  • A Study of the Rap Music Industry in Bogota, Colombia by Laura
    The Art of the Hustle: A Study of the Rap Music Industry in Bogota, Colombia by Laura L. Bunting-Hudson Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2017 © 2017 Laura L. Bunting-Hudson All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT The Art of the Hustle: A Study of the Rap Music Industry in Bogota, Colombia Laura L. Bunting-Hudson How do rap artists in Bogota, Colombia come together to make music? What is the process they take to commodify their culture? Why are some rappers able to become socially mobile in this process, while others are less so? What is technology’s role in all of this? This ethnography explores those questions, as it carefully documents the strategies utilized by various rap groups in Bogota, Colombia to create social mobility, commoditize products and to create a different vision of modernity within the hip-hop community, as an alternative to the ideals set forth by mainstream Colombian society. Resistance Art Poetry (RAP), is said to have originated in the United States but has become a form of international music. In conducting ethnographic research from December of 2012 to October 2014, I was able to discover how rappers organize themselves politically, how they commoditize their products and distribute them to create various types of social mobilities. In this dissertation, I constructed models to typologize rap groups in Bogota, Colombia, which I call polities of rappers to discuss how these groups come together, take shape, make plans and execute them to reach their business goals.

    FACULTAD DE CIENCIAS JURÍDICAS Y SOCIALES DEPARTAMENTO DE CIENCIAS DE LA EDUCACIÓN,LENGUAJES, CULTURA Y ARTES, CIENCIAS HISTÓRICO-JURÍDICAS Y HUMANÍSTICAS Y LENGUAS MODERNAS FILOSOFÍA Y ESTÉTICA DEL CUERPO EN EL CIRCO DESDE LA PERSPECTIVA DEL CONCEPTO DE BIOPODER TESIS DOCTORAL presentada por Jorge Gallego Silva DIRECTOR ProFesor Doctor D. Carlos Roldán López Madrid, Julio de 2015 INFORME DEL DIRECTOR DE LA TESIS. TITULO DE LA TESIS: FILOSOFIA Y ESTETICA DEL CUERPO EN EL CIRCO DESDE LA PERSPECTIVA DEL CONCEPTO DE BIOPODER. La tesis doctoral de D. Jorge Gallego Silva contextualiza adecuadamente el complejo pensamiento de Michel Foucault para desde esta contextualización responder a la vocación fundamental de toda su obra: Ser utilizado como una caja de herramientas. Michel Foucault analizó pormenorizadamente los dispositivos de subjetivación que nos llevaron a ser lo que somos. Con una especial incidencia en los procesos de normalización corporal sobre el conjunto de las poblaciones. La Tesis que aquí se presenta viene a desarrollar la premisa Foucaltiana de la existencia de los llamados espacios heterotópicos, siendo el circo uno de ellos, sin que el pensador francés desarrollará la razón de ello. De una forma coherente y sistematizada, rigurosamente adepta al legado genealógico de Michel Foucault, que es necesario conocer para entender no sólo que se investiga, sino sobre todo como se investiga, la tesis aquí presentada presenta el circo como espacio heterotópico a través de un estudio casuístico de los dispositivos de subjetivación o técnicas del cuidado de sí que los trabajadores circenses aplican sobre sus propios cuerpos. La tesis doctoral que aquí se presenta cumple, a mi juicio, con todos los requisitos de fondo y forma para proceder a su lectura y defensa como el procedimiento otorga.
