A Poetics of the Neighborhood: Alcolirykoz's Aranjuez

Abstract

This article aims to enrich the critical vision of Aranjuez (2021), by the rap group Alcolirykoz, considering that their work, understood as a literary commitment that combines the written and oral record, analyzes the view of the Aranjuez neighborhood. Methodologically we will outline a procedure used by popular poetry to establish relationships of contrast and tension with the music/culture industry. We will then focus on the role of language and its collective effects. We conclude by detailing the poetics of the group and its sociocultural repercussions.
