  • Hawaiian Music Takes Center Court at L.A. Clippers Hawaii Night
    For Immediate Release: March 11, 2019 HTA Release (19-03) Hawaiian Music Takes Center Court at L.A. Clippers Hawai‘i Night HONOLULU – All eyes were on Nā Hōkū Hanohano Award-winning recording artist Josh Tatofi tonight at the Staples Center in Los Angeles as he brought his upbeat sounds of the Hawaiian Islands to L.A. Clippers and Boston Celtics fans during a special halftime show. Tatofi performed his new single titled “Melia” released today as part of the L.A. Clippers “Hawai‘i Night” celebration. Through the support of Hawai‘i’s tourism industry, the performance gave those in attendance an opportunity to experience the Islands’ unique culture and aloha spirit. To kick off Hawai‘i Night at the Staples Center, hula dancers from three Los Angeles-based hula hālau performed in the promenade as fans arrived. Hawai‘i’s own Jasmine Trias, former American Idol star, performed the National Anthem prior to tip-off. The first 5,000 fans to enter the arena also received a Hawaiian Shirt Rally Towel, which featured a white floral print on a blue background. As timing would have it, the University of Hawai‘i Rainbow Warriors men’s basketball team was also in attendance and received a warm welcome as they were recognized on the Jumbotron. The team is on its way to the Big West Tournament in Anaheim, California where they will play Long Beach State on Thursday. ### Media Note: Hawai‘i Night b-roll provided courtesy of the L.A.

ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Hip-hop, Streetdance, and the Remaking of the Global Filipino by Jeffrey Lorenzo Perillo Doctor of Philosophy in Culture and Performance University of California, Los Angeles, 2013 Professor Susan Leigh Foster, Committee Co-Chair Professor Victor Bascara, Committee Co-Chair New York-based African American, Latino, and Caribbean immigrant youth of the 1960s and early 1970s gave life to one of the world's major contemporary cultural movements: Hip-hop. Initially misunderstood as a faddish form of Black male musical expression, Hip-hop's cultural resistance practices were quickly recognized as four core elements (emceeing, turntablism, graffiti art, and b-boying/b-girling). In the global context, Hip-hop has generated scholarly discourse that points to either the cultural globalization of American Blackness or a "global village." My project interrupts this conversation and focuses on the unique, multi-site cultural history of Filipino identity as constituted through practitioners of Hip-Hop dance. My work argues that a community of Filipinos, situated in different geo-political loci—Berkeley, California, Honolulu, Hawai‘i, and Manila, Philippines—configure prevailing concepts of Hip-hop while remaking conditions of ! ii dispossession and displacement in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.

  • The Filipino Century in Hawaii: out of the Crucible
    From: Filipino Centennial Souvenir Program (Honolulu: Filipino Centennial Celebration Commission, December 10, 2(05). The Filipino Century in Hawaii: Out of the Crucible By Belinda A. Aquino Centerfor Philippine Studies University ofHawaii at Manoa How does one capture the essence of a hundred years? We are reminded of Gabriel Garcia Marquez's Nobel Prize-winning, Cien Afios de Soledad: A Hundred Years of Solitude. Using his signature literary style called "magical realism," Marquez crafts a brilliant epic story of love, loss, death and renewal in the mythical village of Macondo, covering a hundred years of the original protagonist, Jose Arcadio Buendia, and his descendants. It is highly comic but at the same time deeply tragic. Solitude or not, it isn't just another story. It's a story that engages our sense of human survival. It is about the indestructibility of the human spirit, the enduring theme of all great literature. The world of the plantation in Hawaii wasn't so mythical as Macondo. It was starkly real. For the first 15 bewildered Filipino sakadas (migrant workers) who got off the S.S. Doric on December 20,1906, amid stares of curious onlookers, the world before them was one of foreboding. The feudal plantation system and its oppressive need for abundant cheap labor was already entrenched when they arrived. Life for them would be much more than solitude. It would be more like a crucible serving up the severest of tests for human endurance. Ten to 12­ hour days of backbreaking work in the canefields under a searing sun, a miserable dollar- a ­ day wage, homelessness, rootlessness, isolation, loneliness, vulnerability to the luna's wrath, suffering and other human hardships would be the essence of their existence.

  • How American Idol Constructs Celebrity, Collective Identity, and American Discourses
    AMERICAN IDEAL: HOW AMERICAN IDOL CONSTRUCTS CELEBRITY, COLLECTIVE IDENTITY, AND AMERICAN DISCOURSES A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy By Amanda Scheiner McClain May, 2010 i © Copyright 2010 by Amanda Scheiner McClain All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT This dissertation is a three-pronged study examining American themes, celebrity, and collective identity associated with the television program American Idol. The study includes discourse analyses of the first seven seasons of the program, of the season seven official American Idol message boards, and of the 2002 and 2008 show press coverage. The American themes included a rags-to-riches narrative, archetypes, and celebrity. The discourse-formed archetypes indicate which archetypes people of varied races may inhabit, who may be sexual, and what kinds of sexuality are permitted. On the show emotional exhibitions, archetypal resonance, and talent create a seemingly authentic celebrity while discourse positioning confirms this celebrity. The show also fostered a complication-free national American collective identity through the show discourse, while the online message boards facilitated the formation of two types of collective identities: a large group of American Idol fans and smaller contestant-affiliated fan groups. Finally, the press coverage study found two overtones present in the 2002 coverage, derision and awe, which were absent in the 2008 coverage. The primary reasons for this absence may be reluctance to criticize an immensely popular show and that the American Idol success was no longer surprising by 2008. By 2008, American Idol was so ingrained within American culture that to deride it was to critique America itself.
