Through a variety of materials including rap lyrics, graffiti, urban muralism, break dance, sound design, and entrepreneurship, the class will discuss: a) media and migratory factors of hip-hop expansion in the region; b) the notions of youth culture conveyed by these expressions; c) aesthetic debates around hip hop; d) the public intervention of hip-hop groups and their political influence. Class activities will include reading summaries, playlists of rap pieces with transcriptions and analysis, video and street art descriptions, class debates, and two tests, with the objective of introducing students to cultural and youth studies, and topics of contemporary Latin American contexts where hip hop culture has developed: poverty, race and ethnic conflicts, gender and sexuality. Grading: Two partial tests: 30% Final project: 30% Reading summaries: 15% Quizzes: 10% Participation: 15% Two partial tests. The content of these tests will be the topics of class discussions. Final project. This will be a project developed by two students. There are two options for this project: 1). A selection of 10 rap pieces from any country of Latin America (including Brazil, the Caribbean countries and US Latino); a transcription and analysis of the lyrics; a presentation of the analysis (15-20 minutes). An essay of 4-5 pages will be turned in the day of presentation. 2) The composition of rap songs in Spanish. These songs should address any social or political issue of contemporary Latin America. About 10 pages. Reading Summaries: each student will select one of the optional texts and will write a summary of one page to be presented to the class. Quizzes: a quiz will be given for each mandatory reading. Participation: Students are expected to be prepared for the class and to participate actively in discussions. In their participation, students will contribute with comments on the materials of analysis, response to professor and classmates’ positions, and questions addressing analysis and criticism. Attitudes and interventions that discourage the learning experience of the class will be considered negative participation and may affect participation grade. Course policies Only 2 absences are allowed without penalty. After the 2nd one, a point from the final grade will be reduced for each absence, except when excusable absences are documented: illness, accidents, court attendance, participation in academic conferences, etc. (family reunions and non-emergency travels are not excusable). 50% of absences will result in an automatic F.

  • A Study of the Rap Music Industry in Bogota, Colombia by Laura
    The Art of the Hustle: A Study of the Rap Music Industry in Bogota, Colombia by Laura L. Bunting-Hudson Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2017 © 2017 Laura L. Bunting-Hudson All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT The Art of the Hustle: A Study of the Rap Music Industry in Bogota, Colombia Laura L. Bunting-Hudson How do rap artists in Bogota, Colombia come together to make music? What is the process they take to commodify their culture? Why are some rappers able to become socially mobile in this process, while others are less so? What is technology’s role in all of this? This ethnography explores those questions, as it carefully documents the strategies utilized by various rap groups in Bogota, Colombia to create social mobility, commoditize products and to create a different vision of modernity within the hip-hop community, as an alternative to the ideals set forth by mainstream Colombian society. Resistance Art Poetry (RAP), is said to have originated in the United States but has become a form of international music. In conducting ethnographic research from December of 2012 to October 2014, I was able to discover how rappers organize themselves politically, how they commoditize their products and distribute them to create various types of social mobilities. In this dissertation, I constructed models to typologize rap groups in Bogota, Colombia, which I call polities of rappers to discuss how these groups come together, take shape, make plans and execute them to reach their business goals.

  • PRESSMEDDELANDE Selam Södran Goes Latin Urban!
    PRESSMEDDELANDE Selam♥Södran goes Latin Urban! Selam♥Södran är ett nytt samarbete som startat under våren 2010. Inom ramen för detta samarbete ryms en ny serie: Latin Urban – tre kvällar med fokus på ung och urban musik med rötterna i Colombia och Puerto Rico. Gemensamt för alla tre akterna är det sociala och politiska engagemanget som går som en röd tråd genom texter och musik. Alla grupperna framträder för första gången i Sverige! Tre helgjutna kvällar med livemusik och dubbla dansgolv: Club Dem Bow med Dj Pablo el Bravo (Reggaeton/Hip-Hop) och Club El Barrio med Dj Nino (Salsa/Latinmix). Biljetterna till samtliga konserter släpps nu på måndag 22 februari! Selam och Södra Teatern gör under våren en djupdykning i ett av alla dessa nya musikaliska uttryck som har börjat ta sig ut i resten av världen. Vi talar om den musikgenre som i Grammy sammanhang populärt kallas för ”Latin Urban”. "Jag tror att vi idag ser början på något som med tiden kommer att bli den största musikstilen i den spansktalande världen..." /Salla Salazar, The Salazar Brothers 27 mars, 20.00-02.00, Kägelbanan Tres Coronas [Col/USA] New York-baserade colombianska gruppen Tres Coronas kommer för första gången till Sverige med sin fusion av Afrolatinska rytmer och hiphop.

  • Politics and the Popular Imagination in the Era of Trujillo
    THE DICTATOR’S SEDUCTION AMERICAN ENCOUNTERS/GLOBAL INTERACTIONS A series edited by Gilbert M. Joseph and Emily S. Rosenberg This series aims to stimulate critical perspectives and fresh inter- pretive frameworks for scholarship on the history of the imposing global presence of the United States. Its primary concerns include the deployment and contestation of power, the construction and decon- struction of cultural and political borders, the fluid meanings of inter- cultural encounters, and the complex interplay between the global and the local. American Encounters seeks to strengthen dialogue and collaboration between historians of U.S. international relations and area studies specialists. The series encourages scholarship based on multiarchival histori- cal research. At the same time, it supports a recognition of the repre- sentational character of all stories about the past and promotes crit- ical inquiry into issues of subjectivity and narrative. In the process, American Encounters strives to understand the context in which meanings related to nations, cultures, and political economy are con- tinually produced, challenged, and reshaped.
