“Vim pra sabotar o seu raciocínio” : uma análise interseccional acerca da intelectualidade a partir da entrevista “Mano Brown no Roda Viva” (2007)

Abstract

This article presents introductory proposals for framing rapper Mano Brown as a peripheral intellectual from the conceptual perspective of philosopher Antonio Gramsci. We begin by providing an overview of Hip Hop and Rap in Brazil, moving on to a presentation about the rap group Racionais MC’s, which the target character of the research is part of. Below, we have the rapper's biography, complemented by an intersectional analysis based on social markers of race/gender. From this, we highlight some powerful topics/dialogues from the interview listed as an object of analysis to allude to the discussions generated throughout the text. We briefly point out the importance of the Roda Viva program in this space and process of legitimizing new insurgent thinkers.
