RESUMO

The research aims to think over the women participation in hip hop movement, and to analyze the women social representation built by the movement as well. The proposed analyses are based upon the theoretical grounds on the identity, collective identity and social representations. The data used in this study were gathered through open oriented interviews made with women who participate in the movement (in the cities of Piracicaba and São Paulo), and through the lyrics of rap (an artistic element of the hip hop movement). We understand that the hip hop movement is constituted as a possibility of identification for those women who search for a collective action, whether be directed for feminist demand or be directed for demanding the rights of those who live in social and economical exclusion conditions, using artistic manifestations as a mean/ instrument of reporting and protesting of such conditions. However, the hip hop, by its principal element, the rap music, spreads the traditional social representation related to woman. Therefore, feminine groups begin to question the inferior position to whom it is attributed, and they are claiming other roles and political and cultural visibility.
