“Just Ask Mi 'Bout Brooklyn:” West Indian Identities, Transgeographies, and Livin
“JUST ASK MI ’BOUT BROOKLYN:” WEST INDIAN IDENTITIES, TRANSGEOGRAPHIES, AND LIVING REGGAE CULTURE A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Sabia McCoy-Torres August 2015 © 2015 Sabia McCoy-Torres “JUST ASK MI ’BOUT BROOKLYN:” WEST INDIAN IDENTITIES, TRANSGEOGRAPHIES, AND LIVING REGGAE CULTURE Sabia McCoy-Torres, Ph.D. Cornell University 2015 This ethnography explores the symbiotic relationship between the West Indian Diaspora and performance based, Jamaican originated, reggae culture. The field site was Brooklyn, New York. I analyze the intersections of reggae with racial and cultural identity construction, expressions of gender and sexuality, transnationalism, and place making practices. The formation of a local, West Indian led, reggae related economy is also a subject of focus. In order to theorize the impact West Indians have on Brooklyn and their subjectivities, I develop the concepts transgeographies and figurative citizenship. I argue that the West Indian Diaspora creates transgeographic cultural places that specific sociocultural practices and performance help to form. I offer that performance, action, and material alteration coalesce to physically transform space and imbue it with affect and sensory elements that together constitute links to the various nations of the Caribbean. The West Indian geographies of Brooklyn are thereby brought inside the Caribbean space expanding how geography is conceived of as an analytic. Emergent diasporic subjectivities are formed within these transgeographic cultural places, one of them being what I term figurative citizenship. This work also includes analyses of the relationship of West Indians to U.S. -

Moving Dancehall Off the Island: Female Sexuality and Club Culture in Toronto
Karen Flynn: Moving Dancehall Off the Island: Female Sexuality and Club Culture in Toronto Moving Dancehall Off the Island: Female Sexuality and Club Culture in Toronto Karen Flynn Associate Professor University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, IL, USA Abstract While there has been an exciting growth in scholarship on dancehall culture, primarily in the fields of cultural and literary studies as they relate to Jamaica, more attention needs to be given to its configuration in other geographical locations and other popular culture arenas. This article explores dancehall culture from a geographic site, in Toronto, which, despite its large Caribbean population, is often a mere footnote in larger diasporic studies. Moving beyond the proclivity of viewing dancehall culture and music from a purely patriarchal misogynistic viewpoint, the article focuses on the redemptive and empowering possibilities that this popular Black expressive form holds. It underscores how dancehall culture and music challenge hegemonic scripts predicated on stereotypes of Black women’s sexuality. Despite the contradictions inherent in the music and the performance of female artists such as Lady Saw and Tanya Stephens, dancehall culture evokes women as active agents who are able to articulate their sexual desires. Keywords: sexuality, dancehall music, Black/Caribbean women, dance 183 www.sta.uwi.edu/crgs/index.asp UWI IGDS CRGS Issue 8 ISSN 1995-1108 Dedication This article is dedicated to KaosKrew (especially Philip Cole), Slim & Trim (Michael Banfield and Leslie Corion) DJ’s Quincy, Bobby B, Mark Anthony, Mike Gibbs, Wayne; my brother DJ Extacy (Dwayne Reynolds), Eddie Williams, Andy Coward, the late Michael Charles and Dorian Major (RIP) and the rest of the Tdot promoters. -
A Dub Approach to Defining a Caribbean Literary Identity in the Contemporary Diaspora
ABSTRACT Title of Document: ON THE B-SIDE: A DUB APPROACH TO DEFINING A CARIBBEAN LITERARY IDENTITY IN THE CONTEMPORARY DIASPORA Isis N. Semaj, Doctor of Philosophy, 2013 Directed by: Professor Merle Collins, Department of English Drawing from Jamaica’s socio-politically distinct dub musical genre, “On the B: Side” argues that the literary aesthetics of Caribbean migration and history can be analyzed according to a model of dub. As I define it, the dub aesthetic is marked by erasures, repairs, re-invention, and re-creation. It is thematically and formally captured in migration and represented in the experience of dislocation and home(lessness), memory and the layering of time, political silences and cultural amplification, and the distinct social climate associated with the 21st century push toward celebrating diasporic communities and marking progress through globalization. Given these contemporary circumstances, the Caribbean subject at home locally and at home in the diaspora necessarily demonstrates an acute investment in memory recall and a strong motivation toward building cultural posterity. This dissertation, therefore, explicates how the more recent literature reaches back in new ways that facilitate the survival of a uniquely Caribbean literary identity into the future. This dissertation analyzes works by Ramabai Espinet, Edwidge Danticat, and Anthony Winkler to highlight the ways in which relocation and dislocation intersect for the Caribbean subject. Additionally, I examine works by Marion Patrick Jones and Diana McCaulay, who represent another category of unbelonging and homelessness in the Caribbean that is read in the middle class’s exclusion from national and regional discourse on authenticity. Interrogating the space of Caribbean fiction, the dissertation moves through the deconstruction and reinvention of migration to arrive at the diasporic intersections of erasure, rupture, and repair. -

:::::: Pum Pum Rule Jamaican Dance: An Analytic Response to the Inability to Recognize Female Sovereignty in Dancehall Leslie-Ann Fullerton “All I want to be is a Jamaican Dancehall Queen. If this is not possible, I will be satisfied writing about women in Jamaican dancehall.” - Leslie-Ann Fullerton. Leslie-Ann Fullerton was born and raised in a Christian home in Jamaica. She later became a dedicated lover and participant of Jamaican dancehall as a dancehall “mogela” [model], which played an instrumental role in informing this essay. Leslie-Ann is currently a 4th year student at the University of Toronto pursuing a double major in Caribbean Studies and Political Science. She was the 2012-2013 president and is currently the 2013-2014 Co-President of CARSSU. In reading this essay, Leslie-Ann hopes that the reader takes the advice of Chimamanda Adichie and beware of “The Dangers of Telling a Single Story” about a people and its culture. She implores the reader to look at women in Jamaican dancehall from a positive perspective. Jamaican music has had a close relationship with expressing the island’s various socio-economic and political stages. In Chude- Sokeis’s work, POST-NATIONALIS GEORGRAPHIES: Rasta, Reggae, and Reinventing Africa,1 the author traces Jamaica’s societal changes through music. This includes analyzing the relationship between post-nationalism, Rastafarianism, Dancehall, and women response to these phenomenon. Particularly, the emergence of dancehall introduced a rise African women participating in overt sexual expressions that was considered indecent. In this light, dancehall was rejected by the “ideological underpinnings of the elite culture”2 and their desires to mold nationalism in Jamaica into a replica of European model. -

Dancehall History Script
Lucía Hugener Carroquino I am a student who is going to produce a section of the show of The 8th Note, which is a programme about contemporary music, focusing each programme on one music genre. The show is broadcasted on Sundays at 12:15 am, lasting for 45 minutes. The show is structured in many different sections such as an historical overview of the music genre, interviews, latest news along with debates, music recommendations, and games. I decided to produce the historical overview section because I think it is a very representative part of the programme, since it allows to know in depth a music genre and listen to many different artists. This section is a feature that should be 10 minutes long, but I have made a short representative piece of 4 minutes of how it should sound like. DANCEHALL HISTORY SCRIPT CONTROL STUDIO SFX “Airplane landing” FADE IN “Dancehall beat” Today, we are travelling all the way to Jamaica to learn about the origins and evolution of dancehall. FADE OUT “Dancehall beat” “Audio 1 Documentary” FADE IN “Dancehall beat” Dancehall is named after the Jamaican dance halls were music was played by local sound systems. It started in the ghettos in Kingston in the late 1940s, among people that didn’t have the means to participate in dances uptown. Sound systems were a way of having a community radio. People would set up a system with a record player and speakers and put different recordings. Anyone could go to listen to the music for free. Originally, most of the (the records came from America). -

They are born with it… That is the whole essence why the music has risen up. It’s a music spiritually, telepathically, metaphysically, vibrating in the wind…” From RiseUP an award-winning film by Luciano Blotta “Island Voices Reggae & New Jamaican Music” is proud to be an official product of the 50th Anniversary Celebration & Jubilee 1962 to 2012 50th Anniversary Jamaica: Official Song “On A Mission” by Shaggy & Various Artists You are reading the PDF version of the book.
