Thursday Draft Questions - Natalie Stagnone
Natalie Stagnone
1. In Voicing Citizenship, Baez states that “voice is mediated by social media” (56). In what ways do you think that this is true in your life? Is social media an accurate portrayal of your life?
2. In the chapter Somos Mujeres Somos Hip Hop, Castillo-Garsow says that “hip hop can be a powerful tool for women in contexts of extreme violence and gender inequalities” (342). In what ways does this compare to using social media to tell your story? Does this idea hold true in other contexts?
3. The article Cyphers: Hip Hop and Improvisations explained how Cyphers are formed by rappers, beatboxers and/or breakers. In what ways does this compare to a fandango? Do you think that Cyphers are able to be as inclusive as fandangos?
4. The people of Ecuador can have very traditional views of marriage, in that the Catholic religion common in Ecuador believes in the marriage of a man and a woman and that women should live with the family until she is married. How do musicians such as Black Mama, Caye Cayejera, or Taki Amaru promote progressive and feminist ideologies?
