This article draws on ethnographic research conducted in 2015 with Hip Hop dancers in Perth, as well as my own personal engagement as a Breaking practitioner, to examine how membership within the local Perth Hip Hop dance scene is made and negotiated. The focus of this article is on the processual, embodied and locally particular aspects of personhood, alhough specifically my concern is with how Hip Hop dancers themselves make sense of, experience and authenticate persons within their own specific local and social context. My ethnographic observations and discussions of the Perth Hip Hop dance scene contribute to broader anthropological debates on personhood by drawing attention to the importance of being connected and actively involved in Hip Hop dancing practices and local Hip Hop dancing events. This research illustrates how personhood in Hip Hop is something that is continually being remade and renegotiated over time and across different spaces, in addition to the significance of one's body in the negotiation process (An earlier version of this article was presented at the 2017 Australian Anthropological Society (AAS) conference at the University of Adelaide.).

嘻哈人士谈判：真实性，参与性和在西澳大利亚州珀斯的活动

本文借鉴了2015年在珀斯与Hip Hop舞者进行的人种学研究，以及我个人作为Breaking Practice的个人参与情况，以研究如何在珀斯Hip Hop舞会现场进行成员身份的建立和谈判。本文的重点是关于人格的过程性，体现性和局部性方面，尽管我特别关注的是嘻哈舞者自身如何在自己特定的本地和社会背景下理解，体验和验证人们。我的人种学观察和对珀斯Hip Hop舞蹈场景的讨论，通过提请人们注意并积极参与Hip Hop舞蹈练习和当地Hip Hop舞蹈活动的重要性，促进了关于人格的更广泛的人类学辩论。
