ABSTRACT This thesis explores the limitations of determinism in regards to music, media, and the constitution of subjectivity. Its methodological resource is derived from a synthesis between media ecology, social psychoanalysis, and music semiotics. The case studies describe the incorporation of nostalgia into popular music ballads, the domestication of the phonograph, the contemporary trend of mashups, and the studio technique of backmasking. The conclusion asks that we readjust our approach to music, media, and subjectivity to account for the possibility of creative acts that are bound within a network of determinants. I use, finally, the writings of Maurice Merleau-Ponty to explore the body as a primary site of indeterminate mediation, which renders possible for the subject a potential of creative embodied expression. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This thesis would not have been completed without the guidance and perseverance of my committee as a whole: Henry Klumpenhouwer in music, Rob Shields in sociology, and Leo Mos in psychology. Henry I thank for his guidance and especially his patience throughout my many years here, which have manifested many ideas and many drafts, each of which he gave serious critical attention and encouragement. Rob offered unending support for my creativity, allowing me to explore the potentials of the Intermedia Research Studio in particular. I thank Leo for cigarettes and coffee, for upholding the art of conversation and for illuminating the beautiful in scholarship. I am also thankful for the extensive conversations about and performance of music I have had with many extraordinary people over the years: Trevor, Michael, Everett, Amy, Craig, Jay, and countless others. I owe a great debt to the departments of music and sociology at the University of Alberta for allowing me the opportunity to teach a wide variety of courses in popular music, analysis, and media theory. Through these courses I was able to discuss the ideas in this thesis with the most open- minded and inspiring students an instructor could hope for. Lastly, the empowering aspects of this thesis would not have appeared without the arrival of Penelope Wren Vallee, who has shown me the simple virtues of creativity and love. My final gratitude is extended to Julia, my beacon and my muse, for her support and friendship, and for the pure enjoyment of things.

A patient of Carl Jung’s once dreamt she was overlooking a circle of lions, in the middle of which a pit was filled with a hot burning substance. Knowing she had to go in, she dove from a very high place, submerging herself in the pit’s heat. With only her shoulder jutting out, Jung appeared in the dream and pushed her down, declaring: “Not out, but through it!” When she recounted what he’d said to her in the dream, Jung agreed that the only way out of a problem is by facing it directly (Jung 2007, 15). In this thesis I explore the determinism of psychoanalytic semiotics to selected intersections between music, media, and the constitution of the subject. While I do not rebuke such determinism I do not condone it in isolation. I actively resist the predominant trend in cultural studies to celebrate the empowerment of subjectivity, but I do not leave the subject suspended in disempowerment; I simply move through determinism as a dialectical step towards empowerment. The methodological resource is drawn from media determinism (McLuhan 1994; Ong 1967), the Lacanian constitution of the subject (Bowie 1991; Chiesa 2007; Hansen 2000; Lacan 1998, 2002), music semiotics (Shepherd and Wicke 1997; Schwarz 1999), and finally from a phenomenology of the body according to Maurice Merleau-Ponty (1968, 2002); though the latter makes an appearance only in the methods section and in the conclusion. I introduce Merleau-Ponty to suggest that the determinist perspective places severe limitations on the subject, 1 Music, Media, and Subjectivity: On the Limits of Determinism for as much as objects are themselves determinate of perception to a fixed proportion, the manner in which they are perceived through experience is essentially indeterminate. Indeed, although I have been swayed over the years by cultural populism to place culture ahead of its determinants, it is a sway that has conflicted with my own practices as a musician. I presume determinism and indeterminism as exposing a necessary and mysterious dialectic of creative expression. In my musical experience, restrictions constitute a predominant factor in the creative process; from the manufacture of musical instruments to the limited transductive capabilities of the studio, from the finite career options in the industry to the limited song structures and arrangements available, determinants are an everyday ubiquity for any practicing musician. In creating music one must persistently locate interminable means of constructing curvatures out of boundaries. This thesis thus succeeds as a historical exercise in its examination of such boundaries, but

  • 1 This Was the Year That the Shadows Appeared As Singers Before a Pan
    1975 This was the year that The Shadows appeared as singers before a pan-European audience. The earlier 1973 initiative had not produced the desired outcome and by 1974 they were in the wilderness and did not exist as a viable group. They got together to perform at the Palladium on 27 October of that year as a personal tribute to and for the benefit of the widow of BBC producer Colin Charman. BBC boss Bill Cotton heard them and suggested that they might like to represent the UK at the Eurovision Song Contest the following year. They accepted, formed a working ensemble, and undertook a few local ‘practice’ gigs while preparing and practising the songs. The chosen song, [254] LET ME BE THE ONE, was one of six put forward for the UK’s entry in the Eurovision Contest of 1975, and was the last of the contenders performed over six successive weeks on Lulu’s BBC TV show at the start of the year. It was duly televised in Stockholm on 22 March but came in second to Dutch group Teach-In’s lyrically challenged ‘Dinge-Dong’ ~ English title ‘Ding-A-Dong’ (“Ding- A-Dong every hour,/ When you pick a flower …”), which impressed the British public sufficiently to enjoy a seven-week residence in the Singles charts (climbing to No.13). No such good fortune attended the release of The Shadows’ follow-up to their charting Eurovision Single, another piece from the same composer, the staggeringly inane, hopelessly unamusing [266] RUN BILLY RUN (“Closed my eyes, I tried countin’ sheep,/ Desp-rate Dan just looked like Bo-Peep,/ I can’t sleep”).

  • Emergent Player-Driven Narrative in Blades in the Dark and Dungeons & Dragons
    Emergent Player-Driven Narrative in Blades in the Dark and Dungeons & Dragons A Comparative Study Faculty of Arts Department of Game Design Authors: Oscar Svan & Anna T.H. Wuolo Bachelor’s Thesis in Game Design, 15 hp Program: Bachelor’s Program in Game Design and Project Management Supervisor: Michael Hiessboeck Examiner: Josephine Baird June, 2021 Abstract This paper presents a comparative study on two Tabletop Roleplaying Games, Dungeons & Dragons and Blades in the Dark. This paper takes a look at the narrative differences within the two systems. More specifically investigate if Blades in the Dark is more playerdriven than Dungeons & Dragons. The two tested as closely as possible and will be compared with each other. This is a close reading on the rules and player agency rather than a one-on-one comparison. The comparisons were made regarding the mechanics and narrative differences within the systems rather than quality of the story. This study was conducted by running two sessions, one for each system, played by separate groups with the same game scenario and premise. Meaning that the background for both games, character and plot for the session were the same. Comparisons were made by observing player decisions, situations that arose and the influence that the gamemasters had on the game. It was found that there is a clear difference between the two systems, this difference regarding whether the players were reacting to the gamemaster, or the other way round. In Dungeons & Dragons, it was observed that the players reacted and acted according to what the gamemaster explained and played out, whereas in Blades in the Dark it appeared to be the opposite.
