  • From Printed Page to Live Hip Hop: American Poetry and Politics Into the 21St Century
    FROM PRINTED PAGE TO LIVE HIP HOP: AMERICAN POETRY AND POLITICS INTO THE 21ST CENTURY Michael Dowdy A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of English in the Department of English. Chapel Hill 2006 Approved by Advisor: Linda Wagner-Martin Reader: Maria DeGuzmán Reader: Nick Halpern Reader: Trudier Harris Reader: John McGowan © 2005 Michael Dowdy ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT MICHAEL DOWDY: From Printed Page to Live Hip Hop: American Poetry and Politics into the 21st Century (Under the direction of Linda Wagner-Martin) This project identifies and explains the major rhetorical strategies American poets from Vietnam to the present use to create political poems. It argues that there are many different, though overlapping, approaches to making sociopolitically engaged poetry. Understanding political poetry as a collection of multiple rhetorical strategies moves away from identity- based and subject-based criticism. This project thus considers a number of representative poems from each strategy in order to illuminate each strategy’s intricacies. Further, the contention that hip hop has the most political potential of contemporary poetries suggests convergences with strategies for making printed poetry political. The framework for understanding both hip hop and printed poetry is derived from theories of agency that negotiate the individual’s ability to act according to her purposes in relation to the determining economic, political, and social forces that constrain action. The strategies considered thus emerge from various types of poetic agency: embodied agency, including both experiential and authoritative agency; equivocal agency, including comprehensive and particular varieties; migratory agency; and contestatory urban agency, which includes strategies indigenous to hip hop.

  • ENC 1101 Summer Reading – Mosley H.S. – 2020
    ENC 1101 Summer Reading – Mosley H.S. – 2020 Every semester ENC 1101 students are asked to research and investigate an important topic or issue. Students will choose an issue from one of six thematic areas – Crime and Punishment, Education and Work, Family and Society, Health, The Political Sphere, and Science and Technology. It is hoped that students will choose an area of interest that they truly want to learn about. This year’s summer reading project asks you to read at least one of the suggested titles on the attached list of thematic readings. It is hoped that this reading will help provide you with a firm grounding in an issue or topic that you care about and want to learn more about. This is also an opportunity for you to secure your first source for the research paper you will write during the semester. When classes resume in the fall you will be expected to bring in the following: • A brief, informal outline of each division of your chosen text (bulleted lists can work well here), being sure to note all key and supporting points. (Be sure to note page numbers for any facts, details, or points you might later reference) • A list of important quotes, with commentary, that will not only help to show the facts, but that will also allow you to share a feel for the tone and tenor of your chosen work and its author. (Ten or twenty is a good goal) • A proposal for a possible research question that you will plan to investigate throughout the semester Your outline, quotes and commentary, and research question will be due at the end of the first week of school – Friday, August 14th.
