Biography: Kris Kristofferson BIOGRAPHY: KRIS KRISTOFFERSON SONGWRITING TRAILBLAZER Among the major names in the Outlaw movement, Kris Kristofferson probably took the most unlikely path. He studied literature in college and earned a higher degree in literature from Oxford University in England. He enlisted in the U.S. Army, learned to fly a helicopter, and he became an officer. He accepted a job teaching literature at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. And then he walked away from it all, following his dreams and moving to Nashville to become a songwriter. Within a few short years, he became a trailblazer for a group of other young Outlaw songwriters. Born June 22, 1936, in Brownsville, Texas, Kristofferson grew up in a military family, and he did well in school and sports. He also listened to the Grand Ole Opry and worked at writing songs. Still, music was a hobby until 1965 when, two weeks before he was to start teaching at West Point, he came to Nashville to explore the songwriting scene. Foster encouraged Kristofferson to record his own A chance meeting with a music idol, Johnny Cash, music, despite his gravelly voice, and he caught on and a talk with producer “Cowboy” Jack Clement among young listeners. convinced Kristofferson to change careers. “I feel very lucky that my voice has been accepted,” “If you want to be a songwriter,” Clement said, “and he said, “but it wouldn’t be if I was singing other you don’t care if you ever make any money at it, people’s songs.” and you can’t do anything else — I mean, you just Elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame in can’t not write songs, then do it.” 2004, Kristofferson has also built a respected Kristofferson’s parents were crushed, but he was acting career, in between writing, recording, determined.

  • Adapting Idols Joost De Bruin and Koos Zwaan
    Introduction: Adapting Idols Joost de Bruin and Koos Zwaan Idols is one of the most popular and successful global television formats produced in the last decade. The format has been adapted in over 40 territories all over the world, as the appendix – compiled by Sukhpreet Singh and Martin Kretschmer for this book – shows. The original show, Pop Idol, went to air in the UK in 2001. The next year, local versions of the show were broadcast in Poland, South Africa, the USA, Germany and the Netherlands. By the end of 2004 – exactly three years after the introduction of Pop Idol – 30 territories were screening their own Idols shows, illustrating the rapid global spread of the format. In some cases Idols was produced for transnational geographic regions, such as Asian Idol – with auditions in India, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and Vietnam – and the Pan-Arab Superstar, which featured contestants from Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Jordan, Libya, Morocco and Algeria. The most recent branch on the global Idols tree at the time of writing is Idol Puerto Rico. The owners of the Idols format, FremantleMedia and 19 Entertainment, have thus managed to capitalize on the work put into the design of the original UK show by turning it into a format and selling it to a range of territories. The goal of Idols shows is to involve a nation (or a region consisting of several different nations) in a quest for a popular music idol who can be admired by all. Idols shows are commonly divided into four distinct phases (Holmes 2004).

And for this very reason, music, like many other disciplines, has only found the opportunity to shake this status quo and make somewhat novel breakthroughs with the –at times overtly vulgar—moves of Modernism. When we avoid reducing design to merely physical mediums and place emphasis also on its intellectual context, its abstract predicates—ranging from method to model, from imagination to the “artwork”—it would not be misguided to assert that music has been subject to a process which has gained momentum especially with the Republic, while its most primal moves can only be deciphered in the Tanzimat reform era, and that its reflections—products—have gained visibility again along the axis of this process.

  • The Imaginary World in the Fan–Music Idol Relationship
    Ars Educandi 12/2015 ISSN 2083-0947 / ISSN (ONLINE) 2657-6058 DOI: 10.26881/ae.2015.12.09 Martyna Weilandt University of Gdansk The Imaginary World in the Fan–Music Idol Relationship. Selected Contexts of Contemporary Values of Pop Culture Scholarly literature devotes little attention to the phenomenon of fandom. It is not rarely that descriptions of fan culture are focused on deviation or psycho- pathology. Fandom understood as a permanent and engaged community of fans should not be associated with notions of youth subculture. In my opinion, the phenomenon is not clearly bad, either. Works pioneering in the area of fandom description include Henry Jen- kins’s Textual Poachers: Television Fans and Participatory Culture, and Camille Bacon Smith’s Enterprising Woman: Television Fandom and the Creation of Popular Myth, both published in 1952. The texts played a significant role in the way in which f a n s t u d i e s – an interdisciplinary discipline combining elements of sociology, an- thropology and media studies – are defined (Kobus 2013). The authors of the works sketched the most important fields of exploration of fan reception and discussed ways of perception of fan art, which actively responds to certain pop-culture sens- es and meanings (Kobus 2013). What is still missing, however, is extensive descrip- tions of music fan communities and the conceptualization of significant concepts such as the fan hierarchy, hardcore fans and others. The said pejorative tone of the existing fandom descriptions may cause negative simplifications and the per- ception of all fans as persons who are unbalanced or dangerous.
