Abstract

This work develops a reflection about some recent figures of the cultural brazilian modernity to remark the formative sense that the aesthetic experience can assume on education. Specifically, it discusses the form of Brazilian song on two of its singulars expressions: the Tom Zé\'s tropicalism and the Racionais MC\'s aggressive rap. Through different means, both artists narrate an aesthetics experience of São Paulo city by exploring the song as narrative form. The research pictures critical moments of modern city development and, at the same time, reflects about different aesthetics experience as a formative experience. For this, the theoretical references are an intersection of three reflection\'s fields: sociology of culture, philosophy of education and esthetics critics. Considering, among others, reflections from Walter Benjamin, Theodor Adorno, Jean Baudrillard and Edgar Morin, the work discusses the relationship between song and consumption culture. Among others references, from the semiotics of song of Luiz Tatit and the Roland Barthes\'s concept of listening, it proceeds an analytical interpretation of Tom Zé\'s and Racionais MC\'s aesthetics projects and compositions. Considering, among others, Henri Lefebvre\'s and Zigmunt Bauman\'s analysis about contemporary society and De Certeau proposition\'s about the impact of mass culture on education, it discusses the sense of schooling in face of critical importance that artistic languages from media assumes, from the middle of XX century upwards, on the sociability and on cultural manifestations of the young. At last, from the Foucault\'s discussion about the concept of enlightenment, the work affirms the centrality of aesthetics experience as a possibility to create conditions to educate critical, emancipated and autonomous subject. The research results conclude into a problematization of the meaning of education, schooling culture and the idea of \"formation\" (cultural background) from the remarkable cultural signification of song in Brazil.
