    The Miseducation of Hip-Hop Dance: Authenticity, and the Commodification of Cultural Identities

    The Miseducation of Hip-Hop dance: Authenticity, and the commodification of cultural identities. E. Moncell Durden., Assistant Professor of Practice University of Southern California Glorya Kaufman School of Dance Introduction Hip-hop dance has become one of the most popular forms of dance expression in the world. The explosion of hip-hop movement and culture in the 1980s provided unprecedented opportunities to inner-city youth to gain a different access to the “American” dream; some companies saw the value in using this new art form to market their products for commercial and consumer growth. This explosion also aided in an early downfall of hip-hop’s first dance form, breaking. The form would rise again a decade later with a vengeance, bringing older breakers out of retirement and pushing new generations to develop the technical acuity to extraordinary levels of artistic corporeal genius. We will begin with hip-hop’s arduous beginnings. Born and raised on the sidewalks and playgrounds of New York’s asphalt jungle, this youthful energy that became known as hip-hop emerged from aspects of cultural expressions that survived political abandonment, economic struggles, environmental turmoil and gang activity. These living conditions can be attributed to high unemployment, exceptionally organized drug distribution, corrupt police departments, a failed fire department response system, and Robert Moses’ building of the Cross-Bronx Expressway, which caused middle and upper-class residents to migrate North. The South Bronx lost 600,000 jobs and displaced more than 5,000 families. Between 1973 and 1977, and more than 30,000 fires were set in the South Bronx, which gave rise to the phrase “The Bronx is Burning.” This marginalized the black and Latino communities and left the youth feeling unrepresented, and hip-hop gave restless inner-city kids a voice.

    Reframing Generated Rhythms and the Metric Matrix As Projections of Higher-Dimensional LaIces in Sco Joplin’S Music *

    Reframing Generated Rhythms and the Metric Matrix as Projections of Higher-Dimensional Laices in Sco Joplin’s Music * Joshua W. Hahn NOTE: The examples for the (text-only) PDF version of this item are available online at: hps://www.mtosmt.org/issues/mto.21.27.2/mto.21.27.2.hahn.php KEYWORDS: meter, rhythm, beat class theory, syncopation, ragtime, poetry, hyperspace, Joplin, Du Bois ABSTRACT: Generated rhythms and the metric matrix can both be modelled by time-domain equivalents to projections of higher-dimensional laices. Sco Joplin’s music is a case study for how these structures can illuminate both musical and philosophical aims. Musically, laice projections show how Joplin creates a sense of multiple beat streams unfolding at once. Philosophically, these structures sonically reinforce a Du Boisian approach to understanding Joplin’s work. Received August 2019 Volume 27, Number 2, June 2021 Copyright © 2021 Society for Music Theory Introduction [1] “Dr. Du Bois, I’ve read and reread your Souls of Black Folk,” writes Julius Monroe Troer, the protagonist of Tyehimba Jess’s 2017 Pulier Prize-winning work of poetry, Olio. “And with this small bundle of voices I hope to repay the debt and become, in some small sense, a fellow traveler along your course” (Jess 2016, 11). Jess’s Julius Monroe Troer is a fictional character inspired by James Monroe Troer (1842–1892), a Black historian who catalogued Black musical accomplishments.(1) In Jess’s narrative, Troer writes to W. E. B. Du Bois to persuade him to help publish composer Sco Joplin’s life story.
  • Ragtime and the Music Oj Charles Ives Judith Tick

    Ragtime and the Music Oj Charles Ives Judith Tick

    Ragtime and the Music oj Charles Ives Judith Tick If ragtime were called tempo di raga ... it might win honors more speedily .... But neither the reproach of "reminiscence" nor the equal odium of "innovation" has ever succeeded against a vital musical idea. I feel safe in predicting that ragtime has come to stay .... It will find its way gradually into the works of some great genius and will thereafter be canonized. Rupert Hughes Musical Record, 1 April 1899 That great borrower from American vernacular culture, Charles Ives, utilized all kinds of music in his own compositions-minstrel tunes, revival hymns, and popular songs. One vernacular style that he particularly exploited was ragtime, a music popular from 1895 to 1920. Indeed, rag rhythms, along with hymn tunes and marches, are among the most commonly quoted material in his music. The hallmark of Ives's ragtime style is his use of off-beat accents and complex syncopation. According to Cowell this "category of rhythm ... [was] of especial fascination to Ives .... His humorous movements, which occur in almost all the larger works, are full of such irregular off-beat stresses."l "Humorous works" no doubt refers to the scherzos in the Piano Sonata No. 1 or to "In the Inn" from the Set of Pieces for Theater or Chamber Orchestra. These works are directly related to Ives's ragtime style. Despite its sustained presence in I ves's music, ragtime has received little critical attention as a discrete factor in the development of his rhythmic vocabulary. Most often writers attribute his use of syncopation to the in- fluence of jazz,2 which postdates ragtime and much of Ives's music.
