  • Phylogenetic Reconstruction of the Cultural Evolution of Electronic Music Via Dynamic Community Detection (1975–1999)
    Phylogenetic reconstruction of the cultural evolution of electronic music via dynamic community detection (1975{1999) Mason Youngblooda,b,1, Karim Baraghithc, and Patrick E. Savaged a Department of Psychology, The Graduate Center, City University of New York, New York, NY, USA bDepartment of Biology, Queens College, City University of New York, Flushing, NY, USA cDepartment of Philosophy, DCLPS, Heinrich-Heine University, D¨usseldorf,NRW, Germany dFaculty of Environment and Information Studies, Keio University SFC, Fujisawa, Japan [email protected] Abstract Cultural phylogenies, or \trees" of culture, are typically built using methods from biology that use similarities and differences in artifacts to infer the historical relationships between the populations that produced them. While these methods have yielded important insights, particularly in linguistics, researchers continue to debate the extent to which cultural phylogenies are tree-like or reticulated due to high levels of horizontal transmission. In this study, we propose a novel method for phylogenetic reconstruction using dynamic community detection that explicitly accounts for transmission between lineages. We used data from 1,498,483 collaborative relationships between electronic music artists to construct a cultural phylogeny based on observed population structure. The results suggest that, although the phylogeny is fun- damentally tree-like, horizontal transmission is common and populations never become fully isolated from one another. In addition, we found evidence that electronic music diversity has increased between 1975 and 1999. The method used in this study is available as a new R package called DynCommPhylo. Future studies should apply this method to other cultural systems such as academic publishing and film, as well as biological systems where high resolution reproductive data is available, to assess how levels of reticulation in evolution vary across domains.

  • Vicissitudes of Youth Culture: Primary Epoch to the New Fangled World Jaspreet Kaur Student of M
    International Journal of Humanities & Social Science Studies (IJHSSS) A Peer-Reviewed Bi-monthly Bi-lingual Research Journal ISSN: 2349-6959 (Online), ISSN: 2349-6711 (Print) Volume-II, Issue-II, September 2015, Page No. 303-319 Published by Scholar Publications, Karimganj, Assam, India, 788711 Website: http://www.ijhsss.com Vicissitudes of Youth Culture: Primary Epoch to the New Fangled World Jaspreet Kaur Student of M. E d., Punjab University, Chandigarh, India Abstract In historical terms, the study of "youth cultures" is a relatively new of area of sociological analysis. The term youth culture is used generally in reference to the ways adolescents set themselves apart from the adult culture. The study of youth culture in the social and human sciences has become a major academic enterprise since the 1960s. Hip hop culture or hip-hop is a cultural movement that formed during the late 1960s among African American youths residing in the South Bronx in New York City. Punk "started out as a music-based subculture"; that much is agreed upon by all, whether they laud punk or deplore it. In sociology, the jock is thought to be included within the socialite subculture, which also contains the preps and Ivy-Leaguers. Geoffrey Pearson in his work namely "Hooligan: A History of Respectable Fears" published in 1983 gives us a solid historical perspective on the "recurrent problem of youth" in Britain throughout the 19th and 20th centuries. In recent developments in identity theory, identities are organized as control systems that act to maintain congruency between the internalized self-meanings (one's identity standard) and perceptions of the meaning of the self in ongoing social situations.

In the beginning, the story goes, disco was gay: Gay dancers went to gay clubs, celebrated their newly liberated status by dancing with other men, and discovered a vicarious voice in the form of disco’s soul and gospel-oriented divas. Received wisdom has it that straights, having played no part in this embryonic moment, co-opted the culture after they cottoned onto its chic status and potential profitability.

SHORT SYNOPSIS This electrifying journey through the public and private worlds of pop culture mega-icon Grace Jones juxtaposes musical sequences with intimate personal footage, all the while brimming with Jones’s bold aesthetic. A larger-than-life entertainer, an androgynous glam-pop diva, an unpredictable media presence––Grace Jones is all these things and more. Sophie Fiennes’s documentary goes beyond the traditional music biography, offering a portrait as stylish and unconventional as its subject. Taking us home to Jamaica, the studio with long-time collaborators Sly & Robbie, and behind-the-scenes at shows all around the world, the film reveals Jones as lover, daughter, mother, and businesswoman. But the stage is the fixed point to which the film returns, with eye- popping performances of "Slave to the Rhythm," “Pull Up to the Bumper,” "Love is the Drug," and more. Jones herself has said watching the film “will be like seeing me almost naked” and, indeed, Fiennes’s treatment is every bit as genre-bending as its subject, untamed by neither age nor life itself.

L’audace estetica di Jones emerge nell’intera pellicola grazie al sapiente lavoro delle regista Sophie Fiennes, capace di creare un’esperienza cinematografica di grande potenza, accostando a contrasto sequenze musicali, riprese più intime e materiale personale per ritrarre la persona che si nasconde dietro la maschera indossata dall’artista sul palco. SINOSSI LUNGA Fuori dal comune, selvaggia, strepitosa e androgina – Grace Jones è tutto questo e molto altro. Il documentario tratteggia un profilo inedito della Jones: amante, figlia, madre, sorella e nonna, senza filtri, alla ricerca di chi si cela davvero dietro la maschera da diva. Il palcoscenico è il luogo dove si possono realizzare le fantasie più estreme e dove si può sprigionare in libertà la fantasia: è proprio sul palcoscenico che si mette in scena il musical della vita di Grace Jones. Il film include, tra gli altri, frammenti di performance inedite tratte dalle sue canzoni più famose come Slave To The Rhythm e Pull Up To The Bumper, ma anche brani autobiografici e più recenti come Williams' Blood, This Is e Hurricane.

  • University of Nevada, Reno Partying with Hello Kitty: How Electronic Dance Music and Rave Culture Are Transforming, Commercializ
    University of Nevada, Reno Partying with Hello Kitty: How Electronic Dance Music and Rave Culture are transforming, commercializing, and globalizing youth culture in the twenty-first century A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History By Geoff Scott Dr. Hugh Shapiro/Thesis Advisor May 2014 i Abstract This thesis will demonstrate how electronic dance music (EDM) has evolved from the musical underground during the second half of the twentieth century into the mainstream, commercial powerhouse it is now in the early twenty-first-century world. EDM at its core is a musical style characterized by the use of synthetic, electronic sounds. The combination of technological devices such as drum machines, repetitive bass lines, electronic builds and releases and inorganic noises in tandem with instrumental and vocal samples makes EDM an incredibly malleable style of dance music that has branched into a variety of forms over the course of its less than fifty year existence. Innovations in technology, like the tape reel, the Moog synthesizer, the vinyl mixer and the computer have led to new ways of contemplating and creating music. I argue that the innovative musical voices of late modernism and early postmodernism set the foundation for early EDM, who were not afraid to harness the new synthetic sounds at their disposal. Electronic dance music can trace its roots back to the repetitive, minimalist structures used since the 1960’s by postmodern composers such as Philip Glass and the electronic instrumentation of artists like Terry Riley and John Cage. Owing to its flexibility, EDM has also been re-contextualized in different cultures.

  • The Forging of a White Gay Aesthetic at the Saint, 1980–84
    The Forging of a White Gay Aesthetic at the Saint, 1980–84 Feature Article Tim Lawrence University of East London Abstract An influential private party for white gay men that opened in downtown New York in 1980 and closed in 1988, the Saint was a prolific employer of high-profile DJs, yet their work has gone largely unanalysed. This article describes and contextualises the aesthetic of these DJs, paying particular attention to the way they initially embraced music recorded by African American musicians, yet shifted to a notably “whiter” sound across 1982 and 1983, during which time new wave and Hi-NRG recordings were heard much more regularly at the spot. The piece argues that this shift took place as a result of a number of factors, including the introduction of a consumer ethos at the venue, the deepening influence of identity politics and the encroaching impact of AIDS, which decimated the venue’s membership. These developments led Saint DJs to place an ever-greater emphasis on the creation of a smooth and seamless aesthetic that enhanced the crowd’s embrace of a synchronized dancing style. DJs working in electronic dance music scenes would go on to adopt important elements of this approach. Keywords: The Saint, DJing, whiteness, neoliberalism, AIDS Tim Lawrence is the author of Love Saves the Day: A History of Dance Music Culture (1970–79) (Duke, 2003) and Hold On to Your Dreams: Arthur Russell and the Downtown Music Scene, 1973–92 (Duke, 2009). He is currently writing a book on New York club culture, 1980–84, again for Duke, and leads the Music Culture: Theory and Production programme at the University of East London.
