  • What Is the Meaning of All This? a Unit on Existential Thought in Literature
    Craig 1 What is The Meaning of All This? A Unit on Existential Thought in Literature By Kevin Craig Dr. Peter Smagorinsky LLED 7408 The University of Georgia Rationale Craig 2 All great deeds and all great thoughts have a ridiculous beginning. -Albert Camus No matter what one’s social, ethnic, or religious status may be, we must all agree that adolescence is one of the more confusing times in life. Between a newly developing sense of personal identity and the inevitable, indecipherable hormonal changes taking place, students of high school age undergo transformations unlike any others they will ever experience. Because they occur as students enter the beginnings of adulthood, these changes may well inform, if not dictate, the rest of students’ lives. It is incumbent on the teachers of adolescents to stimulate young brains and transmit useful material that students may later use, but it is imperative that we help guide students through a time in their lives when they are just discovering their identities. The goal of this unit is not to assign everyone a new, more mature identity; rather, it is to provide students with an appropriate framework through which they may begin forming their own identities and continue to do so long after they graduate. In Bob Fecho’s words, I aim to provide students with “ample opportunities for students to use writing to explore who they are becoming and how they relate to the larger culture around them” (2011). Existentialism is a philosophical movement with many sub-movements, but the main question it asks is “Who am I in relation to the universe?” On existentialism, Raymond C.

  • (2001) 96- 126 Gangsta Misogyny: a Content Analysis of the Portrayals of Violence Against Women in Rap Music, 1987-1993*
    Copyright © 2001 Journal of Criminal Justice and Popular Culture All rights reserved. ISSN 1070-8286 Journal of Criminal Justice and Popular Culture, 8(2) (2001) 96- 126 GANGSTA MISOGYNY: A CONTENT ANALYSIS OF THE PORTRAYALS OF VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN IN RAP MUSIC, 1987-1993* by Edward G. Armstrong Murray State University ABSTRACT Gangsta rap music is often identified with violent and misogynist lyric portrayals. This article presents the results of a content analysis of gangsta rap music's violent and misogynist lyrics. The gangsta rap music domain is specified and the work of thirteen artists as presented in 490 songs is examined. A main finding is that 22% of gangsta rap music songs contain violent and misogynist lyrics. A deconstructive interpretation suggests that gangsta rap music is necessarily understood within a context of patriarchal hegemony. INTRODUCTION Theresa Martinez (1997) argues that rap music is a form of oppositional culture that offers a message of resistance, empowerment, and social critique. But this cogent and lyrical exposition intentionally avoids analysis of explicitly misogynist and sexist lyrics. The present study begins where Martinez leaves off: a content analysis of gangsta rap's lyrics and a classification of its violent and misogynist messages. First, the gangsta rap music domain is specified. Next, the prevalence and seriousness of overt episodes of violent and misogynist lyrics are documented. This involves the identification of attributes and the construction of meaning through the use of crime categories. Finally, a deconstructive interpretation is offered in which gangsta rap music's violent and misogynist lyrics are explicated in terms of the symbolic encoding of gender relationships.

  • Thesis, the Songs of 10 Rappers Were Analyzed
    ABSTRACT Get Rich or Die Tryin’: A Semiotic Approach to the Construct of Wealth in Rap Music Kristine Ann Davis, M.A. Mentor: Sara J. Stone, Ph.D. For the past 30 years, rap music has made its way into the mainstream of America, taking an increasingly prominent place in popular culture, particularly for youth, its main consumers. This thesis looks at wealth through the lens of semiotics, an important component of critical/cultural theory, using a hermeneutical analysis of 11 rap songs, spanning the last decade of rap music to find signification and representation of wealth in the rap song lyrics. The research finds three important themes of wealth - relationship between wealth and the opposite sex, wealth that garners respect from other people, and wealth as a signifier for “living the good life” - and five signifiers of wealth – money, cars, attire, liquor, and bling.

  • 1 Hip Hop and Rap Music Rising up from the Bronx Rap, As We Know It
    1 Hip Hop and Rap Music Rising Up From the Bronx Rap, as we know it today, has changed considerably from when it first originated in the 1970s. What first started out as a subgenre being performed by MCs on the ghetto streets of the Bronx has evolved into a very popular music genre that most people can enjoy to this day. DJ Kool Herc is generally accepted as the man who started it all. It was with his help, and quite a few others, that caused rap and hip hop to grow and develop in its early years. From Rap and Hip Hop Music, I learned almost everything I needed to know about rap. I learned more about the people who originated the genre, how rapping and hip hop eventually grew throughout the 1970s to the early 2000s, and genres that influenced rap. DJ Kool Herc, the man who started it all, was born in Jamaica in 1955 and later moved to the Bronx in 1967 where he began performing as a DJ in block parties that were hosted throughout the community (Rap). Nearly everybody in these block parties grew to love the percussive breaks found in soul, funk, and disco music, so DJ Kool Herc and other DJs began to use them (Rap). However, the percussive breaks in these songs were rather short, so DJs would extend them by using turntables (Rap). Extending the percussive breaks became more and more popular as consumer friendly turntables, drum machines, and samplers were made and more people could afford them. To make the beats and breaks more interesting, DJs would scratch, beat mix, and beat juggle using the turntables to give hip hop a more unique sound (Rap).
