Female artists, social media and alternative economy: the case of Amanda Palmer Beatriz Medeiros165 and Beatriz Polivanov166 Abstract In this paper we seek to investigate the strategies that the independent artist Amanda Palmer uses in order to gain visibility and financial capital to promote her music. Our theoretical background is mainly related to the process of self- presentation in social media, along with Bourdieu’s (2013) notion of symbolic capital. Based on the analysis of posts made by the artist on social network sites, such as Twitter and Instagram, apart from her blog and book / memoir (Palmer, 2014), we argue that her approaches for getting the audience engaged with her pledges can be gathered in three axes: a) public exposure of intimacy; b) negotiations of asking and c) advertising her crowdfunding projects.
  • Is Crowdfunding the Future of Art?

    Is Crowdfunding the Future of Art?

    BADARTWORLD.NET- JANUARY 23, 2018 Is crowdfunding the future of art? image by Patrick Carr By George Martin Fell Brown Do you remember Dragon’s Lair, the 1980s sword and sorcery arcade game featuring amazing, hand-drawn animation by none other than legendary animator Don Bluth? Well, guess what. Don Bluth is back and he wants to make a Dragon’s Lair movie. Just donate to his Kickstarter campaign to help get the movie off the ground. If that doesn’t appeal to you, how about Super Troopers? Remember that 2002 comedy? Well, guess what? There’s an IndieGoGo campaign to make Super Troopers 2. If that doesn’t appeal to you, then how do you feel about the hip-hop stylings of B.o.B? Well if you hop over to GoFundMe, you can help B.o.B raise the funds necessary build his own satellite so he can prove, once and for all, that the Earth is flat. He’s already 0.6% of the way towards reaching his goal! Digital crowdfunding websites date back at least as far as 2003, when ArtistShare was founded. And the term “crowdfunding” dates back to 2006. But in the past few years crowdfunding has become a staple in the arts and entertainment. These campaigns aren’t confined to the arts. But within the artistic sphere it’s seen as a new way to bypass the restrictions that come with working through the major music labels, Hollywood studios, and the like. By this point, however, crowdfunding is itself big business. And we should always be wary when big tech companies promise new technical solutions to the problems of capitalism.

    The Politics of Loving Blackness in the UK By Lisa Amanda Palmer A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham For the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of American and Canadian Studies The University of Birmingham March 2010 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Abstract Can ‘loving blackness’ become a new discourse for anti-racism in the UK and the broader black diaspora? This thesis will critically assess the concept of ‘loving blackness as political resistance’ as outlined by the African American feminist bell hooks (1992). The thesis will show the ways in which blackness has been both negated and denigrated in western cultures and thus constructed in opposition to notions of love and humanness. Conversely, love and blackness are also rehabilitated in different ways by Black diasporic populations in Britain through the transnational space. The transnational space can provide opportunities for constructing, networks of care, love and anti racist strategies that affirm the value of blackness and Black life. However, the transnational space can also be fraught with risks, dangers and exclusions providing Black and migrant populations with uneven forms of citizenship and belonging to western neo-liberal states.
