Recent scholarly analysis of hip hop's global popularity has focused on its role in defining and expressing particular forms of identity. However, coinciding with this interest are concerns from both scholars and policy makers about particular aspects of some hip hop which has been described as being: "materialistic, misogynistic, homophobic, racist, vulgar and violent" (Chang, 2007: 58). Consequently, public views influenced by the media and politicians have raised concerns and even directed blame at hip hop for social problems such as gangs, negative attitudes towards women and violent crime. Thus we have a globally popular form of physical culture that may be a key part of contemporary youth identity and lifestyles; but which has also been labelled as not only a menace, but a potential threat to society. Rarely are the positives of hip hop recognised, particularly those within youth education programs. This study examines how global/American hip hop culture has manifested itself within New Zealand youth culture, including how it influences appearance, behaviour, physical activity, sport, fashion, consumption and education. The overall research question focuses on how New Zealand youth define, consume and make sense of hip hop culture?Key words: Hip Hop, New Zealand, Physical Culture, Youth, Identity. Los análisis académicos recientes acerca de la popularidad mundial del hip hop se ha centrado en su papel en la definición y expresión de determinadas formas de identidad. Sin embargo, coincidiendo con este interés son las preocupaciones de los académicos y formuladores de políticas sobre aspectos particulares de algunos de los hip hop que ha sido descrito como: "materialista, misógino, homofóbico, racista, vulgar y violento" (Chang, 2007: 58). En consecuencia, la opinión del público, con la influencia de los medios de comunicación y los políticos, ha expresado su preocupación y la culpa, incluso dirigidos a hip hop para los problemas sociales como las pandillas, las actitudes negativas hacia las mujeres y los delitos violentos. Así pues, tenemos una forma global popular de la cultura física que puede ser una parte fundamental de la identidad de la juventud contemporánea y estilos de vida, pero que también se ha marcado no sólo como una amenaza, sino una amenaza potencial a la sociedad. Rara vez son los aspectos positivos del hip hop reconocidos, en particular aquellos en los programas de educación de la juventud. Este estudio examinase cómo la cultura hip hop mundial / América se ha manifestado en la cultura de Nueva Zelanda, los jóvenes, incluida la forma en que influye en la apariencia, el comportamiento, la actividad física, el deporte, la moda, el consumo y la educación. La pregunta general de investigación se centra en: cómo los jóvenes de Nueva Zelanda definir, utilizar y dar sentido a la cultura del hip hop?Palabras-clave: Hip hop; Nueva Zelanda; Cultura Física; Juventud; identidad.O OLHAR TRANS-PACÍFICO E OS ESTUDOS DA CULTURA FÍSICA: CONSUMO, EXPERIÊNCIA E SIGNIFICADO DA CULTURA DO HIP-HOP ENTRE...

“…Nonetheless, the connection was not uncontested. Some early commentators saw in this adaptation the danger of cultural imperialism and the evisceration of indigenous forms of resistance (Wilcox 1996). That caution had been long forgotten in more recent claims , for example, that some of hip hop's 'essential ideology' was its 'community base', 'educational empowerment of marginalized peoples', and its 'vigorous opposition to hegemonic racist and colonizing forces' (Zemke-White 2004:205;also Zemke-White 2005;Mitchell 2001:280-302 & Shuker 2004, all of which were highly positive assessments).…”

The Politics of Social Discourses about Youth in New Zealand 1950-1965 and 1990-2005

<p>This thesis explores the politics of changing discourses around the youth question in New Zealand’s postwar (1950-1965) and near-contemporary history (1990-2005). Building on a modified Foucaultian framework, it examines for both periods anxieties over young people’s relationships with home, school and the wider society. It also contrasts the two periods to illustrate the ideological shift from the welfare state to neoliberalism, as it was played out through youth-related discourses. This thesis goes beyond the moral panic approach, especially regarding the postwar period. It will demonstrate that rethinking what is conventionally condensed and marginalised as ‘context’ is key to understanding the politics of youth discourses. Postwar debates about young people, because youth were conceived as being in social crisis, served to expose ideological differences that the welfare state had ostensibly overcome. That in turn destabilized the apparent moral consensus and opened up opportunities for resistance and subversion. By contrast, the liberal and emancipatory discourse of society in the 1990s and early 2000s served to insulate neoliberal politics from volatile public concerns. This in turn paradoxically provides a stronger and more efficient foundation for social control over youth.</p>

During the late 1970s, thousands of—in many cases legal—Samoan immigrants were systematically evicted from New Zealand shores. Today, however, “Samoans” are an integral part of New Zealand's national rugby team, the All Blacks. Although this may, perhaps, be interpreted as evidence of a more progressive racial climate in contemporary New Zealand, this article argues that the All Blacks, in fact, serve to obfuscate the cultural politics of race and nation embodied in, and played out through, the game of rugby. In particular, the article examines the parallels of the exploitation of Samoan industrial and athletic labor, how the public discourses that surround players of Samoan descent raise increasingly complex questions of national eligibility and allegiance, and finally how newdiasporic affiliations such as the Pacific Islanders rugby team may provide an opportunity to build on an emergent “Black Pacific” culture that transcends the boundaries of nationality and nationalism.
