  • Get Attention; Who Huffs If It Is Treated Like Pétards Quand on L’A Traite De Racaille.20 Rabble
    ALEXANDRA PREITSCHOPF Between the Local and the Global: The Meaning of the Banlieue, Nation, Religion and Transnational Solidarity in French Muslim Rap GLOBAL CONVERSATIONS: An International Journal in Contemporary Philosophy and Culture Volume I, Number 01 (2018): 104-116 Society and Culture BETWEEN THE LOCAL AND THE GLOBAL: THE MEANING OF THE BANLIEUE, NATION, RELIGION AND TRANSNATIONAL SOLIDARITY IN FRENCH MUSLIM RAP Alexandra Preitschopf Abstract Regarding current trends in popular culture and especially in rap music, the case of France is especially interesting, considering that French rap artists often are children or grandchildren of immigrants and/or from Muslim background. Many of them are very critical concerning French policies and France’s colonial histo- ry or denounce the living conditions in the banlieues (suburbs), discriminations against migrants, racism, xenophobia or Islamophobia. This is often combined with references to Islamic religion and/or a self-presentation of the rappers as Muslim citizens and goes in many cases along with declarations of solidarity with Muslims in other parts of the world, especially in Palestine. In this sense, local, national and historical belongings (the Banlieue, France, the Maghreb,…) and a transnational, global Muslim identity (the Umma) interact and converge. However, this phenomenon is not found only in rap music; it rather reflects general contemporary socio-political processes in France, and Western Europe. On this basis, the present paper aims to take a closer look at se- lected lyrics of French Muslim rappers and analyse them in the wider context of ongoing debates on integration, Islam, laicism and multiculturalism. Keywords: Muslims in France, integration, identity, protest, rap, Islam, Palestine I.

For more information, please contact [email protected]. OUR SACRIFICE SHALL NOT BE REQUIRED: EXAMINING MATERNAL AMBIVALENCE AND REFUSAL IN BLACK MOTHERHOOD by CANDICE J. MERRITT Under the Direction of Tiffany King, PhD ABSTRACT This thesis articulates motherhood as both a liberal and black humanist formation that conditions black women to mother and attempts to untether maternity from the black female body. By centering maternal ambivalence—the desire and distaste for motherhood—in selected works by black women, this thesis argues that black motherhood is an ambivalent site for some black women. Motherhood can be a site of joy and displeasure; sacrifice and refusal; life and death.

These are core aspects of our humanity. Much of my work focuses on Haitian Vodou music. --La fin du monde by N.A.P. (1998) and Mauvais Oeil by Lunatic (2000) are considered breakthrough albums for lyrics that draw from the Arabic-Islamic lexical field. Since (2001) many artists have drawn from the Islamic lexical field in their raps. Kaotik, Paris, 2011, photo by Ben H. --One of the main causes for borrowing: the internationalization of the language setting in urban areas due to immigration (Calvet 1995:38). This project began with questions about the Arabic Islamic words and expressions used on recordings by French rappers from cities like Paris, Marseille, Le Havre, Lille, Strasbourg, and others. At first I was surprised by these borrowings and I wanted to find out how extensive this lexicon --North Africans are the main sources of Arabic inwas urban in rap France. and how well-known --Sub-Saharan Africans are also involved in disseminatingit is outside the of religiousrap. lexical field that is my focus.
