Old in the Game: Age and Aging in Hip-Hop 17. März 2015, 17:00 – 18:30 Uhr, SR 35.K2, Merangasse 18/KG, 8010 Graz Murray Forman, Associate Professor Old in the Game: Age and Aging in Hip-Hop While hip-hop is commonly associated in many mainstream contexts with youth practices and tastes, it has been a long time indeed since it could easily be defined as a facet of youth culture; generational turbulence abounds within contemporary hip-hop. Professor Forman critically examines the ways in which the past (as lore, tradition, and legacy) is constructed and understood in contemporary hip-hop and illuminates the manner in which individuals of different ages interact with one another according to multiple factors relating to experience and familiarity, rules, laws, and wider cultural norms as well as established hip-hop conventions. By focusing on an alternative cartography of age and aging he offers new perspectives on the character and representation of hip-hop elderscapes. Murray Forman, Associate Professor, Media and Screen Studies, Northeastern University, USA Murray Forman studies media and culture with a primary focus on popular music. For over twenty years he has engaged in research about hip-hop culture, contributing to the emerging field of hip-hop studies.
