  • Hip Hop in Relation to Minority Youth Culture in France Amanda
    Hip Hop in Relation to Minority Youth Culture in France Amanda Cottingham In 1991, the French Minister of Culture, Jack Lang, invited three rap groups to perform at the prime minister’s garden party at the Matignon palace for members of the National Assembly 1. French rappers today are not all on such amicable terms with politicians but are widely popular among the younger generations, a fact that was noted when riots broke out in 2005. Many of these rappers embrace immigrant communities, bringing their issues to the forefront because several are of foreign descent themselves, particularly Arabic North Africans. While the government might want to preserve a traditional view of French culture, modern musicians are celebrating the cultural diversity immigrants bring to the nation. The rap genre has grown in popularity in France to such an extent that despite degenerating relationships with the government, rappers are able to show support for minority groups while maintaining a broad base of popular support from the youths. Unlike other popular forms of music that act simply as a form of entertainment, developments of rap in France show that it is closely linked to social issues facing minority youths. Hip hop is not, however, native to France but rather an imported style which originated in the United States, the South Bronx of New York in particular. In the early 1970s, a former gang member, Afrika Bambaataa organized a group called The Zulu Nation to draw disaffected youths away from gang fighting and instead towards music, dance, and graffiti in order to introduce them to the various elements of hip hop culture.

Abstract Most research into contemporary French West Indian literature focuses on writing that stresses the significance of the plantation and urban cultures of the islands in the early to mid-twentieth century or, more recently, on the desire of some writers to explore broader trans-national influences or environments.

  • Hip-Hop Is My Passport! Using Hip-Hop and Digital Literacies to Understand Global Citizenship Education
    HIP-HOP IS MY PASSPORT! USING HIP-HOP AND DIGITAL LITERACIES TO UNDERSTAND GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP EDUCATION By Akesha Monique Horton A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Curriculum, Teaching and Educational Policy – Doctor of Philosophy 2013 ABSTRACT HIP-HOP IS MY PASSPORT! USING HIP-HOP AND DIGITAL LITERACIES TO UNDERSTAND GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP EDUCATION By Akesha Monique Horton Hip-hop has exploded around the world among youth. It is not simply an American source of entertainment; it is a global cultural movement that provides a voice for youth worldwide who have not been able to express their “cultural world” through mainstream media. The emerging field of critical hip-hop pedagogy has produced little empirical research on how youth understand global citizenship. In this increasingly globalized world, this gap in the research is a serious lacuna. My research examines the intersection of hip-hop, global citizenship education and digital literacies in an effort to increase our understanding of how urban youth from two very different urban areas, (Detroit, Michigan, United States and Sydney, New South Wales, Australia) make sense of and construct identities as global citizens. This study is based on the view that engaging urban and marginalized youth with hip-hop and digital literacies is a way to help them develop the practices of critical global citizenship. Using principled assemblage of qualitative methods, I analyze interviews and classroom observations - as well as digital artifacts produced in workshops - to determine how youth define global citizenship, and how socially conscious, global hip-hop contributes to their definition Copyright by AKESHA MONIQUE HORTON 2013 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am extremely grateful for the wisdom and diligence of my dissertation committee: Michigan State University Drs.

By saying this I do not mean to suggest that taking on either or both of the unfinished identities necessarily exhausts the subjective resources of any particular in­ dividual. However, where racist, nationalist, or ethnically absolutist discourses orches­ trate political relationships so that these identities appear to be mutually exclusive, oc­ cupying the space between them or trying to demonstrate their continuity has been viewed as a provocative and even oppositional act of political insubordination.

  • Sonic Modernities of Our Present By
    Remixing Relationality: ‘Other/ed’ Sonic Modernities of our Present by Mark V. Campbell A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Sociology and Equity Studies Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto © Copyright by Mark V. Campbell 2010 Remixing Relationality: ‘Other/ed’ Sonic Modernities of our Present Doctor of Philosophy 2010 Mark V. Campbell Sociology and Equity Studies University of Toronto Abstract Far from simply playing music, the turntable has, in recent decades, been transformed into a musical instrument. Those that play these new instruments, called Turntablists, alter existing sounds to produce new sonic arrangements, exceeding the assumed use value of the turntable. The turntable’s transformation from record player to instrument captures one of the ways in which Afrosonic sound making activities refuse to conform to existing paradigms of music making in the western world. Throughout the African diaspora, it has been the musics from various regions and nations that continually capture the attention of the world’s music connoisseurs. This dissertation examines the ways in which careful consideration of the sonic innovations in Afrodiasporic cultures produce alternative paradigms through which we might analyze contemporary life. The following chapters interrogate turntablism, remix culture and hip hop music as subtexts that elaborate a foundational narrative of Afrodiasporic life. These subtexts are used as tools to examine the various ethnoscapes of Black Canadian life, official multiculturalism and notions of home within the African diaspora in Canada. The dominant narrative of the African diaspora explored in this work, housed within the sonic, elaborates a relational conception of freedom and modernity born out of the ii particularities of Afrodiasporic life in the west.

    Do not copy without the express written consent of the instructor. Syllabus AFA 4370 - Global Hip-Hop Cultures GENERAL INFORMATION Instructor: Noelle Theard Phone: (305) 348-6860 Ofce: Virtual Ofce Hours: By Appointment E-mail: ntheard@fiu.edu Website: https://africana.fiu.edu/people/adjunct- faculty/noelle-theard/ Course Description And Purpose This course examines how youth across the globe use hip-hop culture(s) to articulate identities, challenge the socio-political and economic status quo, and fight for civil and human rights. This is a Discipline-specific Global Learning course that counts toward your graduation requirement. This course is an exploration of hip-hop culture as it takes shape in different locations around the world. Particular attention will be paid to the transnational, geopolitical, and popular cultural vibrancy of the networks that hip-hop wields to build specific cultural communities in given national and global contexts. The linkages of hip hop to Diaspora networks will be examined throughout the various sections of the course. The course will also provide a space for the discussion of a number of specific questions about hip hop cultures globally: the role of women, the intergenerational divides, and the usurping power of multinational entertainment corporations, among others. The goal is to provide students with a better understanding of how hip-hop has grown out of a rich legacy of transnational intellectualism, and how it is inspiring new forms of scholarship and political activism. We will trace the history of hip-hop by reading key theoretical texts from African Diaspora studies and Black studies scholars.
