Time zone: Australia/Sydney

Short Abstract:

This panel explores ethnographic approaches to the study of hip-hop culture and invites papers with a focus on hip hop performance practice, in Australia and beyond, as a method of exploration, experimentation, expression, and politicking.

Long Abstract:

Australian research on hip-hop has a history of important contributions to international hip-hop scholarship, including Ian Maxwell’s early phenomenology of performance, Tony Mitchell’s work to globalise hip-hop studies and Sujatha Fernandes’ practitioner-based research on hip-hop in Australia and Cuba. Hip-hop artists from Australia have also made an impact in global hip-hop music, breaking and graffiti.

This panel this aims to bring together hip-hop practitioners, thinkers and writers from diverse and interdisciplinary fields with a focus on highlighting the insights anthropological approaches bring to hip-hop studies. A key intention of this panel is to open up a discussion about what people are doing with hip-hop in the contexts of their own lived experience and life worlds, as well as discussions surrounding the state of hip-hop and hip-hop studies within Australia and “where to from here?” As such the last “paper” in the panel will be reserved for a 20min “roundtable” type discussion between panelists. This panel is open to different types of presentations which may include formal papers, performances, or short film, keeping within the limits of the online format.
