It suggests that rather than a focus on print and writing favoured by theories in the wake of the linguistic turn, performed lyrics and sounds may be better suited to guide the conceptual work. Accordingly, the essay chooses a classic of early twentieth-century digital music – M.I.A.’s 2003/2005 single “Galang”–as its guiding example. It ultimately leads up to a reflection on what Ravi Sundaram coined as “pirate modernity,” which challenges us to rethink notions of artistic authorship and authority, hegemony and subversion, culture and theory in the postcolonial world of today.

  • Billboard Magazine
    WorldMags.net out. Skrillex chopped and warped the 140 BPM tune into an 80 BPM bass monster the next day. The two DJs worked on the song some more on a private jet when they left the island. “I mixed it over the next five months,” says Diplo, “and then Kiesza performed it with me in New York for the very first time in front of 17,000 people.” He grins, clearly pleased by the way it turned out. This is how a modern hit gets made, Diplo-style: not in big-money studios, but on the move, in hotel suites, private jets, SUVs — bits and pieces pasted together with collaborators all over the world. “He didn’t grow up playing the piano; he came up as a DJ,” says Rechtshaid. “He has this naturally different approach.” But radio- redefining hits (from M.I.A.’s “Paper Planes,” which kicked off the current era of dance-music-powered pop, to Usher’s “Climax,” which spent 20 weeks on the Hot 100) are just one piece of Diplo’s empire, which, Billboard estimates, will earn him $12 million in 2014. In 2013 he played 221 live dates; this year he thinks he’ll easily eclipse that number — including 23 stops on his own Mad Decent Block Party traveling festival, which he has been headlining with help from acts including Outkast and Dillon Francis. He has a Saturday-night radio show, Diplo and Friends, on BBC’s Radio 1 that, like his music, he records on the fly. And in partnership with Dr.

  • Mangino 1 “To Congo, to Colombo, Can't Stereotype My Thing Yo:” M.I.A.'S Politics of Difference a Senior Honors Thesis P
    Mangino 1 “To Congo, To Colombo, can’t stereotype my thing yo:” M.I.A.’s Politics of Difference A Senior Honors Thesis Presented in partial fulfillment of the with research distinction in Comparative Studies in the undergraduate colleges at The Ohio State University By Gabriella Marie Mangino The Ohio State University 2008 Project Advisor: Barry Shank, Comparative Studies Mangino 2 Introduction Nearly four years ago, I sat in my dorm room struggling with homework while the television provided some background noise. Tuned to MTV’s college sibling station, “MTV-U” I dismissed most of the uninteresting indie-rock. Then a new song came on, starting with a simple rhythm, a single drum tap, soon followed by a female vocal. Rapping in unrefined couplets, the voice was gritty with a slight British twang. The song intensified with a dance-y electronic loop. It was not like anything I had recently heard, what was this music? The screen offered equally interesting visuals; a woman of South-East Asian descent roaming the jungle and dancing. The song was “Sunshowers,” and the artist, Mathangi (Maya) Arulpragasam, better known as M.I.A. Since then I have been following the journey of M.I.A. as she occupies a unique space in popular music. I soon discovered she was an art school grad, and the war- inspired graphics in the following video for “Galang” were in fact created by her. I soon started to notice the stories of her revolutionary father along with numerous rumors about her love life and radical opinions. Her sound perplexed music journalists—it’s not quite hip hop, not quite electronic—and after recognizing her Sri Lankan heritage, it most frequently got thrown under the vast umbrella of the “world music” category.

Phil.) Wien, Februar 2010 Studienkennzahl lt. Studienblatt: A 307 Studienrichtung lt. Studienblatt: Kultur- und Sozialanthropologie Betreuer: ao. Univ.-Prof. Mag. DDr. Werner Zips 2 Für Ricardo und Debora sowie die Funkeiros und Funkeiras aller Comunidades Cariocas, Brasiliens und weltweit „When you see a river from afar, it may look like a blue (or green, or brown) line across a landscape; something of awesome permanence. But at the same time, ‘you cannot step into the same river twice,’ for it is always moving, and only in this way does it achieve its durability. The same way with culture – even as you perceive structure, it is entirely dependent on ongoing process. More precisely, the flow occurs in time and has directions. As a whole, it is endless; externalizations depend on previous interpretations, depending on previous externalizations. And the externalization now will bring about interpretations which in their turn lead to further externalizations in the future. Yet in detail there are differences, as some of the externalizations are constantly present, some occur again and again, although in each instance they are short lived phenomena; and some seldom or only once. In one way or other, also, the flow is everywhere, for as soon as people make themselves accessible to the senses of others, through physical co-presence or artefactual extensions, they render themselves interpretable” (Hannerz 1992: 4). 3 Danksagung Mein erster und ganz besonderer Dank gilt Ricardo und Debora Nemer, für ihre Gastfreundschaft, Unterstützung und Hilfe während meiner Feldforschung in Rio de Janeiro.
