themes such as gender, race, and social class. Thus, the present work aims to understand how this literary manifesto and, consequently, the social representation present in the discourse of the authors in the production of the poetry recited in the battles. To do this, we will analyze three poems recited in the main Slam battle groups; understanding the aspects that represent the black woman, the deaf community and the urban periphery. Our main source of research is based on the considerations given by Roberta Estrela D'alva, being she pioneer both in research and founder of the movement in Brazil. In addition, a brief dialogue with the concepts of marginality in the literature is necessary, as it will contribute to understand the aspects of the production of these poems.
