About this exposition

The following is a three-pronged alternative master thesis based on the core research inquiry “What is musical-cultural appropriation and how do we, as musicians and artists, tackle it in practice?”. One part of the thesis is a case study of Paul Simon’s seminal album Graceland (1986) as a key example of musical-cultural appropriation in practice and how one’s habitus plays a role in their approach to a select culture(s). The next part of the thesis provides a brief overview of autoethnography as a research method and how it instrumentalizes this researcher’s own diametrically opposed personal-cultural positionalities (as both appropriator and appropriated, minority and majority) as a part of the answer to the question of musical-cultural appropriation. The final part of the thesis is a songwriting log that utilizes autoethnographic techniques in order to demonstrate and interrogate real-time musical-cultural appropriation in practice.
