Hip Hop and Feminism
*This is a discussion board post, see below for instruction. You don’t need to write it as a formal essay, just write is as a discussion post (reflection).* *You need to use AT LEAST 3 quotes from readings/films in each part, you don’t need to find any extra source, just use what I attached.* Part I: Please find, summarize and post a PDF to a recent academic (peer-reviewed) article that deals with hip hop and feminism. Who wrote the article? What is their position on the subject? Do you agree with their position? What kind of evidence do they use to support their claims/critiques/observations about hip hop and feminism? This portion of the response should be about two paragraphs and include at least two quotations from the text. ****Note: Rather than posting url links to your articles, in order to receive full credit, you must save the article as a PDF and attach it to your summary. Remember, other people need to be able to access your article easily. Providing access to the PDF is part of your assignment and you will lose points for not following directions. Your articles should come from peer-reviewed journals (no newspapers or magazines). Part II: This week we will also discuss the documentary film Hip Hop: Beyond Beats and Rhymes. Please pick a scene that resonated with you or you can personally relate to. Begin by briefly sketching the scene, telling us your thoughts in light of what we’ve been talking about in class. For this response, I’d like you to be particularly mindful (and even critical) of your own social identity. In other words, try to avoid speaking for or about other people’s viewpoints and identities. Tell us about your own perspective. I will expect a wide variety of recollections and discussions.
