Romski hip hop kao multikulturalistički saundtrek, R-point - pedagogija jedne politike

Abstract

Predmet ovog rada jeste fenomen romskog hip hopa u Srbiji, njegov nastanak I popularisanje putem muzičkih radiostanica za romsku decu koje sprovodi nevladina organizacija R-Point. U radu se analizira jedna, navodno liberatorna, kulturna praksa, I pokazuje da njeno kreiranje 'odozgo', putem projekata nevladinih organizacija koje imaju deklarativni cilj da dotičnoj populaciji pomognu, zapravo petrifikuje njihov identitet, svodeći njihovu celokupnu kulturnu produkciju na pojedine, dominantnoj kulturi privlačne elemente tradicionalno prepoznate kao 'romske'.

This paper examines the phenomenon of Roma hip hop in Serbia, its origins and popularization through music workshops for Roma children organized by the non-governmental organization R-Point. The paper analyzes a supposedly liberatory cultural practice, and argues that its designing 'from above' through nongovernmental agencies' projects whose declarative aim is to help the Roma, actually petrifies their identity, reducing their entire cultural output to certain elements attractive to the dominant culture and traditionally recognized as 'Roma'.
