  • Williams, Hipness, Hybridity, and Neo-Bohemian Hip-Hop
    HIPNESS, HYBRIDITY, AND “NEO-BOHEMIAN” HIP-HOP: RETHINKING EXISTENCE IN THE AFRICAN DIASPORA A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Maxwell Lewis Williams August 2020 © 2020 Maxwell Lewis Williams HIPNESS, HYBRIDITY, AND “NEO-BOHEMIAN” HIP-HOP: RETHINKING EXISTENCE IN THE AFRICAN DIASPORA Maxwell Lewis Williams Cornell University 2020 This dissertation theorizes a contemporary hip-hop genre that I call “neo-bohemian,” typified by rapper Kendrick Lamar and his collective, Black Hippy. I argue that, by reclaiming the origins of hipness as a set of hybridizing Black cultural responses to the experience of modernity, neo- bohemian rappers imagine and live out liberating ways of being beyond the West’s objectification and dehumanization of Blackness. In turn, I situate neo-bohemian hip-hop within a history of Black musical expression in the United States, Senegal, Mali, and South Africa to locate an “aesthetics of existence” in the African diaspora. By centering this aesthetics as a unifying component of these musical practices, I challenge top-down models of essential diasporic interconnection. Instead, I present diaspora as emerging primarily through comparable responses to experiences of paradigmatic racial violence, through which to imagine radical alternatives to our anti-Black global society. Overall, by rethinking the heuristic value of hipness as a musical and lived Black aesthetic, the project develops an innovative method for connecting the aesthetic and the social in music studies and Black studies, while offering original historical and musicological insights into Black metaphysics and studies of the African diaspora.

  • Neuronal Dynamics of Grapheme-Color Synesthesia A
    Neuronal Dynamics of Grapheme-Color Synesthesia A Thesis Presented to The Interdivisional Committee for Biology and Psychology Reed College In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Bachelor of Arts Christian Joseph Graulty May 2015 Approved for the Committee (Biology & Psychology) Enriqueta Canseco-Gonzalez Preface This is an ad hoc Biology-Psychology thesis, and consequently the introduction incorporates concepts from both disciplines. It also provides a considerable amount of information on the phenomenon of synesthesia in general. For the reader who would like to focus specifically on the experimental section of this document, I include a “Background Summary” section that should allow anyone to understand the study without needing to read the full introduction. Rather, if you start at section 1.4, findings from previous studies and the overall aim of this research should be fairly straightforward. I do not have synesthesia myself, but I have always been interested in it. Sensory systems are the only portals through which our conscious selves can gain information about the external world. But more and more, neuroscience research shows that our senses are unreliable narrators, merely secondary sources providing us with pre- processed results as opposed to completely raw data. This is a very good thing. It makes our sensory systems more efficient for survival- fast processing is what saves you from being run over or eaten every day. But the minor cost of this efficient processing is that we are doomed to a life of visual illusions and existential crises in which we wonder whether we’re all in The Matrix, or everything is just a dream.

As can be judged from the available literature, most of these experimentsstill remain 'blank spaces' for Westernreaders. This article testifies to the existence of long-standingtraditions that have inspiredthe Soviet school of music-kinetic art and have contributedto its original features. Perhaps the results have not always been as successful or as extensive as one would want them to be, but the prospects for future developments look promising, if only on the basis of the theoretical foundationsthat were laid in Russia itself in the beginningof this century.To provide a context for his discussionof music-kinetic art consideredin this review,the authorhas included an article (see Appendix)in which he examines the history of the idea of 'seeing music' in Russia in previous centuries.
