Course Description:
This course will shine a much-needed spotlight on the early history of hip hop and the challenges and possibilities of hip hop archival preservation in the digital age. First, we will consider the codes of conduct, principles, and practices applied by pioneers in the making of hip hop music and culture during the 1970s and 1980s. Our particular focus on New York City and Hartford will lay the groundwork for student engagement with various digital technologies geared towards assisting in the construction the Trinity International Hip Hop Festival Digital Archive. In embracing the role of the hip hop archivist, students will be exposed to the praxis of recovery and documentation facilitated through a combination of lecture, critical reading and discussion, training in oral history, metadata writing and indexing, and site visits and virtual museum tours. |
