Mellan identiteterna : En kvalitativ innehållsanalys av kristna och afroamerikanska teman i Kanye Wests texter

Granqvist, Leo January 2023 (has links)
One of the most popular and one of the most controversial contemporary artists is Kanye West. Both in his lyrics and in social and news media he expresses a vast variety of opinions and thoughts, and through that he has made himself a spokesperson in a lot of different cultural areas and communitys.  This study aims to show how themes connected to the Christian identity as well as the afro-american identity is represented in the lyrics of Kanye West, which has led to the following questions: 1) Which Christian themes can be identified in the lyrics of the albums The Life Of Pablo (2016) and Jesus Is King (2019)? 2) Which African themes can be identified in the lyrics of the albums? And 3) How can the interaction between expressions of Christian and African American identity be understood from an intersectional perspective? To answere theese questions a content analysis has been made, where two Christian themes (Spiritual change and rebirth and the narrative identity as a preacher) was identified as well as two afro-american themes (Slavery and materialism and conspicuous consumption). On top of that an intersectional theorethical perspective was added on which showed that the lyrics on the albums provided expressions of uniqe experiences through the intersection between the identities.
