    POPULAR MUSIC MAKING IN CANADA AND GREECE GLOBAL MUSIC, LOCAL CULTURE: POPULAR MUSIC MAKING IN CANADA AND GREECE By ATHENA ELAFROS, B.A., M.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School ofGraduate Studies In Partial Fulfilment ofthe Requirements For the Degree Doctor ofPhilosophy McMaster University (c) Copyright by Athena Elafros, January 20 II DOCTOR OF PIDLOSOPHY (20 11) McMaster University (Sociology) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: Global Music, Local Culture: Popular Music Making in Canada and Greece AUTHOR: Athena Elafros, B.A. (University ofToronto), M.A. (Queen's University) SUPERVISOR: Graham Knight COMMITTEE MEMBERS: Tina Fetner Christina Baade NUMBER OF PAGES: vii~ 242 11 Abstract The purpose ofthis dissertation is to better theorize the relationship between cultural production, popular music and cultural identity. While broadly examining popular music, the primary focus ofthis study is on black popular music making and hip hop cultures in Canada and Greece. My dissertation focuses upon three distinct case studies in Toronto, Canada; Athens, Greece; and Vancouver, Canada. Each ofthe three case studies in my dissertation contributes, and offers revisions, to Bourdieusian studies ofcultural production. Whether it is DJs in Toronto trying to assert authorship and legitimate their roles as musicians, an MC in Vancouver trying to conceptualize a new mode ofdiasporic belonging for Greeks ofthe diaspora, or male hip hop practitioners in Athens utilizing their historical knowledge ofthe Greek field of popular music to authenticate their pursuits in rap music, each case study provides a different lens through which to understand how popular music makers use music in their quests for cultural legitimacy, diasporic belonging and/or authentication.

  • The Effects of Hip-Hop and Rap on Young Women in Academia
    The Effects of Hip-Hop and Rap on Young Women in Academia by Sandra C Zichermann A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Education Sociology in Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto © Copyright by Sandra C Zichermann 2013 The Effects of Hip-Hop and Rap on Young Women in Academia Sandra C Zichermann Doctor of Education Sociology in Education University of Toronto 2013 Abstract This thesis investigates the rise of the cultures and music of hip-hop and rap in the West and its effects on its female listeners and fans, especially those in academia. The thesis consists of two parts. First I conducted a content analysis of 95 lyrics from the book, Hip-Hop & Rap: Complete Lyrics for 175 Songs (Spence, 2003). The songs I analyzed were performed by male artists whose lyrics repeated misogynist and sexist messages. Second, I conducted a focus group with young female university students who self-identify as fans of hip-hop and/or rap music. In consultation with my former thesis supervisor, I selected women enrolled in interdisciplinary programmes focused on gender and race because they are equipped with an academic understanding of the potential damage or negative effects of anti-female or negative political messaging in popular music. My study suggests that the impact of hip-hop and rap music on young women is both positive and negative, creating an overarching feeling of complexity for some young female listeners who enjoy music that is infused with some lyrical messages they revile.

  • Sonic Modernities of Our Present By
    Remixing Relationality: ‘Other/ed’ Sonic Modernities of our Present by Mark V. Campbell A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Sociology and Equity Studies Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto © Copyright by Mark V. Campbell 2010 Remixing Relationality: ‘Other/ed’ Sonic Modernities of our Present Doctor of Philosophy 2010 Mark V. Campbell Sociology and Equity Studies University of Toronto Abstract Far from simply playing music, the turntable has, in recent decades, been transformed into a musical instrument. Those that play these new instruments, called Turntablists, alter existing sounds to produce new sonic arrangements, exceeding the assumed use value of the turntable. The turntable’s transformation from record player to instrument captures one of the ways in which Afrosonic sound making activities refuse to conform to existing paradigms of music making in the western world. Throughout the African diaspora, it has been the musics from various regions and nations that continually capture the attention of the world’s music connoisseurs. This dissertation examines the ways in which careful consideration of the sonic innovations in Afrodiasporic cultures produce alternative paradigms through which we might analyze contemporary life. The following chapters interrogate turntablism, remix culture and hip hop music as subtexts that elaborate a foundational narrative of Afrodiasporic life. These subtexts are used as tools to examine the various ethnoscapes of Black Canadian life, official multiculturalism and notions of home within the African diaspora in Canada. The dominant narrative of the African diaspora explored in this work, housed within the sonic, elaborates a relational conception of freedom and modernity born out of the ii particularities of Afrodiasporic life in the west.

    Southern Journal of Canadian Studies, Vol. 5, No. 1-2 (December 2012), 46-65 “Other/ed” Kinds of Blackness: An Afrodiasporic Versioning of Black Canada Mark V. Campbell University of Guelph Dr. Mark V. Campbell, Postdoctoral Fellow, University of Guelph [email protected] Abstract: For centuries Canada has been home to several overlapping diasporas parCally consisCng of African Americans refugees, exiled Maroons, Black Loyalists, and many others migrant groups from various African diasporas. Accordingly, the possibility of ‘a’ Black Canadian idenCty remains illusive, due in part to conCnual influxes of members of the African diaspora into Canada. The rigidity of a single unifying idenCty and the seemingly porous nature of naonal boundaries urges us to move towards a conceptual shiL that refuses to seek a unifying discursive idenCty posiCon. Importantly, black idenCty poliCcs in Canada have benefited from the rise of ConCnental African voices in Canadian hip hop music. One of the goals of this paper is to expand the conceptual terrain of overlapping African diasporas illuminated by ConCnental African hip hoppers in Canada. Thus, both the lyrical innovaons and geopoliCcal orientaons of arCsts like Shad and K’Naan highlight the overlapping nature African diasporas in Canada, opening new ways to think more expansively about Black Canadian idenCty as Afrodiasporic idenCty. Importantly, the main contribuCon of this paper is to mobilize versioning as a conceptual tool that remixes our contemporary noCons of Black Canada to highlight some of the ways in which we might trouble (or update) blackness in Canada, parCcularly paying aenCon to the kinds of idenCty intervenCons made possible by newcomer East African populaons within Canada’s diaspora space.

    "THE CASHTRO HOP PROJECT" HIP HOP MUSIC AND AN EXPLORATION OF THE CONSTRUCTION OF ARTISTIC SELF-IDENTITY by Christopher Joseph Cachia A Project presented to Ryerson and York Universities in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Program of Communication and Culture Toronto, Ontario, Canada, 2006 © Chris Cachia 2006 DECLARATION I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this project I authorize Ryerson University to lend this project to other institutions or individuals for the purpose of scholarly research. I further authorize Ryerson University to reproduce this project, in total or in part. at the request of other institutions or individuals for the purpose of scholarly research. II ABsTRACT While Hip Hop culture has regularly been legitimized within academia as a social phenomenon worthy of scholarly attention (witness the growing number of studies and disciplines now taking Hip Hop as object for analysis), this is the first Hip Hop-themed project being completed within the academy. Indeed, academic and critical considerations of one's own Hip Hop-based musical production is a novel venture; this project, as a fusion of theory with practice, has thus been undertaken so as to occupy that gap. The paper's specific concern is with how (independent) Hip Hop recording artists work to construct their own selves and identity (as formed primarily through lyrical content); the aim here is to explore Hip Hop music and the construction of artistic self· presentation. I therefore went about the task of creating my own album - my own Hip Hop­ themed musical product - in order to place myself in the unique position to examine it critically as cultural artifact, as well as to write commentary and (self-)analyses concerning various aspects of (my) identity formation.
