The majority of these studies have focused on the interaction between a local language and a non-local language. In this project, I propose an analysis of the mixture of two world languages (Spanish and English), which can be categorised as both local and non-local. I do this through the analysis of the enormously successful reggaeton genre, which is characterised by its use of Spanglish. I used two data types to inform my research: a corpus of code-switching instances in top 20 reggaeton songs, and a questionnaire on attitudes towards Spanglish in general and in music. I collected 200 answers to the questionnaire – half from American English-speakers, and the other half from Spanish-speaking Hispanics of various nationalities.

  • Social Media to the Mainstream
    1 SoundCloud Rap Narratives as Pop Star Narratives: From Social Media to the Mainstream Popular music meanings are dependent on the artist understood as a “total star text” (Dyer 1979). There has been much discussion in academia of how digital technology transforms formerly auteurist narratives of popular music creation into stories about collective authorship (Ahonen 2008, 107). Yet central fictions continue to involve the singular figure of the popular music star. Like new technologies before it, social media change how pop music stardom narratives are constructed. Narrative arcs (stories) and narrative forms (how those stories are told) have transformed alongside changes to the communication structures between artist and audience, and shifts in the authenticating mechanisms applied to pop stars. The transition of so-called SoundCloud rappers to the center of the American pop music landscape over the last five years epitomizes these changes. This study looks at how the narratives of SoundCloud rappers are constructed in the exchange between social media and traditional media publications; it assumes artist narratives to be constructed in this dialogic space. Social media events are articulated onto traditional structures of legitimation, and mainstream media canonize social media narratives. The results of this study indicate how artist narratives regularly unfold online, and how those patterns feed into the more familiar dramatic story arcs. Between January 2015 and June 2019, approximately 5–6% of unique artists that appeared on the Billboard Hot 100 could be categorized as “SoundCloud rappers.” This research focuses on a subset of these, artists who entered mainstream consciousness between 2016 and 2018, and can be broadly thought of as the second generation of SoundCloud rappers to make the transition to the mainstream.

  • Using Global Objectives to Control Behaviors in Crowds
    USING GLOBAL OBJECTIVES TO CONTROL BEHAVIORS IN CROWDS A Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Domin Lee, B.S. ***** The Ohio State University 2008 Master’s Examination Committee: Approved by Dr. Rick Parent, Adviser Dr. Matthew Lewis Adviser Graduate Program in Computer Science and Engineering c Copyright by Domin Lee 2008 ABSTRACT The agent-based and behavioral modeling techniques are effective in many situa- tions; however, with an increase in demand for more complex and realistic behaviors, the problems of scale can quickly become an issue. By adding another set of rules that incorporate the desired behaviors, the rule-based methods can become difficult to manage. This thesis attempts to develop an organizational tool that avoids rule pro- liferation and problems with scale in rule-based systems. Using global objectives to weigh local rules, we look to model a system where behavioral decisions are made, not just at the individual levels, but also at the global levels in the crowds. Consequently, this thesis presents a solution for one requirement of team-oriented crowd behaviors in animation and games: the ability to adaptively generate human-like altruistic be- haviors. The team-oriented crowds refers to a type of crowds where each individual has a membership to a team. And those individuals interact directly and simultane- ously to achieve a global objective. Some of the team-oriented crowds include team sports: football, handball, hockey, basketball, and baseball. ”Altruistic behaviors” are the behaviors where behavioral decisions are made for the global objectives of the crowds.
