Show moreEthnomusicological works often examine music as an expression of identity. In these studies, music is seen as the product of culture and ethnicity. This thesis reverses this approach and instead explores how musical experiences, rather than only reflecting identity, can produce identity. Within the context of the United States of America, a multicultural society, the Irish music tradition is generally understood to belong to the community of the Irish diaspora. This music is closely associated with a specific population that is delineated by both a common ethnicity and culture. However, this work considers the resulting impact upon identity construction when individuals from outside of this community participate in its music. This thesis examines how and why individuals in the United States, regardless of their ethnic background, incorporate an Irish-American cultural identity into their personal identity through participation in the Irish-American music-culture. This work demonstrates that membership in the Irish-American music community is determined more by musical participation, personal interactions between individual members, and a respect for the tradition than by an Irish ethnic connection. It also shows how Irish music in an American context is uniquely suited for the construction and reconstruction of identity by its participants.

Show moreDuring World War II, the Selective Training and Service Act of 1940 required conscientious objectors (COs) who opposed any form of military service to perform "work of national importance under civilian direction." The program that carried out this alternative service was the Civilian Public Service (CPS), in which approximately 12,000 pacifists served at 151 camps established across the nation during the war. Some of those camps were in Florida and Mississippi, where CPS men worked with state and local public health authorities to combat diseases that plagued the South's poor, including hookworm and malaria. Though an advance over previous options for COs, CPS was not always well-received, by either the American people or the men who served within it. This dissertation will examine the camps in Florida and Mississippi to assess the success (or lack thereof) of the CPS alternative service program during the war, and also to explore the larger question of how well the United States upholds and protects the right of its citizens (particularly, nonconformist citizens) during a time of national crisis.

Show moreHistorian, translator, publisher, novelist, and journalist, polemicist and political activist during the French Revolution, Louise de Keralio (1756–1822) challenged prevailing gender roles by her ambitious incursion into areas considered the sole province of men. Yet, in apparent contradiction with her bold actions, authoritative voice and ambitious writing projects, she also reiterated gender stereotypes and made antifeminist remarks, much to the perplexity of recent critics such as Annie Geffroy (“Louise de Kéralio-Robert, pionnière du républicanisme sexiste”). I argue that this contrast between her “masculine” endeavors and authoritative voice, on the one hand, and her espousal of normative femininity, on the other, may best be understood by analyzing the discursive strategies she adopts to express her gender-nonconforming ambitions. From her earliest writings, a fundamental dilemma pits her female body, her “corps petit,” viewed in Rousseauian terms as consigned to modesty and domesticity, against her “âme grande” with its ambitious longing to do something for the benefit of society as a whole, to publish and enact her equally Rousseauian progressive ideas. They reveal that, for Keralio, writing is enabled by the repetition of restrictive gender norms, even as it is undercut by them. Her attempt to substitute for this binary thinking of gender in terms of either/or a utopian logic of both/and ultimately results in the silencing of her female-gendered, yet powerful, male-coded political voice during the evolution. Even so, her ideal of both/and endures.

Show more"Let us try to make each other happy" tracks a Creek-Georgia frontier as it emerged in the American Revolution and lasted to the turn of the nineteenth century. There multiple groups of Creeks, Americans, and Europeans grappled with ideas of sovereignty and the right of self-determination. The Creek-Georgian frontier, however, embraces conceptualizations of frontiers as places where misunderstanding bred distrust, fear, localized violence, and eventually, racial hatred, challenging older definitions of frontiers as places of accommodation or mutual understanding. Multiple groups faced each other, and what they created was a place of terrible brutality where extremism, not compromise, was the natural way of things."Let us try to make each other happy" blends a New Indian History approach with recent interpretations of frontiers as areas of empire and nation-building. Italso carefully outlines how Creek decisions ordered Georgian lives on the backcountry, and embraces the importance of community-level identity in the study of Early American history. Ultimately, I utilize Creek, Georgian, and European threads to weave a twenty-year narrative of misunderstanding and violence that, as I argue, had tremendous bearing on the development of the southeast.

Show moreClaude Debussy participated in the world of literature, especially that of French symbolist poetry, throughout his life. His associations with important literary figures, his correspondence, and his music all make clear the significance that literature held for this composer. This study examines two sets of Debussy's songs, the Cinq poèmes de Baudelaire and the Ariettes oubliées, and their intersections between music and poetry. An understanding of the evolution of the symbolist movement explains the roles of the two poets concerned, Charles Baudelaire and Paul Verlaine, in the development of this new approach to literature. In addition, a consideration of the poems in their own right examines both the stylistic features and meaning of these texts. The study then turns to the music in order to assess the influence of the poetry on the songs themselves. The analysis takes into account not only musical aspects, such as form, motives, and harmony, but also the songs' personae. These figures, who stand behind the music and expand on the songs' texts, also establish the aesthetic positions of the songs, whether romantic, symbolist, realist, or a hybrid aesthetic. In turn, understanding these aesthetic positions allows for a comparison of the musical and textual styles, as well as a consideration of how Debussy's aesthetic compares to that of Baudelaire and Verlaine.

“Ma voix se dégagea”: Music, Risk, and the Heroine’s Voice in George Sand’s Malgrétout.
Creator
Marcoline, Anne
Abstract/Description
In “‘Ma voix se dégagea’: Music, Risk, and the Heroine’s Voice in George Sand’s Malgrétout,” I argue that Sand’s 1870 novel Malgrétout offers a view of the complexity of Sand’s thinking about sound, whether in a child’s holistic and mythical understanding of nature and music, in an artist-hero’s exhausting performances of genius, or in the erosion of the restraint and pragmatism in the heroine’s musical production. Returning through the novel, as a fulcrum on which the heroine, Sarah,...
Show moreIn “‘Ma voix se dégagea’: Music, Risk, and the Heroine’s Voice in George Sand’s Malgrétout,” I argue that Sand’s 1870 novel Malgrétout offers a view of the complexity of Sand’s thinking about sound, whether in a child’s holistic and mythical understanding of nature and music, in an artist-hero’s exhausting performances of genius, or in the erosion of the restraint and pragmatism in the heroine’s musical production. Returning through the novel, as a fulcrum on which the heroine, Sarah, balances her relationship with violin virtuoso, Abel, is the little children’s song Sarah invented, “La Demoiselle.” I propose that “La Demoiselle,” which begins as a musical exercise for a child, becomes for Sarah a means to measure Abel’s commitment to their relationship through his interpretation, arrangement, and dissemination of the little song. At stake in the returns and reiterations of Sarah’s song is a reconceptualization of the Romantic artist story through the heroine’s narrative of the discovery of the sound of her own voice and soul. Moreover, drawing from feminist care ethics, Sand studies, and sound studies, I propose that Sand’s narrative of vibrating instrumental chords, shivering bodies, and trembling voices, which explores the intersubjective and relational nature of sound, articulates a vision and ethics of people as fundamentally and vitally relational beings.

Show moreThis study addresses the current efforts taking place to rebuild New Orleans, Louisiana and focuses specifically on the 'Make It Right' (MIR) Foundation's model for rebuilding the Lower Ninth Ward with affordable green housing. The primary research question focused on the motivations, design implications, financial implications, advantages, and challenges found in the 'Make It Right' Foundation's housing and community reconstruction project, with the objective of determining the feasibility of implementing the MIR model in other locations. In order to evaluate the model two visits to the MIR site occurred, interviews with MIR employees and residents of the Lower Ninth Ward were conducted, and a questionnaire was sent to MIR homeowners. They were asked questions focusing on the motivations and attitudes surrounding MIR's presence in the Lower Ninth Ward, the advantages and challenges of rebuilding the area, and the reactions and awareness that resulted in MIR's development of affordable green housing. During site visits and the home tours, the sustainable features were noted, and multiple photographs were taken. After gathering the data from the interviews and site visits, the data was organized into emergent themes. One of the main themes that emerged was a sense of distrust that the residents of the Lower Ninth Ward have towards the government. Interviewees made claims that the government did not keep their promises after Katrina, withheld recovery money from them, and that the government wanted Lower Ninth Ward resident's property. Another occurring theme was that MIR has been a guiding force in green innovations and architecture in the area providing education and knowledge to contractors, which has subsequently lowered the cost of building green. This study allowed the researcher to evaluate the current methods being used in building affordable green homes as well as the opinions regarding MIR's efforts in rebuilding and their presence in the Lower Ninth Ward. This study provides information on the innovations being made to help reduce the cost of building green structures. Further research could be conducted to measure the homes affordability over the long-term. Additionally, a future study could be conducted to evaluate how the homeowners interact with the interior spaces of the MIR homes.

Show moreOne of the most important roles of the online instructor is to insure successful teaching by keeping students' interactions and discussions focused on topic, adding knowledge and expertise, and maintaining group harmony. Therefore, the success of online learning depends on the instructors' ability to acquire new competencies, rather than mastering the technology. Despite the growth in online instructor competency related studies, there is a lack of research regarding the instructors' roles and competencies from the distance learning students' perspective. This study was an attempt to explore distance learning students' perceptions of the roles and competencies defined by experts in the field. A comprehensive list of roles, outputs, and competencies of online instructors were provided to the students in order to rate the importance of each role and competency. It was the purpose of this study to compare the findings of this study with the findings of pervious studies. The population of this study included all distance learning graduate students (n = 328) currently enrolled in the School of Information Studies at Florida State University. Forty-two percent (n = 140) of the original student population of 328, completed and submitted the online survey. Roles and competencies were ranked by their importance; ranking was also achieved by taking the average of competency means across roles and competencies. Results for the top ten competencies in overall importance, based on highest mean rating are: Content Knowledge, Facilitation (discussion) Skills, Organizational Skills, Planning Skills, English Proficiency, Presentation Skills, Interpersonal Communication Skills, Learning Styles and Theory, Teaching Strategies/models, Skills with Internet Tools for Instruction. xiii The findings also determined that when compared to previous competency studies, there was a significant difference between students' perceptions and experts' perceptions regarding the most important online instructor competencies. Experts rated social competencies (interpersonal communication skills) number one in the list of top ten most important online instructor competencies; on the other hand, students rated intellectual competencies (content knowledge) number one in their list of top ten. However, both experts and students concurred regarding managerial competencies, because both rated at least four managerial skills in the list of top ten competencies. Distance learning students' responses indicated that instructors should give careful attention to the development and improvement of their intellectual, social, managerial, and technical roles and competencies. The importance of paying attention to the technical and managerial roles, in addition to intellectual and social competencies of the online instructor, were emphasized as critical factors for the success of discussion and interaction in the online environment. This dissertation has helped bridge the gap between the perceptions of distance education experts and distance learning students by providing a comprehensive list of important online instructors' roles and competencies. Due to the rate of change in technologies used to deliver instruction and related changes in higher education, it is recommended to do another study to identify more roles and competencies. This study should be expanded to include the perceptions of students in different disciplines and other countries.

Whether by choice or ignorance, this crucial aspect of Malta's wartime purpose is absent from the historiography. Through an examination of official papers and popular periodicals, this thesis aims to correct this imbalance. To provide proper context, the work first analyzes Anglo-Maltese relations and the empire's position in the latter half of the 1930s. The subsequent chapters analyze the media's role in the War Cabinet's return, and how Prime Minister Winston Churchill used the gallant tale of Malta to bolster morale at home and elicit the cooperation of the United States. Paired with strategic objectives around the Mediterranean basin, these propagandistic concerns ensured Britain's continued defense of the archipelago. Through the war's end, Malta served as both a physical and ideological bastion for the British Empire.

Show moreThe third quiet revolution to which my title refers is occurring now. In both literature and history, important changes are taking place, with more and more scholars seriously questioning the methods of each discipline, the validity ofthe disciplinary boundaries institutionalized by our universities, the texts (in a broad as well as narrow sense) typically studied, and the ideologies embedded within our various scholarly enterprises. Cathy Davidson, Revolution and the Word The quotation from Cathy Davidson's Revolution and the Word still rings true after 17 years, as the revolution in academia she describes continues to take place. Scholars are redrawing or simply omitting boundaries, including those of nations and cultures, as well as of forms of literature. For this reason, it is time to consider how, for too long, scholars have remained quarantined within the era in which they have developed their expertise, and that narrowness has hurt literary studies. The following thesis includes a discussion of this very topic, and then sets out to demonstrate by discussing the difficult topic of origins. Where does a literary form or genre 'originate?' Is it an author, a place, an era? I contend that it is all three and neither, and no era may lay claim to any distinct form. Since this is true, compartmentalizing English departments into specialties of eras and forms with such little communication does not allow for the more complex readings necessary for understanding. This complexity of origins is demonstrated thereafter with a discussion of captivity narratives, as they have lately been theorized to be the origins of the English novel. By complicating the history of the captivity narratives as a form, and by tracking some of the influences on the form as a whole, this thesis shows that the captivity narrative as a form also lacks a true origin. Why do we begin to separate history into eras, literature into forms, and therefore, compartmentalize ourselves into titles such as "Early Americanist?" Why do so few Early Americanists attend Renaissance conferences, for example? Reaching as far out and beyond as an MA thesis will allow, my project interrogates the captivity narrative in a transatlantic context by mapping out influences and political agendas, and by breaking the divide between Early America and the Renaissance. An example of surprising information I have found by do so is that the narratives written in the English language have been influenced by Arabic culture as early as Medieval times.

Show moreThis study examines the reception of Paul's discourse on foolishness in First Corinthians alongside other Pauline christological texts in order better to understand the relationship between theological epistemology, anthropology, and ethics in the biblical exegesis of Desiderius Erasmus and John Calvin. Paul's discourse on the relationship between folly and wisdom has received scant attention in the history of interpretation, despite its potential fertility for giving rise to any number of interesting uses in several areas of philosophy and theology. In the sixteenth century, these texts are of special interest in the context of humanist biblical theology whose practitioners, as a rule, consider themselves to be positing an anti-speculative form of theological method which is at odds with their scholastic forebears. Thus the foolishness of God, which is, according to Paul, wiser than the wisdom of human beings, takes on new significance in the hands of Erasmus and Calvin, who employ Paul's paradoxical constructions in the service of their assault on overly speculative forms of Christian theology that tend toward abstruseness and thereby become inaccessible to the layperson. Moreover, both Erasmus and Calvin spend a great deal of time in their exegetical works on First Corinthians attempting to deal with the problem of Christian eloquence that arises out of Paul's claim that he himself preaches an utterly simple gospel. In this regard, both exegetes argue for a return to a Pauline simplicity of preaching, which is, of course, modeled originally on the humility of Christ. Erasmus' and Calvin's interpretations of this portion of Paul's letter, furthermore, provide for a new way of thinking about the prospects of Erasmus and Calvin embracing a theologia rhetorica--a term coined by the historian of Renaissance philosophy Charles Trinkhaus to describe the trend in (primarily Italian) humanist theology to advocate a kind of theological discourse which seeks to move the heart, so to speak, more than to convince the brain. From this perspective, I argue that Erasmus and Calvin can be situated in the same intellectual milieu, and that their fuller appreciation of Pauline simplicity might be seen as a new stage in the development of theologia rhetorica. Finally, the study analyzes the influence Erasmus--primarily his Annotations on and Paraphrases of the New Testament, but also other of his theological works--had on Calvin's biblical commentaries and his theology more generally. This is a relationship that has been long neglected among Calvin scholars, despite the fact that Calvin is repeatedly explicitly engaged with Erasmus in his NT commentaries, and despite that fact that his "humanism" is widely recognized. Calvin can be seen following Erasmus, not only in certain philological conclusions, but also, as I will try to show, in advocating a particular kind of theological method as it relates to the foolishness of the cross (and not only when considering 1 Cor. 1-4, but also Phil. 2:6f.

Show moreThe life story of Farouk Lavell Kamma offers a glimpse into the changing cultural attitudes about popular music, race relations, and black national consciousness in 1950s and 1960s America. His reflectively reconstructed musical life story serves as a window on the experiences of an African-American musician during a socially dynamic period in American history. Between 1960 and 1975, Lavell – as a "soul" performer - participated in the genre of black popular music that became the vernacular soundtrack for the Civil Rights Movement. Musically, his career straddles the changes from doo wop to soul, and those changes in style are also reflective of social and cultural changes in black identity and consciousness. But the importance of music in the black community is not a contemporary phenomenon. Historically, music served as a conduit for social interaction and a vehicle for cultural expression, allowing African Americans to express the "double conscious" nature of their existence. Reconsideration of music as a processual activity -homologous to ritual, is necessary to understand the importance of music in the black community. In the century following emancipation, black communities encountered the forces of urbanization and secularization in their attempts to construct and maintain community. Music became a means by which individuals and groups within the community could locate themselves experientially in a changing social and cultural landscape. Urban blacks communities in particular allowed African Americans to find experiential accommodation in a variety of social and economic opportunities. The black church and jook joints were two important social spaces in which African Americans found experiential accommodation. Music was instrumental to African American expression and interaction in both the church and the jook joint. Music itself also served as a social space in which African Americans could locate themselves existentially. Lavell's life story reveals the complexity of the black urban landscape and the foundational role of music both in his life and in the life of the black community.

Show moreThis dissertation explores the founding of the National Federation of Music Clubs (NFMC) in 1898 and focuses upon the organization's activities from its beginning to 1920. It highlights how the original members were able to build a strong and influential institution that continues to support American music and musicians today. The creation of the NFMC is a result of two developments that occurred simultaneously during the nineteenth-century in the United States: 1) the proliferation of voluntary associations and organized reform movements and 2) the emergence of high art music culture across the nation. This project applies gender theory to examine the development of the notion of the domestic sphere as the appropriate domain for the female sex in the nineteenth century, and how women reacted to dominant ideologies through voluntary organizations that broadened their world. It also utilizes recent scholarship in women's history, social history, early American history, and institutional studies to present a survey of the types of organizations that formed and how they changed in response to the social and historical context. Even though the NFMC was originally a women's institution run by and for women, its larger goal was to disseminate art music culture through local club activities across the nation to all citizens. The growth of women's music clubs was part of the post-civil war boom of women's culture clubs. The concept of music as art developed and spread steadily during the nineteenth century, and at first the music clubs specifically cultivated art music based on western European traditions, which was associated with high class refinement. European ideals were perpetuated by an influx of European touring virtuosos and groups during the first half of the nineteenth century. In her article titled "Art Music from 1800 to 1860," Katherine K. Preston explains that the polished concerts performed by touring musicians not only circulated art music among Americans, but they also introduced higher performance standards, which resulted in increasingly higher expectations for refined performances from American audiences starting in the 1820s and 1830s and surging after 1840. These performances were supported and promoted by patrons and institutions, which ultimately led to the growth of art music appreciation as a movement throughout the nation. Michael Broyles clarifies that even though European style was dominant during the nineteenth century, American musical culture was uniquely formed by "historical events that have no European counterpart." He states that institutions controlled the character of the music in the United States. The support and dissemination of American art music happened through a combination of civic, philanthropic, private, and entrepreneurial activities, which included: the spread of art music through touring virtuosos and ensembles on a much larger scale than the first half of the nineteenth century, women's music clubs, orchestras, monster concerts and festivals, an increase in the number of American-born composers during the late nineteenth century, and a growing sense of patriotism at the turn of the century. During the late nineteenth and into the early twentieth centuries, women's music clubs became one of the most effective cultivators of classical music in the United States through their strong infrastructure and collaboration with prominent musicians, critics, and pedagogues. This project highlights the integral role of the NFMC's activities in many of the significant developments in the history of American music at this time. No other institution has been as ubiquitous or influential as the NFMC in the musical growth of the United States. This dissertation is the first detailed exploration of the history of this powerful institution.

Show moreWith the opening of London's Bankside Globe, "original practices" (OP) quickly became the buzzword for all theatrical efforts seeking to reconstruct an "authentic" Shakespearean environ for today's audiences. Scholarly discourse surrounding OP's potential influence on contemporary Shakespeare studies and current performance dynamics has certainly increased over the past decade, with a good portion of the commentary focusing on the new Globe's first few seasons of experimental development. And yet, despite several thorough analyses of their early attempts at recreating early modern playing spaces and staging conditions (architectural considerations aside), little has materialized from the Globe along the lines of an OP manifesto. By examining aesthetic antecedents and contemporary case studies (Globe OP productions, 2003-05), my dissertation will attempt to remedy this particular (if not peculiar, given OP's emphasis on praxis over gnosis) omission by grounding the present shift toward "reconstructive Shakespeare" squarely within the realm of a newly emergent neo-formalism and its reassessment of Renaissance playtexts.

Authors of neo slave narratives – postmodern renderings of the slave experience – illustrate this reciprocation as they engage in the (re)telling of historical events from the privileged vantage of the present. This study will explore the techniques neo-slave narrative authors use to merge history with imagination in the creation of a fictionalized history. Although critics have already noted the existing relationship between history and fiction in these narratives, how authors finesse the line between history and imagination remains under explored. The primary texts in this study are Toni Morrison's Beloved, Sherley Anne Williams' Dessa Rose, and David Bradley's The Chaneysville Incident. By examining the dynamics of the commingling of history and imagination, this study will contribute to an understanding of the role of rememory and/or embellishment in the neo slave narrative (sub)genre.

In this text, the reader will find some introductory information on adaptation theory and a brief overview of some scholarly debate; followed by the four scripts and analyses for each short film. The major focus of the analyses are on the adaptation process. They will also include each interpretation's relationship to the short story, theory, and how audience and genre affect the process. Two of the four scripts (the children's narrative and music video adaptations) have been filmed and edited together as well to further understand the adaptive mode.

According to Henry Cowell, experimentation and innovation were the special province of American modernist composers who needed a way to distance themselves from European values. The purpose of this thesis is twofold. First, it is an examination of the relationship between Henry Cowell's critical writing and his many disparate compositional styles, with the aim of untangling his complex musical aesthetic within its proper historical context. Consequently, the paper will also illuminate certain key issues with which Cowell remained engaged throughout his life, and to show how his thinking surrounding these issues changes over the course of his career. A contemporaneous critical analysis of Cowell's written advocacy and musical compositions is broken into chronological periods that span his entire career, showing his changing philosophies surrounding key issues.

Show moreProhibition sprang forth from the Progressive Era--the widespread reform movement that swept across the United States at the turn of the century. Responding to the dramatic changes in American society since the end of the Civil War, the Progressive movement encompassed a wide array of individuals and groups advocating a far-reaching program of economic, political, and social reform. For over forty years temperance zealots strived to impose their values on the whole of American society, particularly on the rapidly expanding immigrant population. These alien newcomers epitomized the transformation of the country from rural to urban, from agricultural to industrial., Rapidly-expanding urban centers were often the battleground between prohibitionists and supporters of the whiskey traffic. European immigrants, retaining their traditional values, gravitated to metropolitan areas such as Boston, New York, and Chicago. With the opening of the cigar industry in the mid-1880s, Tampa, Florida also began attracting large numbers of immigrants. Because of its pluralistic composition, the city might serve as a microcosm of the national struggle between the "wet" and "dry" forces., Using newspapers, oral interviews, and other primary materials, this study traces the various aspects of the prohibition movement in the city of Tampa. In addition, it details other peripheral areas associated with the advent of the Eighteenth Amendment including the drug and alien trades. Finally, this study examines the lengthy efforts to repeal the "Noble Experiment" and return legalized drinking back to Tampa.

Show moreMarie-Madeleine Jodin and Olympe de Gouges were among the women who believed that the new state created by the French Revolution would offer equality to men and women. Both of them published political pamphlets arguing in favor of their sex: Vues législatives pour les femmes by Jodin in 1790 and (among other writings) Déclaration des Droits de la Femme in 1791 by Gouges. Jodin’s pamphlet shows the extent of her culture: she quotes philosophers, uses examples from history, and offers some remarkable perspectives (on prostitution for instance). Gouges’ pamphlet, the most famous of all, is a clever pastiche of the 1789 Déclaration des Droits de l’Homme, and contains her thoughts on marriage,divorce, and illegitimate children. While neither one of them seems to have been truly active in women’s manifestations and clubs or developed contacts with the Assembly or other proto-feminists, both women participated in the Revolution and its events mainly through these writings. This paper explores Jodin’s and Gouges’ paradoxical participation (loud in print but silent in speech) and compares them to other female writers of the Revolution: was their participation atypical or did it represent the norm?

Show moreThis dissertation reports the results of a study about representations of (Black) women, sexuality, and gender relations in rap music lyrics. I explore the extent to which rap music lyrics reproduce or challenge gendered, racialized, and sexual stereotypes of African American women. I ask how men rappers differ from women rappers in depicting (Black) women and themselves. I show what qualities or practices, particularly sexual qualities and practices, are considered as feminine or womanly in rap music and hip-hop culture and how these qualities and practices are similar to or differ from mainstream gender hegemony. I examine whether and how rap music lyrics construct a hierarchical and complementary relationship between (Black) masculinity and femininity. I ask which feminine meanings and practices are treated as "pariah femininities" and point to features of hegemonic masculinity in hip-hop culture and the broader African American community. Finally, I ask whether and how gendering practices represented in rap music lyrics constitute resistant femininities and challenge White and middle-class gender hegemony. I created a database of rap songs on platinum albums with an original release date of 1984 through 2000. I randomly selected 450 songs from the sampling frame for content analysis. In general, I find that rap music both reproduces and contests prevailing gender, race, class and sexual ideologies and social structures. My analysis of rap lyrics suggests that many male rappers depict (Black) women as promiscuous sexual "freaks" and "bitches" who have sex with men for money and/or other material goods. In many lyrics, they describe their desire for and engagement in sexual activities with freaks and bitches, but they do not express respect. Some women rappers reproduce gendered and racialized stereotypes in their lyrics as well. Still, other women and men rappers challenge these negative images in their songs and offer alternatives. Instead of calling for a reserved or muted sexuality for African American women, a few women rappers depict themselves and other Black women in lyrics as sexually free, in control of their sexuality, and financially independent from men.
