  • Spotlight on Social Learning February 2021: Respect Month
    Spotlight on Social Learning February 2021: Respect Month This February we are celebrating Black History Month at Sistema Toronto by exploring our Social Curriculum theme, Respect. In the year that has passed since last February, we have seen the twin pandemics of racism and COVID-19 wreck disproportionate devastation in Black, Indigenous, and racialized communities, and seen the incredible lengths that people will go to do maintain our unjust and unequitable society. The Black Lives Matter protests that surged onto the streets in the aftermath of George Floyd’s murder in May 2020 provoked people all over the world to deepen their commitment to the fight for equality and respect and against racism, and to confront the unjust realities that surround us. For educators, hoping to help our students understand the systemic injustices of the present and the history that brought us to this point, these subjects can be challenging. For musicians, trying to make sense of artistic traditions that were shaped by practices and attitudes we now consider monstrous, it can be scary to confront the past. Classical musicians in particular are beginning to confront the reality that our art form has been deeply affected by white-supremacist ideas that have excluded composers of colour and dismissed their work as less “serious” than that of their white contemporaries. Learning about the harms perpetrated by people, institutions, and ideas that we once admired can be difficult, even painful. But for every statue that must be toppled, every tradition that must be re-examined, there are new ideas to be explored, and new heroes to be celebrated.

    POPULAR MUSIC MAKING IN CANADA AND GREECE GLOBAL MUSIC, LOCAL CULTURE: POPULAR MUSIC MAKING IN CANADA AND GREECE By ATHENA ELAFROS, B.A., M.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School ofGraduate Studies In Partial Fulfilment ofthe Requirements For the Degree Doctor ofPhilosophy McMaster University (c) Copyright by Athena Elafros, January 20 II DOCTOR OF PIDLOSOPHY (20 11) McMaster University (Sociology) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: Global Music, Local Culture: Popular Music Making in Canada and Greece AUTHOR: Athena Elafros, B.A. (University ofToronto), M.A. (Queen's University) SUPERVISOR: Graham Knight COMMITTEE MEMBERS: Tina Fetner Christina Baade NUMBER OF PAGES: vii~ 242 11 Abstract The purpose ofthis dissertation is to better theorize the relationship between cultural production, popular music and cultural identity. While broadly examining popular music, the primary focus ofthis study is on black popular music making and hip hop cultures in Canada and Greece. My dissertation focuses upon three distinct case studies in Toronto, Canada; Athens, Greece; and Vancouver, Canada. Each ofthe three case studies in my dissertation contributes, and offers revisions, to Bourdieusian studies ofcultural production. Whether it is DJs in Toronto trying to assert authorship and legitimate their roles as musicians, an MC in Vancouver trying to conceptualize a new mode ofdiasporic belonging for Greeks ofthe diaspora, or male hip hop practitioners in Athens utilizing their historical knowledge ofthe Greek field of popular music to authenticate their pursuits in rap music, each case study provides a different lens through which to understand how popular music makers use music in their quests for cultural legitimacy, diasporic belonging and/or authentication.

  • "The Cashtro Hop Project" Hip Hop Music and An
    "THE CASHTRO HOP PROJECT" HIP HOP MUSIC AND AN EXPLORATION OF THE CONSTRUCTION OF ARTISTIC SELF-IDENTITY by Christopher Joseph Cachia A Project presented to Ryerson and York Universities in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Program of Communication and Culture Toronto, Ontario, Canada, 2006 © Chris Cachia 2006 DECLARATION I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this project I authorize Ryerson University to lend this project to other institutions or individuals for the purpose of scholarly research. I further authorize Ryerson University to reproduce this project, in total or in part. at the request of other institutions or individuals for the purpose of scholarly research. II ABsTRACT While Hip Hop culture has regularly been legitimized within academia as a social phenomenon worthy of scholarly attention (witness the growing number of studies and disciplines now taking Hip Hop as object for analysis), this is the first Hip Hop-themed project being completed within the academy. Indeed, academic and critical considerations of one's own Hip Hop-based musical production is a novel venture; this project, as a fusion of theory with practice, has thus been undertaken so as to occupy that gap. The paper's specific concern is with how (independent) Hip Hop recording artists work to construct their own selves and identity (as formed primarily through lyrical content); the aim here is to explore Hip Hop music and the construction of artistic self· presentation. I therefore went about the task of creating my own album - my own Hip Hop­ themed musical product - in order to place myself in the unique position to examine it critically as cultural artifact, as well as to write commentary and (self-)analyses concerning various aspects of (my) identity formation.
