Today, after nearly 20 years, the wars are over, in most areas peace has set in, and stability has been achieved. And yet, in our interview with Blerim Reka, he echoes Clinton’s words saying: “It is the duty of our generation to tell our grandchildren the successful story of the Balkans, different from the bloody Balkans one which we were told about.” This and many more observations made by the authors of this issue of New Eastern Europe piece together a complex picture of a region marred by a painful past and facing a hopeful, yet fragile future.

  • Masculinity in Emo Music a Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Arts and Social Science in Candi
    CARLETON UNIVERSITY FLUID BODIES: MASCULINITY IN EMO MUSIC A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF ARTS AND SOCIAL SCIENCE IN CANDIDACY FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC BY RYAN MACK OTTAWA, ONTARIO MAY 2014 ABSTRACT Emo is a genre of music that typically involves male performers, which evolved out of the punk and hardcore movements in Washington DC during the mid-80s. Scholarly literature on emo has explored its cultural and social contexts in relation to the “crisis” of masculinity—the challenging of the legitimacy of patriarchy through “alternative” forms of masculinity. This thesis builds upon this pioneering work but departs from its perpetuation of strict masculine binaries by conflating hegemonic and subordinate/alternative masculinities into a single subject position, which I call synergistic masculinity. In doing so, I use emo to explicate this vis-à-vis an intertextual analysis that explores the dominant themes in 1) lyrics; 2) the sites of vocal production (head, throat, chest) in conjunction with pitch and timbre; 3) the extensional and intensional intervallic relationships between notes and chords, and the use of dynamics in the musical syntax; 4) the use of public and private spaces, as well as the performative masculine body in music video. I posit that masculine emo performers dissolve these hierarchically organized masculinities, which allows for a deeper musical meaning and the extramusical signification of masculinity. Keywords: emo, synergistic masculinity, performativity, music video, masculinities, lyrics, vocal production, musical syntax, dynamics. ABSTRAIT Emo est un genre musical qui implique typiquement des musiciens de sexe masculine et qui est issu de movement punk et hardcore originaire de Washington DC durant les années 80.

Sherak and Lawrence, who was nominated for an Academy Award® for her lead performance in “Winter’s Bone,” announced the nominees in 10 of the 24 Award categories at a 5:38 a.m. PT live news conference attended by more than 400 international media representatives. Lists of nominations in all categories were then distributed to the media in attendance and online via the official Academy Awards website, www.oscar.com. Academy members from each of the branches vote to determine the nominees in their respective categories – actors nominate actors, film editors nominate film editors, etc. In the Animated Feature Film and Foreign Language Film categories, nominations are selected by vote of multi-branch screening committees. All voting members are eligible to select the Best Picture nominees. Nominations ballots were mailed to the 5,783 voting members in late December and were returned directly to PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), the international accounting firm, for tabulation. Official screenings of all motion pictures with one or more nominations will begin for members this weekend at the Academy's Samuel Goldwyn Theater. Screenings also will be held at the Academy's Linwood Dunn Theater in Hollywood and in London, New York and the San Francisco Bay Area. All active and life members of the Academy are eligible to select the winners in all categories, although in five of them – Animated Short Film, Live Action Short Film, Documentary Feature, Documentary Short Subject and Foreign Language Film – members can vote only if they have seen all of the nominated films in those categories.

    BUSH UK-Rockstars Bush kehren zurück auf die Bühnen! 8. Album ›The Mind Plays Tricks on You‹ erscheint im Frühjahr Im Juni drei Deutschland-Shows in Hamburg, Berlin & Münster Die großartigen britischen Rocker Bush kommen 2020 mit einem neuen Album, sowie einer ganzen Reihe von Live-Shows, zurück auf Tour. Die Band mit dem charismatischen Frontmann Gavin Rossdale kündigte unlängst an, dass ihr achtes Album ›The Mind Plays Tricks on You‹ im März oder April diesen Jahres veröffentlicht wird. Im Zuge der Veröffentlichung werden Bush weltweit einige Shows spielen, dadrunter auch u.a. am 5. Juni 2020 in der Grossen Freiheit 36 in Hamburg. Seit ihrer Gründung im Jahr 1991 gelten Bush als eine Rockband, die auf eine kuriose Weise stets antizyklisch zu den jeweils aktuellen musikalischen Strömungen in Großbritannien agierten. Nur so lässt sich auch erklären, dass sie außerhalb ihrer Heimat und allen voran in den USA immer erfolgreicher waren. Diese Besonderheit begann bereits mit der Veröffentlichung ihres Debüts ›Sixteen Stone‹ im Jahr 1994. Während das Album in England gerade einmal bis auf Platz 42 stieg, knackte es in den USA direkt die Top Ten und wurde dort bis heute mit sechsfach Platin ausgezeichnet. Auch in Australien, Neuseeland und Kanada erhielt die Platte vielfach Platin und konnte sich teils monatelang in den Top Ten halten mit fünf ausgekoppelten Hit-Singles wie ›Everything Zen‹, ›Comedown‹ und ›Glycerine‹. Mit ihrem zweiten, 1996 veröffentlichten Album ›Razorblade Suitcase‹, gelang Bush endgültig der Schritt in die Oberliga der globalen Rockmusik. Die Strategie der Band bestand darin unter Zuhilfenahme eines renommierten, für jeweils einen sehr eigenen Sound bekannten Produzenten ein Unikum darzustellen, welches mit keinem anderen ihrer Alben vergleichbar schien.

Rhymes and Linkin Park recently collaborated on “We Made It,” the first single and video from Rhymes’ upcoming album, Blessed. By touring together, Linkin Park & Busta are taking a cue from the chorus of their song: “…we took it on the road…”. As recently pointed out in Rolling Stone’s “Summer Tour Guide,” the tour will see nine acts joining rock superstars Linkin Park, who are also offering concertgoers a digital souvenir pack that includes a recording of the band’s entire set. As the band’s co-lead vocalist Mike Shinoda told the magazine, “That puts extra pressure on us to make sure our set is different every night.” The fifth installation of Linkin Park’s raging road show will see them headlining an all-star bill that features former Soundgarden/Audioslave frontman Chris Cornell, electro-rockers The Bravery and Ashes Divide featuring Billy Howerdel, known for his work with A Perfect Circle.
