SoSe 17: Hip Hop and Hip Hop Studies in North American Culture

Martin Lüthe

Comments

The object of this seminar is to introduce students to two interrelated objects of study: hip hop culture on the one hand and its study within (primarily North American) academia on the other. Additionally, this seminar will serve as a laboratory for a presentation at the American Studies Association’s annual conference in November 2017 in Chicago in a panel on “Pedagogies of Dissent”. By explicating the “meta-perspective” on the study of hip hop within North American academic circles, we might be able to better access the crucial question of the kinds of cultural work hip hop has (and still does?) perform in North American culture. If we can agree that it makes sense to study, for example, the complex politics of hip hop, are the politics of hip hop studies similarly complex or more straight-forward? Put simply: let us try to accomplish more than to revisit and reiterate the undoubtedly rich and complex entangled histories of MCing, DJaying, graffiti, and breakdancing from the late 1970s on! close
