  • “Just Ask Mi 'Bout Brooklyn:” West Indian Identities, Transgeographies, and Livin
    “JUST ASK MI ’BOUT BROOKLYN:” WEST INDIAN IDENTITIES, TRANSGEOGRAPHIES, AND LIVING REGGAE CULTURE A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Sabia McCoy-Torres August 2015 © 2015 Sabia McCoy-Torres “JUST ASK MI ’BOUT BROOKLYN:” WEST INDIAN IDENTITIES, TRANSGEOGRAPHIES, AND LIVING REGGAE CULTURE Sabia McCoy-Torres, Ph.D. Cornell University 2015 This ethnography explores the symbiotic relationship between the West Indian Diaspora and performance based, Jamaican originated, reggae culture. The field site was Brooklyn, New York. I analyze the intersections of reggae with racial and cultural identity construction, expressions of gender and sexuality, transnationalism, and place making practices. The formation of a local, West Indian led, reggae related economy is also a subject of focus. In order to theorize the impact West Indians have on Brooklyn and their subjectivities, I develop the concepts transgeographies and figurative citizenship. I argue that the West Indian Diaspora creates transgeographic cultural places that specific sociocultural practices and performance help to form. I offer that performance, action, and material alteration coalesce to physically transform space and imbue it with affect and sensory elements that together constitute links to the various nations of the Caribbean. The West Indian geographies of Brooklyn are thereby brought inside the Caribbean space expanding how geography is conceived of as an analytic. Emergent diasporic subjectivities are formed within these transgeographic cultural places, one of them being what I term figurative citizenship. This work also includes analyses of the relationship of West Indians to U.S.

However, the stakes have never been quite as high as they are today in the face of the streaming age. Fear of the extinction of movie theaters along with their offerings of experience are very much present; the solutions are still in development, and the future of cinemas is still unclear. Must the recipe of theaters and their programming be altered in order to attract more people? If the production of moving images is dependent on consumerism, and that the latter is strangled by the growing streaming platforms, where does that leave filmmaking, fan culture and, as an extension, the archiving of this artform? The following essay will provide a general overview of the evolution of movie-going history via its many responses to the ongoing advent of media consumer technologies, ending with the state it is in today and some insight on potential solutions.

Bloomberg, Department of Youth and Community Development Commissioner Jeanne Mullgrav and Senior Director for the Walmart Foundation Michelle Gilliard today announced a $5 million pledge to the Summer Youth Employment Program, which launches its 2011 season today. Walmart’s pledge, which brings private-sector support for the City’s summer jobs program to its highest level ever, will expand the program by up to 3,400 jobs and help mitigate cuts in State and Federal funding. The Mayor announced the donation at the Brownsville Recreation Center in Brooklyn where he also was joined by Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz, City Council Minority Leader James Oddo, Council Member Peter Koo and Council Member Eric Ulrich. “Walmart’s generous donation creates the most job slots the Summer Youth Employment Program has ever raised with private money,” said Mayor Bloomberg. ”This timely investment in our city’s youth comes at a moment when many young people are struggling to find employment and will give thousands the opportunity to take that critical first step toward their career goals.” “A summer job prepares a young person for a working life,” said Commissioner Mullgrav. “In the short term, these jobs mean extra money for tuition, books and household expenses.
