As part of ongoing research into antisemitism within the UK, I have been following the Palestinian Solidarity Campaign closely for over two years. I have gone to many events, different branches and attended their AGM. Antisemitism has been present consistently. Not an antisemitism that is explained away as a slightly exaggerated description of Israel’s activity, but hard-core ‘Jewish global domination’ type. At these events, I have engaged in conversations with PSC members about their belief about global Jewish control. Analysing online activity of PSC activists at each individual branch, and then culminating in an intensive analysis of ideological drivers of activists at a mass protest, this research suggests that over 40% of all public PSC protest activity is driven by antisemitic motivation.

  • 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 Importance Of The Poetry Book In The Digital Age How Far Digital Technology Has Influenced Contemporary Poetry And The Status Of The Poetry Book & The Birth of Romance A Poetry Collection A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Creative Writing at the University of Birmingham by Philip Monks Submitted 27th September 2017 This corrected version 1st March 2018 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT An examination through the creation and curation of a printed poetry collection, together with other practice-based and wider research, of how far digital technology has influenced contemporary poetry and the status of the poetry book. Personal practice is considered and analysed and, from this, and research leading out from this, a more general survey provided of the impact of digital technology on the poet’s persona, the creation of the poems themselves and on their dissemination. These wider issues, and the practice-based research that underlies them, inform the specific consideration of the extent to which digital technology has affected the nature and importance of the single collection poetry book in the early part of the twenty-first century.
