One-Track Mind Capitalism Technology and the Art of the Pop Song

One-Track Mind Capitalism Technology and the Art of the Pop Song

The song remains the most basic unit of modern pop music. Shaped into being by historical forces—cultural aesthetic and technical—the song provides both performer and audience with a world marked off by a short discrete and temporally demarcated experience. One-Track Mind: Capitalism Technology and the Art of the Pop Song brings together 16 writers to weigh in on 16 iconic tracks from the history of modern popular music. Arranged chronologically in order of release of the tracks and spanning nearly five decades these essays zigzag across the cultural landscape to present one possible history of pop music. There are detours through psychedelic rock Afro-pop Latin pop glam rock heavy metal punk postpunk adult contemporary rock techno hip-hop and electro-pop here. More than just deep histories of individual songs these essays all expand far beyond the track itself to offer exciting and often counterintuitive histories of transformative moments in popular culture. Collectively they show the undiminished power of the individual pop song both as distillations of important flashpoints and in their afterlives as ghostly echoes that persist undiminished but transform for succeeding generations. Capitalism and its principal good capital help us frame these stories a fact that should surprise no one given the inextricable relationship between art and capitalism established in the twentieth century. At the root readers will find here a history of pop with unexpected plot twists colorful protagonists and fitting denouements. | One-Track Mind Capitalism Technology and the Art of the Pop Song

The Treason of the Intellectuals

The Treason of the Intellectuals

Julien Benda's classic study of 1920s Europe resonates today. The treason of the intellectuals is a phrase that evokes much but is inherently ambiguous. The book bearing this title is well known but little understood. This edition is introduced by Roger Kimball. From the time of the pre-Socratics intellectuals were a breed apart. They were non-materialistic knowledge-seekers who believed in a universal humanism and represented a cornerstone of civilized society. According to Benda this all began to change in the early twentieth century. In Europe in the 1920s intellectuals began abandoning their attachment to traditional philosophical and scholarly ideals and instead glorified particularisms and moral relativism. The treason of which Benda writes is the betrayal by the intellectuals of their unique vocation. He criticizes European intellectuals for allowing political commitment to insinuate itself into their understanding of the intellectual vocation ushering the world into the age of the intellectual organization of political hatreds. From the savage flowering of ethnic and religious hatreds in the Middle East and throughout Europe today to the mendacious demand for political correctness and multiculturalism on college campuses everywhere in the West the treason of the intellectuals continues to play out its unedifying drama.

Music in a New Found Land Themes and Developments in the History of American Music

Music in a New Found Land Themes and Developments in the History of American Music

The subject of this book is accurately defined by its subtitle. Music in a New Found Land does not pretend to be a comprehensive history of American music. Nor does Mellers strive to catalog what he considers to be authentic American music. Instead he deals in some detail with comparatively few composers most of whom have wellestablished reputations. It has always been difficult to separate American music from its immediate relevance to the twentieth century. Mellers' theme involves the relationship between art music jazz and pop music; he sees the segregation of these genres as both illogical and artifi cial. If the pop music of Tin Pan Alley may be anti-art it has also produced Gershwin Ellington and composing improvisers such as Louis Armstrong Charlie Parker and Miles Davis. The study of American music is as relevant into any inquiry into a national culture as the study of American literature and painting. This book contains a large number of quotations from American writers because Mellers thought American sensibility should parallel reinforce and comment on American music. In sum this is the closest available one-volume history of American music and a window into American culture. | Music in a New Found Land Themes and Developments in the History of American Music

Rednecks Eggheads and Blackfellas A study of racial power and intimacy in Australia

Rednecks Eggheads and Blackfellas A study of racial power and intimacy in Australia

This lively book brings the reader close to the people from a remote cattle station in far north Australia where black and white peoples' lives have been intertwined over the span of 80 years. Tracing the humorous savage and ordinary ways in which race structured intimate and everyday relationships across a great divide Gillian Cowlishaw makes startling and original arguments about race relations. By investigating specific patterns of interaction on Australia's cultural frontier Rednecks Eggheads and Blackfellas illustrates how anthropologists pastoralists and government officials squabbled about Aborigines as they intruded into their country controlled aspects of their lives and dominated the way they were represented in the public realm. The ironic title hints that the difference between 'redneck' pastoralists and 'egghead' anthropologists is not so great as might be imagined. Aborigines were central to the projects of both kinds of whitefellas. Weaving the shifts in government policy and public opinion with accounts of their sometimes ludicrous impact on outback communities this book brings to life the complexities of living with racial categories. And it asks why increasingly enlightened anti-racist policies seldom seem to have worked as intended even in this era of self-determination. This thought provoking work will speak not only to anthropologists and those interested in Aboriginal Australia but to scholars of race more generally especially in the burgeoning field of whiteness studies. | Rednecks Eggheads and Blackfellas A study of racial power and intimacy in Australia

Early Celtic Art From Its Origins to Its Aftermath

Early Celtic Art From Its Origins to Its Aftermath

For many perhaps most the title Early Celtic Art summons up images of Early Christian stone crosses in Ireland Scotland Wales or Cornwall; of Glendalough lona or Tintagel; of the Ardagh Chalice or the Monymusk Reliquary; of the great illuminated gospels of Durrow or Lindisfame. But as Stuart Piggott notes the consummate works of art produced under the aegis of the early churches in Britain or Ireland in regions Celtic by tradition or language have an ancestry behind them only partly Celtic. One strain in an eclectic style was borrowed from the ornament of the northern Germanic world the classical Mediterranean and even the Eastern churches. Early Celtic art originating in the fifth century b. c. in Central Europe was already seven or eight centuries old when it was last traced in the pagan prehistoric world and the transmission of some of its modes and motifs over a further span of centuries into the Christian Middle Ages was an even later phenomenon. This volume presents the art of the prehistoric Celtic peoples the first great contribution of the barbarians to European arts. It is an art produced in circumstances that the classical world and contemporary societiesunhesitatingly recognize as uncivilized. Its appearance it has been said by N. K. Sandars in Prehistoric Art in Europe: is perhaps one of the oddest and most unlikely things to have come out of a barbarian continent. Its peculiar refinement delicacy and equilibrium are not altogether what one would expect of men who though courageous and not without honor even in the records of their enemies were also savage cruel and often disgusting; for the archaeological refuse as well as the reports of Classical antiquity agree in this verdict. This book comprises the first major exhibition of Early Celtic Art from its origins and beginnings to its aftermath and was assembled by Stuart Piggott who taught later European prehistory to Honors students in Archaeology at the University of Edinburgh where he held the Abercromy Chair. He retired from the Chair in 1977 and in 1983 he received the gold medal of the Society of Antiquaries of London as well as the Grahame Clark medal of the British Academy in 1992. Through his knowledge of the subject he has made accessible an obscure but fascinating period of European culture. | Early Celtic Art From Its Origins to Its Aftermath

Claes Oldenburg's Theater of Vision Poetry Sculpture Film and Performance Art

Claes Oldenburg's Theater of Vision Poetry Sculpture Film and Performance Art

In four chronologically organized chapters this study traces the conceptual dependence and deep connectivity among Claes Oldenburg’s poetry sculpture films and performance art between 1956 and 1965. This research-intensive book argues that Oldenburg’s art relies on machine vision and other metaphors to visualize the structure and image content of human thought as an artistic problem. Anchored in new oral history interviews and extensive archival material it brings together understudied visual and concrete poetry experimental films fifteen group performances (commonly referred to as happenings) and a close analysis of his well-known installations of The Street (1960) and The Store (1961–62) effectively setting in place a reexamination of Oldenburg’s pop art from the street store home and cinema years. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history film studies performance studies literature intermedia studies and media theory. | Claes Oldenburg's Theater of Vision Poetry Sculpture Film and Performance Art

Female Masculinity and the Business of Emotions in Tokyo

Female Masculinity and the Business of Emotions in Tokyo

Female Masculinity and the Business of Emotions in Tokyo investigates the novel “emotion business” of dansō escorting as a phenomenon emerging between gender performativity and pop-culture commodified relationships and the wish for self-expression. Fanasca documents the dreams ambitions and fears of young crossdresser escorts negotiating their identity with and within the Japanese society as well as those of crossdresser escorts’ clients: women looking for the perfect man and the opportunity to experience emotions. Combining anthropological sociological and gender studies theories with an ethnographic approach Fanasca argues that dansō crossdressing is the tool used by a sector of Japanese women to resist the heteronormative and patriarchal society and its expectations while reinventing themselves and their identities looking for self-actualization. Female Masculinity and the Business of Emotions Tokyo is an interdisciplinary work which will interest both scholars and students of Japanese studies gender studies and anthropology. | Female Masculinity and the Business of Emotions in Tokyo

Pencils of Cubics and Algebraic Curves in the Real Projective Plane

Pencils of Cubics and Algebraic Curves in the Real Projective Plane

Pencils of Cubics and Algebraic Curves in the Real Projective Plane thoroughly examines the combinatorial configurations of n generic points in RP². Especially how it is the data describing the mutual position of each point with respect to lines and conics passing through others. The first section in this book answers questions such as can one count the combinatorial configurations up to the action of the symmetric group? How are they pairwise connected via almost generic configurations? These questions are addressed using rational cubics and pencils of cubics for n = 6 and 7. The book’s second section deals with configurations of eight points in the convex position. Both the combinatorial configurations and combinatorial pencils are classified up to the action of the dihedral group D8. Finally the third section contains plentiful applications and results around Hilbert’s sixteenth problem. The author meticulously wrote this book based upon years of research devoted to the topic. The book is particularly useful for researchers and graduate students interested in topology algebraic geometry and combinatorics. Features: Examines how the shape of pencils depends on the corresponding configurations of points Includes topology of real algebraic curves Contains numerous applications and results around Hilbert’s sixteenth problem About the Author: Séverine Fiedler-le Touzé has published several papers on this topic and has been invited to present at many conferences. She holds a Ph. D. from University Rennes1 and was a post-doc at the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute in Berkeley California.

Musical Psychedelia Research at the Intersection of Music and Psychedelic Experience

Musical Psychedelia Research at the Intersection of Music and Psychedelic Experience

Psychedelic music is a fascinating yet under-researched field of study. This thought-provoking collection offers a broad introduction to the field of psychedelic music studies bringing together scholarly work on psychedelic music in genres like rock folk electronic dance music and pop. Through an expanded purview on psychedelic music an emerging trend in research the collection affords students and academics alike an introduction to a rich multi-faceted field. The contributing authors explore a range of different facets of musical psychedelia: its transgressive and transcendent aspects its foregrounding of timbre and texture the way it changes our perception of time its influence on “non-psychedelic” music key composition and production techniques that composers and musicians use in its creation how it is mediated by different places and spaces and the interplay between psychedelic visual and sonic aesthetics. This interdisciplinary work reveals both commonalities in musical psychedelic experiences and the contestation inherent in a field of study that juxtaposes music of different genres and eras with a variety of theoretical approaches and methodologies. In broadening the scope of psychedelic music research the collection not only makes for varied and absorbing reading on the subject level but also stimulates reflexive thought about interdisciplinary research. | Musical Psychedelia Research at the Intersection of Music and Psychedelic Experience
