Résumé
Spectacular Vernaculars examines hip-hop's cultural rebellion in terms of its specific implications for postmodern theory and practice, using the politics of reception as its primary rhetorical ground. Hip-hop culture in general, and rap music in particular, present model sites for such an inquiry, since they enact both postmodern modes of production - the appropriation of tropes, technologies, and material culture - and a potential means of resistance to the commodification of cultural forms under late capitalism.
By paying specific attention to the historical and cultural context of hip-hop as a black artform and locating its practice of resistance in terms of a postmodernist reading of consumer culture, this book offers a complex reading of hip-hop as a postmodem practice, with implications both for theories of postmodernism and cultural studies as a whole.
