For more than two decades, le hip hop has shown France's "other"
face: danced by minorities associated with immigration and the
suburbs, it has channeled rage against racism and unequal
opportunity and offered a movement vocabulary for the expression of
the multicultural difference that challenges the universalist
discourse of the Republic. French hip-hoppers subscribe to black
U.S. culture to articulate their own difference but their mouv'
developed differently, championed by a Socialist cultural policy as
part of the patrimoine culturel, instituted as a pedagogy and
supported as an art of the banlieue. In the multicultural mix of
"Arabic" North African, African and Asian forms circulating with
classical and contemporary dance performance in France, if hip hop
is positioned as a civic discourse, and hip hop dancer as
legitimate employment, it is because beyond this political
recuperation, it is a figural language in which dancers express
themselves differently, figure themselves as something or someone
else. French hip hop develops into concert dance not through the
familiar model of a culture industry, but within a Republic of
Culture; it nuances an "Anglo-Saxon" model of identity politics
with a "francophone" post-colonial identity poetics and grants its
dancers the statut civil of artists, technicians who develop and
transmit body-based knowledge. This book- the first in English to
introduce readers to the French mouv' -analyzes the choreographic
development of hip hop into la danse urbaine, touring on national
and international stages, as hip hoppeurs move beyond the banlieue,
figuring new forms within the mobility brought by new media and
global migration.
