Abstract

This work approaches the social and cultural manifestation known as Hip-Hop, a youth and rich urban movement that includes music, dance, poetry, visual arts and social mobilization. The young interviewed for this project were questioned about the idea of consciousness as an unifying element for the other manifestations of Hip-Hop movement. Also, they were asked about the “class consciousness” concept and his relationship with the Hip-Hop. For this matter, we bring a short discussion on the concepts of class, class consciousness, quotidian life, culture and territory. It's our strong believe that this concepts related significantly on the process of understanding this youth movement.
