  • Computer Deleuze
    Computer Deleuze 4 COLLAPSE III Editorial Introduction Robin Mackay Welcome to our third volume, the greater part of which is devoted to the work of Gilles Deleuze.1 Alongside a number of searching examinations of his work, it also features two previously untranslated texts by Deleuze himself. Although assembled under the working title ‘Unknown Deleuze’, the volume announces no scandalous revelation, no radical reinterpretation; rather, this title simply indicates a humble acknowledgement of the fact that, philosophically speaking, Deleuze remains something of an enigma. It is not without trepidation that we devote almost an entire volume to one particular philosopher; even more so given the ever-accelerating trend of secondary commentary and the rash of titles claiming to apply Deleuze’s thought to 1. In the second part of the volume we present a record of the conference ‘Speculative Realism’, which elaborates certain themes taken up in COLLAPSE Volume II. Since these themes were already introduced in that volume, we will remark here only that one should not anticipate a discursive statement of fully-formed philosophi- cal positions, but rather a continuation – in the absence of the extended interviews featured in previous volumes – of COLLAPSE ’s commitment to the publication of ‘live philosophy’. ‘Speculative Realism’ is a conversation between four philosophers who think outside partisan affiliations to particular thinkers or schools, and thus is genuinely exploratory. Its ‘unfinished’ aspect reflects its status as a document of contemporary philosophy in the making, in which new conceptual approaches are proposed, the borders between science and philosophy probed, and the history of thought mined for fresh insights.

  • The Beautiful Struggle: an Analysis of Hip-Hop Icons, Archetypes and Aesthetics
    THE BEAUTIFUL STRUGGLE: AN ANALYSIS OF HIP-HOP ICONS, ARCHETYPES AND AESTHETICS ________________________________________________________________________ A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board ________________________________________________________________________ in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY ________________________________________________________________________ by William Edward Boone August, 2008 ii © William Edward Boone 2008 All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT The Beautiful Struggle: an Analysis of Hip-Hop Icons, Archetypes and Aesthetics William Edward Boone Doctor of Philosophy Temple University, 2008 Doctoral Advisory Committee Chair: Nathaniel Norment, Ph.D. Hip hop reached its thirty-fifth year of existence in 2008. Hip hop has indeed evolved into a global phenomenon. This dissertation is grounded in Afro-modern, Afrocentric and African-centered theory and utilizes textual and content analysis. This dissertation offers a panoramic view of pre-hip hop era and hip hop era icons, iconology, archetypes and aesthetics and teases out their influence on hip hop aesthetics. I identify specific figures, movements and events within the context of African American and American folk and popular culture traditions and link them to developments within hip hop culture, iconography, and aesthetics. Chapter 1 provides an introduction, which includes a definition of terms, statement of the problem and literature review. It also offers a perfunctory discussion of hip hop

  • “Yo Nací Caminando”: Community-Engaged Scholarship, Hip Hop As Postcolonial Studies, and Rico Pabón’S Knowledge of Self
    [JWPM 5.2 (2018) 169-192] JWPM (print) ISSN 2052-4900 https://doi.org/10.1558/jwpm.37841 JWPM (online) ISSN 2052-4919 J. Griffith Rollefson “Yo Nací Caminando”: Community-Engaged Scholarship, Hip Hop as Postcolonial Studies, and Rico Pabón’s Knowledge of Self J. Griffith Rollefson is an established lecturer University College Cork in popular music studies at University College National University of Ireland Cork, National University of Ireland and author Department of Music of Flip the Script: European Hip Hop and the Poli- Sunday’s Well Road tics of Postcoloniality (University of Chicago Press, Cork, T23 HF50 2017). He has served on the faculties of music at Ireland the University of Cambridge and at the Univer- [email protected] sity of California, Berkeley, where he also served as UC Chancellor’s Public Scholar. His book Crit- ical Excess: Watch the Throne and the New Gilded Age is forthcoming from the University of Michi- gan Press. Abstract This article outlines an open, decentred and unfinished vision for community-engaged scholar- ship in hip hop studies. Employing examples from the Hip Hop as Postcolonial Studies initiative at the University of California, Berkeley, it elaborates in theory and method how (and why) hip hop’s community knowledges might (and should) be better valued and leveraged in university contexts. The article argues that hip hop is itself a form of open (and vulnerable) scholarship; that hip hop’s core praxis of “knowledge of self” (KoS) is an intellectually and artistically rigorous form of (counter)history; that hip hop is postcolonial studies.
