Dans cette thèse, il est fortement question de hip-hop, mais il est un merveilleux prétexte pour pouvoir parler d’autres choses sur la ville et sur l’ambiance urbaine. Il s’agissait au départ, de s’intéresser au hip-hop, de savoir s’il existait un hip-hop à la Brésilienne et comment s'actualisait le hip-hop à Fortaleza, ville du Nordeste. À partir des premières observations, j’ai pu constater que malgré une visibilité assez faible dans la ville, le travail des organisations du mouvement hip-hop au sein des communautés dites sensibles de Fortaleza est prépondérant. Se dressait alors un paradoxe entre une relative absence du hip-hop dans l’univers sonore de Fortaleza et une « hyper-présence » dans la periferia. Il faut donc comprendre le processus qui a amené le hip-hop à se « marginaliser » au Brésil et problématiser sa territorialisation dans les quartiers. Je montre que le hip-hop à Fortaleza ne s’est pas transposé tel quel dès sa sortie du Bronx. C’est finalement en se détachant des autres expressions urbaines comme le punk et le funk carioca que le hip-hop de Fortaleza s’est forgé en tant que « voie » pour une jeunesse délaissée. Ma thèse plonge le lecteur au cœur des pratiques du « hip-hop organisé », au travers des chroniques, des ateliers d’apprentissage ou des séminaires, qui donnent à voir ce qui caractérise l’action du mouvement hip-hop à Fortaleza. J’explique comment le hip-hop en tant que porte-drapeau d’une jeunesse populaire permet, en partie, par sa politique et son esthétique de sortir des logiques discriminatoires, mais aussi de la rhétorique territoriale qui est à la base de la formation des gangs. J’estime que les pratiques liées au mouvement hip-hop, au lieu de réactiver le stigmate qui pèse sur les populations habitant les quartiers périphériques, permettent à des jeunes de mobiliser un univers de pensée, à la fois proche de leur réalité tout en créant une pratique de la spatialité où la mobilité reste centrale. Cette mobilité est importante dans l’affirmation d’une citoyenneté complète et dans la construction d’une identité qui s’appuie sur son origine « marginale » au lieu de s’en affranchir. / In this research, the main subject is hip-hop but it is a great topic to think about other matters such as the city and the urban context. At the starting point of my thesis, with my interest in hip-hop, discovering if there was a Brazilian version of hip-hop was my main objective, the question point was how it could be actualized in Fortaleza, a city located in the North East of Brazil. From the fieldwork, although I have noticed a limited visibility from its practices in the center town, the hip-hop, as a movement, was incredibly strong in the comunidades located in the suburbs of the city. There was this paradox which is interesting to issue. Thus, we need to understand the process which brought the hip-hop to be « marginalized » and territorialized into the suburbs. I argue the hip-hop does not simply transpose itself in Brazil, as an American expression from the South Bronx to the Brazilian suburbs; I prove the hip-hop constructed itself by an intense competition with other subcultures as punk and funk carioca. This process has led the hip-hop to be the voice of the marginalized suburb’s youth. My thesis is an intense work field in showing the practices of the « hip-hop organizado », by chronicles, seminars, and workshops which allow us to define what are the characteristics of the Fortaleza’s hip-hop. I explain how this music base subculture transformed itself as the voice of the youth from the suburbs, and how it allows, in certain moment and condition, the hip-hopper to avoid a discriminatory path and extract him from a territorial construction which is a common trajectory to the gangs. I think that the hip-hop practices, instead of maintain or reactivate the stigma, allow young people to travel to an another way of live, close to their reality by creating a spatial practice and increasing the mobility, in this way the hip-hopper is able to affirm a complete citizenship by constructing an identity based on his roots from the margins and not against it.

Afrikaans text / The purpose of the research was to investigate the experiences of adolescents who identify with the Emo subculture in a specific high school in the northern suburbs of Cape Town. Qualitative, applied research of an exploring and descriptive nature was conducted. The literature study focused on human development, the concepts contra-culture and subculture, Gestalt development, Gestalt therapy theories and the ecological theory. This served as a framework for the findings, which was based on unstructured interviews with persons who identified with the Emo subculture. Data triangulation was of special interest in this study to ensure reliability and validity, especially in the light of the fact that limited specialised literature is available on the Emo subculture. Various findings are described and recommendations are made for further research. / Die doel van die navorsing was om die belewenisse van adolessente wat met die Emo-subkultuur identifiseer, in ’n spesifieke hoërskool in die noordelike voorstede van Kaapstad te ondersoek. Kwalitatiewe, toegepaste navorsing van verkennende en beskrywende aard is gedoen. Die literatuurstudie het gefokus op menslike ontwikkeling, die konsepte kontrakultuur en subkultuur, Gestalt-ontwikkeling, Gestaltterapie-teorieë en die ekologiese teorie. Dit het as raamwerk vir die bevindinge gedien, wat gegrond is op ongestruktureerde onderhoude met persone wat met die Emo-subkultuur identifiseer. Data-triangulering was van besondere belang in hierdie ondersoek om vertrouenswaardigheid en geldigheid te verseker, veral in die lig daarvan dat daar min vakkundige literatuur oor die Emo-subkultuur beskikbaar is. Verskeie bevindinge word beskryf en aanbevelings word gemaak vir verdere navorsing. / Social Work / M. Diac. (Spelterapie)
