The lecture Abstract:
Music, Society and its Changing Dynamics
Music, society and culture are inextricably interlinked . Despite its all pervasiveness and ubiquitous nature existing in all societies in some forms, music reflects wide diversity and great deal of multiplicity significantly impacted and moulded by culture, ethnic traditions, time and space. The varied socio- cultural context widely shapes the way music is created, produced and consumed. With the social transformation and emerging socio- cultural realties which led to massive restructuring of every aspects of life and society : from culture to social relations, from politics to economy, it has extensively impacted the music as a cultural element , redefining the relationship between music and society. The presentation is an attempt to rediscover relationship between music and society in the backdrop of social change and wider structural transformation.

Putting Mano to Music: The Mediation
of Race in Brazilian Rap
Derek Pardue
In this article I demonstrate how Brazilian hip-hop participants mediate marginality
through discourses and practices of n?gritude. By taking a historical approach, I analyse
the competitive processes with which S?o Paulo hip-hoppers articulate sound and story
to a dynamic sense of personhood and social collectivity. The article contributes to
general theories of music and identity as well as to the present literature on the
"reterritorialization" of hip-hop culture throughout the contemporary world.
Keywords: Brazil; Hip-hop; N?gritude; Historiography
if you pay attention to what is being said in rap music, then you'll know that there is
something wrong going
on out there, because rap is reality.
(CC, a resident of FEBEM youth correctional facility and
a student of hip-hop street
dance, 1999)
"Reality" in the quote above indicates a complex set of conditions, including race,
class, gender and geography, that hip-hoppers mediate through the use of narration
and music. This process is one of performance and order as hip-hoppers profess a
desire to transform "reality" by opposing o sistema ("the system").1 In this manner,
local hip-hoppers emphasize the dynamic aspects of musical mediation, i.e. music
not simply as a conduit for expression but also as a mode of representation through
which performers can potentially change thei ...

The Politics of the Dancing
Body: Racialized and
Gendered Femininity
in Korean Pop
Chuyun Oh
The Politics of the Dancing Body: Theories,
Concerns, and Questions
Korean pop (hereinafter K-pop) singers have become viral in East Asia
recently as part of the "Korean Wave" or Hallyu. The term "Korean Wave"
was coined in China to refer to the popularity of Korean drama in the
1990s and now refers to the regional popularity of Korean products such
as drama, film, music, and fashion within Asia and visible in Western
countries, including France, Canada, and United States. Currently, K-pop
idols lead the global circulation of Korean pop culture, called "Second
Wave," which is often characterized as group performances driven
by dance music and groomed by conglomerate music agents like S.M.
Entertainment, YG Entertainment, and JYP Entertainment}
This chapter looks at the ways K-pop music videos, as a leading plat-
form circulating the "Second Wave," represent gendered femininity glob-
ally and offer a useful tool for investigating the multilayered implications
ofhybridity. It examines Girls' Generation (also known as So Nyeo Si Dae,
SNSD, or SoShi), one of the most popular K-pop idol girl bands in East
Asia, and their music videos, paying particular attention to "1'he Boys,"
released in 2011. Few studies have fully addressed Girls' Generation, and
Noh Kwang Woo's research examines how Girls' Generation fans con-
struct their personal identities through on line activities. 2 This chapter
54 CHUYUN OH
considers Girls' Generation's performances and their dancing bodies as
an intersection of race, gender, and a contemporary Koreanness. "The
Boys" is an interesting case study, given the representation of"ideal" fem-
ininity in the video and S.M. Entertainment's explicit global targeting to
US pop market.
Scholars have discussed how the transnational circulation of Korean
pop culture is a sign of global shift; its traits exist "in-between" homog-
enized globalization under Americanization and a more localized hetero-
genization. Other research efforts have dealt with the neoliberal capitalist
and nationalist aspects of l(orean Wave and how its "soft power" becomes
a .dualism ~o serve neoliber~l market values and national pride. 3 These pre-
vious stu~~es ~re worthwhde, as they offer a larger picture of K-pop's cul-
tural position 1n the world system, reallocating Korean nationality within a
contemporary context. Nevertheless, as a macro analysis, they avoid an in-
depth qualitative textual analysis ofK-pop products. Responding to the sud-
~en popular'.~Y of Korean pop culture globally, some scholars have sought
Koreanness that potentiaJly includes the unique emotional sentiment
of Han, a multifaceted sensibility of East Asian culture, a capitalized con-
sumerist 1nodernity, Confucianism and family values, and militarization.4

Pot song as a tool of development communicationParashar Kalita
The use of folk art in communicating a social messages is there across different media platforms. Folk art, in its different forms, sometimes works as an alternative media to the discourses of mainstream media and society. As an art of the grassroots it has its own place among the voices that shoot-up from the margin and periphery.
Pot song is a folk cultural form prevailing in Bangladesh from centuries, to spread information and education for the masses. Scroll canvases painted with colourful pictures of economical, religious or social issues are used while performing the Pot Songs.
“Rupantar” is a developing NGO of Bangladesh, registered in 1995 with the Social Welfare Department of the government of Bangladesh and the NGO Affairs bureau. It is currently working in raising awareness on different social issues like violence against women, gender equality, dowry system, and early marriage by using Pot Songs.
It is worthy to mention that during the time of Mahapurush Shrimanta Shankardev, a similar kind of art form Chihna Yatra was prevalent in Assam which was propagated by Shankardev for dissemination of developmental messages.
This research paper would try to highlight the activities carried out by Rupantar using pot song in Bangladesh and also try to analyze the reach and access of this traditional art form in the dissemination of the developmental messages.
Keywords: Culture, Pot Song, Traditional folk media, Development Communication

Questions are:
An integral relationship between language and music is a feature of many styles and traditions of music worldwide. How do language and music combine and reinforce one another in the kinds of music you listen to? Can you think of instances in which the line between what constitutes speech and constitutes music blurs?
So-called musical Africanisms are pervasive features of many music traditions outside of Africa, especially traditions that belong to or have been influenced by African diasporic culture. Listen to and discuss a range of music that is familiar to you. What Africanisms do you hear in the music from our course materials? What effect do they have on how the music sounds and makes you feel?
The American musician Taj Mahal has made a career of breaking down conventional musical boundaries and redefining world music as worldly music. Do some research on Mahal and locate recordings and videos of his that represent the range and diversity of his music. Write a report describing how Mahal has combined his musical founding in blues music, his broad conceptions of “African” music as encompassing all forms of African and African diasporic music expression, and his cosmopolitanism as a world music adventurer and pioneer.
Locate videos and recordings representing several different African and African diasporic music traditions such as Brazilian samba, Trinidadian calypso, American funk and hip-hop, Ghanaian highlife and South African mbaqanga. What distinctive features do you hear in each? Are there any underlying elements that cut across some or all of them?
What role does a jeli serve in Mande society? What does he or she sing about, and what is the principal musical instrument in our course materials that is used in the jeliya art form?
...
Using a theoretical concept by combining linguistic relativity and linguistic determinism – the
structure of our language; a set of specific selected words influence man’s perception of the world and language
use determines thought and action, data was collected and analysed qualitatively. The aim of the paper is to
illustrate the pertinence of culture in language use and actions with emphasis to explore the contextual symbolic
meanings of specific words in Africa nation states’ quest for peace. Specifically, in this paper we examine
carefully selected and uttered lexis and their significant meanings in Cameroon, South Africa and Uganda. The
results of the study confirmed that words have unique significance in relation to the culture, history and identity
of a particular African people. Words used in the Cameroon context, ‘all is well’, are mostly words of hope and
assurance in a war-free nation. The interpretation of some words, ‘Rhodes must fall’, generate disputes and
lead to violent actions in the search for peaceful and prosperous co-existence in an apartheid ridden country
like South Africa. Certain words of greetings, ‘you still exist’, though a total recall of pain and torture in a
period of turbulence and massacre in Uganda, portray gratitude and delightedness among citizens.
