Exploring the Complexities of Life in the South Bronx THE BX CHRONICLES: EXPLORING THE COMPLEXITIES OF LIFE IN THE SOUTH BRONX Jason Cory Mendez A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Education in the School of Education. Chapel Hill 2008 Approved by Professor George Noblit Professor Jim Trier Professor Cheryl Mason Bolick Professor James E. Osler II Professor Allison Anders © 2008 Jason Cory Mendez ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT JASON CORY MENDEZ: THE BX CHRONICLES: EXPLORING THE COMPLEXITIES OF LIFE IN THE SOUTH BRONX (Under the direction of George W. Noblit) This nontraditional dissertation, which I prefer to label as a manuscript, is a qualitative study that explores the complexities of life in the South Bronx. This manuscript represents my multifaceted journey as a young Puerto Rican man making meaning of life in the South Bronx as well as making meaning of my lived experiences navigating through academia. This journey implicitly employs a theoretical framework of détournement, critical race theory, lived experience, and representation in order to construct a counterstory that critiques popular and distorted (stereotypical) representations of life in the South Bronx. Additionally, this manuscript examines the complexities in the representations of Hiphop. Along this journey I explored the life of world renowned Hiphop pioneer, Phase 2. Phase 2’s experiences and knowledge concerning interpretations of the origins, shifts, and objectifying of Hiphop speak to its [Hiphop’s] social origins, evolution, and position in reality. The lived experiences of Phase 2 are mirrored against my own lived experiences in order to create a dialogue that speaks to Hiphop as culturally lived experiences rather than a set of elements (rapping, break dancing, aerosol art, and dee jaying) to which Hiphop is often reduced. iii DEDICATION To my children, your mother and I are a testament that nothing is impossible with God and as you begin your search for the master don’t ever forget who you are and where you stand in the struggle. iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Finding the glow has been a long journey.

On September 30, 1946, Hector Juan Perez was born in Ponce, Puerto Rico. When Hector was a young boy his father would give him [Hector] musical lessons in hope that one day he would become a famous saxophonist. Over time Hector lost interest in playing the sax; instead his attention turned to the music coming from his radio. The sounds of Jibaro 2 inspired Hector to become a singer. (Lavoe, 2008a) At the age of 17, Hector pursued his dream of becoming a singer by moving to New York City. During his first week in New York City, Hector was invited to a rehearsal for a newly formed group. During the rehearsal, the lead singer was unable to hit his notes so Hector decided to help him by showing him the correct tune. After hearing Hector sing, the group immediately made Hector their lead singer. (Lavoe, 2008a) During this time, there were many Latino singers, but none could sing like Hector. In order to separate Hector from the others, a former manager gave him the Spanish nickname “La Voz” which means “the voice.” Soon after, Hector Juan Perez changed his name to Hector Lavoe 3. Thus, a legend was born. (Lavoe, 2008b) Hector Lavoe was a voice for a lot of people from Boricuas on the island to Boricuas in the Bronx. He sang songs about his beautiful isla de encanto in Yo Naci en Puerto Rico, to his battles against his own demons in Aguanilé . 2 Traditional Puerto Rican folk or country music 3 French for “the voice” viii Similar to Hector Lavoe, I am a voice. Within this particular story, I am the voice of those who grew up on Manida like Gilbert, Jose, Angel, Juan, Espy, and DJ. I am the voice of those who grew up in the South Bronx like Phase 2, Tej, and Aohnte. I am the voice for those who did not grow up in the South Bronx, but who can relate to what I have written. Ultimately, I am a voice that desires to be heard by those who will come after me. The youth are the reason I have told this story. The most important question I was asked during my dissertation proposal defense was, “Who is your audience?” It was the night before my dissertation proposal defense and as I went through pictures of the kids from Potentialis that I realized that the kids were my audience. My story is an explanation to them addressing why things are the way they are. The reason why I am ambiguous in naming the “things” is because the “things” can mean anything depending on the world in which they exist. This is a call to WAKE UP and break the chains of mental slavery. This is a call to WAKE UP and recognize the illusions that surround us. This is a call to WAKE UP and distinguish between hype and reality. This is a call to WAKE UP and differentiate between caricature and self. WAKE UP! ix TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter I.

I would also like to express my deepest gratitude to my committee members: Andy Bennett, Hans A. Skott-Myhre, Nick Baxter-Moore and Will Straw. These scholars have shaped my ideas about this project in crucial ways. I am indebted to Michael Zryd and Francois Lukawecki for their unwavering kindness, encouragement and wisdom over many years. Steve Russell patiently began to teach me basic rules ofgrammar. Barry Grant and Eric Liu provided comments about earlier chapter drafts. Simon Frith, Raquel Rivera, Anthony Kwame Harrison, Kwande Kefentse and John Hunting offered influential suggestions and encouragement in correspondence. Mike Ripmeester, Sarah Matheson, Jeannette Sloniowski, Scott Henderson, Jim Leach, Christie Milliken, David Butz and Dale Bradley also contributed helpful insights in either lectures or conversations. AJ Fashbaugh supplied the soul food and music that kept my body and mind nourished last year. If AJ brought the knowledge then Matt Masters brought the truth. (What a powerful triangle, indeed!) I was exceptionally fortunate to have such noteworthy fellow graduate students. Cole Lewis (my summer writing partner who kept me accountable), Zorianna Zurba, Jana Tomcko, Nylda Gallardo-Lopez, Seth Mulvey and Pauline Fogarty each lent an ear on numerous much needed occasions as I worked through my ideas out loud.

Hip hop dance has taken many forms throughout its four decades ofexistence. This research shows that regardless ofthe form there are three prominent characteristics: performance, personal style, and competition. Although it is possible to isolate the study ofeach ofthese characteristics, they are inseparable when defining hip hop dance. There are several genre-specific performance formats in which hip hop dance is experienced. Personal style includes the individuality and creativity that is celebrated in the hip hop dancer. Competition is the inherent driving force that pushes hip hop dancers to extend the form's physical limitations.

  • Liking of Specific Tobacco Advertisements As a Mediator of Individual Difference Influences on Contemporaneous Susceptibility and Change in Use After 12 Months
    Liking of Specific Tobacco Advertisements as a Mediator of Individual Difference Influences on Contemporaneous Susceptibility and Change in Use after 12 Months THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Christopher Loiewski Graduate Program in Communication The Ohio State University 2017 Thesis Committee: Michael Slater, Advisor Hyunyi Cho Amy Ferketich Copyrighted by Christopher Loiewski 2017 Abstract Tobacco marketing exposure has been linked to adolescent tobacco use, yet there is scarce research examining adolescents’ reactions to tobacco advertisements. The present research explored how individual difference variables influence the extent to which one likes a tobacco advertisement, and how liking a tobacco advertisement predicts tobacco susceptibility and change in tobacco use after one year. Additionally, the effect of attitudes toward tobacco print advertisements was hypothesized to be conditioned on dispositional variables including sensation seeking and delay discounting. The sample consisted of a total of 1,221 eleven- to sixteen-year-old boys from urban and rural counties in Ohio. Participants completed a survey at baseline and were exposed to print magazine advertisements for e-cigarettes, cigarettes, and smokeless tobacco, alcohol, and soft drinks and subsequently asked their attitudes toward the respective advertisements. Attitudes toward tobacco advertising significantly mediated the relationship between the individual difference variables and baseline tobacco susceptible, but no evidence of mediation was found for the 12-month use analyses. The effect of adolescents’ attitudes toward tobacco advertisements was a significant predictor of change in e-cigarette and smokeless tobacco use at 12-months and was conditioned on one’s level of sensation seeking.
