This essay aims at showing how the spatial dimension gives Palestinian rap a firm grasp on reality and keeps it from falling into the traps of abstraction and anti-politics. By analyzing a number of documents – ranging from documentaries, tv interviews, song lyrics and scholarly literature on the subject – the author means to demonstrate that the accurate spatial details which are usually embedded in the so-called conscious rap, far from being used for the simple sake of realism, are acts of resistance and space reappropriation: by naming and describing places, Palestinian rappers try to reclaim and repossess them, and to fight the daily alienation which they are forced to deal with.

Abstract
This essay aims at showing how the spatial dimension gives Palestinian rap a firm grasp on reality and keeps it from falling into the traps of abstraction and anti-politics. By analyzing a number of documents – ranging from documentaries, tv interviews, song lyrics and scholarly literature on the subject – the author means to demonstrate that the accurate spatial details which are usually embedded in the so-called conscious rap, far from being used for the simple sake of realism, are acts of resistance and space reappropriation: by naming and describing places, Palestinian rappers try to reclaim and repossess them, and to fight the daily alienation which they are forced to deal with.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
