Chan, assistant director of the Asian American Resource and Cultural Center, has been manager of the Pyro Paddlers since the team formed in 2008. “The opportunity came to me as part of my work with our community outreach programs, connecting students, faculty and staff with the Asian community in Chicago,” he said. The colorful wooden boats, carved to look like dragons, carry 21 people, 18 of them paddlers. The others are a drummer, who pounds a drum to set the pace for paddlers; a flag catcher, perched atop the front of the boat to grab a flag at race’s end to time the boat’s run; and an official of the American Dragon Boat Association, who sits in the stern and steers. UIC is a member of the Chinatown Chamber of Commerce, through the Office of External Affairs. Chinatown hosts the granddaddy of all local dragon boat races — the Chicago Dragon Boat Race for Literacy, staged annually in Ping Tom Park — and back in ’08, UIC was invited to field a team of paddlers. Chan put out the call to students, faculty, staff and alumni, and the Pyro Paddlers were off to the races. It’s a perfect name for the team, considering that UIC sports teams are the Flames and the school mascot is Sparky D. Dragon.

  • Williams, Hipness, Hybridity, and Neo-Bohemian Hip-Hop
    HIPNESS, HYBRIDITY, AND “NEO-BOHEMIAN” HIP-HOP: RETHINKING EXISTENCE IN THE AFRICAN DIASPORA 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 Maxwell Lewis Williams August 2020 © 2020 Maxwell Lewis Williams HIPNESS, HYBRIDITY, AND “NEO-BOHEMIAN” HIP-HOP: RETHINKING EXISTENCE IN THE AFRICAN DIASPORA Maxwell Lewis Williams Cornell University 2020 This dissertation theorizes a contemporary hip-hop genre that I call “neo-bohemian,” typified by rapper Kendrick Lamar and his collective, Black Hippy. I argue that, by reclaiming the origins of hipness as a set of hybridizing Black cultural responses to the experience of modernity, neo- bohemian rappers imagine and live out liberating ways of being beyond the West’s objectification and dehumanization of Blackness. In turn, I situate neo-bohemian hip-hop within a history of Black musical expression in the United States, Senegal, Mali, and South Africa to locate an “aesthetics of existence” in the African diaspora. By centering this aesthetics as a unifying component of these musical practices, I challenge top-down models of essential diasporic interconnection. Instead, I present diaspora as emerging primarily through comparable responses to experiences of paradigmatic racial violence, through which to imagine radical alternatives to our anti-Black global society. Overall, by rethinking the heuristic value of hipness as a musical and lived Black aesthetic, the project develops an innovative method for connecting the aesthetic and the social in music studies and Black studies, while offering original historical and musicological insights into Black metaphysics and studies of the African diaspora.

Almost every moment of the life of sports celebrity Bruce Jenner had been detailed, scrutinized and commented on since rumors began to surface that Jen- ner was reportedly considering matching outward appearance to inner self. Then, on Feb. 7, Jenner was involved in a car accident in Malibu, California, and the attention became frenzied. TMZ noted that, despite the incident, Jenner’s reality TV series was still going ahead as planned. TMZ had been reporting on the incident to the point of a pathological obsession—posting photos and videos of the wrecked cars involved while People magazine carried a blow-by-blow account of the accident declaring that Jenner was given a breathalyzer test.
