THE HIP-HOP IS IN THE SCHOOL

cultural shakes

Abstract

This text is an article of the research/extension project that is engaged in the Hip Hop movement from Pelotas done during the years of 2000 and 2001 by members of the center of cultural studies of the Physical Education College of the Federal University from Pelotas (ESEF/ UFPel). Besides being part of a bigger project — the local Hip Hop study —, in this text we look for, as soon as possible, focusing specifically in some questions about the school and not school culture, such as: the treatment delegated to the body, the relations of the power that there are in both and its possible inter-relations. These questions were mattered using the Hip Hop as the cultural line reference. For doing this we used, basically, the file of photography from the project, highlighting the graffiti workshop photos made by us with two schools from Pelotas.
