Rimas amazônidas: uma revisão de escopo sobre o rap e a rima como resistência marginal

Abstract

This research is a scoping review on rap and rhyme, aiming to analyze their role as tools of social and political resistance in the Amazon region of northern Brazil. This review used the recommendations of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis Protocols – extension for scoping reviews (PRISMA-ScR). After filtering and screening, 7 studies were obtained as a result of the search. The content analysis methodology of Bardin (2016) and Abad and Abad (2022) was adopted for the organization and interpretation of data, highlighting the definition of recording units and context units. The analysis carried out in this study allowed us to understand rap as a multifaceted cultural phenomenon that operates simultaneously as an instrument of political resistance, a mental health tool, and a counter-hegemonic project of Amazonian re-signification. The results demonstrate that the identified linguistic strategies (metaphors, antitheses, metonymy, such as "Armored Thought" and "The Mirror," antitheses such as "Progress vs. Destruction") are not merely aesthetic resources, but discursive structures of emancipation that subvert the oppressive linguistic order. This research showed that rap transcends its function as protest to constitute itself as an organized epistemological project. Therefore, we suggest that complementary studies be carried out to follow up and deepen the topic in question.
