Funk ostentação na zona norte paulistana

Resumo (EN)

This research seeks to understand the music scene of the “ostentation funk” among young people living on the outskirts of São Paulo city, specifically in the north, in the neighbourhoods of Brasilândia and Freguesia do Ó, through its appropriations and uses of global culture, in a post-peripheral perspective which comprises a blurring of boundaries between center and periphery. The musical practices analyzed are shown in a logic that challenges and negotiates, seeking its legitimation, appropriating privileged classes of consumer symbols. In this research we prioritize the question of technicality, corporeality, consumer culture and youth cultures in their belonging representations, setting intercultural spaces filled with cosmopolitan appropriations, but still in dialogue with the local cultural identity in their hybridism processes. The methodology uses the ethnography of this music scene as well as the analysis of some "montage" video clips made by these young people; moreover, we will track the trajectory of this kind of funk which, specifically in the city of São Paulo, trails an unique path, versing about consumption and its symbols of power.
