Representing community: A qualitative study on multicultural arts and the struggle for cultural citizenship. - 253 p.

Chair: Anastasia Loukaitou-Sideris.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of California, Los Angeles, 2003.

This dissertation studies the connections between multicultural arts, community building, and the assertion of cultural citizenship. Rather than dictating a top down planning for the cultural life of cities, multicultural community arts collectives express subaltern agency, and creatively expand participation and representation of excluded groups in the city and region.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a This dissertation studies the connections between multicultural arts, community building, and the assertion of cultural citizenship. Rather than dictating a top down planning for the cultural life of cities, multicultural community arts collectives express subaltern agency, and creatively expand participation and representation of excluded groups in the city and region.
520 $a This qualitative analysis strives to both historicize and stretch current thinking about multicultural community based arts. Today, local diverse community arts sites are not only claiming representative cultural space within the city, but also increasingly negotiate international connections between diverse groups in the city and their extended transnational connections to families, communities, and places far away. As a result, this analysis uses both local and transnational analytical lenses to expose ways the multicultural arts are sustaining, remembering, and re-defining community as they face the momentum and inherent inequalities that accompany globalization.
520 $a This research is informed by three cross sectional cases on multicultural community arts groups and initiatives that are local, regional, and transnational in their spread. Three poetic/geographic themes (<italic>sustaining space, uprooting space</italic>, and <italic>flexing space</italic>) are used to structure the research methodology and design. The activism required for <italic> sustaining space</italic>, or access, by multicultural arts groups to state external cultural support networks are discussed in the evolution of the California Arts Council's Multicultural Development Program. This case study reveals the challenges to holding the state accountable to excluded communities in an environment of unequal power and limited resources. <italic>Uprooting space </italic> is discussed through analysis of the C. Bernard Jackson Tribute Committee that struggled to keep their “multicultural” community connected following the death of its founders and the demolition of its inner city theater. Their community performance recalls the vision and contributions of the Inner City Cultural Center's to Los Angeles and the region. Finally, <italic> flexing space</italic> becomes a metaphor for the transnational and intercultural communities being negotiated by new immigrants to the City of Los Angeles. Capoeira Batuque provides an example of how immigrant arts collectives are constructing intercultural and transnational bridges that absorb the attention of expanding cultural markets while subverting the inequalities underlying cultural globalization.
