The Cyclical Influence of Society and Music Throughout time, there have been discussions over the age-old question: ‘which came first, the chicken or the egg?’ This type of question applies to many other areas of life and it is the basis for this paper. The question that this paper explores is ‘does society change music, or does music change society?’ This paper will show that neither came first, but rather they exist simultaneously in a never-ending cycle. By discussing the influences of two musical icons, Pearl Jam and Lady Gaga, this paper will show the perpetual cycle of how society and music influence each other. Society is constantly changing and there are always movements that gain public attention. Whether that attention is positive or negative does not matter; it is attention nonetheless.

  • Political Pearl Jam Raises Pepsi Center Roof
    Political Pearl Jam raises Pepsi Center roof The Gazette (Colorado Springs, CO) April 3, 2003 | ROBIN A. ROTHMAN; THE GAZETTE It was 11 p.m. when the house lights came up Tuesday at the Pepsi Center, but the guys in Pearl Jam weren't ready to vacate the stage. They weren't concerned that they were 15 minutes past curfew. After all, it was the start of their 2003 U.S. tour and they had barely begun the third song of their second encore. The crowd was equally determined to "Keep on Rockin' in the Free World" for at least a few more minutes. The song, both in performance and in sentiment - "Take to the streets! Raise your voice!" - was a powerful ending to a night of varied content and mixed response. Amply sprinkled with tunes from their latest release, "Riot Act," the set list adequately represented the group's catalog, but the selection was clearly geared toward those fans dedicated enough to own albums after the debut "Ten" and follow-up "Vs." "Love Boat Captain," a touching tribute to the nine fans trampled when the band played in Denmark in 2000, opened the show slow and steady at 8:45 p.m. with the borrowed idea that "All you need is love." "Corduroy" and "Better Man" were obvious crowd-pleasers, and unsurprisingly those rare, older, bigger hits like "Even Flow," "Porch" and "Daughter" prompted sing-alongs. "I see you're into the song," frontman Eddie Vedder improvised during "Black," tying it in as if it were a standard lyric.

  • Glitch Poetics: Critical Sensory Realisms in Contemporary Language Practice
    Glitch Poetics: Critical Sensory Realisms in Contemporary Language Practice Nathan Jones Royal Holloway, University of London Submitted for Doctor of Philosophy [corrections] April 2019 "1 Declaration I declare that this thesis has been composed solely by myself and that it has not been submitted, in whole or in part, in any previous application for a degree. Parts of this work have been published previous to this submission, as follows: Parts of Chapter 1 “Body-System Glitch” and the Introduction were published as “Glitch Poetics: The Posthumanities of Error” in Bloomsbury Handbook of Electronic Literature (ed. Joseph Tabbi 2017), and A Peer Review Journal About Machine Research (2018). Parts of Chapter 2 “Lyric-Code Glitch” and the Introduction were published in A Peer Review Journal About Excessive Research (2017) and Thresholds Journal (2017). Except where stated otherwise by reference or acknowledgment, the work presented is entirely my own. Signed ______Nathan Jones Date __22/04/2019_______ "2 Abstract This is a combined practice and theory submission. In it, I propose the term ‘glitch poetics’ to name a mode for reading and writing with deliberate error in contemporary literary texts. I pose the question: do glitches offer a moment of correspondence between the (already diverse) concerns of poetics and those of critical media practice? In attending to this question I perform a range of close- readings of contemporary media technologies and texts looking for moments in which revealing errors allow us to read across poems, devices, bodies and environments. In “Body-System Glitch”, I use analysis of textual artworks by Caroline Bergvall and Erica Scourti, alongside that of two new media devices to show how the relationships between physical and technical systems are exposed and re-constituted by language errors.

MÜNSTER Heidelberg University, Heidelberg, Germany Email: [email protected] Abstract This paper argues that Indian farmers’ suicides may fruitfully be described as public deaths. Based on ethnographic fieldwork in the South Indian district of Wayanad (Kerala), it shows that farmers’ suicides become ‘public deaths’ only via the enumerative and statistical practices of the Indian state and their scandalization in the media. The political nature of suicide as public death thus depends entirely on suicide rates and their production by the state itself.
