“HOMEGIRL GOING HOME: HIP HOP FEMINISM AND THE REPRESENTATIONAL POLITICS OF LOCATION” - AISHA S. DURHAM
• In/visibility of women by focusing on the situational and complex physicality of black female bodies
• Performing hip hop sensibilities
• “Hip hop dualism between the queen and ho” will inform risk perception of Beyonce and desirable black femininities
• Music videos are mediums for the rearticulation of the spectacular black female body
“HO” or QUEEN?

RISK & BEYONCE• How is the visual album a risk? - Explicit Content-> Remoralising female embodiment - Commercial Viability/Artistic Autonomy • “Ho” or Queen? Risky or Risqué? - Lupton: woman’s sexuality as threatening - Patriarchal Bargain & Risk avoidance - Douglas & polluted body (Purity) - Liminal Subject (Ethnicity, Class etc)
• Hysteria & the Disorderly Female Body (Lupton, Foucault)
- Desirable bodies of femininity - Self-control, Self-regulation
