  • 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.

  • Sharing Economies and Affective Labour in Montréal's Kiki Scene
    SERVING EACH OTHER: SHARING ECONOMIES AND AFFECTIVE LABOUR IN MONTRÉAL’S KIKI SCENE by Jess D. Lundy A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts In Women’s and Gender Studies Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2019, Jess D. Lundy Abstract Against a tense socio-political backdrop of white supremacy, intensifying pressures of neoliberal fiscal austerity, and queer necropolitics, this thesis addresses performance-based activist forms of place-making for urban-based queer, trans, and gender nonconforming communities of colour. Using participant observation and qualitative interviews with pioneering members of Montréal’s Kiki scene and Ottawa’s emerging Waacking community and interpreting my findings through the theoretical lens of queer of colour theory, critical whiteness studies, queer Latinx performance studies and Chicana feminism, I argue that Kiki subculture, which is maintained by pedagogical processes of ‘each one, teach one’, is instrumental in facilitating i) life-affirming queer kinship bonds, (ii) alternative ways to simultaneously embody and celebrate non- normative gender expression with Black, Asian, and Latinx identity, iii) non-capitalist economies of sharing, and iv) hopeful strategies of everyday community activism and resilience to appropriative processes during economic insecurity and necropolitical turmoil. ii Acknowledgements First and foremost, I would like to acknowledge the members of Montréal’s Kiki scene and Ottawa’s Waacking founder for their willingness to participate in this study despite the understandable reflex to safe-guard their own. Secondly, I extend my sincerest gratitude to my thesis supervisor Dr. Dan Irving. Apart from disproving that you should never meet your heroes, Dr.

However, in the earlier decades of the twentieth century black women were daily deflecting slings and arrows thrown at them from all sides. Arising out of this milieu of adversity were Josephine Baker, Katherine Dunham, and Pearl Primus, performing artists whose success depended upon a willingness to innovate, to adapt to changing times, and to recognize and seize opportunities when and where they arose. Baker introduced her performing skills to New York audiences in the 1920s, followed by Dunham in the 1930s, and Primus in the 1940s. Although these decades resulted in an outpouring of cultural and artistic experimentation, for performing artists daring to cross traditional boundaries of gender and race, the obstacles were significant.

  • African American Creative Arts: Dance, Literature, Music, Theater and Visual Art from Slavery Through the Harlem Renaissance
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Vol. 5, No. 1; January 2015 African American Creative Arts: Dance, Literature, Music, Theater and Visual Art from Slavery through the Harlem Renaissance Iola Thompson, Ed. D Medgar Evers College, CUNY 1650 Bedford Ave., Brooklyn, NY 11225 USA Abstract The African American creative arts of dance, music, literature, theater and visual art have changed over time since arriving with the slave ships. These changes are a manifestation of political, educational and economic evolution as well as assimilation. As the life experiences of African Americans changed, from slavery through the Harlem Renaissance, their creative activities have reflected it. Keywords: African American, creative arts, slavery, Harlem Renaissance 1. Introduction African American creative arts arrived on the slave ships with the African people who brought their ways of expression with them as they landed on the shores of North America, South America and the Caribbean. The creative expression of African American arts has changed over time as life and experiences have progressed, but some elements have remained the same; most notably, the innate African way of expression that was passed from generation to generation and can still be seen today. However, today’s generation may not be aware of their heritage and why they do things the way they do. For example, some of the latest dance styles developed by young people: Breaking, Hip Hop, Krumping, Clowning, and Popping are considered street dances, but they not only have their roots from traditional African dance, their basic movement structures are also from traditional African dance. Certain ways of movement and expressing art are cultural manifestations that seem to remain even though they have become intermingled with other artistic attributes through assimilation.

  • Cultural Appropriation and Subcultural Expression: the Dialectics of Cooptation and Resistance
    Text only version---needs footnotes Cultural Appropriation and Subcultural Expression: The Dialectics of Cooptation and Resistance A paper for presentation to the Northwestern University Center for the Humanities, Monday Nov. 14, 1994, 4-5:30 pm, Ver Steeg Faculty Lounge, University Library version 2.3 [For a decade or so it has been commonplace in academic presentations of film and video analysis to show clips (just as art historians show slides). It is now possible to store and retrieve articles with clips on the Internet and the World Wide Web. In a few years much scholarship of this kind will be electronically published, and student film and tv analysis "papers" will routinely include clips. ] - Chuck Kleinhans A lot of the people in cultural studies these days kind of remind me of the FBI in the fifties: They find subversion everywhere. --Greil Marcus. The questions I want to examine are: how do subcultures appropriate from the dominant culture, particularly its mass culture, and how does that dominant mass culture in turn appropriate from subcultures?[1] Does such dual appropriation promote or undermine assimilation and/or identity? And, given that there are distinct power differentials between the consciousness industry and cultural expressions by subordinate groups, what kind of resistance is possible and effective? While a short essay cannot do justice to the complexity of all the issues involved, I can advance an argument for constructing further studies which can give the social and historical context for the processes.
