Análises estéticas do rap: a arte genuína e seu papel na emancipação humana

Abstract

This Course Completion Paper (TCC) has as a proposal to make an analysis of the rap musical genre, from an aesthetic perspective: specific branch of philosophy, which has in its purpose the study of arts. To accomplish this work, I have conditioned a careful path for the analysis of my research object, starting from two aesthetics that dialogue and complement each other: Hegel's aesthetics and the Marxist aesthetics of Hungarian philosopher György Lukács. From this aesthetic analysis of rap, I intend to bring some pertinent questions to the musical genre. I will try to answer if rap can be considered a genuine form of art, and also how would the constitution of a genuine work of art be based on the reflections made in Hegelian aesthetics and Marxist aesthetics. I will also seek to analyze the relationship between rap and objective reality, based on the concept of "realism" (ENGELS, 2010) and the "aesthetic reflection" (LUKÁCS, 2018) of objective reality. And finally, I intend to analyze the possibilities that can be glimpsed for human emancipation from art, and what would be its role in this process, especially rap as an aesthetic object.
