  • ! from Making Love to Sexing: Historical Development of Sexual
    From Making Love to Sexing: Historical Development of Sexual References in Popular Music 1960-2011 Claire Carden Spring 2012 Advisor: Nancy Bell English Department College of Liberal Arts ! TO THE UNIVERSITY HONORS COLLEGE: As thesis advisor for __________________________, I have read this paper and find it satisfactory. ______________________ Thesis Advisor __________________________ Date Precis This study examines changes in sexual references in lyrics by focusing on the number of references and the language used in the sexual reference. The corpus was made up of 1168 sexual references. Each reference was classified into references to sex acts (e.g., oral, anal or vaginal sex, etc.; N= 610), to body parts (i.e., ass, pussy, etc.; N= 127), to terms of reference or address (i.e., baby momma, lover, etc.; N= 220) or to other sexual behaviors (i.e., rape, prostitution, etc.; N= 211). Only one paper that looks directly at change in lyrics over time is Hall et al (2011). Their approach differs from mine in purpose and thus focus. They did not examine the change in type of sexual references over time. My data sample for this paper is the lyrics from the top-ranked songs on the Billboard weekly listing, selecting the top song for the first week of each month from 1960 through 2011 (610 songs). I found that there have been many changes since 1960, both quantitatively and qualitatively. There has been an increase in the number of sexual references since 1960. The vast majority of the sex act references (441 out of 610) were references to vaginal sex; the first non-vaginal reference was a reference to manual stimulation in 1972.

  • Hip Hop Culture Has Grown from Its Meagre Beginnings in Inner-City
    Representations of Women and Wealth in Hip Hop Videos Pro Gradu Thesis English Department University of Tampere Santtu Reinikainen May 2005 Tiivistelmä Tampereen Yliopisto Kieli- ja käännöstieteiden laitos Santtu Reinikainen: Representations of Wealth and Women in Hip Hop Videos Pro gradu –tutkielma, 103 sivua ja 7 liitettä Toukokuu 2005 Opinnäytetyön tarkoitus oli tutkia naisten ja vaurauden representaatioita nykypäivän amerikkalaisissa valtavirta-hip hop –videoissa. Tavoitteena oli selvittää, minkälaisia merkityksiä hip hop –kulttuurissa ja eritoten videoissa naisten ja vaurauden esittämiseen liitetään, sekä pohtia historiallisia, sosiaalisia ja kulttuurisia syitä tiettyjen representaatioiden syntyyn. Tutkimusmetodeina työssä käytettiin kulttuurintutkimusta, ’rodun’ kulttuuriseen tutkimukseen keskittyvää ns. Black Studiesia, semiotiikkaa (hyödyntäen erityisesti Roland Barthesin mytologia-käsitteistöä), musiikkivideotutkimusta ja Laura Mulveyn psykoanalyyttista feminististä elokuvateoriaa. Tutkimuksessa selvisi, että orjuuden historia on luonut Yhdysvaltoihin rodullisesti epätasa- arvoisen yhteiskunnan; epätasa-arvo näkyy sekä sosiotaloudellisissa seikoissa että representaation tasolla. Työssä kävi myös ilmi, että mustien miesten orjuudessa alkanut systemaattinen emaskulointi ja nöyryytys on johtanut maskuliinisuuden ylikorostamiseen; kriitikot argumentoivat, että orjuutta seurannut mustien Amerikkalaisten historia – mukaan lukien 60-luvun musta ihmisoikeusliike – on määrittynyt monilta osin mieheyden symbolisena palauttamisena.
