  • The Miseducation of Hip-Hop Dance: Authenticity, and the Commodification of Cultural Identities
    The Miseducation of Hip-Hop dance: Authenticity, and the commodification of cultural identities. E. Moncell Durden., Assistant Professor of Practice University of Southern California Glorya Kaufman School of Dance Introduction Hip-hop dance has become one of the most popular forms of dance expression in the world. The explosion of hip-hop movement and culture in the 1980s provided unprecedented opportunities to inner-city youth to gain a different access to the “American” dream; some companies saw the value in using this new art form to market their products for commercial and consumer growth. This explosion also aided in an early downfall of hip-hop’s first dance form, breaking. The form would rise again a decade later with a vengeance, bringing older breakers out of retirement and pushing new generations to develop the technical acuity to extraordinary levels of artistic corporeal genius. We will begin with hip-hop’s arduous beginnings. Born and raised on the sidewalks and playgrounds of New York’s asphalt jungle, this youthful energy that became known as hip-hop emerged from aspects of cultural expressions that survived political abandonment, economic struggles, environmental turmoil and gang activity. These living conditions can be attributed to high unemployment, exceptionally organized drug distribution, corrupt police departments, a failed fire department response system, and Robert Moses’ building of the Cross-Bronx Expressway, which caused middle and upper-class residents to migrate North. The South Bronx lost 600,000 jobs and displaced more than 5,000 families. Between 1973 and 1977, and more than 30,000 fires were set in the South Bronx, which gave rise to the phrase “The Bronx is Burning.” This marginalized the black and Latino communities and left the youth feeling unrepresented, and hip-hop gave restless inner-city kids a voice.

  • Música Dance, Una Experiencia De Éxtasis a Través Del Cuerpo
    Resonancias n°32, junio 2013 / Artículos Música dance, una experiencia de éxtasis a través del cuerpo. Reflexiones en torno a una etnografía realizada en tres fiestas de Santiago de Chile Javier Paredes Figueroa1 Investigador Independiente Resumen El presente trabajo explora el grado de eficacia que posee la música dance como manera de lograr una experiencia corporal de “éxtasis” en el contexto de la fiesta electrónica. El escrito asume que el éxtasis se experimenta a través del cuerpo en la práctica del baile, y que éste se vincula con determinadas ideas surgidas en la sociedad moderna contemporánea, para la cual el cuerpo es un álter ego capaz de proveer sensaciones placenteras al individuo. A partir de una etnografía realizada en tres fiestas electrónicas en Santiago de Chile, se comprende la fiesta electrónica como un espacio pensado por la cultura dance para vivir nuevas sensaciones relacionadas con el éxtasis corporal. Hacia el final, el texto concluye que los elementos musicales presentes en la música dance proveen al individuo de energía, sensaciones y seguridad, potenciando así la experiencia de éxtasis. Palabras claves: música dance, cuerpo, baile, éxtasis, cultura dance. Abstract This paper studies dance music and its role in providing a bodily experience of “ecstasy” within the context of the electronic party. This essay assumes that this kind of ecstasy is experienced through the human body in the context of dance, and that it relates to ideas and concepts that were born in modern contemporary societies. These ideas describe the body as an alter ego capable of providing pleasant sensations to the person, and conceives the electronic party as a “space” in which participants are able to experience new sensations in the context of body ecstasy.
