Diskurzivní Analýza Crowdfundingové Kampaně Amandy Palmer Masarykova univerzita Filozofická fakulta Ústav hudební vědy Teorie interaktivních médií Filip Šťastný Diskurzivní analýza crowdfundingové kampaně Amandy Palmer Bakalářská práce Vedoucí práce: Mgr. Viktor Pantůček, Ph.D. 2019 Čestně prohlašuji, že jsem tuto bakalářskou práci vypracoval samostatně s využitím uvedených pramenů a literatury. …………….…………. Filip Šťastný V Brně dne 5. 5. 2019 Na tomto místě bych rád poděkoval vedoucímu práce Mgr. Viktorovi Pantůčkovi, Ph.D. za odborné a organizační vedení při zpracování této práce. Anotace Bakalářská práce „Diskurzivní analýza crowdfundingové kampaně Amandy Palmer“ popisuje crowdfundingové působení umělkyně Amandy Palmer od její kickstarterové kampaně po současné využívání platformy Patreon. První část práce obsahuje úvod do prostředí, které kolem sebe tato umělkyně vytváří. Dále se práce dotýká problematiky crowdfundingu obecně. Ve druhé části je nahlíženo na crowdfundingovou kampaň z různých perspektiv. Cílem této práce je ověřit hypotézu, která říká, že se crowdfunding dá využít a chápat i v jiných rovinách než jen jako prostředek pro výběr financí. Práce dále nahlíží na crowdfunding z různých diskurzů. Ve výsledku by tedy měla vzniknout širší škála vhledů, které mohou čtenáři pomoci s chápáním tohoto fenoménu. Klíčová slova Crowdfunding, crowdfundingová kampaň, Amanda Palmer, diskurzivní analýza, financování, marketing, komunita, participativní umění, nová média, hudební průmysl Annotation This bachelor thesis titled „Discourse analysis of Amanda Palmer's crowdfunding campaign“ describes crowdfunding activities of Amanda Palmer since her Kickstarter campaign up to her use of the Patreon platform. First part of the thesis contains an introduction to the environment around the singer. Next it touches on the problematics of crowdfunding in general. In the second part we observe the crowdfunding campaign from various perspectives. The goal of this paper is to verify the hypothesis saying that crowdfunding can be used and understood on different levels than just as a financing tool. The thesis also looks at crowdfunding from various discourses. In the end, the thesis should offer wider scale of perspectives that can help the reader to understand this phenomenon.

Crowdfundingová kampaň většinou není pouze o získávání kapitálu. Jde o specifický marketingový nástroj, který silně pracuje s komunitou. Je to základní kámen, na kterém lze stavět diskusi, nástroj, skrz který lze získat zpětnou vazbu. Je to i prostředek, díky kterému lze tvořit umění, aktivizovat, bořit kult celebrit nebo např. zachránit lidský život. Téma crowdfundingu má velký potenciál. V odborné diskusi se lze setkat s knihami a rádci jako např. Scott Steinberg – The Crowdfunding Bible nebo Thomas Elliott Young – The Everything Guide to Crowdfunding. Tímto fenoménem se zabývají i diplomové práce, jmenovitě např. bakalářská práce Natálie Maliosové – Crowdfunding Nový fenomén fundraisingu, práce Ajaya Agrawala, Christiana Cataliniho a Aviho Goldfarba – Some Simple Economics of Crowdfunding nebo diplomová práce Etienna Maleca – Digital Marketing & Social Media in a crowd-funding campaign. Většina dostupných prací tento fenomén uchopuje převážně v kontextu finančním nebo marketingovém. Výjimečně se lze setkat s přesahem do geografického diskurzu nebo sociálních sítí. Bakalářská práce je založena na primárních zdrojích, jimiž jsou veškeré internetové stránky a platformy, které mají co do činění s crowdfundingovou kampaní Amandy Palmer. Konkrétně převážně analyzujeme platformy Kickstarter a Pateron, ke kterým se připojují i webové stránky zpěvačky. Při analýze aplikujeme znalosti z dalších zdrojů, kterými jsou výše uvedené knihy a odborné práce o crowdfundingu. 1 STATISTA.

Další poznatky čerpáme z kolektivní monografie Křičím: „To jsem já“ a Umění spolupráce od Jana Zálešáka. Uplatňujeme také poznatky z teorií interaktivních médií, konkrétně z From counterculture to cyberculture: Virtual community discourse and the dilemma of modernity Od Sorin Adama Mateie, Hackers, Heroes of the Computer Revolution od Stevena Levyho, New media history od Patrice Flichyho a také z textu Hypertext a kritická teorie George P. Landowa. Veškeré zdroje naleznete v seznamu internetových zdrojů a literatury. Pojmy, které jsou v bakalářské práci použity uvádíme zpravidla v angličtině nebo jako anglicismy, protože české překlady těchto pojmů se používají zřídka a často přesně nereflektují význam anglických termínů. V této práci se ovšem snažíme dokázat hypotézu, která říká, že se crowdfunding dá využít a chápat i v jiných rovinách, než jen jako prostředek pro výběr financí (fundraisingový nástroj). Tuto skutečnost se snažíme doložit na analýze crowdfundingu z pohledu vybraných diskurzů, konkrétně se jedná o tyto kontexty: komunita, participativní umění, marketing, financování a nová média. Do práce začleňujeme i diskurzy, se kterými již odborná veřejnost pracuje, snažíme se v nich najít nové poznatky nebo problematické momenty crowdfundingu. Nicméně každý crowdfundingový projekt je unikátní. Crowdfunding může sloužit pro umělce, technologické startupy nebo jako prostředek charity. Kvůli této pestrosti nelze kampaně unifikovat. Z tohoto důvodu jsme pro lepší uchopení tématu zvolili cestu, kterou lze označit za případovou studii. Crowdfundingovou kampaň zde v této práci nechápeme zcela konvenčně jako jeden časově orámovaný proces, ale jako souvislou sérii menších projektů, které zvolená umělkyně, Amanda Palmer vytváří od rané fáze kariéry. V různých podobách ji crowdfunding provází dodnes. Kampaň této umělkyně

Female artists, social media and alternative economy: the case of Amanda Palmer Beatriz Medeiros165 and Beatriz Polivanov166 Abstract In this paper we seek to investigate the strategies that the independent artist Amanda Palmer uses in order to gain visibility and financial capital to promote her music. Our theoretical background is mainly related to the process of self- presentation in social media, along with Bourdieu’s (2013) notion of symbolic capital. Based on the analysis of posts made by the artist on social network sites, such as Twitter and Instagram, apart from her blog and book / memoir (Palmer, 2014), we argue that her approaches for getting the audience engaged with her pledges can be gathered in three axes: a) public exposure of intimacy; b) negotiations of asking and c) advertising her crowdfunding projects.

    The Tim Ferriss Show Transcripts Episode 67: Amanda Palmer Show notes and links at tim.blog/podcast Tim Ferriss: All right. So I'm gonna click "record," and then we're just gonna take a couple of seconds of silence, and then we'll jump right into it. Hello, boys and girls. This is Tim Ferriss, and welcome to another episode of the Tim Ferriss Show where I deconstruct world-class performers, whether they be billionaire hedge-fund managers, early-stage investors, like Peter Thiel, or celebrities, Arnold Schwarzenegger, musicians, chess prodigies, and so on. They have commonalities, and they do have tools and tricks and routines that you can use. This episode, I am interviewing Amanda Palmer, who is a musician, but also a social media virtuoso and innovator as a musician, from the standpoint of both music and business models. Some of you, I'm sure, have seen her hit TED presentation, "The Art of Asking," which has been viewed more than six million times. But her story goes much, much deeper, and we will plumb the depths. We will talk about, of course, perhaps the Dresden Dolls where she first rose to prominence as one-half of that acclaimed punk cabaret duo, then the journey from solo album to leaving her record label altogether and experimenting with things like Kickstarter. She made international news in 2012 when she raised nearly $1.2 million preselling her new album, "Theatre is Evil," which went on to debut in the Billboard Top 10. It's one hell of a story.

  • Amanda Palmer and the #LOFNOTC: How Online Fan Participation Is Rewriting Music Labels
    . Volume 9, Issue 2 November 2012 Amanda Palmer and the #LOFNOTC: How online fan participation is rewriting music labels Liza Potts, Michigan State University, USA Summary Recent events in digital culture are changing the ways in which artists and fans are able to interact. By resisting traditional labels as a musician and performer, Amanda Palmer has set out to redefine the ways in which artists and their audiences connect. Through her early work as a street performer, Palmer understood the need for a bond between artist and audience. With an ability to embrace participatory culture, in her live performances, blog, and Twitter stream, Palmer’s actions are unconventional and often provocative. In this article, I trace these interactions, arguing that Palmer and her participatory fans are rewriting traditional norms about recording artists and their audiences. Keywords: Participation, fans, music, recording industry, social media, Amanda Palmer, Neil Gaiman. Introduction In her 2010 blog post entitled ‘Why I am Not Afraid to Take Your Money,’ musician Amanda Palmer called for a radical move away from traditional recording industry strategies for production and distribution. In Palmer’s manifesto, she describes how artists will be bypassing their labels and going to their audience: ‘coming straight to you (yes, YOU, you who want their music, their films, their books) for their paychecks’ (2010). Rather than keeping them at arm’s length, Palmer works to include her fans in her work. Her fans have embraced this role, communicating with her through various online channels and participating in her work. Palmer’s recent success in raising over $1M on Kickstarter (Palmer, 2012a) is just one indication of how her fans are helping her reinvent funding models for artists.
