The present study sought to answer the following questions: Is there a correlation between time spent watching rap music videos and and perception of the imagery of women in rap music videos shown? 2) Is there a correlation between the perception of the imagery of women in rap music videos and their attitudes toward women? There were a total of 53 AAFA who participated in the study. The participants completed the Background Questionnaire and Attitude Toward Women Scale for Adolescents (AWSA). They then viewed approximately 10 minutes of rap music videos that portrayed women negatively, and completed the Opinions on Music Videos survey and the General Questions about Rap Music survey. The data were analyzed with two crosstabs matching time spent watching rap music videos per week with feelings about images of women in rap videos shown, and acceptance of images of women in rap videos shown. A t-test was used to compare AWSA scores and acceptance of images of women in rap music videos shown. A one-way ANOVA was used to compare AWSA scores and feelings about women in rap music videos shown. The results of the study suggest that the more time spent watching rap videos, the less likely the participants would accept the negative images of women in these videos as negative and vice versa. No relationship was found between time spent watching rap videos and feelings about the images portrayed. Regardless of the participant's AWSA score, it did not correlate with her perceptions of the images of women in rap music videos shown. Implications for research and practice were then discussed.

Streszczenie:

This essay will use the views of two African American newspaper columnists, E. Belfield Spriggins of the Louisiana Weekly and Dave Peyton of the Chicago Defender, to argue that though New Orleans and Chicago both occupied a primary place in the history of jazz, in many ways jazz was initially met with ambivalence and suspicion. The struggle between the desire to highlight black achievement in music and the effort to adhere to tenets of middle class respectability play out in their columns. Despite historiographical writings to the contrary, these issues of the influence of jazz music on society were not limited to the white community. Tracing these columnists through the years of 1925-1929, a critical point in the popularity of jazz, reveals how considerations of black innovation and economic autonomy helped alter their opinions from criticism to ownership.

Streszczenie:

A região entrecortada pelos rios Pilões, Nhunguara, Sapatu e Pedro Cubas era a mais rica zona de mineração de Eldorado (São Paulo), e o local para onde foram levados os primeiros escravizados que aportaram na região. Com a decadência da mineração, no final do século XVIII, muitos escravizados foram abandonados ou alforriados, transformando-se em camponeses, autônomos do ponto de vista econômico e religioso. O poder religioso era independente do clero oficial e concentrava-se nas mãos de leigos. Dessa forma, desenvolveu-se um catolicismo popular marcadamente diferente do catolicismo romano e repleto de influências africanas, e a Recomendação das Almas era uma de suas práticas. Porém, a partir dos anos 50 do século XX, o modo de vida tradicional dos negros da região, caracterizado pela autonomia, começou a sofrer fortes abalos devido às mudanças provocadas pelo corte ilegal do palmito, pela construção da estrada, pela implantação de unidades de conservação e pela ameaça da construção de barragens ao longo do Rio Ribeira de Iguape. Paralelamente, as práticas típicas do catolicismo popular entraram em declínio, e a Recomendação das Almas continuou a ser realizada apenas na região de Pedro Cubas. No entanto, as comunidades negras da região mobilizaram-se conjuntamente contra as adversidades e se auto-identificaram como membros de comunidades remanescentes de quilombo, e originaram as seguintes comunidades remanescentes de quilombo na região: Pedro Cubas, Pedro Cubas de Cima, Sapatu, Nhunguara, São Pedro, Galvão, Ivaporunduva, André Lopes, Pilões e Maria Rosa. Dessa forma, lutam contra as barragens, pelo direito de cultivar a terra e pela titulação de seu território.
The region between the rivers Pilões and Pedro Cubas had the richest gold mines of Eldorado (Sao Paulo), and it was there that were introduced the first slaves in the region. After the decline of the mining cycle, at the end of the XVIIIth century, many slaves were let by themselves or alforriados, and became peasants, with great autonomy concerning their economic and religious life. The local religious life was practically independent of the official clergy, and was administered by lay people. In this way, the local communities developed a popular Catholicism quite different from the Roman Catholicism, full of African influence, and the Recomendação das Almas was one of its practices. However, since the 1950s the traditional way of life of the black people of the region, characterized by the autonomy, begun to suffer impact caused by changes the illegal palm heart extraction, by the construction of the road, by the implantation of the conservation unities and by the threat of the dam constructions along the Ribeira River. At the same time, many practices of the popular Catholicism declined and the Recomendação das Almas continues to be realized only in the region of Pedro Cubas. Nevertheless, the black communities of the region organized themselves against adversities and recognized themselves as a former quilombo, and originated the communities of Pedro Cubas, Pedro Cubas de Cima, Sapatu, Nhunguara, São Pedro, Galvão, Ivaporunduva, André Lopes, Pilões and Maria Rosa. In this way, they fight against the dam, for the right of planting and for the land property of their territory.

Streszczenie:

Race is a potent discourse within the world of pop culture, particularly in television where viewers are witnessing more racial diversity in scripted shows. However, show creators must maintain standards that emphasize distinct social roles among characters in order to appeal to large heterogeneous audiences. These roles tend to be characterizations of racial stereotypes that often lead to biased opinions and inaccurate perceptions of minority groups. Previous studies detail that racial biases in media adversely shape public opinions about African Americans and depress the desire for racial integration. This seems somewhat confounding since the shift in programming towards racial diversity presumes increased affirmation, importance, and validity of African Americans and other minority groups. This study investigates the affective response of Black and White college students to cross-race relationships on TV and the perceived realism of these media depictions. Since these relationship forms are now becoming part of television's pop culture, and pop culture reflects co-existing attitudes and values in society, it is important that they be examined. Additionally, examining cross-racial relationships may help in understanding larger race relations in the United States.

This study examines recurring motifs and personas in hip-hop. Interviews with influential hip-hop scholars, writers and music industry personnel were conducted and analyzed using qualitative methods. Interview subjects were selected based on their insider knowledge as music critics, hip-hop scholars, ethnomusicologists, publicists, and music industry positions. The vast majority of constructed imagery in hip-hop is based on a single persona, the gangsta. This qualitative analysis reveals why gangsta personas and motifs have become the de facto imagery of hip-hop. Gangsta imagery is repeatedly presented because it sells, it is the most readily-available role, and because of music industry pressures. This study is significant because gangsta imagery impacts African American social knowledge and the generalized perception of blackness. Gangsta imagery has also served to alienate black culture and has caused rifts in the African American community.

Esta pesquisa aborda a importância das águas do Rio Ribeira de Iguape para a história do Vale do Ribeira. As águas desse rio foram exploradas desde o início da colonização. No século XVI, partiam expedições em busca de metais preciosos na sua foz. Nos dois séculos seguintes, as águas do Rio Ribeira continuaram a ser exploradas e metais preciosos foram descobertos no Alto e no Médio Vale, onde foram estabelecidos arraiais mineradores. No final do século XVIII, a mineração entrou em decadência, e o arroz passou a ser cultivado em escala comercial. A lavoura acompanhava o leito do Rio Ribeira e dos seus afluentes, já que águas do rio garantiam a fertilidade dos solos, energia para mover engenhos d\'água e local de atraque para as canoas. Entre os séculos XVII e XIX, muitos africanos aportaram na região para o trabalho nas minas e nas lavouras. Africanos e europeus inscreveram, nas águas do Rio Ribeira, seus mitos e crenças, dentre os quais destacaremos os negros d\'água. Também, nas mesmas águas, foi lavada a Imagem do Senhor Bom Jesus de Iguape, o santo mais festejado do Vale do Ribeira. O Rio Ribeira também era utilizado em ritos de adivinhação e cura. Neste trabalho, os mitos e as crenças foram analisados dentro da perspectiva atlântica, ou seja, entendendo as formações culturais criadas em solo americano como elaboradas a partir do encontro de povos diversos, postos em contato sob o escravismo e possuidores de diferentes visões de mundo. Abordamos a evangelização ocorrida na África Central e no Vale do Ribeira e destacamos que, nos dois lados do Atlântico, o catolicismo foi reinterpretado segundo crenças locais. Analisamos a presença das crenças africanas no Vale do Ribeira, especialmente o culto aos mortos e os ritos de adivinhação e cura.
This research approaches the importance of the waters of Ribeira de Iguape River to the history of Ribeira Valley. This river has been exploited since the beginning of the colonization. In the sixteenth century, expeditions used to search for precious metals from river mouth. In the following centuries, the waters continued to be exploited and precious metals were discovered in the Upper and Middle Valley, where metal mines were established. In the late eighteenth century, mining went into decline and rice began to be cultivated on a commercial scale. The rice crop followed the bed of the Ribeira River and its tributaries, due to the fertility of soils, the energy devices to move water and the docking sites for canoes. Between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries, many Africans landed in the region to work in mines and plantations. Africans and Europeans inscribed in the waters of Ribeira River their myths and beliefs, among them, we will highlight the water negro (negro dágua). Also, in the same waters it was washed the image of Lord Good Jesus of Iguape, the most celebrated saint of Ribeira Valley. The Ribeira river were also utilized for rites of divination and healing. Myths and beliefs were analyzed within the Atlantic perspective, understanding the cultural formations created on American soil as compiled from the meeting of diverse people, brought into contact under slavery and owners of different worldviews. We discussed the evangelization occurred in Central Africa and in Ribeira Valley, then we highlighted that, on both sides of the Atlantic, the catholicism was reinterpreted according to local beliefs. We also analyzed the presence of African beliefs in the Ribeira Valley, especially the cult of the dead and the rites of divination and healing.

Streszczenie:

Stephen Foster is acknowledged as America’s first composer of popular music. His legacy can be seen in the number of songs that are embedded in our cultural heritage – “Oh! Susanna,” “Beautiful Dreamer,” and “My Old Kentucky Home,” are but a very few of his most popular works. Stephen Foster’s songs have been incorporated into every facet of American culture including both popular and classical musical culture, television, and film. However, his legacy is complicated as it is tainted by connections to blackface minstrelsy in some works. This document seeks to trace the threads of racial sensitivity and cultural appropriation in works arranged for choral ensembles based on Foster’s songs. The arrangements chosen for this document provide a glimpse into three distinct periods of American history – pre-Civil Rights, the Civil Rights Era, and post-Civil Rights. Using a process of comparative analysis of the music and text of the originals to that of the arrangements, this document traces expected and unexpected changes in music and text associated with each period. Perhaps through the continued study of one of America’s first purveyors of popular culture, we can begin to understand our national legacy of racism more clearly and find a path towards reconciliation.

Over the past several years I have been on a quest to locate a world beyond the one I’ve been presented. I am interested in the history of atomic particles - like everything that radiates off of a monument (both literally and those things that are metaphorically reified) - invisible things, and the ways in which these things insect beyond our knowledge systems. This inquiry takes many forms. Mine is a conceptually based practice linked to record keeping and time, and the ways in which these concepts find plurality within our culture; or more pointedly, the importance that we attach to “time” and “the record”, as they relate to our “legacies”, “cultures”, or “the canon”; our histories and the ahistorical, the prehistorical, fantasies, the things that never happened but could’ve, imagined futures and parallel universes.

Streszczenie:

Emmett Till’s murder inspired many novelists, poets, and artists. Recently, Till has inspired several feminist young adult novelists who are introducing his case in an intersectional way to a new generation of readers. The works that I have studied are A Wreath for Emmett Till (2003) by Marilyn Nelson, The Hunger Games Trilogy (2008-2010) by Suzanne Collins, and Midnight without a Moon (2017) by Linda Jackson. By examining how the authors employ a feminist perspective, readers can understand how they are striving for a more inclusive, intersectional feminist movement. This is significant because the publishing industry, specifically for Young Adult Literature, is not diverse. These works, while often overlooked by critics, may be the first exposure most young readers have to Emmett Till. Each of these novels could be used to teach readers not only about Till’s case, but also about current events to help foster a multicultural consciousness.

Pełny tekst źródła

Streszczenie:

This thesis is concerned with popular music's working of time. It takes the experience of time as crucial to the negotiation of social, political or, more simply, existential, conditions. The key example analysed is the funk style invented by legendary musician James Brown. I argue that James Brown's funk might be understood as an apprehension of a minor temporality or the musical expression of a particular form of negotiation of time by a minor culture. Precursors to this idea are found in the literature of the stream of consciousness style and, more significantly for this thesis, in the work of philosopher Gilles Deleuze on the cinema in his books Cinema 1: The Movement-Image and Cinema 2: The Time-Image. These examples are all concerned with the indeterminate unfolding of lived time and where the reality of temporal indeterminacy will take precedence over the more linear conventions of traditional narrative. Deleuze???s Cinema books account for such a shift in emphasis from the narrative depiction of movement through time the movement-image to a more direct experience of the temporal the time-image, and I will trace a similar shift in the history of popular music. For Deleuze, the change in the relation of images to time is catalysed by the intolerable events of World War II. In this thesis, the evolution of funk will be seen to reflect the existential change experienced by a generation of African-Americans in the wake of the civil-rights movement. The funk groove associated with the music of James Brown is discussed as an aesthetic strategy that responds to the existential conditions that grew out of the often perceived failure of the civil rights movement in the 1960s. Funk provided an aesthetic strategy that allowed for the constitution of a minor temporality, involving a series of temporal negotiations that eschew more hegemonic, common sense, compositions of time and space. This has implications for the understanding of much of the popular music that has followed funk. I argue that the understanding of the emergence of funk, and of the contemporary electronic dance music styles which followed, would be enhanced by taking this ontological consideration of the experiential time of minorities into account. I will argue that funk and the electronic dance musics that followed might be seen as articulations of minority expression, where the time-image style of their musical compositions reflect the post-soul eschewing of a narratively driven, common sense view of historical time.

Streszczenie:

This work highlights specific lexical items that have become racialized in specific contextual applications and tests how these words are cognitively processed. This work presents the results of a visual world (Huettig et al 2011) eye-tracking study designed to determine the perception and application of racialized (Coates 2011) adjectives. To objectively select the racialized adjectives used, I developed a corpus comprised of popular media sources, designed specifically to suit my research question. I collected publications from digital media sources such as Sports Illustrated, USA Today, and Fortune by scraping articles featuring specific search terms from their websites. This experiment seeks to aid in the demarcation of socially salient groups whose application of racialized adjectives to racialized images is near instantaneous, or at least less questioned. As we view growing social movements which revolve around the significant marks unconscious assumptions leave on American society, revealing how and where these lexical assignments arise and thrive allows us to interrogate the forces which build and reify such biases. Future research should attempt to address the harmful semiotics these lexical choices sustain.

Streszczenie:

This thesis works to establish a literary theory and cultural studies as a theoretical lens with which we can view harmful emerging pop culture phenomena like the so-called alt right. The premise is supposed in three parts, with the first being a simple introduction to the Pepe character and how he is grounded in literary studies through a comparison of Sherlock Holmes and his early fandom. The second part is a survey of the legacy of Jim Crow and I present the evidence that Pepe is very much Crow’s spiritual successor in their shared preoccupation with white anxiety. The third is a discussion of language in which I bridge the use of memes as language with how that language effectively communicates. Ultimately, Pepe the Frog is able to tap into the pop culture collective through a democratizing of language facilitated by digital spaces on the internet, and his proliferation is made readily viral by the racist language he speaks through ala Jim Crow era anxieties.

Streszczenie:

The purpose of this study was to examine potential relationships between African-centered cultural factors and psychological outcomes in adults who are of African descent. Current literature was reviewed in order to provide an understanding of the development and conceptualization of African-centered theories of worldview and acculturation as cultural constructs. Four hypotheses were tested, 1a) greater African-centered worldview is expected to be associated with higher self-esteem, and 1b) lower psychological distress, 2a) relationships between African-centered worldview and self-esteem, and 2b) African-centered worldview and psychological distress would be moderated by acculturative strategy. Survey packets containing the Worldview Analysis Scale (Obasi et al., 2009), the Measurement of Acculturation Strategies for People of African Descent scale (Obasi & Leong, 2010), the Outcome Questionnaire (OQ-45; Lambert et al., 2004) and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSE; Rosenberg, 1965), were given to 99 participants in a community sample of people of African descent. Two hierarchal regressions were used to calculate the associations. Significant relationships were found between African-centered worldview and self-esteem, as well as African-centered worldview and psychological distress. Insufficient statistical power may have contributed to the inability to identify a moderator effect for acculturation strategy. Results were discussed in relation to building strength based cultural approaches to psychological theory, research, and practice.

In what ways do such media offer insights into aspects of cultural practices that inform and represent matters of key significance in people's quotidian lives? This dissertation investigates these two general questions within four distinct Ghanaian popular visual media genres: popular video-films, political cartoons, death announcement posters, and vehicle inscriptions (`mottonyms'). Regarding the Ghanaian popular video-films, I examine how the films (re)present the issue of cyberfraud (`sakawa') in Ghana. I contrast the films' (re)presentation of this phenomenon vis-a-vis that of certain official pronouncements on the issue, and argue that a critical approach to the `sakawa film series' reveals a robust counter discourse to official denunciations. My investigation of political cartoons, examines some of the works of the artist Akosua in the Ghanaian newspaper, Daily Guide. Here I focus on how Akosua's works, utilizing popular cultural allusions, function as an alternative media discourse in contemporary Ghanaian sociopolitical debates. As regards the death-announcement posters, I investigate how, situated as they are within certain well-known Ghanaian cultural values and practices, including funerary caskets, these posters remediate these cultural mores in the context of rapid social change. Lastly, regarding the mottonyms, I explore, through interviews with vehicle owners, the interactions between specific life experiences that spurred them to coin these inscriptions and the cultural fabric within which they have done so. Conceptually, this dissertation draws not only from cultural anthropology and its subfields of visual culture, and religion, media and culture, but also significantly from global/international media studies and from emergent works on African cultural and media studies. The harnessing of interdisciplinary conceptual frameworks, such as phenomenological and social constructionist approaches, to interrogate Ghanaian popular visual media in this dissertation advances our current thinking in the above-mentioned fields in several ways. For example, the social constructionist (Lee-Hurwitz 1995; Morgan 2005) and phenomenological approaches (Langsdorf, 1994; Lanigan 1998) that guide the investigation of vehicle inscriptions and death-announcement posters reveal purposeful intentionality in human communication. Furthermore, this dissertation, with its focus on popular video-films, press cartoons, death-announcement posters and vehicle inscriptions concretely elucidates recent expansive theorizations of `media'. Here `media' is understood as practices of mediation (de Vries 2001; Meyer 2003; Zito 2008), and broadly conceived to transcend narrowly defined traditional mass media formats (Downing 1996). In the latter case, I advocate for global/international media scholars to begin to pay equal `field service' to popular media artifacts within the current ambit of the `practice paradigm' in global/international media studies (Postill 2010:4; Couldry 2004).

This dissertation examines narratives about racialized gender, sexuality, and class through media images of black Americans with HIV/AIDS. Through textual analysis of media sites featuring HIV/AIDS and blackness (The Announcement, Precious, and Marvelyn Brown’s website, www.marvelynbrown.com), this project analyzes how the politics of respectability—a set of precepts that govern how black men and women can present themselves in public spaces to align with white ideals of gender and sexuality—construct black people in media representations of HIV/AIDS. This work examines how respectability politics deployed in media representations of HIV/AIDS and black Americans reclaim notions of acceptable black sexuality by reifying age-old stereotypes of black masculinity femininity. I argue that the goal of respectability politics in countering anti-blackness through limited parameters for acceptable presentations of racialized gender and sexuality continue to challenge and complicate media representations of HIV/AIDS and black Americans.

There are myriad definitions of the terms race, ethnicity and culture in social sciences literature. Often these terms are used interchangeably with no conceptual rationale. This study aims to contribute to our greater understanding of the similarities and differences between the conceptualization and use of race and culture as they are experienced by African American adolescents. Multiple regression analyses and factor analysis were conducted for 223 African American high school aged students who completed a survey about racial and ethnic identity and a variety of positive youth development outcomes. Results showed preliminary support for race and culture being distinguishable yet intricately related. Results are also presented that compares the relationship of either a racial or cultural orientation on various youth development outcomes.
