  • 'Grand Theft Archive': a Quantitative Analysis of the State of Computer
    Gooding, P. and Terras, M. (2008) "„Grand Theft Archive‟: a quantitative analysis of the current state of computer game preservation". The International Journal of Digital Curation. Issue 2, Volume 3, 2008. http://www.ijdc.net/ijdc/article/view/85/90 1 ‘Grand Theft Archive’: A Quantitative Analysis of the Current State of Computer Game Preservation Paul Gooding, Librarian, BBC Sports Library, London Melissa Terras, School of Library, Archive and Information Studies, University College London November 2008 Abstract Computer games, like other digital media, are extremely vulnerable to long-term loss, yet little work has been done to preserve them. As a result we are experiencing large-scale loss of the early years of gaming history. Computer games are an important part of modern popular culture, and yet are afforded little of the respect bestowed upon established media such as books, film, television and music. We must understand the reasons for the current lack of computer game preservation in order to devise strategies for the future. Computer game history is a difficult area to work in, because it is impossible to know what has been lost already, and early records are often incomplete. This paper uses the information that is available to analyse the current status of computer game preservation, specifically in the UK. It makes a quantitative analysis of the preservation status of computer games, and finds that games are already in a vulnerable state. It proposes that work should be done to compile accurate metadata on computer games and to analyse more closely the exact scale of data loss, while suggesting strategies to overcome the barriers that currently exist.

  • Star Shines at Shell
    May 24, 2014 Star Shines at Shell PHOTO BY YOSHI JAMES Homage to cult band’s “Third” kicks off Levitt series By Bob Mehr The Levitt Shell’s 2014 summer season opened Friday night, with a teeming crowd of roughly 4,000 who camped out under clear skies to hear the music of Memphis’ greatest cult band Big Star, in a show dedicated to its dark masterpiece, Third. Performed by an all-star troupe of local and national musicians, it was yet another reminder of how the group, critically acclaimed but commercially doomed during their initial run in the early 1970s, has developed into one of the unlikeliest success stories in rock and roll. The Third album — alternately known as Sister Lovers — was originally recorded at Midtown’s Ardent Studios in the mid-’70s, but vexed the music industry at the time, and was given a belated, minor indie-label release at the end of the decade. However, the music and myth of Third would grow exponentially in the decades to come. When it was finally issued on CD in the early ’90s, the record was hailed by Rolling Stone as an “untidy masterpiece ... beautiful and disturbing, pristine and unkempt — and vehemently original.” 1 North Carolina musician Chris Stamey had long been enamored of the record and the idea of recreating the Third album (along with full string arrangements) live on stage. He was close to realizing a version of the show with a reunited, latter- day Big Star lineup, when the band’s camp suffered a series of losses: first, with the passing of Third producer Jim Dickinson in 2009, and then the PHOTO BY YALONDA M.

Rivista di cultura musicale e guida ragionata al collezionismo", qui pubblicato, con alcune varianti, per gentile concessione dell'autore. Premessa (2008) Alla fine degli anni '90, stanco dei bootleg, Robert Fripp decise di commercializzare ufficialmente alcuni live dei King Crimson su cd, muovendo dal presupposto che, se fino a quel momento i fan avevano acquistato materiale del gruppo dal vivo di scarsa qualità, facendo guadagnare esclusivamente biechi 2 / 10 King Crimson Collectors' Club (1969-1974) Scritto da Gianluca Livi Mercoledì 30 Marzo 2016 19:23 imprenditori pirata, poteva egli stesso vendere le medesime esibizioni, ufficializzandone l'uscita sul mercato discografico e, congiuntamente, perseguendo anche un (legittimo) fine di lucro. Poiché anche parte delle registrazioni in suo possesso erano qualitativamente scadenti, conscio dell'impossibilità di immetterle nel mercato senza suscitare polemiche, decise di distribuirle solo agli iscritti di un club, il cosiddetto “Collector's Club”. Coloro che vi avessero aderito, previo versamento di una cifra iniziale abbastanza consistente, avrebbero ricevuto i titoli pubblicati di volta in volta, vedendosi scalato il valore di ogni singolo disco dalla quota d'iscrizione. L'iniziativa andò avanti con ottimi risultati fino al 2002, quando - abbandonato definitivamente il metodo dell'iscrizione al Club - i cd furono inseriti nel catalogo della DGM, unitamente ad album ufficiali dei Crimson e di altri artisti della scuderia.

  • Intersections of Passing and Drag in Popular Culture A
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Critical Crossings: Intersections of Passing and Drag in Popular Culture A dissertation in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Women’s Studies by Loran Renee Marsan 2012 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Critical Crossings: Intersections of Passing and Drag in Popular Culture by Loran Renee Marsan Doctor of Philosophy in Women’s Studies University of California, Los Angeles, 2012 Professor Juliet Williams, Co-chair Professor Douglas Kellner, Co-chair My dissertation, Critical Crossings: Intersections of Passing and Drag in Popular Culture, offers an innovative study of the political possibilities of two related performative strategies: Drag and Passing. “Drag” refers to the excessive performance of feminine gender, i.e. drag queens, but more recently has been linked to other parodic performances such as blackface. “Passing” originated in the post- and antebellum eras when mixed-race African-Americans passed as white to escape oppressions. It denotes the believable portrayal of another identity, usually racial or gendered. Both have long been topics of media representations. Probing where and how they are used differently in popular culture yields insight into the operation of identity, engaging such issues as the social construction of authenticity, performance, and the “real.” I argue cinema and television have changed how drag and passing are deployed, such that what ii passes for reality and authenticity comes into question while the purposes and functions of drag and passing are also changed. I utilize an interdisciplinary multiperspectival cultural studies approach that draws connections across fields of inquiry and theoretical paradigms. Through analysis of context, production, and reception of texts with theoretical insights from queer, feminist, critical race, film, media, and cultural studies, this project shows how these theories can align to create new knowledges about the subversive potential of drag and passing.
