    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Repository@Napier An autoethnography of Scottish hip-hop: identity, locality, outsiderdom and social commentary Dave Hook A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Edinburgh Napier University, for the award of Doctor of Philosophy June 2018 Declaration This critical appraisal is the result of my own work and includes nothing that is the outcome of work done in collaboration except where specifically indicated in the text. It has not been previously submitted, in part or whole, to any university or institution for any degree, diploma, or other qualification. Signed:_________________________________________________________ Date:______5th June 2018 ________________________________________ Dave Hook BA PGCert FHEA Edinburgh i Abstract The published works that form the basis of this PhD are a selection of hip-hop songs written over a period of six years between 2010 and 2015. The lyrics for these pieces are all written by the author and performed with hip-hop group Stanley Odd. The songs have been recorded and commercially released by a number of independent record labels (Circular Records, Handsome Tramp Records and A Modern Way Recordings) with worldwide digital distribution licensed to Fine Tunes, and physical sales through Proper Music Distribution. Considering the poetics of Scottish hip-hop, the accompanying critical reflection is an autoethnographic study, focused on rap lyricism, identity and performance. The significance of the writing lies in how the pieces collectively explore notions of identity, ‘outsiderdom’, politics and society in a Scottish context. Further to this, the pieces are noteworthy in their interpretation of US hip-hop frameworks and structures, adapted and reworked through Scottish culture, dialect and perspective.

One day during my long recovery, a friend of mine brought me a book. It was The Dharma Bums by Jack Kerouac. When I finally got better we talked about it, and for the first time I heard about the Beats. Back then my friend had a hard time defining who they were and my understanding did not come that evening – it came gradually through frequenting Wirströms, the wonderful jazz bar where the musicians made „IT‟ happen every week during the Tuesday jam session, through a lot of walking and talking in the everchanging everlasting woods, through travelling by myself, with my backpack as my only companion. Gradually it came - till the day the friend who had given me the book sent me a letter.

One of their most unfortunate common traits was their lack of acceptance by the literary establishment. Both of them had unfair one-dimensional reputations which largely have remained intact, years after their deaths. For example, Miller was always seen as a writer of "dirty books," his early master­ pieces such as Tropic of Cancer being regarded by many as little more than the literary equivalent of a raunchy stag film. Kerouac was viewed by many critics, and much of the pUblic, as nothing more than a hard-drinking, hell-raising hoodlum transcribing the "hep" aphorisms of his "beatnik" friends.

  • On the Borderline of Expectation and Desire in Joyce Johnson's
    Archived thesis/research paper/faculty publication from the University of North Carolina at Asheville’s NC DOCKS Institutional Repository: http://libres.uncg.edu/ir/unca/ “Mad to Be Saved”: On the Borderline of Expectation and Desire in Joyce Johnson’s Come and Join the Dance Senior Paper Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For a Degree Bachelor of Arts with A Major in Literature at The University of North Carolina at Asheville Spring 2016 By Jessica Nicole Pringle ____________________ Thesis Director Dr. Evan Gurney ____________________ Thesis Advisor Dr. Lori Horvitz Pringle 1 The year is 1955 in America the Great. Dwight Eisenhower is president, the Battle of Dienbienphu is underway, and Allen Ginsberg is reading his first draft of “Howl” at the Gallery Six. The Seven Year Itch has hit the big screen, women are stationed in their houses, and the economy has been struck by a momentous deflation. Vagabonds are scouring the states, their right thumbs in the air, while the abomunists1 perform their 9-5’s in the center of an emergent poetic riff-raff. The 1950s was jazz, was finger-snapping stanzas; it was the year of the creative delinquent. The 1950s was The Beat Generation, and a fraction of that beat feeling can be attributed to 1950’s America being wrought with strict stereotypical roles for men and women, which produced alarming consequences. To give context, men were oftentimes the ‘breadwinners,’ and were afforded the opportunities to establish careers, to explore the world in a multitude of ways, and to realize the capacity of their talents and traits, all which worked together in cultivating a sense of identity (Lindsey 17).

Analyzing these eras in tandem reveals contrasting historical constructions of American womanhood and how sociocultural trends influenced how the “poetess” constructed herself and her work and illustrates the retrograde nature of women’s rights in the 1950s. Through close reading, digital mapping, and historical background, The Bird that Flew Backwards establishes a new critical perspective by linking the more well-known Modernists with lesser-known women in 1910s Greenwich Village Bohemia.
