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

White Hip Hoppers Language and Identity in Post-Modern America

White Hip Hoppers Language and Identity in Post-Modern America

This book examines language and identity among White American middle and upper-middle class youth who affiliate with Hip Hop culture. Hip Hop youth engage in practices that range from the consumption of rap music and fashion to practices like MC-ing (writing and performing raps or rhymes) DJ-ing (mixing records to produce a beat for the MC) graffiti tagging and break-dancing. Cutler explores the way in which these young people stylize their speech using linguistic resources drawn from African American English and Hip Hop slang terms. She also looks at the way they construct their identities in discussions with their friends and how they talk about and use language to construct themselves as authentic within Hip Hop. Cutler considers the possibility that young people experimenting with AAVE-styled speech may improve the status of AAVE in the broader society. She also addresses the need for educators to be aware of the linguistic patterns found in AAVE and Hip Hop language and ways to build on Hip Hop skills like rhyming and rapping in order to motivate students and promote literacy. | White Hip Hoppers Language and Identity in Post-Modern America

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.

Hip Heritage and Museum Practices in Contemporary Hybrid Markets

Hip Heritage and Museum Practices in Contemporary Hybrid Markets

Focusing on how museums prioritize and produce content Hip Heritage demonstrates how economic issues play an ever-larger role in determining how cultural heritage is being framed and presented in contemporary heritage museums. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork conducted by the authors at seven museums over the course of five years this book offers an in-depth analysis of heritage museums in Nordic Scandinavian and North American contexts. It investigates how economic realities coupled with the cultural contexts in which museums operate affect how these institutions organize manage and develop their collections to make themselves relevant in society. Once charged with the primary task of educating citizens about their cultural identity and history national museums and heritage organizations are also under pressure to rethink their market demands and meet stakeholders’ increasing interest in growing visitor numbers and expanding economic returns. Simultaneously many museums are part of a cultural sector with diminished public funding and increased competition for the existing financing. Against this background this book questions: ‘When the budget is tight whose heritage counts most?’ It considers museums as arenas for heritage politics in action on the local national and international levels as well as at the institutional level. Hip Heritage will appeal to scholars and students engaged in the study of ethnology heritage museum studies marketing leisure and tourism public folklore and sociology. | Hip Heritage and Museum Practices in Contemporary Hybrid Markets

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
