230240 "New Media –Persistent Inequalities? Transamerican Politics of Gender and Race in Cyberspace and Queer-of-Diaspora HipHop" (S) (WiSe 2014/2015)

Contents, comment

The seminar takes a look at the musical genre of Hip Hop from an Inter-American postcolonial gender perspective. It examines how queer-of-diapsora artists throughout the Americas appropriate and alter the tradtionally male-dominated (and often heterosexist) art form, which is deeply embedded in capitalist consumer culture and modes of circulation, as a cultural site for rearticulating identities, racial and sexual politics. Further, the seminar discusses the role of new media technologies in light of their its unequal distribution and access and asks in how far new agents can counter the persistence of such inequalities via strategies of "postcolonial piracy".
