Esta pesquisa propõe-se a analisar as incidências da formação vinculada ao jazz e ao rap no engajamento estético de jovens estudantes do ensino médio de uma escola pública, localizada em um bairro periférico de São Paulo. Entende-se por formação cultural (Bildung) a ideia de Theodor Adorno de uma educação voltada à emancipação. Esta perspectiva parece dialogar com o pensamento de Vilém Flusser, que propõe a articulação entre gesto artístico e ação política por meio do engajamento estético. Com base nesses conceitos, pretende-se investigar se a experiência formativa propiciada aos adolescentes por meio de ambos os estilos musicais promove o desenvolvimento da reflexão crítica, possibilitando a intervenção na realidade presente. Para empreender esta análise, foram abordados aspectos sobre a história social do rap e do jazz e as características formais desses gêneros, seguidas de alguns comentários a respeito do valor estético de acordo com diferentes perspectivas filosóficas. Constatou-se que as linguagens do rap e do jazz veiculam saberes ancestrais da Diáspora do Atlântico Negro e, nesse sentido, esses estilos musicais permitem um contato significativo com o legado das chamadas culturas negras. A partir disso, foram propostas atividades que envolveram a apreciação musical, debates, produção de relatos por meio de textos e desenhos, além da prática com instrumentos musicais de percussão durante o período letivo de 2015 nas aulas do ensino médio de Sociologia. Por fim, o propósito deste trabalho consistiu em uma busca de compreensão dos significados conferidos pelos estudantes às experiências que emergem da comunicação e do diálogo entre professor e aluno por meio do jazz e do rap, de modo a desestabilizar separações/cisões, envolvendo desde o gosto e a preferência por determinados estilos e/ou gêneros musicais, até entre corpo e mente, sujeito e objeto, professores e alunos. / The purpose of this research is to analyse the incidences of an education based on rap and jazz legacy and its contributions to the aesthetic engagement among high school students in São Paulo, Brazil. The concept of cultural formation (Bildung) as conceived by Theodor Adorno has affinity with an education for emancipation. This perspective seems to dialogue with another philosopher´s thinking, Vilém Flusser, who proposes the entailment between aesthetic gesture and political engagement through the concept of aesthetic engagement. Based on both concepts, it is expected to achieve a broader understanding on if the formative experience obtained from jazz and rap practices promotes a change of sensibility and reflective thinking. To address this purpose, it was presented some features of jazz and rap music and their social history, alongside with comments about their musical form from a philosophical point of view. From this, it were developed activities that involved musical listening and practicing, dialogues with the students, text productions and drawing in order to create self-reports. These activities occurred during Sociology classes in 2015. It is assumed that some elements that set the language of rap and jazz promotes both the immanence principle and the transmission of cultural meanings from Black Atlantic.

Cette thèse a eu pour objet d'expérimenter la chanson rap dans une classe de FLE au lycée marocain. Nous nous sommes tracé comme objectif pédagogique le développement des compétences de compréhension et de production de l'écrit en utilisant un genre musical qui est à la fois poétique et proche des centres d'intérêt des jeunes lycéens. Pour ce faire, nous avons organisé la thèse en trois parties. Dans la première partie nous avons présenté le contexte sociolinguistique du public cible, puis exposé les politiques éducatives en nous focalisant sur l'enseignement du français au Maroc. La deuxième partie a cerné les compétences fondamentales et le rôle des documents authentiques en classe de FLE avant de présenter les origines de la chanson rap et la poéticité de ses textes. Dans la troisième partie, nous avons exposé le protocole de recherche et l'enquête de terrain. L'enquête de terrain s'est déroulée au lycée Mouley Tayeb El Alaoui à Salé. Nous l'avons organisée en trois étapes en nous appuyant sur le questionnaire et l'entretien exploratoire (destinés aux élèves et aux enseignants de français) lors de la pré-enquête, et l'observation non participante lors du premier état des lieux : séance avec un poème et le deuxième état des lieux : séance avec la chanson rap.Les principaux résultats ont démontré une évolution dans le nombre de participation en classe ainsi que la qualité des réponses. Les apprenants parvenaient à répondre en justifiant et en argumentant. Motivés, ils ont montré un intérêt pour l'étude du sens comme pour les registres de langue. Le rap a constitué pour eux une invitation à découvrir un français différent des œuvres intégrales du programme scolaire. / The objective of this thesis is to experiment the rap song at an FLE Moroccan high school classroom. As a pedagogical objective, we have planned the development of comprehension and writing skills, by using a musical genre, which is, simultaneously, poetic and close to young high schoolers’ center of interests. For this purpose, we have arranged the thesis into three parts. In the first part, we have presented the sociolinguistic context of the target audience. Afterwards, we have exposed the educational policies by focusing on the teaching of French in Morocco. The second part encircled the underlying competencies, as well as the role of the authentic documents in an FLE class, before presenting the origins of rap songs and the peoticity of their lyrics. In the third part, we have uncovered the research protocol and field investigation. The field investigation took place at Moulay Tayeb El Alaoui high school in Sale. We have divided it into three phases, in which we have emphasized on the questionnaire and the exploration interview (devoted to the pupils and French tutors/teachers.) during the pre-investigation together with the non-participant observation amid the first status quo: a session with a poem. And the second status quo: a session with a rap song.

The research aimed at identifying the similarities between these two popular musical manifestations, ressignifying the action of cultural agents responsible for the continuance of such tradition, characterized by spoken singing. Under a cultural perspective, it created a dialogue with the interviewed subjects, in order to clarify both their world vision and the way they organize their social practices. By doing so, it was possible to see the elements which allow the comprehension of artistic and social representations of such groups. / O presente trabalho aborda a importância da tradição oral na contemporaneidade, caracterizada pela perda de referências tradicionais. Analisa o rap e o repente como poéticas orais que representam a cultura popular e traduzem os efeitos da globalização, conseqüência do sistema econômico vigente. Objetivou identificar as semelhanças entre ambos, ressignificando a ação dos agentes culturais responsáveis pela continuidade dessa tradição caracterizada pelo canto falado. A pesquisa realizada, sob o prisma cultural, estabeleceu um diálogo com os sujeitos entrevistados, explicitando a visão de mundo e o modo de organização das práticas sociais destes agentes, o que possibilitou a descoberta de elementos que permitiram a compreensão das representações artísticas, culturais e sociais desses grupos.

Cette thèse est le fruit d’un projet de recherche qui mêle la pratique et la théorie de la traduction. Divisée en deux volumes, elle étudie des questions liées à la traduction de l’argot tel qu’utilisé dans des oeuvres de fiction. Le premier comprend un commentaire critique composé de trois parties, et le second une traduction en anglais du roman Moi non (P. Goujon, Gallimard, 2003). L’intrigue du roman se déroulant en banlieue parisienne, le commentaire explore la façon dont les jeunes adultes marginalisés peuvent s’exprimer par l’emploi de l’argot, une variété linguistique non-standard. Cette variété est souvent représentative d’un lieu précis et d’une identité particulière, participant à un ensemble de formes d’expression qui sert à distinguer la jeunesse marginalisée de groupes dominants. Une telle utilisation de la langue soulève des questions concrètes et abstraites quand on décide de la transcrire et de la traduire dans une oeuvre de fiction. Souvent, le traducteur a recours à l’emploi d’une langue standard ou à l’utilisation d’un argot dit « équivalent ». La traduction proposée de Moi non s’inscrit dans une méthode alternative qui s’inspire d’un style informel ainsi que de procédés créatifs que l’on peut notamment employer dans le rap et dans l’élaboration de nouvelles expressions argotiques. Préférant éviter de situer la traduction dans une aire géographique spécifique, cette traduction invite à explorer les points communs de l’ensemble des parlers jeunes du monde anglophone. Ce projet représente ainsi une opportunité de vérifier la cohérence et la logique de cette démarche alternative de la traduction de l’argot d’un roman, et de la comparer avec l’approche empruntée par les traducteurs de textes similaires. / This thesis is the fruit of a research project which marries translation practice and theory. Separated into two volumes, it explores questions related to the translation of slang in fictional texts. The first volume is a critical commentary composed of three parts, and the second a translation from French into English of the novel Moi non by Patrick Goujon (Gallimard, 2003). Since the plot unfolds in the banlieue of Paris, the critical component investigates the way in which marginalised youth can express themselves through slang, a variety of non-standard language. Often representative of a specific place and identity, slang constitutes one of many forms of expression that contribute to setting marginalised youth apart from dominant groups. Such use of language raises a number of questions, both concrete and abstract in nature, when one decides to transcribe and translate it in a work of fiction. Translators often employ standard language to render this voice in the translated text or otherwise make use of an “equivalent” slang. The proposed translation of Moi non embodies an alternative method inspired by an overall informal style of writing, as well as by the creative devices employed in rap lyrics and in the creation of slang words and expressions. In an effort to avoid suggesting a specific setting outside of the banlieue, this translation seeks to identify and harness features of English shared by young people throughout the Anglosphere. This thesis thus represents an opportunity to ensure the coherence and the logic of this alternative approach to translating slang in an entire novel, and to compare this approach with that adopted by the translators of similar texts.

Uppsatsen ämnar utföra en intersektionell analys av hur kvinnliga rappare diskuterar cunnilingus i sina texter. Utförandet av en intersektionell analys innebär att undersöka, beskriva och tolka någonting utifrån ett sociologiskt perspektiv som tar hänsyn till hur samverkan av olika sociala maktstrukturer skapar förtryck för olika samhällsgrupper. För denna analys innebär det att se på hur cunnilingus diskuteras av kvinnliga rappare i relation till deras kön, klass och etnicitet, för att se hur diskussionen påverkas av dessa sociala faktorer.

Att optimera hålrumshalten i färdig beläggning är essentiellt bland annat för att en vägkonstruktion inte ska få sprickor, spårbildning eller andra deformationer vid temperaturväxlingar  (Monismith, 1992). Eftersom både återvunnen och jungfrulig asfaltmassa består av stenmaterial, bitumen och tillsatsmedel är återvunnen asfalt värd den jungfruliga massans vikt ton för ton vid utbyte i ett arbetsrecept (Brock & Richmonds, 2007). I takt med att asfaltåtervinning blivit vanligare ökar dock komplexiteten, då återvunnet material är betydligt svårare än jungfruligt att karaktärisera (Karlsson & Isacsson, 2006). Eftersom användningen av återvunnet material förväntas öka samtidigt som lite forskning gjorts i ämnet är det därför av vikt att undersöka hålrumshalter vid kalltillsatt asfaltåtervinning. För studien undersöktes asfaltmassan ABT11 160/220 vid kalltillsättning av upp till 25 % asfaltåtervinning. Sex Sigmas problemlösningsmetodik DMAIC, vilket står för ett projektbaserat förhållningssätt i de fem faserna define, measure, analyze, improve och control, användes för att få en djupgående förståelse för hålrumsproblematiken. I metodiken användes i sin tur statistisk processtyrning och försöksplanering för att svara på studiens syfte, vilket var att granska och utvärdera orsakerna till varför hålrumshalter under asfalttillverkning varierar vid tillsättning av kallt asfaltgranulat samt ge rekommendationer för en förbättrad produktion med avseende på hålrumshalt. Efter granskning av historiska data, beräkningar, intervjuer och observationer ansågs de viktigaste orsakerna till hålrumsvariationer uppkomma från de fem källorna datahantering, kommunikation, resurshantering, materialkunskap och organisationskultur, där de två sistnämnda ansågs vara rotorsaker. På grund av examensarbetets avgränsning granskades endast materialkunskapen mer djupgående. För att fördjupa materialkunskapen valdes faktorerna asfaltåtervinning, jungfruligt bitumen, jungfruligt filler samt tillverknings- och instampningstemperatur ut för fortsatta studier genom två experiment. I det första experimentet granskades hur hålrumshalten påverkades av olika instampningstemperaturer genom en OFAT-studie och i det andra experimentet ansattes ett 24-1 faktorförsök enligt Splitplot där hålrummet mättes vid vanlig instampningstemperatur (135 ˚C) samt genom en vägsimulering. Resultatet från det första experimentet uppvisade ett förhållande enligt ett tredjegradspolynom mellan hålrum och instampningstemperatur med stora hålrumsförändringar under 125 ˚C och över 145 ˚C. Detta medför att det är av än större vikt att kontrollera temperaturen för lågtempererad massa och massa med mycket återvinning för att uppnå godkända hålrum vid utläggning. Det andra experimentet visade att även bitumen och återvinning är signifikanta effekter för hålrummet, där minskade bitumenhalter och ökade återvinningshalter medför högre hålrumshalter samt att återvinningshalter över 15 % medför oönskad ökning av hålrumshalter vid utläggning på väg. För att avhjälpa orsakerna till hålrumsvariationerna rekommenderas att data samlas, utvärderas, kommuniceras och följs upp i större utsträckning genom användning av statistisk processtyrning, värdeflödesanalyser och fortsatta materialstudier. Organisationskulturen bör förändras för att skapa en förståelse för vikten av rekommenderade metoder. Kan rekommendationerna följas innebär det en uppskattad ekonomisk besparing på 11 520 000kr/år, samtidigt som det skulle innebära miljömässiga fördelar i form av bland annat ett minskat uttag av ändliga resurser och minskade CO2-utsläpp. / Optimizing void volumes are essential for the serviceability of asphalt concrete pavements, as fatigue cracking, rutting and other permanent deformations can be caused by e.g. temperature changes (Monismith, 1992). Since both reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) and virgin asphalt concrete consist of mineral aggregate, bitumen and additives, RAP is worth the virgin material it replaces ton for ton (Brock & Richmonds, 2007). As the use of RAP becomes more and more popular, the complexity of asphalt manufacturing increases (Karlsson & Isacsson, 2006). This, because the recycled material is harder to characterize than virgin material. Since the usage of RAP is expected to increase in hot-mix asphalt (HMA), while little research has been made in the field of cold feed RAP, it is of great importance to investigate the void volumes with this method. During this study, ABT11 160/220 with the addition of up to 25% cold feed RAP was therefore investigated. Six Sigma’s project improvement methodology DMAIC, acronym for the five phases define, measure, analyze, improve and control, were used to get an in depth understanding for the variations in void volumes. In this method, Statistical Process Control and Design of Experiments were used to answer the research purpose, which was to investigate and evaluate the reasons to why void volumes during asphalt manufacturing varies when adding cold RAP and give recommendations for an improved production regarding void volumes. After an investigation of historic data, calculations, interviews and observations, the most important causes for variations in void volumes came from data collection, communication, resource management, material knowledge and organizational culture, where the last two are seen as root causes. Because of the research delimitations, only the material knowledge was looked into further. To extend the knowledge of the material, the factors RAP, virgin bitumen, virgin filler, manufacturing temperature and temperature for Marshall testing were analyzed through two experiments. In the first experiment, the relationship between void volumes and the temperature for Marshall testing were investigated through an OFAT study, and the second experiment was made through a 24-1 factorial design according to Split plot, in which the void volumes were measured through the normal Marshall testing temperature (135 ˚C) and through a road simulation.  The OFAT result showed that a third degree linear relationship is present between the void volumes and the Marshall testing temperature, with large changes for temperatures lower than 125 ˚C and greater than 145 ˚C. This entails an increased importance of controlling the temperature for warm-mix asphalt (WMA) and asphalt with increased volumes of RAP. The Split plot experiment showed that also bitumen and RAP are significant effects for the void volume, where decreased volumes of bitumen and increased volumes of RAP entails higher void volumes in the pavement. Over 15 % RAP also entails greater void volumes. To decrease the causes for variations in void volumes, the recommendation is to collect, evaluate, communicate and follow up data at a higher extent through implementation of statistical process control, value flow analysis and continued material studies. The organizational culture ought to be changed to create an understanding of the recommended methods. If the recommendations are followed, estimated economic savings of 11 520 000kr/year can be a reality, as well as environmental benefits of e.g. a decreased use of finite resources and reduced CO2 emissions.

[pt] Ensaios sobre o rap e o slam na São Paulo contemporânea analisa algumas das transformações ocorridas no período entre 1997 - ano de lançamento do álbum Sobrevivendo no Inferno, do Racionais MC s - e o momento atual, o ano de 2017, no que diz respeito à palavra cantada na cultura hip-hop em São Paulo. Como essa cena atualmente tem como característica central a sua multiplicidade, esta tese compõe-se por ensaios relativamente independentes sobre diferentes produções artísticas que têm em comum o apreço pelo chamado quinto elemento da cultura hip-hop: o conhecimento, e seus ideais de construção de comunidade e cidadania. Cada uma dessas produções lida com essas questões de forma distinta, às vezes dentro de um circuito independente, outras através da disputa pela ocupação de espaços dentro do circuito tradicional. Os textos estudados aqui - o trabalho do grupo Racionais MC s e dos rappers Criolo, Emicida, Karol Conka e Rico Dalasam, e o Slam Resistência - apontam para a forte interrelação entre poesia e técnica existente no movimento hip-hop paulista. Eles querem ser poiesis, no sentido em que querem produzir não só poesia, mas também vida. O argumento central desta tese é que este processo poético passa pela utilização de novas linguagens e pela criação de novas lógicas e percursos para os sistemas de produção, recepção, curadoria e promoção da arte hoje. / [en] Essays on Rap and Slam Poetry in Contemporary São Paulo aims to analyze some of the transformations that have happened within the hip-hop movement in São Paulo in regards to the realm of the sung word or palavra cantada, namely rap and slam poetry, during the last twenty years - from the release of Racionais MC s Sobrevivendo no Inferno to the present moment. As the contemporary hip-hop scene in São Paulo is defined by its multiplicity, this dissertation is composed by separate essays that discuss and analyze different artistic productions. The respect for the fifth element of hip-hop culture - knowledge and its ideals of community-building, collectivity and citizenship - is what brings these productions together. Each of them deal with these matters differently, sometimes inside an independent circuit, other times fighting to occupy spaces within the mainstream. The works analyzed here, namely the work of rappers Racionais MC s, Criolo, Emicida, Karol Conka and Rico Dalasam as well as the poetry slam Slam Resistência, point to the strong interconnection between poetry and technique in São Paulo s hip-hop culture. These works want to be poiesis, in the sense that they want to produce not only poetry but also life. The thesis presented here is that such a poetic process entails the use of new languages and the creation of new logics and paths for the systems of production, reception, curatorship and promotion of art today.

Tal pesquisa adota o estudo de caso como metodologia qualitativa, a qual leva em consideração os esforços de grupos culturais para inserir a população pobre e negra na vida pública. A história da educação não-formal mostra quão diferentes são os modos de reunir pessoas em torno da arte como movimento social de educação; mostra os esforços do Hip Hop para conectar poesia, música e informação. Discursos e eventos são analisados, a fim de perseguir o problema desta pesquisa. Moradores de bairros economicamente pobres são ouvidos. Entrevistam-se participantes do referido movimento e crianças que freqüentam as aulas de música rap. Ainda como recurso metodológico, este texto descreve não só as ações pedagógicas do grupo Sistema Nervoso Abalado, estudo de caso, mas também os vários instrumentos de educação de grupos que habitam Salvador. Eles ensinam crianças e adolescentes a se manterem afastados de drogas e da criminalidade. Os argumentos de Stuart Hall são imprescindíveis para analisar a dinâmica das construções identitárias e campos ideológicos nas entranhas do movimento Hip Hop. Ademais, os estudos de Maria Glória Ghon acerca de educação e movimento social fornecem a linha teórica que conduz as reflexões sobre educação não-formal. De maneira que os resultados desta pesquisa mostram que a música rap aqui estudada de fato promove educação nãoformal, produzindo não só textos, rimas e músicas, como também valores, esperança, solidariedade, auto-estima e discussão acerca dos problemas sócio-políticos do bairro, da cidade e do país. / Salvador

Pesquisamos o público destes rappers, mais especificamente os jovens da favela Parque das Nações e do bairro Santa Antonieta II, ambos localizados na zona norte de Marília. Selecionamos como temáticas principais para este estudo o modo como os hiphoppers de Marília vivenciam as rivalidades entre eles e como esses jovens concebem a idéia de talento. Narramos como o trabalho de campo aparece como uma experiência onde foram repensadas certas referências como o relativismo e a autoridade do pesquisador. Ressaltamos os discursos de idéias presentes nas letras de rap, sua relação com a musicalidade e o contexto social dos seus produtores. Algumas diferenciações estabelecidas pelos hip-hoppers através de suas opiniões acerca das pessoas dos locais onde moram e, principalmente, de outros hip-hoppers também foram analisadas nesta dissertação. Focamos como o talento pode ser articulado para diferenciar uns jovens dos outros tendo o potencial de desencadear um conflito entre o coletivo e o individual. / The rappers we have studied at this essay live in the suburbs of Marília City. This city is located in the Middle West of São Paulo, Brazil. We have investigated the public of the rappers, especially the young people of the following suburbs: Parque das Nações and Santa Antonieta II, both located in the North of Marília. For this study, we have approached how hip-hoppers experience rivalry and how those young people understand the idea of talent. Thus, we have related how the field research appears as an experience, because some references had to be rethought, like Relativism and the authority of the researcher. We have emphasized speeches that came from the ideas of the lyrics, their relationship with musicality and the social context of their authors. Some differences established by the hip-hoppers of some people of their community and of others hip-hoppers have been analyzed at this essay. We have also approached how talent can be articulated in the process of differing young people from other young people and how talent can distance them of the social uniformity. Moreover we have observed the mechanisms that confer social recognition for the rap artists, because an artist can reach legitimacy if he made songs that speak about economy and if he used his talent to make social changes for their suburbs. However we have also observed how the conflict occurs in the artist life like a gift, in other words, the ambiguity among collective and private.
