DIVSM 3000-11 DIVSM 3000-11 Globalization and Hip Hop
Fall 2020
Research Paper Guidelines
Due Date: December 10th, 2020
For this 4 – 6 page paper, you will select and investigate an artist, (or an element of Hip Hop culture) that is currently in global circulation. Keep in mind the question of “voice” and whether or not this artist is providing a voice that otherwise is not or has not been heard. You should be able to discuss the ways this artist performs for profit, for community, and/or for personal revelation.
You should also explore in what ways the artist / subject provides exposure to any of the four traditional elements [Break Dancing, Rapping (EmCeeing), Graffiti art, and DJing or turntablism] or one of the related aspects of Hip Hop Culture [Beatboxing, mashups and beat production, fashion, Slang, or Street Entrepreneurialism] etc.
Be sure to include:
1. The scope and global reach of the artist / subject.
2. A discussion of the path taken by the artist to become known worldwide.
3. The interconnections between global capitalism and the rise of the artist/subject.
4. The relationship of the artist / subject to U.S. Hip Hop culture.
5. Whether or not you feel that they are representing a voice otherwise unheard.
6. Background to your first exposure to artist / subject.
Guidelines:
• Your subject of analysis must be from 2015-2020, but I’m flexible with that: you should be able to verify their date / origin of creation (e.g. magazine issue, first air date on television, film, space or location, gallery, or song, etc.).
• Include a picture or link to the artist / subject.
• Identify in what ways your topic represents some aspects of globalization.
• Discuss your personal reaction to this subject? What makes you react in this way?
• How do you conceptualize race as an element within globalization? i.e. what cultural or “racial” factors have impacted the rise of the artist / subject you have chosen? Are they being authentic to their own culture?
All papers must use a standard format:
• 4 – 6 pages, typewritten, double-spaced, 12-point font, 1” margins.
• Include at least 3, preferably 4 or more sources. (Primary sources are “their” voice, secondary sources are discussions about their voice)
• The main referencing formats are: Chicago Style; Use of footnotes or endnotes when quotations are used or ideas are paraphrased, including a standard bibliography of sources. Or MLA Style: the use of parenthesis when quotations are used or ideas are paraphrased; Including a standard work cited page of sources.
