  • Arts and the City Abstract Booklet
    Arts and the City International Conference Budapest, 23-24 May 2019 Booklet of Abstracts artsandthecity2019.wordpress.com Keynote Speakers BERNARDINE EVARISTO, writer, London (author of Lara, Soul Tourists and Blonde Roots, among other novels) “The Many Londons of Amazing London: The Capital as Muse & City of Experimentation for this Black Woman Writer” As a writer of fiction and verse fiction, London has been a muse in most of my eight books. I am constantly finding ways to narrativize it from multiple perspectives, and through different eras and generations, as well as creating imaginary versions of the capital city in two of my books where I invented parallel universes. In my talk I will investigate how London has manifested as a guiding light for my imagination, how my writing subverts the dominant narratives about the city today and in history, and how London’s rich multiculturalism presents never-ending possibilities for creativity and storytelling. ANDREW GIBSON, Royal Holloway, University of London “The City and the Historicity of Affect in European Art Cinema 1945-80” The city, the metropolis, the megalopolis is what is increasingly given us to think and think from. Cities are where we can pursue truth and reality. What exactly does the city, or, if you like, the planetary megalopolis gives us to think? For me, above all, a historical materialism; but a historical materialism that is sui generis, of its own kind, not to be confused with other historical materialisms, a historical materialism specifically of the city. On the one hand, self- evidently, cities are always material entities, cannot be otherwise.

Aesthetic Citizenship: Popular Culture, Migrant Youth, and the Making of 'World Class' Delhi Abstract Delhi has nearly doubled in population since the early 1990s due to in-migration (censusindia.gov, 2011). These migrants, like migrants around the world, strive to adapt to their new surroundings by producing themselves in ways which make them socially, economically, and politically viable. My project examines how recent international and intranational immigrant youth who have come to Delhi to partake in its economic possibilities and, in some cases, to escape political uncertainty, are utilizing globally circulating popular cultural forms to make themselves visible in a moment when the city strives to recast its image as a world class destination for roaming capital (Roy, 2011). I focus on two super diverse settlement communities in South Delhi to explore the citizenship making claims of immigrant youth who, to date, have been virtually invisible in academic and popular narratives of the city. Specifically, I follow three groups of ethnically diverse migrant youth from these two settlement communities as they engage with hip hop, a popular cultural form originating in Black American communities in the 1970s (Chang, 2006; Morgan, 2009; Rose, 1994).

  • FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE September 26, 2012 FIVE FINGER
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE September 26, 2012 FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH'S AMERICAN CAPITALIST CERTIFIED GOLD RIAA Award Marks Third Consecutive Album To Reach Milestone on Prospect Park Records Las Vegas, NV - Five Finger Death Punch's American Capitalist (Prospect Park) has been certified gold by the RIAA for shipping over 500,000 copies in the U.S. This milestone marks the third consecutive release from the band to achieve gold certification, with The Way of The Fist (2007) and War Is The Answer (2009) achieving this feat prior. American Capitalist debuted at number 3 on the Billboard charts on October 11, 2011. In a challenging retail environment, Five Finger Death Punch is one of the few amongst any genre to consistently see significant success both digitally and physically. The band's album sales are complemented with steady single sales that cumulatively have surpassed 3.6 million songs sold. On achieving this significant milestone with three consecutive gold certified albums, guitarist Zoltan Bathory shared, "I think it's a huge win for all of us, not just for us as a band but for the entire genre of Hard Rock and Heavy Metal. This is a loud and clear indicator that heavy music is in demand and if a relatively new band like us can accomplish something like this, then maybe be this is just the prelude for the shape of things to come." "The hard work continues to pay off. In a time when rock is supposed to have one foot in the grave and the idea of selling albums has become a lost cause, FFDP and Prospect Park have continued to defy industry expectations and have triumphed again - with a third straight gold record, ten Top Ten singles at Active Rock radio, a Number One song in 'Coming Down,' and a whole legion of dedicated fans!" said Prospect Park Records' Deb Klein.

Included is an examination of literature and creative work focused on the Golden Age of Hip-Hop that explores early sampling processes and techniques. Through original compositions and an exegesis, the study provides unique and significant contributions to the field including the identification of four approaches to the design and construction of sample-based composition and associated techniques for achieving them using contemporary music technologies. The Golden Age of Hip-Hop is presented as a historical period of musical significance, not only for defining new genres and sub genres of music, but because of the influencing factors that emerging technologies had on new compositional processes and outcomes.

  • Notes on Identity and Politics in the Native American Indian Hip Hop Community
    Native American Indian Hip Hop By Neal Ullestad Native American Indian Hip Hop 2 ABSTRACT Notes on Identity and Politics in the Native American Indian Hip Hop Community 1/25/12 This article raises several questions for analysis regarding identity and politics in indigenous hip hop in the United States. Asking how community, home, land, patriarchy and colonialism affect expressed indigenous hip hop identities, and how pedagogy, affirmation and play are exhibited in Native lyrical content, primarily positive examples are examined. Native American Indian Hip Hop 3 Forged in the creative imagination of identities in resistance to imposed defeat, loss of land and culture, and stereotypes that enable oppression, Native American Indian rappers are today making a positive impact in indigenous communities across the country. Using the most modern musical techniques and sounds, they carry forward elements of the wisdom of the past. Gabriel Yaiva, Diné hip hop artist and activist from Arizona, who listens for wisdom in the “sounds of the ancients,” wonders on “Many Ways to Grow Corn,” “Who’s planning for the Seventh Generation?” (Summer Solstice, 2009) At the same time that he ponders the future, Yaiva pronounces that “there was a time when we had to wait in line to be heard.” That time has passed, and indigenous activists are speaking out, telling their stories and working together in coalitions – with natives and non-natives alike – to take control of their lives, culture and environment. An amazing array of young indigenous people is utilizing hip hop and rap as a vehicle to organize for justice and well-being and to express their Native identities.

  • Hindustani Music[Edit] Carnatic Music[Edit]
    The music of India includes multiple varieties of folk, popular, pop, classical music andR&B. India's classical music tradition, including Carnatic and Hindustani music, has a history spanning millennia and developed over several eras. Music in India began as an integral part of socio-religious life and that Indian music is essentially melodic: sounds follow one another expressing an emotional state in an aesthetic unity.[1] Two main traditions of classical music are Carnatic music, found predominantly in the peninsular regions, and Hindustani music, found in the northern and central regions.[2] The basic concepts of this music includes Shruti, Swara, Alankar, Rāga, and Tāla. Its tonal system divides the octave into 22 segments called shrutis, not all equal but each roughly equal to one quarter of a whole tone of Western music. Melody is based on the system of ragas, which are melody types used as the basis for improvisation. Hindustani music[edit] Main article: Hindustani classical music Hindustani music tradition was developed around 13th and 14th centuries AD with Persian influences and from existing religious and folk music.[3] The practice of singing based on notes was popular even from the Vedic times where the hymns in Sama Veda, a sacred text, were sung as Samagana and not chanted. Developing a strong and diverse tradition over several centuries, it has contemporary traditions established primarily in India but also in Pakistan and Bangladesh. In contrast to Carnatic music, the other main Indian classical music tradition originating from the South, Hindustani music was not only influenced by ancient Hindu musical traditions, historical Vedic philosophy and native Indian sounds but also enriched by the Persian performance practices of the Mughals.
