Description
Summary:In this article, starting from the dispute around the guardianship of childhood and adolescence, I trace a historical summary to comprehend two main points: a) how the term “minor” came to be, and; b) how rap artists from São Paulo brought the theme for debate through their artistic performances, in the eve of the creation and introduction of the Child and Adolescent Statute (ECA in Portuguese), and just after it, in the 1990’s. It is worth noting that the term “minor” was a label made by intellectuals, but it has a classificatory strength and became natural in the vocabulary of a part of the civil society, attached with a very pejorative charge.
