By supporting local hip hop practitioners, such as dancers, mus…

Tom Ze's Fabrication Defect and the “Esthetics of Plagiarism”
Em seu CD lançado em 1998, Com Defeito de Fabricação, o cantor e compositor Tom Zé articula os discursos da pós-modernidade e do pós-colonialismo. Mais do que simplesmente tocar em vários aspectos “pós”’, Zé elabora a partir deles um manifesto atualizado, tomando como premissa o “Manifesto Antropófago” de Oswald de Andrade, de 1928. O ex-músico da Tropicália propõe uma “Estética do Plágio” como forma de apropriação e posterior reformulação dos pr…
