Contemporary aesthetical expressions of resistance by the urban youth and the struggle for recognition: a reading of Nietzsche and Axel Honneth

The article proposes a debate based on Nietzsche's propositions about the genealogy of morals and his ideas about the master and the slave morality, the herd morality and the free spirit, by taking all these tools to approach some rap lyrics. At the same time, inspired by a field research about education through rap in the outskirts, we intend to provoke new tensions in this thinker's ideas, particularly by reflecting on the conditions that populations historically harmed in our society have been facing, with the understanding of the moral grammar of conflicts as proposed by Axel Honneth.

herd morality and free spirit; master morality and rap; the recognition neglected and social humiliation; libertarian territory and affirmative identity
