"Conceito de Rua": a construção dos espaços de memória no hip hop brasileiro

Abstract

This dissertation examines the influence of Brazilian Hip-Hop, from its origins to the present day, on the construction and dissemination of knowledge, memory, and cultural identity. It also explores the role of Information Science in these processes. The specific objectives include mapping and analyzing main works and authors that address the relationship between Brazilian Hip-Hop, memory and identity formation, and Information Science; proposing a conceptual model that interconnects Brazilian Hip-Hop, Information Science, and the processes of memory, identity, and cultural construction; investigating how Brazilian Hip-Hop serves as a tool for building collective memory and valuing Brazilian popular culture, particularly in urban peripheries; and assessing how Information Science can contribute to organizing, preserving, and disseminating the cultural production of Brazilian Hip-Hop. Focusing on urban interventions from the 1970s and 1980s, such as those on Rua 24 de Maio and Largo do São Bento, the research seeks to understand how these events shaped the movement's culture and identity on a national scale. The results highlight their historical and cultural relevance.
