It is claimed that the way he elaborates his public character is related to the native categories of “jugársela” (“take a risk”) and “estar jugado” (“in a bind”), which are connected with the broader currents of individualization associated with the use of social networks, the spirituality of the New Age, psychologization, and the rapper device itself.

In this way, it establishes a particular relationship between the individual and the collective that allows us to investigate a singular figure of the individual presents in the popular classes of contemporary Argentina, which is different from the type of individualism that is attributed to neoliberal conceptions. Este artículo tiene como objetivo analizar la construcción subjetiva de un rapero de Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires en su obra artística y su vida cotidiana. Se plantea que la forma de elaborar su personaje público se relaciona con las categorías nativas de “jugársela” y “estar jugado”, lo que se conecta a corrientes de individualización más amplias asociadas al uso de las redes sociales, la espiritualidad de la Nueva Era, la psicologización y el propio dispositivo rapero. De esta forma —mediante el análisis de letras de canciones, video clips, posteos en Instagram, situaciones de campo y entrevistas—, se describe cómo Núcleo —el rapero en cuestión— presenta sus “fragilidades” y “fuerzas” enfatizando su activación personal y las relaciones con otros; extiende sus vínculos a las “energías”; se exhibe como alguien apegado a la “cultura hip-hop”; y como una persona responsable ante su familia. De tal modo, establece una particular relación entre lo individual y lo colectivo que permite indagar en una singular figura de individuo presente en las clases populares de la Argentina contemporánea, que se diferencia de un tipo de individualismo que se adjudica a las concepciones neoliberales.

This article aims to analyze the subjective construction of a Buenos Aires rapper, in his artistic work and his daily life. It is claimed that the way he elaborates his public character is related to the native categories of “jugársela” (“take a risk”) and “estar jugado” (“in a bind”), which are connected with the broader currents of individualization associated with the use of social networks, the spirituality of the New Age, psychologization, and the rapper device itself. In this way —through the analysis of song lyrics, video clips, Instagram posts, field situations and interviews— it is shown how Núcleo —the rapper in question— presents his “weaknesses” and “strengths”, emphasizing his personal activation and relationships with others; extends its links to “energies”; exhibits himself as someone attached to “hip-hop culture”; and describes himself as a person responsible for his family. In this way, it establishes a particular relationship between the individual and the collective that allows us to investigate a singular figure of the individual presents in the popular classes of contemporary Argentina, which is different from the type of individualism that is attributed to neoliberal conceptions. |
