Interdependence 12: Larisa Kingston Mann (DJ Ripley)
🕑 Added 2020-07-22 00:40:47 +0000 UTCFor this episode we welcome academic and DJ Larisa Kingston Mann from Temple University in Philadelphia, whose work analyzes the relationship between law, technology, sovereignty and creativity, especially focusing on the ways changing media technologies affect communities’ ability to flourish
Her PhD thesis “Rude Citizenship”, soon to be turned into a book, looks at the ways in which Jamaican popular music practices challenge the colonial underpinnings of copyright law and of sovereignty itself. We discuss the economics of Jamaican sound system culture, the sticky topic of copyright as a flawed protection for creators, and proposals for a fairer DJ economy.
We had a few sound issues that we tried to clean up for this episode, and Larissa is a generous and fun guest. I hope you enjoy it and are having a great week!
Thanks again for the support :)
On Larisa's recommendation, we donated to support The Attic Youth Center in Philly. The Attic Youth Center is the only organization in Philadelphia exclusively serving lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning (LGBTQ) youth. https://www.atticyouthcenter.org/

Great to hear thanks Jeremy

This is a conversation that I’ll be referencing for a long time. Larisa articulates so well the complicated nature that I feel most artists face (or choose not to face) when dealing with the economic and historical realities of culture generally. Gonna have to pick up Rude Citizenship. Thank you for this!
