Who is this white in funk? – Investigating whitness in Brazilian funk

BIG AREA: Ciências Sociais Aplicadas
AREA: Comunicação
SUMMARY:

Brazilian funk is understood as a genre of black music shared with white artists and fans. Despite funk's entry into the mainstream since the 1990s, funk singer stigma and the criminalization of the musical genre remain and are linked to an intersection of issues: geographic, class, race and gender. As funk is a vector of social, political and aesthetic tensions, I investigate whiteness in performances by white funk artists or who are linked to it at a certain point in their careers, identifying possible disputes and displacements of the musical genre in the ecosystem of connected media. I observe the body as a place of transmission of knowledge from artists such as Anitta, Kevinho, and Adriana Calcanhotto. I understand whiteness as a place of power, an ethnic-racial identity attributed to white people and an analytical device that makes white subjectivity emerge in apparently non-racialized contexts. Resulting in stagings of distance from the funkeiro stigma, observed through Kevinho; of moralizing the ass in funk, in a video by Adriana Calcanhotto; of racial transits and between musical genres when mobilized by the idea of miscegenation triggered by Anitta.
