Overview

There is a symbolic dispute about belonging to samba. There are authors who say that samba belongs to a certain social sector, defined in terms of class or race, such as Sodré, Matos, Lopes, Araujo, Rodrigues, Magno Siqueira; and others who say that samba has no borders, because it belongs to all Brazilians, such as Guimarães, Vianna, Sandroni, Caldeira. Samba lyrics also contain more or less obvious signs of this dispute. In view of this, in this book we problematize the discourses of the authors mentioned here and the lyrics of the sambas in the DVD collection Samba Social Clube, carrying out an analysis of the discursive relations of samba. We also reflect on some of the specificities of samba. We also examined the tensions and negotiations involved in affirming the origin of samba. Our proposal was to map the discourses of appropriation, verifying how they were constructed and confronting them. It is therefore important reading for students and lovers of samba, Brazilian culture and race studies.
