  • Idioms-And-Expressions.Pdf
    Idioms and Expressions by David Holmes A method for learning and remembering idioms and expressions I wrote this model as a teaching device during the time I was working in Bangkok, Thai- land, as a legal editor and language consultant, with one of the Big Four Legal and Tax companies, KPMG (during my afternoon job) after teaching at the university. When I had no legal documents to edit and no individual advising to do (which was quite frequently) I would sit at my desk, (like some old character out of a Charles Dickens’ novel) and prepare language materials to be used for helping professionals who had learned English as a second language—for even up to fifteen years in school—but who were still unable to follow a movie in English, understand the World News on TV, or converse in a colloquial style, because they’d never had a chance to hear and learn com- mon, everyday expressions such as, “It’s a done deal!” or “Drop whatever you’re doing.” Because misunderstandings of such idioms and expressions frequently caused miscom- munication between our management teams and foreign clients, I was asked to try to as- sist. I am happy to be able to share the materials that follow, such as they are, in the hope that they may be of some use and benefit to others. The simple teaching device I used was three-fold: 1. Make a note of an idiom/expression 2. Define and explain it in understandable words (including synonyms.) 3. Give at least three sample sentences to illustrate how the expression is used in context.

  • The Death of the Critic?: a Roundtable on the Future of Music Criticism in the Digital Age
    The Death of the Critic?: A Roundtable on the Future of Music Criticism in the Digital Age Moderated by Ann Powers Annenberg School for Communication University of Southern California September 24, 2008 1 The Norman Lear Center The Death of the Critic The Death of the Critic?: A Roundtable on the Future of Music Criticism in the Digital Age “The death of the critic” has become a catchphrase in discussing how the Internet has affected arts writing, nowhere more so than in music journalism. The avalanche of blogs written by everyone from veteran writers to neophytes has called into question the need for professional music writers. The availability of music in the Internet challenges the old idea that criticism is at its heart about description and assessment: why would a reader need someone else’s words about a song when she can just listen herself? And the shrinking availability of space in print publications, combined with the widespread belief that readers online have the attention spans of toddlers, has made it hard to justify long-form essays on music or anything else. Yet music writing continues to have an important presence in the culture, and arguably it is a primary pioneering form, allowing for writers to experiment with the new frameworks the Internet demands. At the same time, more great music books are being published than ever, and general interest publications are publishing more writers on pop. So is music criticism dying or being reborn? Our panel of professionals discusses the perils and possibilities. The Norman Lear Center Participants The Norman Lear Center is a multidisciplinary Lorraine Ali (Newsweek) research and public policy center exploring Ayala Ben-Yehuda (Billboard) implications of the convergence of entertain- Ernest Hardy (LA Weekly) ment, commerce, and society.

  • ABSTRACT Love, Jon Andrew Ryan Nichols Director: Sarah-Jane
    ABSTRACT Love, Jon Andrew Ryan Nichols Director: Sarah-Jane Murray, Ph.D. Sometimes in life, there are stories born inside of us that we cannot shake. I was truck with such inspiration early in life and chose to ignore it. Recently, I was given a second chance at choosing a thesis topic and decided to give life to the story I had held inside. This is a story about a young musician named Jon who returns home to his mother’s diner a failure. Once home, he must face the several choices. Will he rekindle his music career, or will he let his past define him? Will he profess his love for his childhood best friend, or will he keep the status quo? Most importantly, will he let his pride get in the way of laying his ghosts to rest and getting everything he’s ever wanted?

  • Exploring Cross-Gender Cover Songs of the Rolling Stones’
    COVERING THE TRACKS: EXPLORING CROSS-GENDER COVER SONGS OF THE ROLLING STONES’ “SATISFACTION” by STEPHANIE DELANE DOKTOR (Under the Direction of Susan Thomas) ABSTRACT The 1965 Rolling Stones’ hit, “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction,” epitomizes domineering masculinity and aggressive sexuality. Saturated with unrelenting rhythms, emphatic vocal delivery, cocky and phallocentric lyrics, musical climaxes, and abrasive guitar timbres, “Satisfaction” has been regarded by many scholars and music critics as the anthem of the cock rock genre—a music representative of male power and domination. Yet despite the song’s association with a particular type of (white) male-identified, virile (hetero)sexuality, it has been covered by a variety of musicians of different races, genders, and sexualities. This thesis explores three cross-gender covers of “Satisfaction” recorded and performed by PJ Harvey and Björk (duet, 1994), Britney Spears (2000), and Cat Power (2000). Using theories of intertextuality, this project examines the ways in which all three musicians manipulate and subvert the dominant paradigms of the original song.
