  • Download Rock Over the Edge: Transformations in Popular Music
    Rock Over the Edge: Transformations in Popular Music Culture, Roger Beebe, Denise Fulbrook, Ben Saunders, Duke University Press, 2002, 0822383373, 9780822383376, 392 pages. DIVThis collection brings new voices and new perspectives to the study of popularвЂ―and particularly rockвЂ―music. Focusing on a variety of artists and music forms, Rock Over the Edge asks what happens to rock criticism when rock is no longer a coherent concept. To work toward an answer, contributors investigate previously neglected genres and styles, such as “lo fi,” alternative country, and “rock en espaГ±ol,” while offering a fresh look at such familiar figures as Elvis Presley, the Beatles, and Kurt Cobain.Bridging the disciplines of musicology and cultural studies, the collection has two primary goals: to seek out a language for talking about music culture and to look at the relationship of music to culture in general. The editors’ introduction provides a backward glance at recent rock criticism and also looks to the future of the rapidly expanding discipline of popular music studies. Taking seriously the implications of critical theory for the study of non-literary aesthetic endeavors, the volume also addresses such issues as the affective power of popular music and the psychic construction of fandom.Rock Over the Edge will appeal to scholars and students in popular music studies and American Studies as well as general readers interested in popular music.Contributors. Ian Balfour, Roger Beebe, Michael Coyle, Robert Fink, Denise Fulbrook, Tony Grajeda, Lawrence Grossberg, Trent Hill, Josh Kun, Jason Middleton, Lisa Ann Parks, Ben Saunders, John J.

    MEDIA RELEASE Strictly embargoed until 12.01am on Tuesday 22 November 2016 Culture Club announced alongside Jessica Mauboy, Dami Im and Paul Kelly for 6th AACTA Awards presented by Foxtel In the lead up to Australia’s biggest film and television Awards, the Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts (AACTA) has announced that iconic UK pop group Culture Club will be performing at the 6th AACTA Awards presented by Foxtel, alongside Australian artists Paul Kelly, Jessica Mauboy and Dami Im like you’ve never seen her before. Culture Club’s performance at the Awards Ceremony will be their only televised performance and will feature the original band line up: singer Boy George, guitarist and keyboardist Roy Hay, bassist Mikey Craig and drummer Jon Moss. Culture Club are returning to Australia for an Encore Tour in mid- December, which will see them perform in some capital cities and several winery shows. Australia’s love affair with Culture Club continues and their June tour saw them sell out shows and perform to rave reviews. Boy George said he was “Thrilled to be coming back to Australia and to be performing at Australia’s biggest celebration of film and television.” The Grammy Award winning group will bring their own unique style and performance to the AACTA Awards. Selling more than 150 million records worldwide, with multiple worldwide number one singles including Do You Really Want to Hurt Me and the BRIT Award-winning Karma Chameleon, Culture Club are one of the true icons of the world music scene. ARIA Award winning actress and Sony Music recording artist Jessica Mauboy will return to perform at the AACTAs four years since her show-stopping performance at the 2nd AACTA Awards, where she also won the AACTA Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in THE SAPPHIRES.

  • Korea Wave Foundation
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by SOAS Research Online The Foundations Of Hallyu – K-Pop’s Coming Of Age Keith Howard We are, collectively, still struggling to come to terms with Hallyu, Korean Wave. This is seen in the multitude of contrasting perspectives that have been applied by journalists and academics alike since the turn of the new millennium. There is a lack of consensus, and perspectives run from fear and criticism by what Cho Hae-joang calls the postcolonial camp, through pride and celebration in what is happening (Cho’s nationalist camp), to economic planning (the neoliberal camp; Cho Hae-joang 2005).1 The three camps seem to trend chronologically in the order given here,2 but are no longer sufficient now that Korean Wave has spread to the world beyond Asia. Indeed, recent foreign commentaries about the economy of Korean Wave have diverged, often markedly, from Korean accounts of its global popularity. New models are needed, one of which, Ingyu Oh and Gil-Sung Park’s supply chain model (2012), seems to have considerable utility.3 Their theory throws out existing, albeit dated, accounts of the music industry, and demonstrates how the internationalization of Korean Wave moves the industry from a fan-oriented service business (B2C) to business servicing (B2B). Our accounts do, though, agree on key moments in Korean Wave: 1999, when the term, hallyu, began to be used; 2003 when “Winter Sonata” reached Japan; 2008 or shortly after when Korean pop again moved into a global frame; and 2012 as the date when Psy conquered YouTube.

We extend methods for classical channels to quantum chan- nels to demonstrate that a strongly secure code guarantees a semantically secure code with the same secrecy rate. Furthermore, we show how to 1 transform a non-secure code into a semantically secure code by means of biregular irreducible functions (BRI functions). We analyze semantic security for classical quantum channels and for quantum channels.
