The film focuses on the journey of a fictionalized R&B Not Black Enough: singing group, The Five Heartbeats, The Cost of a Static View of What It Means to be from the 1960s to the 1990s. During the scene in which the Black for Black Women Performers group discovers a white family on the beach will represent them on their album cover, one of the most poignant lines from the film is delivered by one of The Heartbeats: “Crossover ain’t nothing but a Tia Smith double cross.” Writing 101: ¡La gozadera!

  • Azealia Banks: ‘Chasing Time’, Erotics, and Body Politics
    Popular Music (2018) Volume 37/2. © Cambridge University Press 2018, pp. 157–174 doi:10.1017/S0261143018000053 Azealia Banks: ‘Chasing Time’, erotics, and body politics KAI ARNE HANSEN and STAN HAWKINS Department of Musicology, University of Oslo, Oslo, Norway E-mail: [email protected] and [email protected] Abstract During the 2010s a new generation of queer hip hop artists emerged, providing an opportunity to engage with a set of politics defined by art, fashion, lyrics and music. A leading proponent of this movement was Azealia Banks, the controversial rapper, artist and actress from New York. This study instigates a critical investigation of her performance strategies in the track and video, ‘Chasing Time’ (2014), offering up various perspectives that probe into queer agency. It is suggested that techniques of sonic styling necessitate a consideration of subjectivity alongside genre and style. Employing audiovisual methods of analysis, we reflect on the relationship between gendered subjectivity and modalities of queerness as a means for demonstrating how aesthetics are staged and aligned to advanced techniques of production. It is argued that the phenomenon of eroticised agency, through hyperembodied display, is central to understanding body politics. This article opens a space for problematising issues of black female subjectivity in a genre that is traditionally relegated to the male domain. Introduction1 One might well wonder what time Banks is actually chasing in the exhilarating song, ‘Chasing Time’. What compels her to steer away from ‘straight time’ with such alac- rity? And, how does music eroticise her act? Born in 1991, Azealia Banks hails from Harlem, New York.

  • Iggy Azalea and the Reality Performance
    The New Real: Iggy Azalea and the Reality Performance Tara Morrissey, University of Sydney I’m the first of my kind, / You ain’t seen any? Iggy Azalea, ‘Murda Bizness.’ Hip-hop—as rap music, as music video, as style and aesthetic, and as cultural meme—is a site of simultaneous representation and creation, reflection and revision. The well- worn hip-hop mantra of ‘keeping it real’ simultaneously points to retention (‘keeping,’ maintaining) and the elusive ‘real’ in which the culture has remained invested since its inception in the 1970s. Hip-hop realness should not, however, be confused with realism, but rather understood as a performative gesture. Likewise, the twenty-first century proliferation of the reality television genre celebrates the performance of the hyper-real in a way that deliberately complicates traditional distinctions between fiction and reality. In his manifesto on our contemporary infatuation with ‘reality,’ David Shields argues that ‘realness is not reality, something that can be defined or identified. Reality is what is imposed on you; realness is what you impose back’ (2011: 98). Australian rapper Iggy Azalea, whose positionality as a white female in hip-hop’s problematically black male-centric space immediately troubles her bid for hip-hop authenticity, presents a particularly interesting case for the ways in which twenty-first century performances of the hyper-real in both hip-hop and reality television converge. Although the particularities of what constitutes real-ness or authenticity in the hip-hop context have in the years since the culture’s documented beginnings been subject to a continuous process of revision and redefinition, the ethos of being real and representing PORTAL Journal of Multidisciplinary International Studies, vol.

  • Performing Manchyna: Unmapping Promissory Exaltation, Multicultural
    Performing ManChyna: Unmapping Promissory Exaltation, Multicultural Eugenics, and the New Whiteness (Or, “Call Me Dr. ManChyna”) By Andrew Wei Ling (A.W.) William Lee A thesis submitted to the Graduate Program in Cultural Studies in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada September, 2015 Copyright © Andrew Wei Ling William Lee, 2015 Abstract Creating art and performing as ManChyna collectively function as my entry into an autoethnographic mapping of mobility and space within liberal multiculturalism. I introduce the research creative method of autoethnographic creatography, because creation and performance are my interventions into and tools for analyzing social space. My parody of queer Asian racialization upends liberal multiculturalism’s promise of incorporation, or promissory exaltation (invoking Sunera Thobani’s, “racial exaltation”), which instrumentally disciplines and includes putative model minorities and homonorms alike. Thus, assimilation into a queer liberal multiculturalism is my primary theoretical target. Building on José Muñoz’s idea of disidentification, I introduce the notion of disassimilation as a performative embodiment of critical analysis and theory. How can individuals articulate the current contours of liberal ideology? How can one counter an ever-shifting dominant culture from a ‘minor’ point of view when one crucial aim of the latter’s evasive energy is the incorporation of that minor gaze? And how does the minoritarian subject represent
