Thursday Draft Questions - Carter Rowell
1. In "Somos Hip Hop," the author states that "it is hip-hop feminism that is uniquely able to move women from the sidelines" (Castillo-Garsow 338). With this in mind, how is this participation in music similar to participation in social media as a method of fighting against social death? What makes these practices resilience practices?
2. In "Cyphers," it is discussed how one must "be also prepared for rupture, find pleasure in it, in fact, plan on social rupture" (Watkins and Caines 1). What do you think social rupture means in this case and why might it be important to plan for it and take pleasure in it?
3. In the BBC audio feature, one of the speakers states that is important to "be a student of the art" of music even if you aren't studying it in a formal school setting (BBC 19:30). What do you think she means by being a student of the art, and why would it be harder to make an impact with hip hop if one was not "a student of the art"?
4. In "Voicing Citizenship," the author says that social media allows women "to clearly distinguish their specific stories" (Baez 74). How is this different from other forms of media? How might other forms of media not allow women to distinguish their stories form one another?
