In this study, we verified the perception of elementary school students about the representation of women in the Brega-funk scene. From the perspective of Critical Literacy (STREET, 2014) and in the light of Critical Discourse Analysis (FAIRCLOUGH, 2001), we will discuss from the perspective of literacy as a social practice that highlights the social and cultural nature of reading and writing, considering the different spheres of literate practices. The research addresses the social construction of the female image based on concepts such as interactionism (VYGOTSKY, 2000) and intentionality (TOMASELLO, 2003). The linguistic-discursive analyzes start from the historicity of this style of song and its linguistic variety, the different effects of meaning motivated by lexical choices and other verbalization strategies, focusing on critical discourse analysis. The general objective is to analyze the perception of the students of the 8th year of Elementary School from Paulista City about the female representation in Brega-funk songs. The specific objectives are: 1. Tracing the historicity of Brega-funk, considering previous musical styles; 2- Identify linguistic-discursive marks that show the female representation in Brega-funk lyrics; 3. Check how students see the representation of women in Brega-funk before and after a didactic intervention. As methodological aspects, we adopted the inductive approach method; comparative procedure method; research, from the point of view of its nature, is applied; from the approach point of view, it is qualitative and quantitative; from the point of view of objectives, it is exploratory; from the point of view of procedures, it is field research (LAKATOS & MARCONI, 2003). This study is relevant because it seeks not only to discuss the new spaces conquered by contemporary women in society, but also to add new perspectives to Portuguese language teaching, working with a genre that is underestimated by the current elitist education system.
