Tout en interrogeant le concept de modernité, nous formulons de brèves remarques sur l’apport décisif du reggae dans le discours écologique de Prince Koloni, un artiste issu de l’ouest guyanais, qui a réussi à imposer sa musique sur la scène internationale.

Papers by Abdoulaye Gaye
Mots-clés : Guyane, Prince Koloni ; reggae ; fleuve ; environnement ; écologie.
Paradoxically, this balance of power between the popular and the legitimate opens up the distinctions that characterize power relations in Jamaican society. For instance, Sidney Bartley adopts a clear and unambiguous position as far as the presence of Jamaican Creole in schools is concerned. However, at the end of the conversation, he recognizes the persistence of “a mindset that affects everything,” a mindset that “is still steeped in what Europe says about it and what other people do about it.” Moreover, the permanent dialogue with the popular that is outlined by the Director of Culture cannot cover up the wider ostracism faced by dancehall practitioners, whose artistic practice constantly disturbs the parameters of legitimate culture.

Drawing upon Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of cultural legitimacy, the author also seeks to interrogate the distinctive pattern of reproduction of the hegemonic relationship between the dominant and dominated classes in Jamaica today. The study questions the low level of consciousness of symbolic domination that is displayed in dancehall music and explores the social strategies that can challenge and/or reproduce the hierarchically fixed discourse of cultural legitimacy.
