Turn on the lights: DJ Dolores’ engaged poetry

Abstract

This study analytically approaches songs linked to the Manguebit Movement, especially the work A casta, by DJ Dolores, and reflects the insertion of these productions in the marginal literature scene. The reading proposal makes efforts to understand the aesthetic and discursive position of DJ Dolores' works in the context of the confrontation between the emerging sensations in the new musical scene and the markers usually mobilized to feel traditional poetic forms. We also consider it relevant to consider, based on Goffman (1975), the idea of stigma and how it relates to the representation of subjects in the narratives expressed through these songs. Parallel to this, we construct interpretations and explore themes arising from such narratives, once again associating these songs with the idea of peripheral literature.
