Die wenigen etablierten weiblichen MCs versuchten dabei mithilfe ihrer kunstlerischen Selbstprasentation auf den herrschenden Rollenstereotyp der passiven, zuruckhaltenden Frau aufmerksam zu machen, die finanziell von ihrem Mann abhangig ist. Doch auf welche Art und Weise schafften es die Interpretinnen im Laufe der Zeit, sich von diesem Stigma zu losen, beziehungsweise schafften sie es uberhaupt? Kann das Frauenbild, das die Rapperinnen in ihren verschiedenen Songtexten und Musikvideos darstellten, hinsichtlich ihrer Inszenierung neu gedeutet werden? Denn seit der Veroffentlichung des ersten Musikvideos der Rapperin Roxanne Shante im Jahr 1984 sind knapp 30 Jahre vergangen. Die Welt hat sich sowohl politisch als auch gesellschaftlich verandert. Hat sich in den Aussagen der Rapperinnen ebenfalls etwas verandert? Diese Arbeit konzentriert sich auf die sprachliche und aussersprachliche Kommunikation der kommerziell erfolgreichen afroamerikanischen Rapperinnen. Das Augenmerk liegt dabei auf den musikalischen und visuellen Aspekten und weniger auf der geografischen Verortung der Kunstlerinnen.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52617018376465,"sku":"NLS9783959348430","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783959348430.jpg?v=1761529036"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/de-de\/collections\/autor-buecher-von-vanessa-patrick.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
