From A-Town to ATL: The Politics of Translation in Global Hip Hop Culture

This article examines the linguistic and cultural tensions in global Hip Hop culture through an analysis of the performance of Gsann, an emcee from the Tanzanian Hip Hop crew X Plastaz, at the 2009 Black Entertainment Television (BET) Hip Hop Awards in Atlanta. Gsann\u27s rhymes in Swahili, his emphasis on religion, and his global travels distinguished him from his African American colleagues in the cipha. At the same time, the decision by the BET producers to translate Gsann\u27s Swahili rhymes into English has to be seen within the longer history of cultural and linguistic politics in Tanzania and the United States. Thrown into the primetime spectacle of the BET Awards, Gsann\u27s African roots became quickly incorporated into American Hip Hop culture, dominated by African Americans. As this case study of an artist from Tanzania shows, Hip Hop\u27s global journey has brought together artists from around the world without eliding their cultural and linguistic differences

La inclusión social como proceso. Estrategias comunitarias, una alternativa para lograrla.

El presente artículo trata sobre la inclusión social y algunas de las diferentes situaciones por las que está condicionada. El elemento económico constituye uno de los factores fundamentales en el proceso de inclusión, pero existen otros, de carácter legal y social, que también son determinantes en este proceso; por ejemplo: tener una identidad, nacionalidad, un apellido. Estos elementos influyen en el reconocimiento social de individuos o grupos de personas y a su vez en su participación en cualquier esfera de la sociedad. Se hace necesario entonces, encontrar vías de inclusión social, que permitan a los individuos y grupos su pleno desempeño en la sociedad. Una de ellas ha sido el diseño y aplicación de las políticas sociales.   Otras formas no menos importantes en los procesos de inclusión, se consideran; la participación y prevención sociales en las comunidades, en este sentido, se exponen ejemplos de estrategias comunitarias en favor de la inclusión social

Colective Effects from Induced Behaviour

We present a solvable model for describing quantitatively situations where the individual behaviour of agents in a group "percolates" to collective behaviour of the group as a whole as a result of mutual influence between the agents.Comment: 6 pages, 6 figures, EPJ macro
