2. Case Study: Anime Music Videos
2. CASE STUDY: ANIME MUSIC VIDEOS Dana Milstein When on 1 August 1981 at 12:01 a.m. the Buggles’ ‘Video Killed the Radio Star’ aired as MTV’s first music video, its lyrics parodied the very media pre- senting it: ‘We can’t rewind, we’ve gone too far, . put the blame on VTR.’ Influenced by J. G. Ballard’s 1960 short story ‘The Sound Sweep’, Trevor Horn’s song voiced anxiety over the dystopian, artificial world developing as a result of modern technology. Ballard’s story described a world in which natu- rally audible sound, particularly song, is considered to be noise pollution; a sound sweep removes this acoustic noise on a daily basis while radios broad- cast a silent, rescored version of music using a richer, ultrasonic orchestra that subconsciously produces positive feelings in its listeners. Ballard was particu- larly criticising technology’s attempt to manipulate the human voice, by con- tending that the voice as a natural musical instrument can only be generated by ‘non-mechanical means which the neruophonic engineer could never hope, or bother, to duplicate’ (Ballard 2006: 150). Similarly, Horn professed anxiety over a world in which VTRs (video tape recorders) replace real-time radio music with simulacra of those performances. VTRs allowed networks to replay shows, to cater to different time zones, and to rerecord over material. Indeed, the first VTR broadcast occurred on 25 October 1956, when a recording of guest singer Dorothy Collins made the previous night was broadcast ‘live’ on the Jonathan Winters Show. The business of keeping audiences hooked 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, promoted the concept of quantity over quality: yes- terday’s information was irrelevant and could be permanently erased after serving its money-making purpose.

Violent Crime, Moral Transformation, and Urban Redevelopment in Post-Katrina New Orleans
THE BLESSED PLACEMAKERS: VIOLENT CRIME, MORAL TRANSFORMATION, AND URBAN REDEVELOPMENT IN POST-KATRINA NEW ORLEANS by Rebecca L. Carter A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Anthropology) in The University of Michigan 2010 Doctoral Committee: Professor Gillian Feeley-Harnik, Chair Professor Thomas E. Fricke Associate Professor Stuart A. Kirsch Associate Professor Paul Christopher Johnson © Rebecca L. Carter All rights reserved 2010 DEDICATION For Evan ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS There aren‟t enough words to fully express my gratitude for the guidance, encouragement, and generous support I have received during the completion of this dissertation and my doctoral degree. It has been a long but extremely rewarding process; an endeavor that has unfolded over the span of the last six years. Of that time, three years were spent completing coursework and training at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor; two years (July 2007 – July 2009) were spent doing ethnographic fieldwork in New Orleans, Louisiana; and the final year was spent writing up in my home state of Tennessee, as part of a dissertation writing and teaching fellowship based at Middle Tennessee State University. To be afforded the time and the occasion to work as an anthropologist and ethnographer at all is something of a luxury; I frequently remind myself what a dream job and a privilege it is. There are many people that I must thank for the opportunity, and for their help in seeing the research through until the end. So many, that in many ways the finished product is perhaps best situated as a collective and collaborative project rather than a solo venture.
