“…The collection of voices resynthesised by the panels grows the more the project is performed, becoming richer and more likely to mirror the variety of audiences that the project meets. [10] In White Masks, the boundaries between composer, performer and audience are blurred through the transformation of objects into speakers. The speakers are distributed around the performance space, so that audience members can actively choose different listening perspectives.…”

“…Gender is one of the most frequently handled with issues in music (Lam, 2010). Music lyrics mostly include gender issues related to the female body (Essl, 2003). In addition to this, music also deals with women's roles, sexuality, personality traits and even behaviours in the context of gender.…”

Öz: Son zamanlarda rap müziği oldukça popüler hale gelmiş ve dinleyici kitlesine kendisine hayran bırakmayı başarmıştır. Rap müzik ritminin yanı sıra ele aldığı toplumsal konu ve sorunlarla dikkat çekmektedir. Rap müziği dinleyicisini sadece eğlendirmekle kalmayıp aynı zamanda bilgi de vermektedir. Bu müzik türünün ele aldığı konulardan biri kadındır. Bir nevi Kadının toplumdaki yeri ve önemini göstermektedir. Rap müzik sözlerindeki kadınların toplumsal cinsiyet bağlamında incelenmiştir. Bu çalışma nitel bir araştırmadır. Bulgular, yabancı rap müzik sözlerinde geçen kadınlar incelenerek toplumsal cinsiyet çerçevesince toplumsal cinsiyet normları, kadınların aşağılanması, kadın rolleri ve cinsiyetçilik temaları kaynak tarama yöntemi ile bulunmuştur ve rap müzik sözlerinde yer alan kadınlar içerik analizi ile analiz edilmiştir. Youtube platformunun hazırlamış olduğu mayıs ayının Rap Music 2022 Playlist’inden sıralamaya göre dinlenme sayısı en çok olan ve kadın temasını ele alan şarkılardan 10 tanesi örneklem olarak seçilmiştir. Bu çalışmanın bulguları, gündelik hayatta olduğu gibi analiz edilen rap şarkılarında toplumsal cinsiyet çerçevesinde kadınlara yönelik basmakalıp tiplerin olduğunu ve kadının toplumsal bir problem olarak değil, şiddet ve bedenlerinin ön planda tutulduğunu gösterir. Abstract: Rap music has become very popular and has managed to fascinate its audience, recently. Rap music draws attention the problems with its rhythm it addresses as well as the social issues. It is not only entertains its listeners but also informs them. One of the subjects that this genre of music deals with is women. In a way, it shows the position and importance of women in society. Women in rap music lyrics are analysed in the context of gender. This study is a qualitative research. The findings were found by the method of literature review on the themes of gender norms, humiliation of women, women's roles and sexism within the framework of gender by examining the women mentioned in rap music lyrics, and women in rap music lyrics were analysed by content analysis. From the Rap Music 2022 Playlist of May prepared by the Youtube platform, 10 of the songs with the highest number of listeners and dealing with the theme of women were selected as samples. The findings of this study show that there are women stereotypes and violence in the framework of gender in rap songs analysed as in daily life, and their bodies are prioritized, not a social problem of women.

“…The interactive documentary, comprising over thirty parts that tell a collective story, shows some of the tactics these women use to approach significant issues around gender. In presenting a group of subjects, I displace the dominant reading of EDM as a phallocentric practice of individual DJ-virtuosity and talent that is observed by researchers such as Essl (2003), Friz (2004), Farrugia (2010) and Kirn (2011). Most critically, as I learned in making the documentary, women negotiate and use the tools in their art practice in divergent ways.…”

This article reflects upon the research methods employed for microfemininewarfare (2013), an interactive database documentary that investigates female electronic dance music (EDM) artists. The purpose of the documentary is to feature the contributions of women as composers, to show how they came to be composers and to reveal the tactics used to approach significant issues of gender in the EDM community. I highlight the theoretical and methodological processes that went into the making of this documentary, subtitled "exploring women's space in electronic music". By constructing "electronic music by women" as a category, two objectives are addressed: first, the visibility of women's contribution to the musical tradition is heightened; and, second, it allows an exploration of the broadening of discourses about female subjectivity. This article showcases feminist research-creation and friendship-as-method as effective research methods to glean meaningful content when applied to EDM fieldwork.
