Section Title:
Politics Hip Hop/Urban Space
Section Info:
Topic: The Politics of Hip Hop and Urban Space. Meets with LLS 296, CRN 52845, section DC. This course examines hip hop as a culture, politics, and commodity. We will investigate hip hop's emergence from and relation to urban landscapes deeply impacted by state surveillance, cuts in social welfare programs, immigration, and the global restructuring of capital. Our investigation will also consider the viability of a "politics of hip hop" in the wake of hip hop's rising value as a global commodity. This class will also analyze hip hop as a transnational site in which gendered and sexual identities are created, contested, and rearticulated.
