Abstract

It is widely accepted in Caribbean studies that there is an ongoing resistance culture in Jamaica’s dancehalls. However, the notion of resistance has remained confined to the terrain of what Carolyn Cooper calls ‘border clashes’ – local versus global, culture versus slackness, uptown versus downtown, and popular culture versus high culture. This article underlines the distinctive creativity of dancehall artistes such as the Twin of Twins, whose artistic practice generates a textual arena where different discourses can interact dialectically in various forms. It primarily explores the Twins’ treatment of resistance culture in their represented spaces. It subsequently discusses the dialogic dynamics involved in the relationship between the dominant and dominated classes. These analyses reveal the relational ethos of dancehall DJs’ counter-narratives and the Twin of Twins’ ability to produce a dialogic relation to social reality.
“搅动它”:双胞胎中的双胞胎艺术实践中的争论与对话
在加勒比地区的研究中,人们普遍认为在牙买加的舞厅里存在着一种持续的抵抗文化。然而,抵抗的概念仍然局限于卡洛琳·库珀所说的“边界冲突”——地方与全球、文化与懒散、住宅区与市中心、流行文化与高雅文化。本文强调了双胞胎中的双胞胎等舞厅艺术家独特的创造力,他们的艺术实践创造了一个文本舞台,不同的话语可以以不同的形式辩证地互动。它主要探讨双胞胎在其所代表的空间中对抵抗文化的处理。它随后讨论了主导阶级和被统治阶级之间关系的对话动态。这些分析揭示了舞厅dj反叙事的关系气质,以及双胞胎中的双胞胎与社会现实产生对话关系的能力。
