Resumen
VALERIO, Carlos; LINARES, Alejandra María y DIMAS RINCON, Juan Fernando. The Struggle to Remain...: Expressions of Citizenship in a HipHop Youth Group in Bogotá. rev.estud.soc. [online]. 2011, n.40, pp.101-114. ISSN 0123-885X.
The purpose of this paper is to describe some of the ways in which a group of hiphop youths in Bogotá express their sense of citizenship and some of the ways in which they actively exercise this sense of citizenship. It reports part of the findings of the project, "Conceptions of citizenship in a group of schooled and nonschooled youth in Bogotá." The project was designed around multiple case studies, and pedagogical workshops were used to collect information. Discourse analysis, as proposed by T. van Dijk, was used to analyze the data. The results of the study indicate that this group envisions the exercise of citizenship as a series of aesthetic experiences with a clear political intention, oriented to the improvement of public, economic, and social conditions for the affirmation of hiphop culture. In addition, the results indicate that these expressions are motivated by a moral sense, which prompts the group to denounce social injustice, and the lack of recognition of human dignity and the contributions that their group can make to the building of a more democratic, diverse, and inclusive society.
