  • Endelig Nytt Album Fra Marina Diamandis
    Marina - Love+Fear 04-04-2019 17:01 CEST Endelig nytt album fra Marina Diamandis Multi-platina selgende pop innovatør MARINA utgir endelig første del, Love, av sitt fjerde studioalbum, Love+Fear, i dag via Atlantic Records. Love+Fear er to samlinger på åtte spor hver som til sammen blir et album og markerer MARINAs oppfølgerplate til kritikerroste, Froot, fra 2015. Love+Fear kan beskrives som en både frodig, levende og kraftfull representasjon av de to viktigste emosjonelle drivkreftene bak menneskelige responser. Love er fylt med en lengsel etter å nyte livet (Handmade Heaven) og et ønske om å forene (To Be Human). Fear utforsker temaer temaer som er hardere å jobbe gjennom og forstå, som formål (Life is Strange), usikkerhet i kjærlighet (Believe in Love og Soft to be Strong), og store endringer i vår sosiale bevissthet knyttet til systematisk kvinnehat og seksuelt misbruk utført av mektige figurer i media (Karma). Som en kompanjong til Love, viser og utforsker disse ideene de polariserende sidene ved menneskets natur. MARINA har brukt de siste to årene på å skrive og spille inn det nye albumet på tvers av London, Sverige og Los Angeles med anerkjente navn som Noonie Bao, Sam De Jong, Oscar Görres, Camille Purcell, Justin Parker og Joe Janiak. Om albumet forklarer MARINA,"My songwriting has always been inspired and shaped by traditional storytelling and social shifts in our culture. As a society we have experienced such major social change in the past three years - politically, digitally and psychologically. Love+Fear reflects this." Den siste delen av Love+Fear albumet blir utgitt 26.

  • Neuronal Dynamics of Grapheme-Color Synesthesia A
    Neuronal Dynamics of Grapheme-Color Synesthesia A Thesis Presented to The Interdivisional Committee for Biology and Psychology Reed College In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Bachelor of Arts Christian Joseph Graulty May 2015 Approved for the Committee (Biology & Psychology) Enriqueta Canseco-Gonzalez Preface This is an ad hoc Biology-Psychology thesis, and consequently the introduction incorporates concepts from both disciplines. It also provides a considerable amount of information on the phenomenon of synesthesia in general. For the reader who would like to focus specifically on the experimental section of this document, I include a “Background Summary” section that should allow anyone to understand the study without needing to read the full introduction. Rather, if you start at section 1.4, findings from previous studies and the overall aim of this research should be fairly straightforward. I do not have synesthesia myself, but I have always been interested in it. Sensory systems are the only portals through which our conscious selves can gain information about the external world. But more and more, neuroscience research shows that our senses are unreliable narrators, merely secondary sources providing us with pre- processed results as opposed to completely raw data. This is a very good thing. It makes our sensory systems more efficient for survival- fast processing is what saves you from being run over or eaten every day. But the minor cost of this efficient processing is that we are doomed to a life of visual illusions and existential crises in which we wonder whether we’re all in The Matrix, or everything is just a dream.

BUTLER JOURNAL OF UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH, VOLUME 5 ELECTRA HEART’S PROVOCATIVE PERFORMANCE: CHALLENGING HEGEMONIC MASCULINITY THROUGH JUXTAPOSITION EMILY STARK, BUTLER UNIVERSITY MENTOR: DACIA CHARLESWORTH Abstract Music has long been used as a rhetorical device to send messages and challenge social norms, and as a result of its accessibility and influential nature, it can be extremely persuasive. Marina Diamandis, known by her stage name of Marina and the Diamonds, has used her recent rise to popularity and fame to send such a message through her second album, in which she creates the persona of Electra Heart. Electra Heart is an ultrafeminine character who sings about provocative topics such as breaking hearts and performs stereotypical masculine behaviors. Literature about music as rhetoric and about women in pop music informs my analysis of the persona of Electra Heart and her song and video “How to Be a Heartbreaker.” The analysis is broken down into themes of gender roles, identity, and juxtaposition and incongruity.
