Abstract Details

2015, Doctor of Philosophy, Ohio State University, Spanish and Portuguese.
The dissertation examines how marginalized Brazilians use hip hop culture as a space in which to build community, demand citizenship and its associated benefits, and contest social, economic, racial, and national exclusion. Special emphasis is placed on how the Brazilian hip hop community uses rap music and visual culture and negotiates urban and digital space to achieve these goals and build connections to similar populations around the globe, taking advantage of increased connectivity through globalization. I also locate Brazilian hip hop in both Brazilian and Latin American musical, historical, and political contexts through a comparative theoretical framework that examines transculturation, antropofagia (cultural cannibalism), mestizaje, and sampling. Ultimately, with hip hop culture and rap music as spaces of contestation, I argue that hip hoppers connect globally to challenge traditional notions of nation and citizenship in an effort to access rights, increase visibility, and build community.
