Resistance on the battlefield: the lives of the marginalized in Capão Pecado

Abstract

 This article proposes a reflection on the life and cultural representation of the marginalized in the work Capão Pecado de Ferréz, as well as the cultural relations that constitute conflicting dialogues.  The main focus is to present how the novel works the resistance of peripheral culture, in a battlefield against the influence of factors external to the community. Therefore, the objective is, in general, to analyze the discourses that develop throughout the work as points of resistance to cultural massification. Specifically; to show how marginal literature has claimed a space in literary production that gives voice to marginalized residents, perceive discursive work in the search for a sociocultural statement, posed as militancy, and to highlight the struggle against social factors that condition the peripheral locality to go through crime. Thus, for the development of the present study, the methodology presented composes an explanatory bibliographic research, in which the postulates Dalcastagné (2007), Tamagnone (2013), Goffman (1985), Fianco (2010), Hall (2006), among others, are used as theoretical assumptions. As results obtained, it was found that the work presents a discursive apparatus that reflects on the conditions that frames the lives of residents of the periphery to an everyday reality in which crime constitutes a cultural product of poverty alongside hip-hop culture, while these localities seek their rights and their uniqueness, on constant struggle the external influences that tends to a process of erasing their subjectivity through cultural alienation.
