Anti is actively telling you, song after song, that it's not trying to fit Heather D. Russell On January 28th 2017 Rihanna celebrated her one-year anniversarih, aptly titled ANTiversary. Her highly anticipated 8th studio album was a work of art that upon its release, shifted the course of her craft and career. The eclectic, raw, emotional, album was molecule shifting for Rihanna as well as her fanbase the Rihanna Navy. Rihanna states: "I had no idea how it would be recieved, neither was that something I considered. I just wanted to make a body of work that felt right." In many ways ANTi was not about finding herself as an artist, it was more about creating and re-creating herself as a complete person. Someone unafraid, someone boundless. In her process she trusted the way the music made her feel. As a Black woman from Barbados it is important to situate her life, career, and way of knowing within a specific Caribbean context. Indeed, Rihanna represents one part of the great vastness of the Black Diaspora and her cultural impact and relevance is undeniable. My introduction to Rihanna came on the heels of an assignment I was given as an undergraduate student, through my 'Intro to Caribbean Literature' class. I was tasked to select a Black person from the Caribbean and write about them by making connections to the experiences unearthed in the literature. It was then that I gained a true appreciation of 'Black' as diaspora and embraced the fullness of Rihanna, her unique identity, and her art. The ANTi album in many ways is an homage to not only Rihanna's Caribbean roots, but also a rich history and tradition of a particular type of resistance, birthed out of Caribbean, with roots that connect back to West Africa. As I have experienced the album I recalled the brilliant stories, music, and art that I engaged through my undergrad courses, creating a more holistic ANTi experience for me. I wanted to share that experience with Rihanna fans and fans of the ANTi album. From that, I decided to create the ANTi Syllabus: a curated list of books, film, music, and general information that has been instrumental in my introduction to, and appreciation for Caribbean art, culture, and life. I have also included resources that I have yet to read or engaged, as I intend to continue learning in this area. Join me. This syllabus is in no way comprehensive and is simply meant as a starting place for those wishing to engage in learning about Caribbean culture through resources that I have personally appreciated engaging. In the same manner I do not identify as a caribbean person and am open to feedback and critique of this syllabus. Things to Note Portions of this syllabus is organized by island. The art listed in each island could have been created by someone who is from that country or the art addresses the country where it is placed. Authors of books and articles are listed in bold, films just list the film title. Songs named will also list artists. This is a living and breathing document! If you have suggestions for additions, changes, problematizations, or general feedback please connect with me! Dedication To Dr. Viola Newton, thank you for taking me under your wing & showing me the importance of the Black diaspora. Thank you for sharing your love for the Caribbean and your home of St. Thomas. Thank you for teaching me to sing and love calypso. I love you endelssly. To Rihanna, thank you for that moment. I wont soon forget it. You are a wonder to behold and I am glad to have such a phenomenal example of what it means to be unapologetically yourselt. You are everything to me.

The appellants (collectively “Topshop”) own and operate the well known Topshop retail fashion stores. In 2012 Topshop began to sell in its stores and through its website a fashion t-shirt displaying a clearly recognisable image of Rihanna. The image was derived from a photograph of Rihanna which was taken when she was on a video shoot for a single from her “Talk That Talk” album. Rihanna is looking directly at the camera with her hair tied above her head with a headscarf. It is, as the judge thought, a striking image and similar images had been used by Rihanna in connection with the Talk That Talk album.

RESEARCH THESIS ISSN 1670-8539 Large-Scale Music Classification using an Approximate k-NN Classifier by Haukur Pálmason Research thesis submitted to the School of Computer Science at Reykjavík University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Computer Science January 2011 Research Thesis Committee: Dr. Björn Þór Jónsson, Supervisor Associate Professor, Reykjavík University, Iceland Dr. Laurent Amsaleg Research Scientist, IRISA-CNRS, France Dr. Yngvi Björnsson Associate Professor, Reykjavík University, Iceland Copyright Haukur Pálmason January 2011 Large-Scale Music Classification using an Approximate k-NN Classifier Haukur Pálmason January 2011 Abstract Content based music classification typically uses low-level feature vectors of high-dimensionality to represent each song. Since most classification meth- ods used in the literature do not scale well, the number of such feature vec- tors is usually reduced in order to save computational time. Approximate k-NN classification, on the other hand, is very efficient and copes better with scale than other methods. It can therefore be applied to more feature vec- tors within a given time limit, potentially resulting in better quality. In this thesis, we first demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of approximate k-NN classification through a traditional genre classification task, achieving very respectable accuracy in a matter of minutes. We then apply the approx- imate k-NN classifier to a large-scale collection of more than thirty thousand songs. We show that, through an iterative process, the classification con- verges relatively quickly to a stable state.

The promise was the first systematic attempt to provide a form of reparations to newly freed slaves, and it wasNo. astonishingly 18-4794, radical viewedfor its time, 3/04/2020 proto-socialist in its implications. In fact, such a policy would be radical in any country today: the federal government’s massive confiscation of private property — some 400,000 acres — formerly owned by Confederate land owners, and its methodical redistribution to former black slaves. What most of us haven’t heard is that the idea really was generated by black leaders themselves. It is difficult to stress adequately how revolutionary this idea was: As the historian Eric Foner puts it in his book, Reconstruction: America’s Unfinished Revolution, 1863- 1877, “Here in coastal South Carolina and Georgia, the prospect beckoned of a transformation of Southern society more radical even than the end of slavery.” Try

  • The Case of Rihanna: Erotic Violence and Black Female Desire
    Fleetwood_Fleetwood 8/15/2013 10:52 PM Page 419 Nicole R. Fleetwood The Case of Rihanna: Erotic Violence and Black Female Desire Note: This article was drafted prior to Rihanna and Chris Brown’s public reconciliation, though their rekindled romance supports many of the arguments outlined herein. Fig. 1: Cover of Esquire, November 2011 issue, U. S. Edition. Photograph by Russell James. he November 2011 issue of Esquire magazine declares Rihanna “the sexiest Twoman alive.” On the cover, Rihanna poses nude with one leg propped, blocking view of her breast and crotch. The entertainer stares out provocatively, with mouth slightly ajar. Seaweed clings to her glistening body. A small gun tattooed under her right arm directs attention to her partially revealed breast. Rihanna’s hands brace her body, and her nails dig into her skin. The feature article and accompanying photographs detail the hyperbolic hotness of the celebrity; Ross McCammon, the article’s author, acknowledges that the pop star’s presence renders him speechless and unable to keep his composure. Interwoven into anecdotes and narrative scenes explicating Rihanna’s desirability as a sexual subject are her statements of her sexual appetite and the pleasure that she finds in particular forms of sexual play that rehearse gendered power inequity and the titillation of pain. That Rihanna’s right arm is carefully positioned both to show the tattoo of the gun aimed at her breast, and that her fingers claw into her flesh, commingle sexual pleasure and pain, erotic desire and violence. Here and elsewhere, Rihanna employs her body as a stage for the exploration of modes of violence structured into hetero- sexual desire and practices.

  • Favorite Artists in Today's Music Wrld
    May 15, 2020 Created by (doja cat & lil uzi vert) (bruno mars & eminem) (taylor swift & rihanna) Dadaism On each of our pages, you will find a “guess the song” section. This was inspired by the Cut-Up technique, an aleatory literary technique where a written text is cut up word-by-word and then completely rearranged, resulting in a new text. This technique can be traced back to the Dadaists in the 1920s, a group of avant-garde artists located primarily in Europe. Since then, the Cut-Up technique has been used in a variety of other contexts. On our pages, we have taken a popular song from each artist, then used the Dadaist cut-up technique to scramble the lyrics and create a new text. We chose to do this to pay homage to and remind us of the avant-garde artists and the history of avant-garde zines. So, if you would like, take a shot at guessing the songs. The answers are found on the final page. We hope you enjoy our little game and, in the process, are reminded of how all zines began.
