ABSTRACT This article draws on Wallerstein’s notion of world-systems to contribute to the theorization of cultural hybrids. Through an analysis of hip hop and yoga, as well as their arrangement as a hip hop yoga class in Perth, Western Australia, this article offers a framework through which to explore the social (re)productions, expressions and consumptions, both within and across differing local and social contexts. In the article, we investigate how the emergence of hip hop yoga practices are accepted more easily in some places, but rejected in others. Our analysis does not aim to critique those who identify as members or practitioners of hip hop yoga, either in Perth or other locales, but is concerned more with the power structures that enable, produce and maintain these hybrids and enable them to succeed.

嘻哈作为装饰：西澳大利亚珀斯嘻哈和瑜伽的混合理论

摘要 本文借鉴沃勒斯坦的世界体系概念，为文化混合的理论化做出了贡献。通过对嘻哈和瑜伽的分析，以及它们作为西澳大利亚珀斯嘻哈瑜伽课程的安排，本文提供了一个框架，通过该框架来探索内部和外部的社会（再）制作、表达和消费不同的地方和社会背景。在文章中，我们调查了嘻哈瑜伽练习的出现如何在某些地方更容易被接受，而在其他地方却被拒绝。我们的分析并不旨在批评那些在珀斯或其他地方被认定为嘻哈瑜伽成员或从业者的人，而是更多地关注支持、生产和维持这些混合体并使其成功的权力结构。
