Culturally Me Culturally MeBy Liana Hill By Liana Hill The language we speak is Spanish. Spanish is derived from a dialect of spoken Latin and was brought to the Iberian Peninsula. Some of the most commonly eaten food in Puerto Rico is Tostones, Mofongo, Alcapurrias, Arroz Con Gandules, Pasteles.

Puerto Rican mainstream acceptance of reggaeton has grown and the genre has become part of popular culture, including a 2006 Pepsi commercial with Daddy Yankee and PepsiCo's choice of Ivy Queen as musical spokesperson for Mountain Dew. Some famous People are Luis Fonsi, Ozuna, Daddy Yankee, Bad Bunny Roberto Clemente, Don Omar, and Luis Guzman Famous Artists • Puerto Rican artists who are represented include José Campeche (1751- 1809) and Francisco Oller (1833-1917).

A kind of tailored shirt for men, it has patch pockets on the front and is usually worn over an undershirt. The fit is tailored but loose, to be worn over trousers. This is the culture ( that I know of ) of Puerto Rico! I hope you liked it! .

¿Fiera Salvaje O Flan De Coco? — Un Estudio Sobre La Construcción Metafórica De Género En Letras De Reguetón Común Y Feminista
Lund University, Centre for Languages and Literature Johanna Hagner (2019) Master’s Thesis, 15 credits Master of Arts in Language and Linguistics ¿Fiera salvaje o flan de coco? — un estudio sobre la construcción metafórica de género en letras de reguetón común y feminista A Wild Beast or a Sweet Dessert? — a study on metaphorical construction of gender in mainstream and feminist reggaeton lyrics Supervisor: Carlos Henderson Examinator: Jordan Zlatev Resumen La presente investigación examina el papel de la metáfora dentro de la construcción de femineidad, masculinidad y sexualidad en las letras del género musical reguetón. Basándose en un corpus representativo del contenido lírico de, por una parte, el reguetón común y, por otra parte, la corriente de reguetón feminista, el estudio toma una perspectiva interdisciplinaria combinando la lingüística cognitiva, el Análisis Crítico del Discurso y la perspectiva de género en su análisis. La tesis arguye que las metáforas animales y las metáforas gastronómicas desempeñan un papel significativo en la transmisión de ideas de género en las letras investigadas. Se sostiene que en el reguetón común, estas metáforas tienden a tener un enfoque en la mujer y en el aspecto físico y seductivo de la femineidad. El reguetón feminista, por su parte, se caracteriza por más variedad en sus conceptualizaciones. En este grupo de material, la interacción seductiva también juega un rol importante; no obstante, el autorretrato femenino y la resistencia a las normas heterosexuales y patriarcales llevan un enfoque mayor. Asimismo, se destaca que en la construcción metafórica del amor homosexual entre mujeres, el reguetón feminista tiende a tener más similitudes con la conceptualización del reguetón común.

1 Reggaetón: Pleasure, Perreo, and Puerto Rico an Accumulation Of
1 Reggaetón: Pleasure, Perreo, and Puerto Rico An accumulation of American hip hop, Latin American culture, and Caribbean style, reggaetón is a modern music style combining rapping and singing that arose in 1990s Puerto Rico. In a purgatory between a medium that externalizes misogynistic perceptions of women and a medium in which women can experience power through the reinvention of their sexuality, reggaetón’s identity is a topic of controversy in Puerto Rican popular culture today. The first perspective views reggaetón as a medium that sexually oppresses women through its lyrics and associated dance styles, contributing to Puerto Rico’s preexisting misogynistic culture. Direct lyrics from male reggaetón artists as well as academic articles, will provide a direct lens into the impact of the sexist nature of reggaetón. The second perspective considers reggaetón, specifically for female artists, as a zone for women to employ power through their sexuality. Ivy Queen is a case study that is exemplary for the second perspective. Considering both perspectives relative to one another provides insight into the consequences of reggaetón in contemporary Puerto Rico. To understand the cultural significance reggaetón has in contributing to gender inequality, it is first essential to consider the historical implications of sexuality and race in Puerto Rico. When colonized by the Spanish, a majority of the indigenous population was wiped out by disease and forced labor, instigating the mass influx of African slavery. Black female slaves were often the victims of sexual assault and violent rape by white slave owners. Thus, there existed an inherent sexualization of darker-skinned women by Spanish colonizers because their “darker-hued black female body [suggested] a 'natural' propensity for exotic sexual labor” (Herrera 44).

Music 103 Syllabus
MUS 103: HIP HOP SEMESTER/YEAR???? ?? Shepard Hall Prof. Chadwick Jenkins ([email protected]) Days/Times Office: 78B Shepard Hall; Phone: X7666 Office Hours: ?? Course Objectives: This course will explore the history of hip hop from the earliest formations of the genre in the 1970s to the current moment. This course will have four primary areas of emphasis. First, although we will be interested in other elements of hip hop culture (including dancing, graffiti, literature, etc.), our primary focus will be on the music (the DJ, MC, and production techniques that go into producing hip hop tracks and albums). Second, this class will emphasize the development of the business and promotional aspects of hip hop. Hip hop has become a major business venture for recording studios, record labels, fashion venues, etc. and has had a huge impact on Black and White business in the US. Third, we will devote a large portion of our time to the developing technologies surrounding hip hop including turn tables, drum machines, MPCs, etc. Fourth and finally, we will explore the cultural and political impact hip hop has had on representations of Blackness, political views of violence and equity, and constructions of gender, race, and authenticity. Thus, this class will contribute to the following Departmental Learning Outcomes: 1) Outline major periods in the development of hip hop and recall key facts, writers, performers, technological advances, producers, and ideas; 2) Identify the technological developments contributing to hip hop, the business of hip hop production, and the impact hip hop has had on the social and political life of the US and beyond; 3) Identify different genres, performers, and musical styles through listening; 4) Demonstrate proficiency in writing about key concepts in hip hop history with a focus on descriptive writing (accounting for the sounds of the musical tracks and not just the lyrics, history, and biographical background).

“Orgulloso De Mi Caserío Y De Quien Soy”: Race, Place, and Space in Puerto Rican Reggaetón by Petra Raquel Rivera a Disser
“Orgulloso de mi Caserío y de Quien Soy”: Race, Place, and Space in Puerto Rican Reggaetón By Petra Raquel Rivera A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in African American Studies in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Percy C. Hintzen, Chair Professor Leigh Raiford Professor Joceylne Guilbault Spring 2010 “Orgulloso de mi Caserío y de Quien Soy”: Race, Place, and Space in Puerto Rican Reggaetón © 2010 By Petra Raquel Rivera Abstract “Orgulloso de mi Caserío y de Quien Soy”: Race, Place, and Space in Puerto Rican Reggaetón by Petra Raquel Rivera Doctor of Philosophy in African American Studies University of California, Berkeley Professor Percy C. Hintzen, Chair My dissertation examines entanglements of race, place, gender, and class in Puerto Rican reggaetón. Based on ethnographic and archival research in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and in New York, New York, I argue that Puerto Rican youth engage with an African diasporic space via their participation in the popular music reggaetón. By African diasporic space, I refer to the process by which local groups incorporate diasporic resources such as cultural practices or icons from other sites in the African diaspora into new expressions of blackness that respond to their localized experiences of racial exclusion. Participation in African diasporic space not only facilitates cultural exchange across different African diasporic sites, but it also exposes local communities in these sites to new understandings and expressions of blackness from other places. As one manifestation of these processes in Puerto Rico, reggaetón refutes the hegemonic construction of Puerto Rican national identity as a “racial democracy.” Similar to countries such as Brazil and Cuba, the discourse of racial democracy in Puerto Rico posits that Puerto Ricans are descendents of European, African, and indigenous ancestors.
