The shape of musical media using a politics of resistance has fundamentally changed in recent years due to the massive influence of the rise of the network society and digital distribution. Yet this resistance, I argue, is responding to an equal change in the way that dominant institutions exert their influence through these same means. In both cases, it is the new uses of media that shift the locus of power to the everyday lives of global citizens. I use Michel Foucault’s concept of biopolitical production as the primary strategy through which power is exercised as a mode of postmodern governance. Yet as the scope of this power expands to a global scale, this strategy appears to increasingly be supplanting traditional means of exercising power. Furthermore, I argue these strategies of governance have been the primary strategy of the global neoliberal project, particularly in its utilization of mediated cultural forms as a central conduit to populations. The place of music in this arrangement is as a unique and vital site of power negotiations of these relationships. I argue that there has been a real and fundamental change in the way in which these cultural forms are politicized in the era following the introduction of digital distribution networks. Following an introductory chapter, the next three chapters of this dissertation provide a theoretical and analytical background on the ordering of power, resistance, and the global music industry, dealing respectively with the rise of globalization and global capital structures, contemporary strategies of governance, and the political economy of the global music industry. Chapter Five uses as a case study the fascinating and problematic Rage Against the Machine, perhaps the most notable musical artist representing anti cultural resistance the pre-network 1990s. Chapter Six studies M.I.A., daughter of a notable Sri Lanka resistance fighter, as an artist whose music symbolizes the cultural politics of resistance representative of the various conceptualizations of iii postmodern power relations in the network age. Chapter Seven provides an in-depth conclusion to this dissertation by comparing and contrasting the structure, order, and exercise of power during these two eras. I find that new uses of global media represent an understated but great threat to human freedom as cultural forms become increasing politicized, yet at the same time offer great promise if certain strategies of popular resistance can be cultivated. In either case, popular music serves as a media form with great influence on a global scale for the articulation of the public’s values, beliefs, actions, and discourses, making it all the more important to consider as object of study in the network age. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION: THE SPEED OF SOUND……………………………...……………………1 CHAPTER TWO FLOWS AND NEGOTIATIONS: GLOBALIZATION, CAPITAL STRUCTURES, AND MUSICAL POSSIBILITIES……………………………………………20 CHAPTER THREE EVERYDAY CULTURAL NEGOTIATIONS: DOES MUSIC SET US FREE OR OTHERWISE?...........................................................……………………………………………49 CHAPTER FOUR THE PAST SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME: THE POLITICAL ECONOMY OF THE GLOBAL MUSIC INDUSTRY......................................………………………………………. 68 CHAPTER FIVE CASE STUDY: RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE…………………………………………...90 CHAPTER SIX CASE STUDY: M.I.A………………………………………………………………………….131 CHAPTER SEVEN CONCLUSIONS……………………………………………………………………………….177 WORKS CITED………………………………………………………………………………219 v ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS To my parents, Anne Roberts and John Tewksbury, for their love and support, over and over again. To my brother, Drew Tewksbury, thank you, more than you could possibly know. To my friends and loved ones, academic and otherwise, how can I even begin to list you all? I’ll thank you privately, but know this: You are the ones that have made my life so enjoyable and these times as routinely interesting and amazing as they could be. I’ll miss you all - thank you, thank you, thank you. To my advisor, Michael Elavsky, for his guidance and incredible patience in this project, and to the many others at Penn State who have contributed to its various stages, Matt Jordan, John Christman, Nancy Love, Ron Bettig, Jeanne Hall, and Jeremy Packer. Great thanks are also due to Nina Huntemann. To John Nichols and the College of Communications at Penn State, who have given me every opportunity I asked for (and some I didn’t) but more than anything, for treating me so well as a graduate student. Betsy Hall deserves a special thank you for keeping the world going round. This dissertation is dedicated to the memory my grandfather, Herndon Albert Oliver, Jr., whom I like to think would have been particularly proud, and to great teachers everywhere. vi CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION: THE SPEED OF SOUND This dissertation is one that tells a story of disruption, a cleaving from the past of not just political music but the very politics of music making. The traditional modes of musical production and distribution are surely still dominant – these structures are too firmly embedded in political and economic institutions to simply disappear – but the treatment of popular music media as secondary to societal events, as a soundtrack to other, more important happenings, is changing under a new rumbling of discontent. Yet present times are seeing a massive restructuring of the global flows of information. There is a new exercise of power that is beginning to take shape, a generalized destabilization of long-embedded structures, and even to the casual observer of the material conditions of these relationships of cultural and political resistance, it becomes quickly apparent that for a variety of reasons, the current negotiations of power are unlike any that we have seen in the past. Political action is shifting increasingly to new sites of power through new mediations of everyday life. Among the central ways that this process occurs is through popular music forms. It clear that music has power as a cultural form able to drive political change, and while there are many vantage points to approach its various media, studying the political uses of popular music necessarily requires an examination of a broad swath of perspectives. Music is moving in multiple senses, certainly important for media scholars in the sense that it travels over space and time, but perhaps more so for critical cultural researchers is the way in which it constitutes both political culture and political change. This – the examination of the various approaches toward the global production and distribution of media content and the political potentials contained 1 therein – is the goal of media studies. It is up to the critical scholar to use this examination as a liberatory exercise. Taken seriously, the field’s inquiries are driven by one overarching question: What can music do? But why popular music? After all, “popular” has a wide variety of meanings, not all of which are entirely flattering1. And some less so than others: In 1971, self-proclaimed ‘Dean of American Rock Critics’ and former Village Voice rock critic Robert Christgau, arguing with a “Marcuse translator just out of grad school,” was censured on this very subject: “You’re really very intelligent. Why do you waste your time on rock?” (Christgau, 1998, p. 1). Indeed, the cultural history of popular music historically has been written as a genre of critique in the popular press, often relegated to the marginal back pages of the arts section or dismissed as a preaching-to-the-choir medium of list-making fanboys debating the nuances between screamcore and deathcore, as if it made the least bit of difference. Or at best bemoaning the “egghead academics and journalists who think too much for their own good” (Middleton, 2001, p. 213). Literary circles treated popular music analysis even worse. Perhaps high literature’s focus on the canon (or at least the canonical form) left the mainstream tendencies of popular 1 Indeed, this word – ‘popular’ - is so problematic yet central to the study of culture that Raymond Williams’ landmark Keywords (1983b) devotes two full pages to the various meanings of the term. Some critics of mass culture may laugh on how history repeats itself: Early uses of the word were pejorative, meaning ‘base,’ ‘vulgar,’ or ‘of the common people’ before its nineteenth century meaning of first ‘widespread’ and later as a positive celebration of mass appeal. Kassabian (1999) writes that this shift was important because

    PERFORMED IDENTITIES: HEAVY METAL MUSICIANS BETWEEN 1984 AND 1991 Bradley C. Klypchak A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2007 Committee: Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Dr. John Makay Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Ron E. Shields Dr. Don McQuarie © 2007 Bradley C. Klypchak All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Between 1984 and 1991, heavy metal became one of the most publicly popular and commercially successful rock music subgenres. The focus of this dissertation is to explore the following research questions: How did the subculture of heavy metal music between 1984 and 1991 evolve and what meanings can be derived from this ongoing process? How did the contextual circumstances surrounding heavy metal music during this period impact the performative choices exhibited by artists, and from a position of retrospection, what lasting significance does this particular era of heavy metal merit today? A textual analysis of metal- related materials fostered the development of themes relating to the selective choices made and performances enacted by metal artists. These themes were then considered in terms of gender, sexuality, race, and age constructions as well as the ongoing negotiations of the metal artist within multiple performative realms. Occurring at the juncture of art and commerce, heavy metal music is a purposeful construction. Metal musicians made performative choices for serving particular aims, be it fame, wealth, or art. These same individuals worked within a greater system of influence. Metal bands were the contracted employees of record labels whose own corporate aims needed to be recognized.

    Earth-717: Avengers Vol 1 Chapter 10: Suicide Mission “My, my, my! To have so many of our friends together in the same place! I know that it is under quite distressing circumstances, but still, it's wonderful to have such a congregation!” Steve, Tasha, Thor, Bruce, Carol, Reed, Susan, Johnny, Ben and Herbie were all in one of the hangars on board the Valiant. The Rogue One had been moved from the Senatorium to the Valiant earlier that day, and Tasha had finished installing her new upgrade to the ship. Hundreds of other Nova pilots and officers were moving around the hangar, preparing for the battle ahead. Herbie bounced up and down as he looked around at the group. “To see the Fantastic Four ready to go into battle alongside such brave and noble heroes like yourselves! It is truly remarkable, is it not, Doctor Richards?” “It sure is,” said Reed. “You've got quite a team.” “Put it together at the last minute,” said Tasha. “Since somebody decided that they wanted an interstellar vacation at the worst possible time.” “Hey!” said Johnny. “Wasn't my fault! Blame these guys! I just went along for the ride!” Ben gave Johnny a light smack on the back of the head. “Nobody asked you, junior.” Johnny grumbled as he tried to fix his hair. Reed laughed before looking back Steve. “Don't suppose you'd like to tell me how I'm standing across from Captain America?” “I guess that a man of science like yourself would be interested in that sort of thing,” said Steve.

  • Rhythm, Dance, and Resistance in the New Orleans Second Line
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles “We Made It Through That Water”: Rhythm, Dance, and Resistance in the New Orleans Second Line A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnomusicology by Benjamin Grant Doleac 2018 © Copyright by Benjamin Grant Doleac 2018 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION “We Made It Through That Water”: Rhythm, Dance, and Resistance in the New Orleans Second Line by Benjamin Grant Doleac Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnomusicology University of California, Los Angeles, 2018 Professor Cheryl L. Keyes, Chair The black brass band parade known as the second line has been a staple of New Orleans culture for nearly 150 years. Through more than a century of social, political and demographic upheaval, the second line has persisted as an institution in the city’s black community, with its swinging march beats and emphasis on collective improvisation eventually giving rise to jazz, funk, and a multitude of other popular genres both locally and around the world. More than any other local custom, the second line served as a crucible in which the participatory, syncretic character of black music in New Orleans took shape. While the beat of the second line reverberates far beyond the city limits today, the neighborhoods that provide the parade’s sustenance face grave challenges to their existence. Ten years after Hurricane Katrina tore up the economic and cultural fabric of New Orleans, these largely poor communities are plagued on one side by underfunded schools and internecine violence, and on the other by the rising tide of post-disaster gentrification and the redlining-in- disguise of neoliberal urban policy.

  • Borderlands E-Journal
    borderlands e-journal www.borderlands.net.au VOLUME 11 NUMBER 1, 2012 Missing In Action By all media necessary Suvendrini Perera School of Media, Culture & Creative Arts, Curtin University This essay weaves itself around the figure of the hip-hop artist M.I.A. Its driving questions are about the impossible choices and willed identifications of a dirty war and the forms of media, cultural politics and creativity they engender; their inescapable traces and unaccountable hauntings and returns in diasporic lives. In particular, the essay focuses on M.I.A.’s practice of an embodied poetics that expresses the contradictory affective and political investments, shifting positionalities and conflicting solidarities of diaspora lives enmeshed in war. In 2009, as the military war in Sri Lanka was nearing its grim conclusion, with what we now know was the cold-blooded killing of thousands of Tamil civilians inside an official no-fire zone, entrapped between two forms of deadly violence, a report in the New York Times described Mathangi ‘Maya’ Arulpragasam as the ‘most famous member of the Tamil diaspora’ (Mackey 2009). Mathangi Arulpragasam had become familiar to millions across the globe in her persona as the hip-hop performer M.I.A., for Missing in Action. In the last weeks of the war, she made a number of public appeals on behalf of those trapped by the fighting, including a last-minute tweet to Oprah Winfrey to save the Tamils. Her appeal, which went unheeded, was ill- judged and inspired in equal parts. It suggests the uncertain, precarious terrain that M.I.A.

  • The DIY Careers of Techno and Drum 'N' Bass Djs in Vienna
    Cross-Dressing to Backbeats: The Status of the Electroclash Producer and the Politics of Electronic Music Feature Article David Madden Concordia University (Canada) Abstract Addressing the international emergence of electroclash at the turn of the millenium, this article investigates the distinct character of the genre and its related production practices, both in and out of the studio. Electroclash combines the extended pulsing sections of techno, house and other dance musics with the trashier energy of rock and new wave. The genre signals an attempt to reinvigorate dance music with a sense of sexuality, personality and irony. Electroclash also emphasizes, rather than hides, the European, trashy elements of electronic dance music. The coming together of rock and electro is examined vis-à-vis the ongoing changing sociality of music production/ distribution and the changing role of the producer. Numerous women, whether as solo producers, or in the context of collaborative groups, significantly contributed to shaping the aesthetics and production practices of electroclash, an anomaly in the history of popular music and electronic music, where the role of the producer has typically been associated with men. These changes are discussed in relation to the way electroclash producers Peaches, Le Tigre, Chicks on Speed, and Miss Kittin and the Hacker often used a hybrid approach to production that involves the integration of new(er) technologies, such as laptops containing various audio production softwares with older, inexpensive keyboards, microphones, samplers and drum machines to achieve the ironic backbeat laden hybrid electro-rock sound.
