Considering the power of intervention and invention of language (ROCHA, 2006, 2014), this paper aims to understand poetry slam as a contemporary speech genre of reexistence (SOUZA, 2011) which echoes the voices of socio historically subordinated subjects - mainly peripheric young blacks - our southern voices. The theoretical-methodological proposal focuses on the discourse analysis of the slam-poem entitled "21st century", by Weslley Jesus (WJ) - a Rio de Janeiro slammer - available on YouTube. The analysis shows resistance positionings against hegemonic discourses that legitimate necropolitics destined to young blacks from the Brazilian peripheries. These voices make use of language as an aesthetic-political-ideological instrument that resists racism and other forms of oppression. The results point out the importance that other studies about slam poetry be carried out in order to further develop the analyses about this contemporary speech genre of reexistence, bringing the voices and demands of subjects who were taken away from knowledge production to the center of debate.
