Hiplife Music In Ghana: Postcolonial Performances Of Modernity, Nii Kotei Nikoi

Doctoral Dissertations

This research project examines the operation of development discourse in popular culture, how it is reproduced, contested and how alternatives are imagined. It is a post-development study of the production and consumption of Ghanaian hiplife music videos and culture. It explores how hiplife makers challenge development discourse and advance alternative ideas of social transformation. Considering the enduring (and damaging) legacies of colonialism, hiplife as a site of relative freedom of expression is fertile for the potential production of a decolonial vocabulary to heal colonial wounds— undoing colonial sensibilities imposed on the colonized.

Strengthening Cross-Identity Collaborations And Relationships: A Critical Conversation, Sharon Radd, Gretchen G. Generett, Mark A. Gooden Nov 2019

Strengthening Cross-Identity Collaborations And Relationships: A Critical Conversation, Sharon Radd, Gretchen G. Generett, Mark A. Gooden

Organizational Leadership Faculty Scholarship

Cross-identity collaborations operate within the larger societal context of whiteness and other forms of domination. Thus, individual actors within cross-identity collaborations must navigate this context and their collaborations with consideration for the interpersonal/social, functional, material, and emotional risks and precautions. Given historical patterns of domination, exploitation, and oppression, caution is understandable and advised, yet can undermine forward progress. In order to productively examine this challenge, this session focuses on cross-identity collaboration among those who engage in the preparation of school leaders, and more specifically, those who prepare school leaders with a central focus on social justice.

Jurnal Komunikasi Indonesia

Remaja memiliki kebutuhan untuk membentuk identitas dan diakui lingkungan sosialnya. Dalam hal ini, media sosial mengekstensi para remaja untuk memenuhi kebutuhan tersebut.

Hal ini pada gilirannya berdampak pada polemik pengelolaan privasi di media sosial. Penelitian ini menggunakan paradigma post-positivis dan pendekatan kualitatif dengan strategi penelitian konstruktivis untuk mempelajari pemahaman remaja dalam memperlakukan privasi dengan mengacu pada …

When The Truth Is Decided By Media Buzzers: The Case Of Power Balance, Moh Rifaldi Akbar

Jurnal Komunikasi Indonesia

Tulisan ini akan membahas peran buzzer pada industri iklan. Tulisan ini memberikan argumen bahwa bukan kualitas barang yang menentukan banyaknya pembeli sebuah barang tetapi buzzer. Buzzer membentuk Word of Mouth(WoM) ke tengah khalayak, menciptakan mitos, dan dipercayai secara sadar atau tidak sadar. Melalui media baru, kemajuan industri dan teknologi menyebabkan khalayak mendapatkan pesan berantai semakin cepat dan mudah. Tidak heran jika lakunya sebuah produk bukan lagi ditentukan oleh kualitas, melainkan ditentukan oleh pembicaraan dari orang-ke-orang. Pada tahun 2006, gelang kesehatan bertajuk Power Balance (PB) menjadi salah satu aksesoris paling laku di Dunia. Atlit, selebriti, sampai politisi menggunakan gelang yang "dimitoskan" …

Jurnal Komunikasi Indonesia

Makalah ini membahas pertanyaan seputar ‘Apakah komunitas blogger yang direartikulasikan dari ‘hubungan hegemonik konservatif’ memiliki potensi untuk memberdayakan blogger Indonesia?’ Atau apakah berpotensi mereproduksi bentuk lain dari hubungan kekuasaan untuk blogger Indonesia, seperti dunia maya yang tidak selalu menjamin demokratisasi.

Gender-Based Perceptions Of The 2001 Anthrax Attacks: Implications For Outreach And Preparedness, Christopher Salvatore, Brian J. Gorman

The majority of these studies have focused on violent and property crime; little research has focused on gender-based perceptions of the threat of bioterrorism. Using data from a national survey conducted by ABC News / Washington Post, this study contrasted perceptions of safety and fear in …


Class, Gender, And Mediated Labor Activism In Globalizing China, Siyuan Yin Oct 2019

Class, Gender, And Mediated Labor Activism In Globalizing China, Siyuan Yin

Doctoral Dissertations

My dissertation analyzes the relationships between mediated labor activism and the formation of counter-hegemonic forces in contemporary China. As China becomes a seemingly ideal model to justify the normalization of global capitalism, this study seeks to demonstrate how resistance from disenfranchised groups can challenge hegemonic power. Rural-to-urban migrant workers, who have been among the most disadvantaged groups since China’s economic reform of the 1980s, suffer from institutionalized discrimination, economic exploitation, and social exclusion. Approaching the analysis from an intersectional feminist lens, I explore the politics and possibilities of working-class resistance in searching for a just and equal China. Based on …
