Full textWhat ‘mystery’ (as cultural theorist Paul Gilroy puts it) lies behind the ‘outlaw forms’ that thrive in the rap production? Going further that the raciological and culturalist arguments commonly put forward, we will argue that the criminal imagery that prevails in rap (not simply in what is commonly and rigidly labelled as ‘gangsta rap’ but also in the myopically disregarded discourse of rappers generally referred to as ‘conscious’) finds its principle in what sociologist Loic Wacquant, building upon Pierre Bourdieu’s work, calls a ‘street habitus’

This dissertation treats emergent, outspoken class consciousness among performers of what I call "ghetto-gangsta" hip hop in Japan's Kansai region. Musicians, including Anarchy from the public housing projects in Mukaijima (Kyoto) and Shingo Nishinari from the day-laborer neighborhood of Nishinari Ward (Osaka), are earning prestige in spite of but also in part because of their humble origins. My ethnography of Kansai hip hop culture demonstrates that "marginality" is a source of prestige for performers who embody keywords including "ghetto," "gangsta," and "Korean," and who critique Japanese society using language typically associated with right-wing ultranationalists (uyoku). Chapter One traces the history of hip hop culture and performance in Japan, emphasizing the differences between Tokyo and Kansai as urban locales and as hip hop scenes. Chapter Two describes the ghettos ofHigashikujo (Kyoto), Mukaijima, and Nishinari Ward, discusses the terms in which ghetto populations are stigmatized, and analyzes the ambivalence that local musicians express towards their marginalized neighborhoods of origin. Chapter Three shows how Anarchy and Shingo Nishinari use ghetto-gangsta cultural capital to overcome socioeconomic marginalization and to "move up" ("haiagaru"). Chapter Four considers the role of "zainichi" (Korean long-term "residents") in hip hop performance, and the discrimination that persists against them despite the "Korea boom" ("Hanryu") of 1990s Japan. Chapter Five demonstrates that performers view "the nation" with as much ambivalence as they do their home neighborhoods. Some musicians critique contemporary politics and society using tropes associated with right-wing ultranationalists, while others use Kansai identity to mediate between personal and national identity, positing Kyoto and Osaka as the symbolic "center" of Japan. I conclude by discussing the importance ofKansai ghetto-gangsta hip hop for Japan studies and cultural anthropology, emphasizing how "mainstream" identities are contingent on those of the lowest socioeconomic classes. By revealing the importance of class, "race," and marginality to Japanese identity, I demonstrate that Japan is far less "other" than has usually been presumed in anthropological studies.

Full textThe aim of this thesis is to reveal the social and political implications of African-American rap music focusing on its most controversial as well as most popular genre, gangsta rap, and to provide a better understanding of the nihilistic gangsta discourse through a textual analysis. The social rooting of rap music and the media construction of the ghetto phenomenon usually tend to reduce hip hop to a pathological ghetto culture and to qualify the rappers' discourse as obscene and amoral. The purpose of this study is to attempt to move beyond the outrageous character of rap, apprehending it in its own literary complexity and thereby ultimately revealing its social-political dimension in respect to the social, historical, political, economical and cultural parameters

CAPES
Esta dissertação é o resultado do #TheGangstaProject, projeto de pesquisa científica sobre as masculinidades negras na cultura Hip Hop dos Estados Unidos da América, na transição dos séculos XX-XXI. A partir de um processo de investigação sobre a obra audiovisual dos rappers Jay-Z e 50 Cent pode-se identificar e decodificar as configurações dos tipos de masculinidades negras presentes nas narrativas dos videoclipes do Gangsta Rap, subgênero musical que subverteu e redefiniu o sistema iconográfico de representação sobre os homens negros, tradição herdada do passado colonial escravocrata reinventada no imaginário racial coletivo estadunidense a partir do fenômeno do Novo Racismo. Através de uma perspectiva interseccional, estabelecida entre as epistemologias étnico-raciais pós-coloniais e das dissidências sexuais e de gênero, desenvolveu-se um exercício de desmontagem simbólica das imagens produzidas historicamente sobre e pelos homens negros. Acionando os sistemas iconográficos enquanto dispositivos de dominação, controle e exploração simbólica dos corpos e subjetividades negras masculinas, esta dissertação tenta compreender como as práticas e os jogos de representação funcionam a partir dos marcadores sociais de raça e gênero, como também quais são seus efeitos nas políticas das masculinidades negras.

O RAP surge em bairros pobres da América como musicalidade significante da diáspora negra e no Distrito Federal assume o discurso de valorização das periferias. Nesse trabalho, a história de Brasília é apesentada pelo viés do RAP, desde a criação das cidades-satélites como espaços de exclusão até sua ressignificação dentro desse gênero musical. Nesse sentido, o RAP negro na cidade planejada serve para análise do projeto de exclusão racial na construção de Brasília e da resistência como projeto de identidade racial promovida pelo RAP-DF. Para tanto, historiciza-se o conceito de gangsta como identidade central do RAP-DF, bem como se analisam as representações das mulheres e das masculinidades negras nessa música. A pesquisa se baseou em fontes orais, canções e redes sociais.
The RAP appears in poor neighborhoods of America as a significant musicality of the black diaspora and in the Federal District it assumes the discourse of valorization of the peripheries. In this work, the history of Brasília is underlined by the RAP bias, from the creation of satellite cities as spaces of exclusion until their resignification within this musical genre. In this sense, the black RAP in the planned city is useful to the review of the project of racial exclusion in the construction of Brasilia and resistance as a racial identity project promoted by the RAP-DF. Therefore, the concept of gangsta is historicized as the central identity of RAP-DF, as well as the representations of women and black masculinities in this music. The research was based on oral sources, songs and social networks.

Full textGangsterrapen har toppat de svenska musiklistorna de senaste åren och musikgenrens kontroversiella budskap har fått människor i samhället att ifrågasätta vad gangsterrapens budskap förmedlar. Syftet med studien är att undersöka på vilket sätt en normalisering och uppmuntran av kriminalitet präglas i de nutida låttexterna och hur män och kvinnor skildras i koppling till samhällets maktaspekter. Metodvalet är en kvalitativ tematisk och språklig innehållsanalys med syftet att kunna granska låttexternas betydelse på djupet. Studien har genomförts på de 24 låtarna som har streamats flest antal gånger enligt P3’s DigiLista sedan 2018. Av resultatet framkommer att gangsterrapen uppmuntrar och romantiserar kriminalitet genom dess val av personliga pronomen och semantiken i låttexterna. Kvinnor och män skildras på ett ojämlikt sätt, där kvinnor framställs som objektifierade gentemot den hegemoniska manligheten som maskulina män likställs med. Makt har påvisats vara ett dominerande begrepp genom hela resultatanalysen och maktaspekten har förmedlat olika synvinklar i respektive tema. Makten som gangsterraparna får genom deras eftertraktade musik bidrar till att de kan komma att uppmuntra till kriminella handlingar genom deras val av språkbruk.

Estudo do gangster na literatura e no cinema hollywoodiano, desde seu surgimento no início da década de 1930, até a década de 1990. O gangster é analisado como uma figura mítica, ao passo que a produção de Hollywood é discutida como a moderna mitologia da sociedade americana. Para melhor explicar o gangster, é-lhe aplicada a metáfora do monstro, isto é, aquele ser comum a todas as sociedades humanas, cuja função é personificar todo o mal. Afirma-se que existem, no plano ideológico, dois tipos básicos de personagens nos filmes de Hollywood: os ideologicamente positivos e os negativos; ambos os tipos servem para reafirmar a ideologia dominante. O gangster é um tipo único, já que somente ele resiste a cumprir a função de reafirmação ideológica.

The thesis is about a fascinating channel flowing in southern Kolkota. The channel is heavily polluted inspite of being considered sacred in the City's memory. The thesis tries to understand and interrogate the residual memory of this channel to propose strategies for its rehabilitation. The study uses a three-fold approach: the historical analysis, to understand the causes of the present situation; the geographical analysis, to discern the extant physical conditions and spatial scales; followed by an integrative design proposal. In the contemporary debate of river restorations in India, where holy rivers have turned into polluted drains, Urban streams and channels are being considered as a viable means of interventions. Realizing this, the thesis shows possibilities on how the rehabilitation of a polluted urban cannel can be approached.
