Abstract

FERREIRA, Maíra Soares. Rhyme at school, poetry in history. Vínculo [online]. 2011, vol.8, n.1, pp. 10-14. ISSN 1806-2490.

This article is based in a research and intervention with seventh grade students in a classroom at a public school in Sao Paulo. These rhythm and poetry young lovers descend from Afro-Brazilian and Pankararu indian families who came from the countryside of Pernambuco and settled down in Sao Paulo after the 1950s (developmental phase) to work as civil construction workers. We observed that this history wasn't proven integrated to the school culture - the tendency of which seemed to deny the students are Northeastern Afro-Indian descendent. Therefore, the objective of this study was not only to investigate but also to provide the students with ways to dialogue with their recent past by means of their poetic-musical manners.

Keywords : Adolescence; Youth Cultures; Poetic Creation; Prejudice; Ethno-social affirmation.
