  • Code-Switching in the Maintenance of Punjabi in the Lower Mainland
    CODE-SWITCHING IN THE MAINTENANCE OF PUNJABI IN THE LOWER MAINLAND by Jasmine Kaur Sandher A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in The Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies (Asian Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) April 2019 © Jasmine Kaur Sandher, 2019 The following individuals certify that they have read, and recommend to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies for acceptance, the thesis entitled: Code-Switching in the Maintenance of Punjabi in the Lower Mainland submitted by Jasmine Sandher in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts In Asian Studies Examining Committee: Dr. Anne Murphy, Asian Studies Co-supervisor Dr. Ross King, Asian Studies Co-supervisor Sukwant Hundal, Asian Studies Additional Examiner ii Abstract Punjabi language is widely used throughout the Lower Mainland, BC. It is the third most spoken immigrant language after Mandarin and Cantonese. Although Canada’s Official Bilingualism policy promotes English and French as official languages, many accommodations are made for immigrant languages such as Punjabi. As a result, it continues to thrive. Due to the close proximity of the two languages, Punjabi commonly makes use of English through code-switching. The use of code-switching is looked at in this thesis through an analysis of Lower Mainland radio and Bhangra music. The data for this project has been collected through listening to and transcribing radio segments and music lyrics. The data utilized was collected from two programs, Roshni and Punjabi Takeover, which both air on RED FM, a Surrey based Punjabi radio station.

  • Gendering Dance
    religions Article Gendering Dance Anjali Gera Roy Department of Humanities & Social Sciences, Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, Kharagpur 721302, India; [email protected] Received: 27 January 2020; Accepted: 15 April 2020; Published: 18 April 2020 Abstract: Originating as a Punjabi male dance, bhangra, reinvented as a genre of music in the 1980s, reiterated religious, gender, and caste hierarchies at the discursive as well as the performative level. Although the strong feminine presence of trailblazing female DJs like Rani Kaur alias Radical Sista in bhangra parties in the 1990s challenged the gender division in Punjabi cultural production, it was the appearance of Taran Kaur Dhillon alias Hard Kaur on the bhangra rap scene nearly a decade and a half later that constituted the first serious questioning of male monopolist control over the production of Punjabi music. Although a number of talented female Punjabi musicians have made a mark on the bhangra and popular music sphere in the last decade or so, Punjabi sonic production continues to be dominated by male, Jat, Sikh singers and music producers. This paper will examine female bhangra producers’ invasion of the hegemonic male, Sikh, Jat space of bhangra music to argue that these female musicians interrogate bhangra’s generic sexism as well as the gendered segregation of Punjabi dance to appropriate dance as a means of female empowerment by focusing on the music videos of bhangra rapper Hard Kaur. Keywords: hypermasculinity; misogyny; sexism; good girl; bad girl; bhangra; rap; Hard Kaur 1. Introduction “Munde bhangra paunde te kudian giddha paawan [Boys dance to the steps of bhangra and girls to those of giddha],” Sukhbir’s chartbusting bhangra song of the 1990s, provides a glimpse into the segregated space of Punjabi dance with its generic gendered boundaries (Sukhbir 1996).
