“Visible” borders and displacements: essay through graffiti and funk

Abstract:

This article seeks to contribute to embarking on the theme of "visible" borders and forced displacements. An essay is carried out in the light of Discursive Analysis as an analytical tool, through, and in the articulation, of three main elements of study: a) the expressions of the graffiti; b) the manifestation of funks; c) the use of bibliographic study support. From this exercise of articulation, we seek to understand the discursive formation that makes possible the rescue of theoretical debates. The meanings linked to production conditions turn to the factions in Rio de Janeiro, which use different elements in the midst of the territorial/economic domain dispute. The issue of the “trafficking tagger” is debated, concomitant with the manifestation of funks, and the reinforcement of the pre-built around habits and customs that underlie ideas that permeate situations of power. There is the production of “visible” borders and, as a possible result, the production of forced displacements in a coercive way: if subjects do not “adhere” to the demarcation inscribed in the field of power. The irremediable contradictions of capitalist sociability lead to a relation of objectivity that is expressed in productions of experiences linked to violence. The faction is perceived as a group with business “status” that has a symbolic and normative structure linked to violence.
