Furthermore\, I will explain how the \"spine\" of a surface can be used to construct a particularly good dynamical coding\, and how this coding relates dynamics on a surface to dynamics on a metric graph. This relation will be applied to analyze surface properties such as the critical exponent.

In 2017\, just months after Donald Trump took office\, Eminem appeared in a BET “Cypher\,” a freestyle rap session where emcees show off their skills\, and used the entirety of his allotted time to accuse President Trump of being a cowardly racist who represented an immediate threat to the American people. Less than three months ago\, Eminem took the stage again\, this time at a Detroit rally in support of Kamala Harris. He once again called out Trump as a threat to the country and introduced former president Barack Obama\, who began his speech by rapping lyrics from one of Eminem’s most famous songs\, “Lose Yourself.” Despite Eminem’s stated support for Democratic candidates and his rejection of Trump\, the white rapper also has been claimed by Republican politicians including Marco Rubio and Vivek Ramaswamy. In fact\, early in his career\, Eminem branded himself as a politically incorrect provocateur who\, as the title to one of his first songs put it\, “Just Don’t Give a Fuck.” By emphasizing contradictions in whiteness\, particularly with respect to class\, Eminem’s early commercial recordings\, along with his semi-autobiographical 2002 film *8 Mile*\, cast him as an angry underdog. Thus\, despite his recent efforts to position himself firmly in opposition to Donald Trump\, much of Eminem’s early work aligns well with the cultural logic of conservative grievance politics. This lecture explores these contradictions and examines how Eminem can be claimed by politicians on both sides of the aisle. Why was Eminem’s music and legacy open to being adopted by both Democrats and Republicans during the 2024 presidential campaign? How do Barack Obama and Vivek Ramaswamy\, both of whom chose to rap the opening lines of “Lose Yourself” at different campaign events\, draw on hip hop history to bolster their respective positions? What does Eminem’s relevance twenty-five years after his mainstream debut tell us about hip hop’s political evolution? And\, finally\, what can hip hop teach us about recent trends in electoral politics that have seen more people of color\, especially young men\, identifying with the GOP?\n\nGUEST SPEAKER BIO\n\nLOREN KAJIKAWA is Associate Professor and Chair of the music program at the George Washington University’s Corcoran School of the Arts & Design.
