O rap indígena dos Brô Mc’s: a construção argumentativa da polêmica

Abstract

In the face ofan example of the controversial argumentative modality (AMOSSY, 2017), and usingthe argumentation perspective in the interactioncontext(PLANTIN, 2008, 2011; GRÁCIO, 2013),by means ofa qualitative research, we show the disqualifications of the opposing thesis and the person or group that represents the Opponent, as well as verbal impoliteness, materialized in swearing, irony and threatsfunctionalities (KERBRAT-ORECCHIONI, 2006; GRAHAM and HARDAKEKER, 2017; DECLERCQ, 2003). Therefore, we analyzea comment and responses, posted on theYoutube, which dialogue with the speeches and semiotic resources circulating in the videoclipe Eju Orendive, bythe indigenous rap groupBrô MC's. From these excerpts, we realize that, on the one hand, those who stand against the demarcation of indigenous lands, guarding racism and, on the other hand, those who defend the rights of indigenous peoples focus on a polarized and violent debate aimed at for an agreement, but, with the intention of provoking the adhesion of an audience, according to the dialogical perspective of the argumentation (PLANTIN, 2016).
