Tyree Howard University 41-46 1 Performance, Dialogue, and Debriefing: Examining Frank Ocean’s Coming Out Amy Arellano Aaron Duncan University of Nebraska-Lincoln Rationale Our teaching activity positions Frank Ocean coming out as a case study to engage students in discussion of heteronormative behavior. Using performance, interactive dialogue, and follow up debriefing, we hope to engage students in active learning by asking them to become the voices of both oppression and empowerment. We have compiled a variety of literature, including responses from the general public and hip-hop community. Materials include: Ocean’s coming out letter via Tumblr, response letters from fellow artists, comments to his twitter account, Hatetweetstofrankocean.com, various news coverage, and parodies from the Onion and Youtube. “Narrative performance gives shape to social relations. a story of the body told through the body makes cultural conflict concrete” (Langellier, 1999). Using this material, we compiled a reader’s theater script for students to perform and a series of discussion questions to be used afterwards to talk about reactions of Ocean’s coming out. By creating spaces in which students can engage in civil rights discourse, instructors can facilitate meaningful dialogues (Orbe, 2004). In this instance dialogue that addresses LGBT rights and homophobia.

Visit www.calhum.org A Blaxican’s Journey through Fresno’s Racial Landscape Raymond A. Rey It Started Here: Jean Vang’s Hip-Hop Journey Roger Espinosa INTRODUCTION Geography is central to hip-hop culture. Academics and artists alike have referenced the importance of physical spaces like “the block”; “the streets”; or “the hood” as incubators for hip-hop culture. It is in these intimate spaces that working class youth of color sift through the rubble of post- industrial neglect and repurpose it into new forms of visual art, music, and dance. Nearly fifty years after hip-hop’s emergence into the public imagination, these narratives of place have been mapped onto a distinct hip-hop cartography fixated on nostalgic references to “the Bronx”; “Compton”; and “Oakland.” Cities like Fresno are rarely included in this hip-hop cartography largely because they exist outside of institutional networks like university archives, cultural philanthropy, and the music industry.

  • A Comparative Analysis of the Black Arts Movement and the Hip Hop Movement
    Black Social Movements Past and Present: A Comparative Analysis of the Black Arts Movement and the Hip Hop Movement by J. Vern Cromartie, Ed.D. [email protected] Professor of Sociology, Chair, Sociology Department Contra Costa College, San Pablo, California Abstract This paper focuses on Black social movements past and present with special reference to the Black Arts Movement and the Hip Hop Movement. It examines the Black Arts Movement as a social movement that emerged during the mid-1960s and lasted until the mid-1970s. It also examines the Hip Hop Movement as a social movement that emerged during the early 1970s and has lasted to the present. This paper presents a comparative analysis of both social movements and identifies their goals, ideologies, organization and status systems, and tactics. The comparative analysis also includes an examination of both movements’ internal development in the form of the incipient phase, organizational phase, and stable phase. Likewise, the comparative analysis includes an examination of both movements’ external development in the form of innovation, selection, and integration. In addition, this paper addresses some implications of the Black Arts Movement and the Hip Hop Movement as social movements. In this study, a mixed methods approach has been employed, including the case study, participant observation, and a qualitative survey. The research techniques include direct observation, interviews with people involved in the two movements, and content analysis of primary and secondary source documents. Keywords: Black Arts Movement, Hip Hop Movement, social movement, race, culture. 77 Africology: The Journal of Pan African Studies, vol.11, no.6, April 2018 Introduction During the 20th century in the United States of America (USA), Black people developed a host of social movements to address social problems they faced.
