Defend Multiculturalism – Don't Let Cameron Divide Us MODEL MOTION Defend multiculturalism – don’t let cameron divide us MODEL MOTION 1) This [trade union branch/organisation] supports: the statement below, fi rst published on 9 February 2011 with a list of prominent backers including MPs, campaigners, artists and musicians. 2) This [trade union branch/organisation] agrees: – to add our organisation’s name to the online version of the statement at http://is.gd/multicultural – to circulate the online statement link to our members and urge them to sign the statement individually – to donate £______ towards the cost of an advert in the Guardian to show Cameron the strength and breadth of opposition to his attack. Please make your donation online using the £8,000 advert appeal button at http://uaf.org.uk or send a cheque by post to: Unite Against Fascism, PO Box 36871, London WC1X 9XT. Please make the cheque payable to UAF, and write “Guardian advert” on the back. STATEMENT We believe David Cameron’s statement that multiculturalism has failed was a dangerous declaration of intent. David Cameron’s speech was reminiscent of Margaret Thatcher’s infamous 1978 statement that Britain was “being swamped by alien cultures”. He has branded Britain’s Muslims as the new “enemy within” in the same way as Thatcher attacked the miners and trade unions. David Cameron is attempting to drive a wedge between diff erent communities by linking Britain’s multicultural society with terrorism and national security. David Cameron’s speech was made on the same day as the English Defence League brought its bigotry and violence to the streets of Luton. Mr Cameron’s aim is simple as it is crude – to defl ect the anger against his government’s cuts from the bankers and onto the Muslim community. The prime minister is aping attacks by other European leaders like France’s Nicolas Sarkozy, who passed legislation banning the veil, and Angela Merkel, who has also made statements denouncing multiculturalism in Germany. We believe that our multicultural society and the respect and solidarity it is built on is a cause for pride, and reject any moves by this government to undermine and destroy it. We must not allow this coalition government to turn the tide back to the days when it was acceptable, through ignorance and fear, for people with a diff erent religion, culture or skin colour to be scapegoated and treated as inferior or outsiders.

  • Music Recommendation Algorithms: Discovering Weekly Or Discovering
    MUSIC RECOMMENDATION ALGORITHMS Music Recommendation Algorithms: Discovering Weekly or Discovering Weakly? Jennie Silber Muhlenberg College, Allentown, PA, USA Media & Communication Department Undergraduate High Honors Thesis April 1, 2019 1 MUSIC RECOMMENDATION ALGORITHMS 2 MUSIC RECOMMENDATION ALGORITHMS Abstract This thesis analyzes and assesses the cultural impact and economic viability that the top music streaming platforms have on the consumption and discovery of music, with a specific focus on recommendation algorithms. Through the support of scholarly and journalistic research as well as my own user experience, I evaluate the known constructs that fuel algorithmic recommendations, but also make educated inferences about the variables concealed from public knowledge. One of the most significant variables delineated throughout this thesis is the power held by human curators and the way they interact with algorithms to frame and legitimize content. Additionally, I execute my own experiment by creating new user profiles on the two streaming platforms popularly used for the purpose of discovery, Spotify and SoundCloud, and record each step of the music discovery process experienced by a new user. After listening to an equal representation of all genre categories within each platform, I then compare the genre, release year, artist status, and content promotion gathered from my listening history to the algorithmically-generated songs listed in my ‘Discover Weekly’ and ‘SoundCloud Weekly’ personalized playlists. The results from this experiment demonstrate that the recommendation algorithms that power these discovery playlists intrinsically facilitate the perpetuation of a star- driven, “winner-take-all” marketplace, where new, popular, trendy, music is favored, despite how diverse of a selection the music being listened to is.

  • The Politics of Independent Hip-Hop a Dissertation Submitted in Partial
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA RIVERSIDE Just Say No to 360s: The Politics of Independent Hip-Hop A Dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology by Christopher Sangalang Vito June 2017 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Ellen Reese, Chairperson Dr. Adalberto Aguirre, Jr. Dr. Lan Duong Dr. Alfredo M. Mirandé Copyright by Christopher Sangalang Vito 2017 The Dissertation of Christopher Sangalang Vito is approved: Committee Chairperson University of California, Riverside ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my family and friends for their endless love and support, my dissertation committee for their care and guidance, my colleagues for the smiles and laughs, my students for their passion, everyone who has helped me along my path, and most importantly I would like to thank hip-hop for saving my life. iv DEDICATION For my mom. v ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Just Say No to 360s: The Politics of Independent Hip-Hop by Christopher Sangalang Vito Doctor of Philosophy, Graduate Program in Sociology University of California, Riverside, June 2017 Dr. Ellen Reese, Chairperson My dissertation addresses to what extent and how independent hip-hop challenges or reproduces U.S. mainstream hip-hop culture and U.S. culture more generally. I contend that independent hip-hop remains a complex contemporary subculture. My research design utilizes a mixed methods approach. First, I analyze the lyrics of independent hip-hop albums through a content analysis of twenty-five independent albums from 2000-2013. I uncover the dominant ideologies of independent hip-hop artists regarding race, class, gender, sexual orientation, and calls for social change.
