Hip Hop Versus Rap The Politics of Droppin' Knowledge

Hip Hop Versus Rap The Politics of Droppin' Knowledge

'What is the real hip hop?' 'To whom does hip hop belong?' 'For what constructive purposes can hip hop be put to use?' These are three key questions posed by hip hop activists in Hip Hop Versus Rap which explores the politics of cultural authenticity ownership and uplift in London’s post-hip hop scene. The book is an ethnographic study of the identity role formation and practices of the organic intellectuals that populate and propagate this ‘conscious’ hip hop milieu. Turner provides an insightful examination of the work of artists and practitioners who use hip hop ‘off-street’ in the spheres of youth work education and theatre to raise consciousness and to develop artistic and personal skills. Hip Hop Versus Rap seeks to portray how cultural activism which styles itself grassroots and mature is framed around a discursive opposition between what is authentic and ethical in hip hop culture and what is counterfeit and corrupt. Turner identifies that this play of difference framed as an ethical schism also presents hip hop’s organic intellectuals with a narrative that enables them to align their insurgent values with those of policy and to thereby receive institutional support. This enlightening volume will be of interest to post-graduates and scholars interested in hip hop studies; youth work; critical pedagogy; young people and crime/justice; the politics of race/racism; the politics of youth/education; urban governance; social movement studies; street culture studies; and vernacular studies. | Hip Hop Versus Rap The Politics of Droppin' Knowledge

Hip-Hop Authenticity and the London Scene Living Out Authenticity in Popular Music

Hip-Hop Authenticity and the London Scene Living Out Authenticity in Popular Music

This book explores the highly-valued and often highly-charged ideal of authenticity in hip-hop — what it is why it is important and how it affects the day-to-day life of rap artists. By analyzing the practices identities and struggles that shape the lives of rappers in the London scene the study exposes the strategies and tactics that hip-hop practitioners engage in to negotiate authenticity on an everyday basis. In-depth interviews and fieldwork provide insight into the nature of authenticity in global hip-hop and the dynamics of cultural appropriation globalization marketization and digitization through a combined set of ethnographic theoretical and cultural analysis.

Turkic Soundscapes From Shamanic Voices to Hip-Hop

Turkic Soundscapes From Shamanic Voices to Hip-Hop

The Turkic soundscape is both geographically huge and culturally diverse (twenty-eight countries republics and districts extending from Eastern Europe through the Caucasus and throughout Central Asia). Although the Turkic peoples of the world can trace their linguistic and genetic ancestries to common sources their extensive geographical dispersion and widely varying historical and political experiences have generated a range of different expressive music forms. In addition the break-up of the Soviet Union and increasing globalization have resulted in the emergence of new viewpoints on classical and folk traditions Turkic versions of globalized popular culture and re-workings of folk and religious practices to fit new social needs. In line with the opening up of many Turkic regions in the post-Soviet era awareness of scholarship from these regions has also increased. Consisting of twelve individual contributions that reflect the geographical breadth of the area under study the collection addresses animist and Islamic religious songs; the historical development of Turkic musical instruments; ethnography and analysis of classical court music traditions; cross-cultural influences throughout the Turkic world; music and mass media; and popular music in traditional contexts. The result is a well-balanced survey of music in the Turkic-speaking world representing folk popular and classical traditions equally as well as discussing how these traditions have changed in response to growing modernity and cosmopolitanism in Europe and Central Asia. | Turkic Soundscapes From Shamanic Voices to Hip-Hop

Vital Performance Historically Informed Romantic Performance in Cultural Context

Vital Performance Historically Informed Romantic Performance in Cultural Context

Historically Informed Performance or HIP has become an influential and exciting development for scholars musicians and audiences alike. Yet it has not been unchallenged with debate over the desirability of its central goals and the accuracy of its results. The author suggests ways out of this impasse in Romantic performance style. In this wide-ranging study pianist and scholar Andrew John Snedden takes a step back examining the strengths and limitations of HIP. He proposes that many problems are avoided when performance styles are understood as expressions of their cultural era rather than as simply composer intention explaining not merely how we play but why we play the way we do and why the nineteenth century Romantics played very differently. Snedden examines the principal evidence we have for Romantic performance style especially in translation of score indications and analysis of early recordings finally focusing on the performance styles of Liszt and Chopin. He concludes with a call for the reanimation of culturally appropriate performance styles in Romantic repertoire. This study will be of great interest to scholars performers and students to anyone wondering about how our performances reflect our culture and about how the Romantics played their own culturally-embedded music. | Vital Performance Historically Informed Romantic Performance in Cultural Context

Intergovernmental Relations State and Local Challenges in the Twenty-First Century

Who governs? On the surface such a question should be easy to answer by simply reading the law. Taking a deeper examination it is one of the most hotly contested questions often without a clear-cut answer. With recent controversies in the United States related to confederate monuments transgender rights and unconventional oil and gas development for example the answer is: it depends and is subject to change.

Venus in the Dark Blackness and Beauty in Popular Culture

Venus in the Dark Blackness and Beauty in Popular Culture

In this second edition of the remarkable and now classic cultural history of black women’s beauty Venus in the Dark Janell Hobson explores the enduring figure of the Hottentot Venus and the history of critical and artistic responses to her by black women in contemporary photography film literature music and dance. In 1810 Sara Baartman was taken from South Africa to Europe where she was put on display at circuses salons museums and universities as the Hottentot Venus. The subsequent legacy of representations of black women’s sexuality—from Josephine Baker to Serena Williams to hip-hop and dancehall videos—refer back to her iconic image. Via a new preface Hobson argues for the continuing influence of Baartman’s legacy as her image still reverberates through the contemporary marketization of black women’s bodies from popular music and pornography to advertising. A brand new chapter explores how historical echoes from previous eras map onto highly visible bodies in the twenty-first century. It analyzes fetishistic spectacles of the black booty with particular emphasis on the role of Beyoncé Knowles in the popularization of the bootylicious body and the counter-aesthetic the singer has gone on to advance for black women’s bodies and beauty politics. By studying the imagery of the Hottentot Venus from the nineteenth century to now readers are invited to confront the racial and sexual objectification and embodied resistance that make up a significant part of black women’s experience. | Venus in the Dark Blackness and Beauty in Popular Culture

Delivering on the Promise of High-Impact Practices Research and Models for Achieving Equity Fidelity Impact and Scale

Delivering on the Promise of High-Impact Practices Research and Models for Achieving Equity Fidelity Impact and Scale

Research shows that enriching learning experiences such as learning communities service-learning undergraduate research internships and senior culminating experiences – collectively known as High-Impact Practices (HIPs) – are positively associated with student engagement; deep and integrated learning; and personal and educational gains for all students – particularly for historically underserved students including first-generation students and racially minoritized populations. While HIPs’ potential benefits for student learning retention and graduation are recognized and are being increasingly integrated across higher education programs much of that potential remains unrealized; and their implementation frequently uneven. Colleges are eager to use the HIP nomenclature for recruitment promoting equity for traditionally underserved student populations and preparing lifelong learners and successful professionals. However HIPs defy easy categorization or standardized implementation. They rely on fidelity quality and consistency – being “done well” – to achieve their learning outcomes; and above all require attention to access and equity if they are to fulfill their promise of benefitting all student populations equally. The goal of Delivering on the Promise of High-Impact Practices is to provide examples from around the country of the ways educators are advancing equity promoting fidelity achieving scale and strengthening assessment of their own local high-impact practices. Its chapters bring together the best current scholarship methodologies and evidence-based practices within the HIPs field illustrating new approaches to faculty professional development culture and coalition building research and assessment and continuous improvement that help institutions understand and extend practices with a demonstrated high impact. For proponents and practitioners this book offers perspectives data and critiques to interrogate and improve practice. For administrators it provides an understanding of what’s needed to deliver the necessary support. | Delivering on the Promise of High-Impact Practices Research and Models for Achieving Equity Fidelity Impact and Scale

Course-Based Undergraduate Research Educational Equity and High-Impact Practice

Course-Based Undergraduate Research Educational Equity and High-Impact Practice

Co-published with the Council on Undergraduate Research Undergraduate research has long been recognized as a high-impact practice (HIP) but has unfortunately been offered only to juniors and seniors and to very few of them (often in summer programs). This book shows how to engage students in authentic research experiences built into the design of courses in the first two years thus making the experience available to a much greater number of students. Research that is embedded in a course especially general education courses addresses the issue of how to expand undergraduate research to all students. Research has shown that students who have early experiences in undergraduate research are more likely to pursue further research prior to and after graduation. This is also an issue of social justice because it makes the benefits of undergraduate research available to students who must work during the academic year and in the summer. It is widely accepted that the skills developed through undergraduate research help prepare students for their future careers. The book addresses all aspects of the topic including:- What are appropriate expectations for research in the first two years- How to design appropriate course-based research for first- and second-year students- How to mentor a class rather than individual students- How students can disseminate the results of their research- Possible citizen-science projects appropriate for the first and second years- Providing additional resources available to support course-based research in the first two yearsDesigned for faculty at four-year and two-year colleges – and including examples from the sciences the social sciences and the humanities – the strategies and methods described can be adapted to disciplines not specifically mentioned in the book. Many faculty are hesitant to engage first and second year students in undergraduate research because they worry students don’t know enough to conduct authentic research in their discipline because they worry about the time it will take to develop activities for these students and because they wonder how they can mentor a whole class of students doing research. The authors have successfully dealt with these issues and provide examples of how it’s done. | Course-Based Undergraduate Research Educational Equity and High-Impact Practice
