  • The DIY Careers of Techno and Drum 'N' Bass Djs in Vienna
    Cross-Dressing to Backbeats: The Status of the Electroclash Producer and the Politics of Electronic Music Feature Article David Madden Concordia University (Canada) Abstract Addressing the international emergence of electroclash at the turn of the millenium, this article investigates the distinct character of the genre and its related production practices, both in and out of the studio. Electroclash combines the extended pulsing sections of techno, house and other dance musics with the trashier energy of rock and new wave. The genre signals an attempt to reinvigorate dance music with a sense of sexuality, personality and irony. Electroclash also emphasizes, rather than hides, the European, trashy elements of electronic dance music. The coming together of rock and electro is examined vis-à-vis the ongoing changing sociality of music production/ distribution and the changing role of the producer. Numerous women, whether as solo producers, or in the context of collaborative groups, significantly contributed to shaping the aesthetics and production practices of electroclash, an anomaly in the history of popular music and electronic music, where the role of the producer has typically been associated with men. These changes are discussed in relation to the way electroclash producers Peaches, Le Tigre, Chicks on Speed, and Miss Kittin and the Hacker often used a hybrid approach to production that involves the integration of new(er) technologies, such as laptops containing various audio production softwares with older, inexpensive keyboards, microphones, samplers and drum machines to achieve the ironic backbeat laden hybrid electro-rock sound.

EMlstma Honner ii The Teaches of Peaches: Rethinking the Sex Hierarchy and the Limits of Gender Discourse Christina Bonner Master of Arts, Program in Communication and Culture Ryerson and York University 2010 Abstract: The goal of this Major Research paper is an exploration detailing how Canadian Electro-Pop artist Peaches Nisker transcends nonnative gender and sex politics through perfonnance and frames the female erotic experience in a way that not only disempowers heterosexuality but also provides a broader more inclusive sexual politics. Through this analysis I focus specifically on three distinct spheres; perfonnance, fandom and use of technology to argue that her critique of sexual conventions provides an cxpansive and transgressive new defmition of female sexuality. Musical perfonnances by female artists, particularly icons such as Madonna and Britney Spears, have demonstrated popular culture's inability to legitimize quecr and non­ compulsory heterosexual practices.

  • 'The Pleasure Is All Mine:' Music and Female Sexual Autonomy on Her
    ‘The Pleasure Is All Mine:’ Music and Female Sexual Autonomy On her recently released CD Medúlla the singer Björk has a song entitled “The Pleasure is all mine” stressing both pleasure in itself, the pleasures of women in particular, and above all the pleasure of doing something for others. Pleasure, to Björk, is something you yourself enjoy but it is always related to an other. With this ambivalent emphasis on self and other Björk – unwittingly – places herself in the middle of a debate of current feminist philosophy, namely that of relational autonomy. Against the critique of postmodern writers who see the subject as discursive citation, decentered, multiple or even as dead, feminist philosophers such as Catriona Mackenzie, Natalie Stoljar but also Paul Benson and Marilyn Friedman claim the existence of a subject position allowing autonomy.1 However, this feminist notion of autonomy is different from the classical tradition. Feminists have often criticized this classical notion for its mere focus on the individual and on reason and therefore defamed it as a traditionally ‘male’ model. The philosophy of relational autonomy, in contrast, is informed both by some arguments of poststructuralism and by care ethics.2 In opposition to most feminists, these feminist philosophers argue for the importance of autonomy in order to understand oppression and agency. But they modify the individualistically shaped notion by intentionally stressing a multilevel perspective on persons as emotional, embodied, desiring, creative, and feeling, as well as rational creatures. It is their common belief that persons are socially embedded and that agent’s identities are formed within the context of social relations and shaped by a complex of intersecting social determinants, such as race, class, gender, and ethnicity.

  • The Women in Manuel Solano's Wall-Sized Acrylic-On-Canvas
    Installation view of “Manuel Solano: Oronda” at Open Forum, Berlin, 2018. COURTESY OPEN FORUM The women in Manuel Solano’s wall-sized acrylic-on-canvas portraits are intimidating. Statement hair in bobs or beards, paired with ultra-bright make-up and mega-accessories, pop from the canvas to broadcast the big personalities of celebrities and Solano’s own family members. But the portraits’ potency comes in part because they are painted entirely from memory. Solano, who is non-binary and prefers plural pronouns, lost their sight in 2013 from an HIV-related infection. Since gradually going blind, they have developed a technique for painting on canvas with acrylics, using tactile markers for their hands, which results in amplified features and fashion. Because Solano draws on mem- ories, the pop stars and formidable female figures they select for commemoration are an autobiographical pantheon of the paint- er’s formative influences. Born in 1987 and based in Mexico City, Solano uses a high-in- tensity palette of acrylic paint, and their work suggests an edgier, sexier version of Alex Katz’s portraits. Following their appearance in the 2018 New Museum Triennial in New York, they have had back-to-back shows in Berlin this summer and fall, and though their art has a distinctly retro-’80s New York energy, the particu- lar pitch of its creativity and urbanity feels distinctly fresh, gritty, and grown-up. For their solo show at Berlin’s Open Forum this summer, which featured five majestic portraits of women, the artist picked the title “Oronda.” This obscure Spanish word translates as a mix of arrogance and serenity that can become integrity.

  • A Recipe for Choreographic Success
    AROUND TOWN FRIDAY, APRIL 23, 2010 [ DANCE ] A recipe for choreographic success Assembly Dance Theatre describes the creator of its newest performance as a chef, with each dancer’s unique skill an ingredient and props as spices BY DiaNE BAKer STAFF REPORTER Assembly Dance Theatre’s (組合語言舞團) latest production, Premiere (首映會), opens at the Experimental Theater in Taipei tonight, although its actual premiere was last Friday at the Sinjhuang City Cultural Center. Since is founding in 1993, Yang Kuei-chuan’s (楊桂娟) Assembly Dance Theatre has developed a reputation for quirky pieces that combine a minimalist Eastern aesthetic with contemporary modern dance, thanks to her training at the University of California, Los Angeles. Yang did the bulk of the choreography for the troupe early on, but in recent years the company’s productions have been more collaborative, as Yang sought out young Taiwanese and other choreographers to create pieces for the troupe. As a professor in the dance department at National Taiwan University of Arts in Banciao, Yang is well placed to talent spot, for both dancers and choreographers. One choreographer who has worked several times with the company is Lai Tsui-shuang (賴翠霜). The Chinese Culture University graduate went on to study dance, music and theater at the Folkwang Academy in Essen, Germany, and joined the Folkwang Dance Studio in 1998. Lai has won several awards for PHOTO COURTESY OF ANGEL CEBALLOS choreography, including the 2009 Taishin Arts Award for Capital Ballet’s production of Surround. Lai has developed a reputation for fluid and dynamic choreography combined with the imaginative use of multimedia and props, which makes for both very interesting staging and very accessible pieces.

One disserta- tion on Philip K. Dick had already appeared as a book (by Kim Stanley Robinson) and Dick, though I loved his work, just wasn’t that well known or respected (not then). Plus, I was liv- ing in a mud hut and teaching people to use oxen for plowing: how would I ever be able to do the work that would be needed to turn my study from dissertation to book?

  • 1 GENUINE THOUGHT IS INTER(MEDIAL) Julia Meier To
    1 GENUINE THOUGHT IS INTER(MEDIAL) Julia Meier To think is to create Antonin Artaud Introduction This article deals with the question of intermediality as the space 'in-between' different media. Taking into account the 'theories of difference' of French philosophers Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, I argue that the virtual 'space in-between' has the potential of creating genuine thought as an event within the concentrated form of intermedial artwork. Hence, the creative act, with its capability of producing a "new language" (Barthes 155), becomes necessary for the emergence of meaning as a signifying potential. My analysis revolves around the works of the three musicians Diamanda Galás, Peaches and Janine Rostron, a.k.a. Planningtorock. I choose their work as examples of contemporary intermedial production that aims at the creation of a "new language". What the three musicians have in common is their mixture of different music genres, their extraordinary physical presence on stage, and their ability of allowing these two realms—body image and sound—to interact in a 2 new way: Their bodies constitute a part of an 'intermedial sound-sculpture' enabling these performers to present their compositions in an immediate or visceral manner. "That which hits right into the nervous system without the detour of the brain" is one of the most important statements made by British painter Francis Bacon (Sylvester 18).1 Basing his concepts on this notion, Gilles Deleuze developed his "logic of sensation" (see Francis Bacon). Not to represent but to present is what has the capacity of genuine creation which unfolds in a realm that can only be understood via sensation—viscerally.
