Voice
This Flash Tip features “voice” as a resource in the craft of writing and self‐realization. The text includes a list of practices, which I have found helpful in how I focus and develop my fashioning of style, experiences, and vulnerability.
“Cover the Fire” or Live in the Dusk
Informed by recent fieldwork with “Muslim youth” in Aarhus, Denmark, West African migrants in Lisbon, Portugal and personal experiences of mobility in both cities, I deploy dusk as a sensorial epistemology and fiction as a complementary aesthetic methodology as I attempt to write the city (creatively) back into the (critical) urban. Forays into fiction are pertinent, because it is through imagination and the creativity of textual expression that …
Brazilian Performers go beyond the Street
In this article we argue that Brazilian hip hop has opened up and become transgressive in terms of commodification practices, spaces of performative occupation and racial and gendered identification. Such expansion has meant not only an ideological broadening of what counts as hip hop and Black but also where such expressions are recognized as legitimate. This article focuses on the work of Emicida, Linn da Quebrada, Rico Dalasam and Jup do Bairr…

Imagining São Paulo with Invisible Cities
Scars in the soil
The city of Lisbon has scar tissue, a reminder of pain and trauma that administrations often gloss over as urbanization. The demolition of dozens of neighbourhoods has been documented in cinema, both documentaries and feature-length conventional films. Even more stark is the footage from grassroots archivists, who have accompanied since the beginning the raw despair of displacement, an internal uprooting after a generation or more of Luso-African…
Night stories
This introduction provides an overview of this Special Issue: ‘Night Stories: Urban Narratives of the Migrant Lives in Europe’, which originates from work undertaken within the collaborative HERA-funded research project ‘Night spaces: Migration, culture and integration in Europe’ (NITE). It argues that experiences and representations of the urban night are often overlooked in Humanities research. It contends that understandings of this overlooked…
A night in the life of a migrant street artist
The following text is a transcription and translation from a conversation with Eduardo Santos, a Brazilian tagger and street artist who currently lives in Lisbon, Portugal. Santos, more widely known as Shp (‘sheep’), member of the group Pregos (literally translated as ‘nails’), responded to questions about identity, life philosophy and art through a series of WhatsApp audios. In addition, Shp and Xiên, another Brazilian migrant, provide a voice-o…
Collapsed
As part of a larger ethnographic project that approaches urban migration to São Paulo, Brazil as modes of racialized presence, I offer a fictionalized account of the tragic collapse of the Wilton Paes de Almeida Building (Fig. 1), an occupied, squatter settlement, on May 1, 2018. The narrative point of view represents the tension between the omniscient narrator and local actors, using an imaginative opening to examine migrant aspirations and fear…
Introduction To City & Society Forum
Creole chronotopes
The emergence of Kriolu or Cape Verdean Creole as a black identity should be understood in terms of chronotope, a dynamic iteration that combines time and place in the name of collective identity. The case of Cape Verdean migrants in Lisbon, Portugal, contributes to current debates on blackness as a ‘becoming’ and a complex set of practices by underscoring the role of encounters, both mundane and structural, in racialized formations. I draw from …
A cidade está em falência
Entrevista com Morten Nielsen, realizada por Derek Pardue
City as mobility
The article analyzes saraus movement - poetry readings in São Paulo's periphery - as a cultural phenomenon that over recent years has transformed the city space into a vibrant socio-political project. The movement offers important insights for an anthropology of cities by highlighting the materiality of mobility and spatiality, understood here as a set of social and cultural practices that involve the existential knowledge, social networking, and…
Haunted Cityscapes
Cities as Migrant Emplacement
Cash or Body”
The Cape Verdean rap scene is a site of convergence, yet for most it is the antithesis of “world music” and its accompanying creative hybridity. While Cape Verdean musical genres such as morna, koladera, and funana fit well into cosmopolitan tastes of Euro-African creolization and postcolonial dance parties, Cape Verdean rap reveals a side of globalization where the contradictions of territory, identity, and migration are not easily resolved by a…

The Role of Noise in the Periphery of São Paulo, Brazil
Kriolu Interruptions
Portugal, juntamente com todos os países da Europa ocidental, está numa encruzilhada histórica. Como a migração a várias localidades européias tem se intensificado e diferenças nas formas de linguagem, religião, raça e etnia tornaram-se mais visíveis, a questão que se apresenta é: como as comunidades têm reconfigurado suas identidades? No caso de Lisboa, graças à longa prática da transculturação durante o colonialismo português e, mais tarde, no …
Creole as Drama
This article brings a “drama perspective” to the analysis of Kriolu rap in Lisbon, Portugal. Kriolu is the language and identity of Cape Verdeans both at home on the archipelago nation-state located 350 miles to the west of Senegal in the Atlantic Ocean as well as among the diverse diasporic population abroad. Theoretically, the article argues that dramatic expressions of identity depend on encounters and are thus significant in spatial terms. Th…
Kriolu Scenes inLisbon
Since the early 1990s, theLisbon housing authorities have targeted "improvised" neighborhoods (e.g., poorly serviced neighborhoods with limited infrastructure) for removal or renewal into housing projects called "social" neighborhoods. Many of the neighborhoods undergoing transition are inhabited byKriolu-speaking Portuguese ofCapeVerdean descent. I analyze residents' responses to these changes, particularly the responses of young male rappers. M…

Reversal of Fortunes
This article addresses the relationship between space and investment in two forms of popular culture as part of an assessment of urban development in Brazil's largest city, São Paulo. Through a selected braiding of ethnographic reflections, urban histories, and social theories of speculation, I argue that the youth cultural practices of hip hop and "saraus" or open microphone talent shows have influenced the flows of investment and the social geo…
Taking Stock of the State
In 2003, Gilberto Gil, the new Brazilian minister of culture and legendary Brazilian popular music icon, announced a new project of cultural networking. Gil pitched the Cultural Points program to the Workers' Party administration and to the public at large as a fundamental resource for revealing and circulating the various forms of expressive culture for all Brazilians to access. This program has had a direct impact on local hip-hoppers as they h…
Cape Verdean Creole and the Politics of Scene-Making in Lisbon, Portugal
The performance of Kriolu rap in Lisbon, Portugal has emerged at a time when Western European countries are reassessing the relationship between national territory and identity. Attractive to some and disturbing to others are the attitude and flair of Kriolu rappers. A group of mostly young men of Cape Verdean descent, these rappers insist on speaking and singing in Kriolu, a creole language that lacks official-language status in both Portugal an…
Place markers
Community radio and hip-hop constitute sociopolitical agency in the (sub)urban, working-class neighborhoods of São Paulo. Practitioners and performers have defined themselves, in part, by their success in "conquering space" and, in turn, have created a productive public sphere. Members of both groups consistently describe what they do as public exchange, a viable and visible option on the part of the disenfranchised to engage in a Habermasian ide…
Writing in the Margins
Hip-hop culture's force as part of globalization in the fields of economics, popular aesthetics, and identity politics has been well documented. However, its articulation to educational practices has received less attention. This article draws upon fieldwork conducted in 1999 and 2002 in a youth correctional facility to analyze how state institutional practices mediate hip-hop's educational project in São Paulo, Brazil. This analysis historicizes…

Making Territorial Claims
In this essay I posit that the stylistic divergences in Brazilian hip hop reveal a set of social and geographical dynamics related to São Paulo, the country's largest city and supposed beacon of modernity. The case of São Paulo hip hop speaks beyond Brazil and potentially contributes to larger discussions of the contemporary city complex including the role of the working-class periphery sprawls on urbanism. This text focuses on the primacy ofperi…

Hip Hop as Pedagogy
This article investigates the blurry intersection between the state and civil society in the fields of popular education and citizenship. In Brazil most performers of hip hop (rappers, DJs, graffiti artists, and street dancers) make their living as educators remunerated by state agencies and NGOs. The significance of such labor can be understood in terms of a historical relationship between agents of popular culture and the state regarding the pa…

Jogada Lingüística
In this article, the author argues that the practice of sports as an articulation of social collectivity should be approached not only in terms of institution and social structure but also in terms of discourse and positioning. The ethnographic case of Brazilian soccer informs this piece as the author analyzes nationalism and hegemony using a sociolinguistic approach. The focus of the article rests on the voices of various dominant as well as fra…
