Nas, Marlies de Groot and Michelle Schut Introduction The city is a complex amalgamation of numerous phenomena, based on a multiplicity of dynamic interactions. Due to an increase in density, an almost continuous cooperation between the inhabitants occurs often resulting in socio-economic improvement. Con- sidering the constant development of living standards – infrastructure, production and consumption – the city and urbanization should generally be regarded as something pos- itive without thereby disguising problems of social inequality and violence. This is of im- portance as in just a few decennia eighty percent of the world’s population will be living in urbanized areas resulting in a single, global city: ecumenopolis. There are various dimensions of the city which can be studied intensively, such as the morphologic, demographic, economic, social-cultural, administrative and planning dimension. The cultural dimension of the city as a whole, which also includes symbols and rituals, has rarely been identified by science. Sociologists and geographers have in- vestigated the city thoroughly and frequently characterized cities as a whole, but they have ignored the symbolic dimension and its interpretation. Anthropologists, on the other hand, have a lot of attention for symbols and rituals, but are hardly concerned with the city and especially not the city as a whole. During the last decades this situation has improved. Within the general field of urban studies, urban anthropology has attracted more and more attention, especially in the USA and Europe. One of the major contemporary tendencies in urban anthropology is urban symbolic ecology. It pursues the study of the cultural dimension of the city, ori- ented towards establishing the distribution and meaning of symbols and rituals in rela- tion to the cultivated surroundings (Nas, 1990, 1998). Central to this, is the process of social production and consumption of symbolism and ritual. Rituals are recurrent stan- dardized deeds within the framework of the construction of meaning. A symbol, in con- trast to a sign, is something that refers to something else; it bears extrinsic values. Urban symbolic ecology is rooted in human ecology and especially the research of the Chicago School, which among others focused on the description and analysis of the distribution of social phenomena over urban space. Classic is the study of Burgess on Chicago, projecting a number of concentric circles on this city to specify the differences in status, ethnicity and urbanization characteristics of the population. In urban symbolic ecology, this approach is applied to symbols and rituals and several case studies have re- sulted in interesting and complex types of urban symbolic patterns. Cities ful of Symbols Boek 2_Layout 2 21-10-11 12:10 Pagina 8 8 Cities Full of Symbols Urban anthropological studies of symbolism are also indebted to the work of Kevin Lynch in The Image of the City (1960). This influence is twofold. Lynch coins three con- cepts in this study of American towns, namely identity (distinguishing the urban elements from each other), structure (showing the pattern of identified elements) and meaning of urban elements, in order to get to grips with the perceived reality and imageability of cities. He strongly disregards meaning, however, because he considers it too personal and also too diverse to yield systematic results. In contrast to Lynch’s opinion, we think that meaning is a crucial concept in the study of urban symbolism. We have provided ev- idence that the meanings attached to the urban environment may entail clear patterns depending on the social and cultural conditions. In addition to this difference of opinion on the role of the concept of meaning, a strong congruence is found in his technique of research: the use of the so-called mental maps. Lynch combines interviews with the drawing of a map of the city for data collection. These mental maps create the possibil- ity to discuss all sorts of ideas on the city with the informants. Leeke Reinders (pers. comm.) has even introduced the concept of a narrative map, which refers to a dialogue with the respondent on the city layout and built environment, without drawing a concrete map on paper, but instead using a virtual map depicted in words. Many researchers, in the field of urban symbolism, ask their informants to draw a map in combination with an interview about the results of the map for the explanation of its content and meaning. The method has proven to be very productive. The third root of urban symbolism studies is found in semiotics and the process of signification in the urban setting. The real city and the hypercity are distinguished in this approach. The real city as a whole and its constituting elements are signified and the sig- nifiers, i.e. the configuration of signifiers, form a layer of meanings that sometimes may become stronger than reality and constitute a hyperreality in their own right. The produc- tion, consumption and distribution over space of those signifiers in a positive sense (hy- percity) and a negative sense (shadow city) make up the core of hypercity research. So, the hypercity theory proposes that the symbolic side of a city is so compelling that it can be seen as being detached from reality (Nas, Jaffe and Samuels, 2006). The symbolic dimension shapes itself to form a hyperreality or a hypercity, which lives a life of its own and is, to a certain extent, suitable for manipulation. This is implied by the ter- rain of city marketing and city branding, as cities in competition try vigorously to differ- entiate from one another. Inspiration for urban symbolic research is further found in the works of a wide circle of scholars who have contributed to five edited volumes, namely Urban Symbolism (Nas, 1993), a special issue of the International Journal of Urban and Regional Research with the title Urban Rituals and Symbols (Nas, 1998), Urban Symbolism and Rituals (Jez- ernik, 1999), Hypercity: The Symbolic Side of Urbanism (Nas and Samuels, 2006), and a Cities ful of Symbols Boek 2_Layout 2 21-10-11 12:10 Pagina 9 1. Introduction – Variety of Symbols 9 special issue of Stedebouw & Ruimtelijke Ordening called Hyper Stad (Reinders, 2008). Very significant as a general source of ideas on urban symbolism are publications re- lated to the production and consumption of space and place by authors such as De Certeau (1984), Nora (1989), Castells (1996), and Low (2000).

    NIELSEN MUSIC 20I7 YEAR-END MUSIC REPORT CANADA 1 INTRODUCTION The music industry in Canada has never been stronger, with record consumption, growing live music attendance and a new class of emerging artists. Nielsen Music has also had an amazing, transformative year. Technological advancements and new partnerships have allowed us to provide robust, comprehensive data in more accessible, customizable and useful ways in 2017. Over the past year, we received a record number of requests for Nielsen Music research and insight reports. Welcome to the Nielsen Music Year-End Report, which examines the trends that shaped the Paul Shaver Canadian music industry in 2017 with definitive consumption figures and charts. Vice President/ Head of Nielsen Music Canada Overall consumption of albums, songs and On-Demand Audio streaming grew 13.6% year-over- year. On-Demand Audio streaming offset decreases in track and album sales and, on December 3, for the first time in history, it surpassed the 900 million per week mark. Ed Sheeran led all artists in Canada with overall consumption and had the top-selling album of the year. Six Canadians had No. 1 albums on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart in 2017, including The Weeknd’s Starboy, Drake’s More Life, Arcade Fire’s Everything Now, Shania Twain’s Now, Pierre Lapointe’s La Science Du Coeur and Gord Downie’s Introduce Yerself. The passing of Gord Downie captured the nation’s attention. In the week following his death, The Tragically Hip’s overall consumption increased by 1,000% over the previous week. Also, six of the group’s albums re-entered the Billboard Canadian Albums chart.

It prompts questioning within the author such as, “What has this doctoral journey come to mean, and where do I go now as I step outside the roots which have planted in me this need to wander? How do I navigate this struggle?” The work is a coming-to-terms piece. It is a hopeful wandering and documented artifact capturing an organic process of unlearning, relearning, and examining locations of being, while recognizing the emergent need to embrace fracture, fiction, and multiple conflicting positions.

    King Alpha’s Song in a Strange Land: Jamaican Migrant and Canadian Host in Toronto’s Transnational Reggae Music Scene, 1973-1990 by John Jason Collins Wilson A dissertation Presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Guelph, Ontario, Canada © John Jason Collins Wilson, May 2013 ABSTRACT King Alpha’s Song in a Strange Land: Jamaican Migrant and Canadian Host in Toronto’s Transnational Reggae Music Scene, 1973-1990 John Jason Collins Wilson Advisor: University of Guelph, 2013 Doctor Catharine Wilson Reggae music facilitated a cultural dialogue between Jamaican migrant and Canadian host in Toronto during the 1970s and 1980s. Exchanges flowed across the city’s ethnic frontier, bridging black and white youth together in an ‘oppositional’ and musical movement. While migrants enacted their Jamaican ethnicity in places where reggae was played, many non-Jamaicans satisfied a curiosity in the music of their migrant friends. This study examines the process of migration of people and music as seen from both the migrant and the host’s perspective. It is as much about black Jamaicans as it is about white Torontonians. Twenty Jamaicans and twenty non-Jamaicans were interviewed for this project. Though reggae became an expected part of Toronto’s musical vernacular, the Canadian version meant different things to different people. Indeed, sometimes the only thread that tied the varied experiences together was that Toronto was the place where reggae happened. Still, as a hybrid, reggae had rather evolved outside of place. It was a transnational musical form, constantly updated by influences traversing the ‘Black Atlantic’ in an on-going and triangular musical conversation.
