  • Scripting and Consuming Black Bodies in Hip Hop Music and Pimp Movies
    SCRIPTING AND CONSUMING BLACK BODIES IN HIP HOP MUSIC AND PIMP MOVIES Ronald L Jackson II and Sakile K. Camara ... Much of the assault on the soulfulness of African American people has come from a White patriarchal, capitalist-dominated music industry, which essentially uses, with their consent and collusion, Black bodies and voices to be messengers of doom and death. Gangsta rap lets us know Black life is worth nothing, that love does not exist among us, that no education for critical consciousness can save us if we are marked for death, that women's bodies are objects, to be used and discard­ ed. The tragedy is not that this music exists, that it makes a lot of money, but that there is no countercultural message that is equally powerful, that can capture the hearts and imaginations of young Black folks who want to live, and live soulfully) Feminist film critics maintain that the dominant look in cinema is, historically, a gendered gaze. More precisely, this viewpoint argues that the dominant visual and narrative conventions of filmmaking generally fix "women as image" and "men as bearer of the image." I would like to suggest that Hollywood cinema also frames a highly particularized racial gaze-that is, a representational system that posi­ tions Blacks as image and Whites as bearer of the image.2 Black bodies have become commodities in the mass media marketplace, particu­ larly within Hip Hop music and Black film. Within the epigraph above, both hooks and Watkins explain the debilitating effects that accompany pathologized fixations on race and gender in Black popular culture.

    Poetry & Song Lyrics Story starters Creative writing prompts Teacher’s guide: This set of “Story Starter” cards is a versatile tool to boost student engagement with creative writing. They provide a low-risk opportunity to imagine and write. Each card uses a snippet of poetry or song lyrics to start students off with an image, a setting, a conflict, or a character. Using these cards There are sixty quotes total. Print or project these cards for any number of occasions: ➢ As bellringers for weekly creative writing ➢ As a creative writing station ➢ To jumpstart oral storytelling ➢ As a discussion starter for themes and devices across genres Low-risk writing One of the best things we can do to help our students grow as writers and thinkers is to provide them with multiple opportunities for practice and experimentation. Using prompts like these (with no “right answer”) gives students a chance to dream big. If they know, for example, that they’ll have another chance next Friday, they’ll be willing to take more risks. Encourage positive sharing and feedback to boost student confidence even more. differentiation Some students may be ready to jump right in to writing a story; others may need more scaffolding. Support student writing by helping them mind map based on a given quote. They can draw connections and notice what inspires them: ➢ Plot – what could happen next? ➢ Character – who is speaking in this quote? Who else is present? ➢ Conflict – what problem is presented? ➢ Theme – what perspective on life does the speaker have? ➢ Setting – where does the quote place the characters?
