THE IruFLUENCE oF RAP IN THE AnAB SPRING ey SaHaANTHA Carurneu-AuGSBURc CollEGE Enculry Anvrson: Dn. Roeenr Srecrcr BSTRACT: Throughout history, music has been influential in social, reli- gious, and political disputes. In the early 21st century, change in the estab- order can be found in expressing the need for reform halfway around the world in the Middle East's Arab Spring. Rap artists such as El General (Tunisia), GAB (Libya), and Omar Offendum (Syria) used their talents to both spark and en- courage protestors during the early days of the Middle Eastern protests that began in late 2010; these protests have since been coined "The Arab Spring." The energy that could have been used to wield guns and bombs was instead poured into protest music that these and other artists produced during this time period. The relatively Western genre of rap music became integral in peaceful citizens protests happening all over the Middle East.

  • Hip Hop from '48 Palestine
    Social Text Hip Hop from ’48 Palestine Youth, Music, and the Present/Absent Sunaina Maira and Magid Shihade This essay sheds light on the ways in which a particular group of Palestin- ian youth offers a critical perspective on national identity in the colonial present, using hip hop to stretch the boundaries of nation and articulate the notion of a present absence that refuses to disappear. The production of identity on the terrain of culture is always fraught in relation to issues of authenticity, displacement, indigeneity, and nationalism and no more so than in the ongoing history of settler colonialism in Palestine. In the last decade, underground hip hop produced by Palestinian youth has grown and become a significant element of a transnational Palestinian youth culture as well as an expression of political critique that has begun to infuse the global Palestinian rights movement. This music is linked to a larger phenomenon of cultural production by a Palestinian generation that has come of age listening to the sounds of rap, in Palestine as well as in the diaspora, and that has used hip hop to engage with the question of Palestinian self- determination and with the politics of Zionism, colonial- ism, and resistance. Our research focuses on hip hop produced by Palestinian youth within the 1948 borders of Israel, a site that reveals some of the most acute contradictions of nationalism, citizenship, and settler colonialism. Through hip hop, a new generation of “1948 Palestinians” is construct- ing national identities and historical narratives in the face of their ongoing erasure and repression.1 We argue that this Palestinian rap reimagines the geography of the nation, linking the experiences of “ ’48 Palestinians” to those in the Occupied Territories and in the diaspora, and producing an archive of censored histories.

  • Song, State, Sawa Music and Political Radio Between the US and Syria
    Song, State, Sawa Music and Political Radio between the US and Syria Beau Bothwell Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 © 2013 Beau Bothwell All rights reserved ABSTRACT Song, State, Sawa: Music and Political Radio between the US and Syria Beau Bothwell This dissertation is a study of popular music and state-controlled radio broadcasting in the Arabic-speaking world, focusing on Syria and the Syrian radioscape, and a set of American stations named Radio Sawa. I examine American and Syrian politically directed broadcasts as multi-faceted objects around which broadcasters and listeners often differ not only in goals, operating assumptions, and political beliefs, but also in how they fundamentally conceptualize the practice of listening to the radio. Beginning with the history of international broadcasting in the Middle East, I analyze the institutional theories under which music is employed as a tool of American and Syrian policy, the imagined youths to whom the musical messages are addressed, and the actual sonic content tasked with political persuasion. At the reception side of the broadcaster-listener interaction, this dissertation addresses the auditory practices, histories of radio, and theories of music through which listeners in the sonic environment of Damascus, Syria create locally relevant meaning out of music and radio. Drawing on theories of listening and communication developed in historical musicology and ethnomusicology, science and technology studies, and recent transnational ethnographic and media studies, as well as on theories of listening developed in the Arabic public discourse about popular music, my dissertation outlines the intersection of the hypothetical listeners defined by the US and Syrian governments in their efforts to use music for political ends, and the actual people who turn on the radio to hear the music.

  • Elliot Sperling, Professor, Department of Central Eurasian Studies, Indiana University
    Demographic Changes on the Sino-Tibetan Frontier in the 15th Century and their Implications Speaker: Elliot Sperling, Professor, Department of Central Eurasian Studies, Indiana University Chair: Patricia Uberoi, Chairperson, Institute of Chinese Studies 9 April 2015 Institute of Chinese Studies Delhi Elliot Sperling’s presentation provided a brief background to the social, economic and cultural situation of Tibet in the 15th century, as well as, the demographic changes which took place in Tibet during this period. These include the deterioration of the position of Buddhism in India, consequent decline of pilgrimage and reduction of trade with India. These demographic changes in the 15th century, along with its implications on the economy of Tibet, played an important role in Sino-Tibetan relations in the later centuries. It gave an increased level of importance to the Tibetan economy, especially Kham. The demographic changes that took place in Tibet were reflected in the massive migration of Tibetan population into eastern Tibet, making it the most populous part of the Plateau and the influx of Chinese into the province of Sichuan making it the most populous province of China. While pointing towards the implications of the demographic changes that took place in Tibet during 15th century, the speaker argued that the fact that the majority, albeit a slim majority, of the Tibetan population in China resides outside the territory that constitutes present-day Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR), has its roots in the changes that took place in the 15th century. He started his presentation by raising an important question i.e., what Tibet is and what the boundaries of Tibet are.

  • Hip Hop Culture in a Small Moroccan City SMALL MORROCAN CITY
    Seilstad: Hip Hop Culture in a Small Moroccan City SMALL MORROCAN CITY . Hip Hop Culture in a Small Moroccan City Brian Seilstad This paper explores Hip Hop culture by tracing its development from the global level through the Arab world to finally its manifestation in Morocco. Hip Hop culture is defined broadly as a wide range of artistic expressions—rap, graffiti, breakdancing, DJing, etc.—and also a mind-set or way of life. The focus on the Moroccan context starts at the national level, pointing out some of the key artists, issues Moroccan Hip Hop faces, and how this has been explored by scholars of Hip Hop. The paper focuses on an ethnographic exploration of Hip Hop culture in Ifrane, a small Moroccan city. An analytic approach suggested in Patti Lather’s 1991 book Getting Smart informs and expands the paper particularly by privileging the emancipatory power of Moroccan Hip Hop, creating a nuanced view of the impact of Hip Hop on the lives of youth in this small community. Finally, the paper employs a self-reflexive stance to critically view the author’s own position in the research project in order to name some of the challenges and contradictions of a white male American doing Hip Hop research in the Moroccan context. I was a Peace Corps Volunteer in Morocco from 2005-2007. During that time, I worked in a small town, Amizmiz, near Marrakesh that I came to see as “normal” in terms of infrastructure, schools, and people.

Miranda Joseph was instrumental in recruiting me to the University of Arizona and, as the Director of Graduate Studies, being an early advocate for me and so many other graduate students. Her feedback and willingness to hold me accountable while encouraging me forward helped me to see the importance and strength of my work.
