“…The definition of awareness is unsteady and open (Perlovsky, 2008;Olteteanu, 2009;Jamison, 2006). In other words, there is still some controversy about the concept of "awareness" in the academic world.…”

The mental health of college students is critical to the future of social and economic development. Based on the philosophy of music, this paper aims to disclose the influence of music appreciation on self-awareness of college students. Firstly, the basic theories were introduced on philosophy of music and self-awareness. Then, 15 college students, 8 males and 7 females, in different ages and majors, were selected to attend the music appreciation course. Their self-awareness levels were measured before and after the course, and compared in details. The results show that the appreciation of music works can effectively improve the self-awareness of college students; the self-awareness level of college students is not greatly affected by factors like gender, age and major. The research findings lay the theoretical basis for improving self-awareness and mental health of college students.

“…And if you are going to be seen as a beast, you may as well act like one. (hooks, 45) This complex relationship between black men and their conception of self is further built upon by Jamison (2006). Jamison reflects on the nuanced relationship between African Self-Consciousness, hypermasculinity, rap, and cultural misorientation.…”

She currently works for University Internal and Executive Communications and spends the majority of her time writing for various publications, including her independent project, The Agenda and the University's Around the O. Elkins's research interests involve existential theory, Sartrian and Beauvoirian gender theory, postcolonial feminist theories and their praxis, and rap/pop/R&B and their relations to expressions of gender and systems of oppression. When she is not reading or writing, she spends her time listening to Brockhampton and napping. Please direct correspondence to lizzy.elkins@gmail.com. Genius, record sale statistics, and album lyrics. By illustrating and evaluating how these artists subvert traditional concepts of gender and sexuality, I hope to also shine a light on how their music, which reaches millions of people who are less aware of or accepting of gayness, catalyzes social change and is significant in this current political moment, which is an era of increasing public tolerance of queer ideas and less binary gender expression.

“…Through these lyrics the rapper constructs a masculinity, which is opposed to the 'strange' masculine form invoked through the figure of 'Gary Glitter'. Rather than prematurely suggest that these lyrics provide evidence of the association of particular genres of rap with forms of hyper-masculinity (Jamison 2006), I want to highlight that there is no association of rap with anti-paedophile rhetoric in either scholarly or mainstream debates on rap culture. Alex Perullo, in his study of Tanzanian hip hop, highlights the need to examine rap lyrics in context.…”

Freedom within bars: maximum security prisoners’ negotiations of identity through rap

This paper examines the construction of prisoners' identity through rap in England's high security prisons. While hip hop studies has often addressed rap's connection to the social practices of criminalised youths, prison rap cultures have received scant attention. This paper draws on a series of rap workshops and interviews with prisoners to investigate the experiences of black prisoners in high security prisons and how identities are produced and negotiated through rap. Rap is associated with the production of a range of identities and identifications, enabling prisoners to accommodate themselves to the conditions of their incarceration and to challenge aspects of the criminal justice system that they experience as unfair or illegitimate.
