  • By Austin Antoni Thesis
    Push the Tempo: A Socioeconomic Look into the New Status ofthe DJ in America An Honors Thesis (HONR 499) By Austin Antoni Thesis Advisor Professor Dom Caristi /l Signed Ball State University Muncie, Indiana April 2015 Expected Date of Graduation May 2015 Abstract The celebrations of dance and music have long been cultural strongpoints in history. The mystique behind the power of music created emotions and shared experiences allowed regular men and women to lead audiences on a journey of sound and the human soul. While the professions that these people operated in have changed in names and specificities, the role has long been a staple of our socioeconomic sphere. The latest incarnation of this role is the disc jockey whose job is to present and perform music for the nightlife masses. Progressions in global movements like electronic dance music and electronic music festivals have allowed disc jockeys in America in to reach superstardom and unseen levels of fanaticism amongst mainstream music listeners. Even with the soaring acclaim of these disc jockeys, questions have surfaced that debate whether the disc jockey's initial purpose has been obscured. In this socioeconomic investigation, I probe into the cultural and economic specifics of what have given the disc jockey this propulsion to the stars and whether this new status will change the future definition of the profession. Acknowledgements I would like to thank Professor Dom Caristi for the guidance and advice he provided for me in this project. His knowledge of media and entertairunent was a great help in creating ideas for me to structure my arguments around.

  • Work, Labour, Spiritual Homelessness, and the Construction of Meaning
    WORK, LABOUR, SPIRITUAL HOMELESSNESS, AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF MEANING Jennifer Robinson BA (Hons), MA (Lancaster University) April 2020 Lancaster University This thesis is submitted in fulfilment of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Organisation, Work and Technology DECLARATION This thesis is my own work, and has not been submitted in substantially the same form for the award of a higher degree elsewhere. 2 FUNDING This thesis was funded by the Economic and Social Research Council. 3 ABSTRACT This thesis explores the relational dynamic that exists between metaphysical belief and the economic cosmos, and how this relationship manifests in technically advanced societies that have undergone processes of secularisation through activity referred to as “work”. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, this thesis critically examines claims made by Organisational literature that the incorporation of “religious” and “spiritual” belief in the workplace is an inherent good for the organisation and their employees’ through contemporary sociological analysis of religion and the works of Weber (1905), Nietzsche (1888, 1889), Arendt (1958) and Berger (1964, 1973). Highlighting the condition of homelessness that results when previous taken-for-granted collective frameworks of belief are no longer invested with faith through which to conceive existence as meaningful or purposeful, such theoretical analysis underpins discussion of the “problem of work” identified by Berger to manifest in contexts that have undergone technical advancement and processes of secularisation. Providing historical contextualisation of the subsequent rise of soft capitalist Human Resource Management strategies, rhetoric and practices that seek to “bring life back to work” through the incorporation on (non)conceptual values, aspirations and ideals, this thesis considers what significance the nature and character of work poses in the contemporary Western UK context that is predominantly characterised by a condition of homelessness.

The ‘Gold on the Ceiling’ hitmakers - made up of Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney - have been forced to cancel their slot as Theadliners on the Love Stage at the 50th anniversary of the original Woodstock festival in August, because of a “scheduling conflict”. Taking to Twitter to announce the news, the band wrote: “Due to a scheduling conflict, The Black Keys will unfortunately need to cancel their set at @woodstockfest. The band wants to let fans know as soon as possible and before tickets go on sale. (sic)” Woodstock 50 will take place at Watkins Glen in New York between August 16 and 18, and will feature a line-up of both current acts, and those who played at the festival in 1969. As of the time of writing, a replacement for The Black Keys has not been announced, but the line-up is set to including acts such as Jay-Z, Miley Cyrus, The Killers, Run The Jewels, Vince Staples, The Raconteurs, Chance The Rapper, and Halsey. Meanwhile, Woodstock’s co-founder and co-producer Michael Lang recently said that this year’s festival is more than just a “concert”. He shared to the New York Times: “Coachella’s got its thing, as does Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza. But I think they’re all missing an opportunity to make a dif- ference in the world. They’re all perfect places for social engagement and for fostering ideas, and I think that’s lost.
