  • A Study of the Rastafarian Student Organization at the University Of
    Cultural Production and the Strugg le for Authenticity: A Study of the Rastafarian Student Organiza tion at the University of the Western Cape A mini thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Arts in Anthropology in the Department of Anthropology/Sociology, University of the Western Cape. By: Alton Riddles Supervisor: Dr. Emile Boonzaier May 2012 KEY WORDS Culture Authenticity Recognition Belonging Semblance Rastafarianism University of the Western Cape Performance Rainbow nation South Africa i ABSTRACT This thesis explores the precarious nature of authenticity as it manifested itself in the activities of H.I.M. Society, the Rastafarian student organization at the University of the Western Cape. Ethnographic research was conducted, to explore the above mentioned issue, which involved observation of various activities and in depth interviews. I also inquired about outsiders’ perspectives on Rastafarianism and H.I.M. Society in particular. Authenticity, as it is conceived in this thesis, is about what a group of people deem culturally important. Three important ideas follow from this. The first is that not everyone in a group agrees on what is important. Put differently authenticating processes tend to be characterized by legitimizing crises. Therefore, secondly, social actors need to invest cultural ideas, objects and practices with authenticity. Lastly the authenticating processes are predicated on boundaries not necessarily as a means of exclusion but as fundamental to determining the core of cultural being and belonging. As this relate to H.I.M Society I inquire into the activities and symbols used to authenticate notions about their culture.

  • Pioneer Hip Hop Execs Team up for New Venture
    Pioneer Hip Hop Execs Team Up for New Venture Written by Robert ID3329 Thursday, 15 February 2007 07:18 - Pioneering Urban music execs Steve Rifkind and Lee “Skill” Resnick will combine forces for a joint venture strategic alliance between the former’s SRC and the latter’s SouthEast Music to form one of the premier creative Urban marketing and promotion ventures in the world. Rifkind, the founder of the original hip-hop Street Team guerilla marketing concept, for which he holds the patent, will join with Resnick, whose company specializes in a non-traditional approach to creative marketing and promotional strategies in reaching the urban consumer and building brands. “This pairing between Lee and I is a long time coming. His ideas about Urban marketing are a logical extension of my own street team concept in the early ‘90s,” said Rifkind. “This combination is the perfect example of the whole being stronger than the sum of its parts.” Rifkind’s SRC Records is distributed through Universal Motown, just releasing Akon’s Konvicted album, which debuted at #2 on the Hot 200 and almost 300k in first-week sales, producing two hip hop hit duets with Eminem (“Smack That”) and Snoop Dogg (“I Wanna Love You”). Rifkind’s Loud Records produced such legendary hip-hop acts as Wu Tang Clan, Big Pun and Xzibit. Resnick’s SouthEast Music’s Marketing and Distribution maintains relationships not just in Urban music, but film, fashion, video games and entertainment, reaching out to “tastemakers” and “influencers” to plan creative and innovative marketing solutions from the initial strategic planning stages to execution.
