Questions:

Can you tell us a bit about your research in Venezuela?

You mentioned that Community Studies is an interdisciplinary department. Can you think of an example of how working in an interdisciplinary environment has enriched your own research?

Can you share your thoughts on female MCs in Baile Funk, a musical form known for sexually explicit lyrics and dance moves?

Where does the line fall between self-empowerment and exploitation of one’s own image?

Your thoughts on how to responsibly approach a study on female Baile Funk MCs from an outsider perspective?

“I am always inclined to think that the media is a megaphone, rather than a starting gun; that we only blare out a louder version of what's happening anyway. It's arguable, though, that some groups are more easily influenced than others - hence our greater worry about teen mags than the filth that is always with us.”

MC Deize Tigrona Lyrics “Injeção”

Quando eu vô ao médico, sinto uma dor

Quer me dar injeção, olha o papo do doutor!

Injeção doi quando fura Arranha quando entra

Doutor assim não dá minha poupança não aguenta!

Tá ardendo mais ta entrando, arranhando mais ta entrando,

Tá ardendo mais ta entrando,arranhando mais ta entrando!

Ai, doutor que dor! Ai, médico que dor!

Ai!;Tá ardendo mais ta entrando, arranhando mais ta entrando,

Tá ardendo mais ta entrando, arranhando mais ta entrando!

Ai, doutor que dor! Ai, médico que dor!

MC Deize Tigrona Lyrics “Sadomasoquista”

Sadomasoquista, vamos tigrona agora grita vai

Sadomasoquista, vamos tigrona agora grita vai quista, quista, quista

Sou tigrona chapa quente Adoro muita presão

Gosto de ser acorrentada E levar tapão no popozão

Quixadão vem de chicote Querendo me algemar

Me botando em posição Já pronto pra martelar

Vem de chicote, algema, corda de alpinista

Dai que eu percebi que o cara é sadomasoquista
