  • Hiphop Suomessa. Puheenvuoroja Tutkijoilta Ja Tekijöiltä
    HIPHOP SUOMESSA Hiphop on Yhdysvalloissa 1970-luvulla katukulttuurina syntynyt ja HIPHOP SUOMESSA 1980-luvulta lähtien maailmanlaajuiseksi kasvanut nuorisokulttuu- rin muoto. Hiphop Suomessa: puheenvuoroja tutkijoilta ja tekijöiltä Puheenvuoroja tutkijoilta ja tekijöiltä sisältää näkökulmia suomalaiseen hiphop-kulttuuriin ja sen osa- alueiden vaiheisiin koko sen tähänastisen historian ajalta: vuosien VENLA SYKÄRI, INKA RANTAKALLIO, 1983–1984 vaihteesta vuoden 2019 alkuun. ELINA WESTINEN & DRAGANA CVETANOVIĆ (TOIM.) Kirjassa tutkijoiden ja kulttuurin toimijoiden äänet kohtaavat: se sisältää 18 tekstiä, joiden kirjoittajat ovat tutkijoita, artisteja, tai- teilijoita, tanssijoita ja toimittajia. Kirja jakautuu temaattisesti kol- Sykäri • Rantakallio Westinen Cvetanović (toim.) meen osaan. Ensimmäinen osa käsittelee hiphopin kehitysvaiheita graffitin, breikin ja improvisoidun räpin osalta. Kirjan toinen osa keskittyy räppäämiseen ja räppiin. Aiheina ovat aitouskysymykset sekä yhteiskunnalliset teemat poliittisista kannanotoista uskontoon, etniseen taustaan ja sukupuoleen. Kirjan kolmannessa osassa DJ:t, toimittajat, tuottajat sekä hiphop-työpajojen vetäjät valottavat niitä osia hiphop-kulttuurista, jotka eivät suoraan näy yleisölle taiteelli- sen tuotannon tai performanssin muodossa. Omaehtoiseen taiteelliseen toimintaan kannustavana ilmaisumuo- tona hiphop vetoaa yhä uusiin nuorten sukupolviin. Hiphop on into himo, harrastus, oma ääni yhteiskunnassa sekä nykyään monille myös ammatti. Kulttuurista voi muodostua elämäntapa ja maail- mankatsomus:
