Volume I These days, labels such as classical, rock and pop mean less and less since young musicians frequently blur boundaries between genres. These young musicians have built an alternative musical universe. I construct five different categories to explore this universe. They are 1) circuits of alternate concert venues, 2) cross-genre collaborations, 3) alternative modes of musical groups, 4) new compositional trends in classical chamber music, and 5) new ensembles and record labels. ii In this dissertation, I aim to explore these five categories, connecting them to recent cultural trends in New York. -
Psaudio Copper
Issue 41 SEPTEMBER 11TH, 2017 Welcome to Copper #41! The title isn't to announce a James Taylor retrospective---sorry to crush your hopes--- but is just what I see in today's weather reports. The Pacific Northwest, where I'm bound for a long-delayed vacation, is up in flames, along with many other parts of the tinder-dry US. Meanwhile, back in my former home of Florida...they've already had nearly two feet of rain, and Hurricane Irma is not even close to the state yet. Stay safe, everyone. I'm really pleased and excited to have Jason Victor Serinus back with us, with the first part of an intensive introduction to art song. Jason brings tremendous knowledge of the field, and provides plenty of recorded examples to listen to, and in the case of videos, watch. There are many stunning performances here, and I hope you enjoy this extraordinary resource. We'll have Part 2 in Copper #42. Dan Schwartz is again in the lead-off spot with the second in his series of articles on encounters–this one, with Phil Lesh and crew; Seth Godin tells us how control is overrated; Richard Murison hears a symphony; Duncan Taylor takes us to Take 1; Roy Hall tells about a close encounter of the art kind; Anne E. Johnson introduces indie artist Anohni; and I worry about audio shows (AGAIN, Leebs??), and conclude my look at Bang & Olufsen. Industry News tells of the sale of audiophile favorite, Conrad-Johnson; Gautam Raja is back with an amazing story that I think you'll really enjoy, all about Carnatic music, overlooked heritage, and the universal appeal of rock music; and Jim Smith takes another warped look at LPs. -

Manifestations of Transphobia in Computer-Mediated Communication… 103
Studies in Polish Linguistics vol. 14, 2019, issue 3, pp. 101–123 doi:10.4467/23005920SPL.19.016.11081 www.ejournals.eu/SPL https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3481-1421 Jagiellonian University Magdalena Derecka Manifestations of Transphobia in Computer- Mediated Communication. A Case Study of Language Discrimination in English and Polish Internet-Mediated Discourse Abstract This article aims to investigate the linguistic means of transphobic discrimination observed on the Internet. The languages analysed are English and Polish, since they both offer their speakers direct and indirect ways that discrimination manifests itself, yet Polish seems to enable a more noticeable means because of the presence of grammatical gender in the lan- guage. The paper discusses twelve samples of Computer-Mediated Communication, using the methodological tools offered by Critical Discourse Analysis and Queer Theory. Based on the analysis of the samples, the article shows that even though transphobia lies mainly in lexical choices of the speaker, it is not always direct, i.e. visible in insults and attacks on a trans person, but is oftentimes indirect, i.e. visible in the incorrect use of personal pro- nouns in both English and Polish, or in the incorrect use of grammatical gender in Polish. Moreover, while transphobia visible in language is not always intended by the speaker, it can still be considered to be discriminatory. Keywords computer-mediated communication, discriminatory language, grammatical gender, social media, transphobia, transphobic language Streszczenie Artykuł ma na celu zbadanie środków językowych używanych w języku transfobicznym zaobserwowanym w internecie. Analizie poddane zostały języki angielski i polski, po- nieważ obydwa umożliwiają ich użytkownikom bezpośrednie i pośrednie sposoby dys- kryminowania na tle transfobicznym, język polski zdaje się jednak umożliwiać bardziej zauważalny sposób ze względu na obecny w nim rodzaj gramatyczny. -
ANOHNI Miracle Now Pressemeddelelse
Miracle Now 24. maj åbner Nikolaj Kunsthal udstillingen Miracle Now af den britisk-amerikanske kunstner og musiker ANOHNI. Værker på papir, malerier og skulpturer bliver ledsaget af en 9-kanals videoinstallation og skrøbelige dokumenter fra ANOHNIs arkiv. ANOHNI opnåede først international anerkendelse med sit band Antony and the Johnsons, som opstod ud af after-hours performance-scenen i 1990ernes New York. ANOHNIs videoinstallation er en udforskning af billede, lyd og tekst baseret på hendes stykke fra 1995 Miracle Now og får sin premiere i Nikolaj Kunsthals Nedre Galleri. I Øvre Galleri fremvises et bredt udvalg af ANOHNIs værker, som viser hendes sans for materialernes taktile egenskaber: collager lavet af fundne objekter og hentet fra forskellige samlinger, fotografier, skulpturelle værker i den store skala og voksmalerier. Hendes animistiske drømmerier udtrykker følelser, en bevidsthed om medskyld og en længsel efter forandring stillet over for det menneskeskabte økologiske selvmord. “Udvikler naturen sig, eller forandrer hun sig bare? Der kan nu lagres så store mængder informationer på så lidt plads. Videnskabsfolk har for nylig sagt, at traumer, som har ramt vores forfædre, ændrer vores genom på påviselige måder. Jeg forestiller mig, at man i fremtiden kan anbringe en vanddråbe i en maskine og få alt at vide om hvert et øjeblik, dens atomer har gennemlevet og alle de levende og ikke-levende organismer, den nogensinde har været en del af. Da mit stykke Miracle Now først blev opført i 1995, var min største drøm, at Naturen ville kunne fastholde en viden om alt, hun nogensinde havde været. Det rummede et fundament af håb for mig, ansigt til ansigt med det økologiske sammenbrud”. -
