Teçamos leituras e desatemos nós: reflexões sobre as relações de gênero nas letras de canções do funk

Abstract

The various imperatives of conduct, the symbolic violence in gender relations, arising from the patriarchal culture, are inherent to languages and language, verticalizing in the attitudes and procedures of the subjects who internalize the idea of male supremacy, disseminated daily by the media and institutions social. In this sense, the general objective of this research was to understand how gender relations occur in lyrics of funk songs, in order to conceive a didacticpedagogical proposal that supports teaching actions aimed at critical reading. It is based on three theoretical axes: gender relations, reading as a social practice and funk. The research carried out, with a qualitative approach, had an exploratory and interventionist character, constituting itself as action research, in a group of students/the 9th year of Elementary School, in the city of Nova Cruz-RN. Methodological procedures were developed through initial and final diagnostic activity, conversation circle, workshops and participant observation. With regard to gender relations, studies by Bourdieu (2020); Carvalho, Andrade and Junqueira (2009); Ferreira (2021); Blonde (2014); Aguiar (2011); Barbosa (2019); Vanderley (2018) and others. About reading as a social practice, this research is anchored in Cafiero (2010); Pedroso (2013); Antunes (2003); Geraldi (2011); Portela and Santana (2019); Cavalcante, (2012) and others. With regard to the lyrics of songs from the Funk genre, the study was based on Rerschmann (2005); Red (2010); Saints (2019); Silva (2017); Vassolér (2019) and others. As explained in the initial diagnostic activity, and based on the analysis of the meaning cores, it was verified that patriarchal culture and gender stereotypes are naturalized in the students' daily lives. The result of the research provided the feasibility of pedagogical activities that problematized and expanded the criticality regarding gender relations and their stereotypes. These activities carried out in the 9th grade class originated the Proposition of Pedagogical Practices - Untying Knots on Gender Relations in Funk - with the purpose of contributing to teaching practice in terms of the development of activities aimed at reflection and discussion on gender relations. gender. Therefore, the patriarchalism rooted and disseminated by language, by cultural artifacts, by social institutions, such as family and school, for example, affects the formation of identities and conducts of subjects, so that these are verticalized by stereotypes, although, during the research, particularly in carrying out the final diagnostic activity, processes of resistance, rupture and change were signaled with regard to the speech and behavior of students in relation to gender inequalities.
