  • ADAM and the ANTS Adam and the Ants Were Formed in 1977 in London, England
    ADAM AND THE ANTS Adam and the Ants were formed in 1977 in London, England. They existed in two incarnations. One of which lasted from 1977 until 1982 known as The Ants. This was considered their Punk era. The second incarnation known as Adam and the Ants also featured Adam Ant on vocals, but the rest of the band changed quite frequently. This would mark their shift to new wave/post-punk. They would release ten studio albums and twenty-five singles. Their hits include Stand and Deliver, Antmusic, Antrap, Prince Charming, and Kings of the Wild Frontier. A large part of their identity was the uniform Adam Ant wore on stage that consisted of blue and gold material as well as his sophisticated and dramatic stage presence. Click the band name above. ECHO AND THE BUNNYMEN Formed in Liverpool, England in 1978 post-punk/new wave band Echo and the Bunnymen consisted of Ian McCulloch (vocals, guitar), Will Sergeant (guitar), Les Pattinson (bass), and Pete de Freitas (drums). They produced thirteen studio albums and thirty singles. Their debut album Crocodiles would make it to the top twenty list in the UK. Some of their hits include Killing Moon, Bring on the Dancing Horses, The Cutter, Rescue, Back of Love, and Lips Like Sugar. A very large part of their identity was silohuettes. Their music videos and album covers often included silohuettes of the band. They also have somewhat dark undertones to their music that are conveyed through the design. Click the band name above. THE CLASH Formed in London, England in 1976, The Clash were a punk rock group consisting of Joe Strummer (vocals, guitar), Mick Jones (vocals, guitar), Paul Simonon (bass), and Topper Headon (drums).

No entanto, a pesquisa concernente à tradução da música pop para fins de entendimento tem sido negligenciada. As diferentes mídias em que letras traduzidas podem ser encontradas no Brasil e os diversos perfis de seus tradutores proporcionam um campo de estudo ainda inexplorado. Esse artigo tem por objetivo estabelecer até que ponto as fontes de acesso às letras traduzidas domesticam ou estrangeirizam os aspectos culturais presentes nas letras do cantor Morrissey. Apesar de não baseado em técnicas acadêmicas, mas em aprendizado empírico, o trabalho coletivo dos fãs produz um texto final de boa qualidade. Palavras-chave: Tradução. Prática metodológica, Cultura.

One late winter weekend, Greg happened to drive by the Metro, a legendary Chicago music venue, and saw a line of kids that stretched down the block. What made the scene unusual wasn’t just the crowd—it was what they were waiting for: the marquee read, “Louder Than a Bomb Youth Poetry Slam Finals.” Teenagers, hundreds of them, of every shape, size, and color, lined up on a Saturday night to see poetry? In Chicago!? Whatever this thing is, it must be interesting. The more we saw, the more convinced we became that, in fact, it was. There was the LTAB community—a remarkable combination of democracy and meritocracy, where everyone’s voice is respected, but the kids all know who can really bring it. There were the performances themselves—bold, brave, and often searingly memorable. And there were the coaches, teachers, and parents, whose tireless support would become a quietly inspiring thread throughout the film.

  • Real-Time Encoding of Motion: Answerable Questions and Questionable Answers from the Fly’S Visual System
    From: Motion Vision - Computational, Neural, and Ecological Constraints Edited by Johannes M. Zanker and Jochen Zeil Springer Verlag, Berlin Heidelberg New York, 2001 Real-Time Encoding of Motion: Answerable Questions and Questionable Answers from the Fly’s Visual System Rob de Ruyter van Steveninck1, Alexander Borst2 and William Bialek1 1NEC Research Institute, Princeton, USA; 2ESPM-Division of Insect Biology, University of California at Berkeley, Berkeley, USA 1. Introduction Much of what we know about the neural processing of sensory information has been learned by studying the responses of single neurones to rather simplified stimuli. The ethologists, however, have argued that we can reveal the full richness of the nervous system only when we study the way in which the brain deals with the more complex stimuli that occur in nature. On the other hand it is possible that the processing of natural signals is decomposable into steps that can be understood from the analysis of simpler signals. But even then, to prove that this is the case one must do the experiment and use complex natural stimuli. In the past decade there has been renewed interest in moving beyond the simple sensory inputs that have been the workhorse of neurophysiology, and a key step in this program has been the development of more powerful tools for the analysis of neural responses to complex dynamic inputs. The motion sensitive neurones of the fly visual sys- tem have been an important testing ground for these ideas, and there have been several key results from this work: 1. The sequence of spikes from a motion sensitive neurone can be decoded to recover a continuous estimate of the dynamic velocity trajectory (Bialek et al.

  • The Spectral Voice and 9/11
    SILENCIO: THE SPECTRAL VOICE AND 9/11 Lloyd Isaac Vayo A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2010 Committee: Ellen Berry, Advisor Eileen C. Cherry Chandler Graduate Faculty Representative Cynthia Baron Don McQuarie © 2010 Lloyd Isaac Vayo All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Ellen Berry, Advisor “Silencio: The Spectral Voice and 9/11” intervenes in predominantly visual discourses of 9/11 to assert the essential nature of sound, particularly the recorded voices of the hijackers, to narratives of the event. The dissertation traces a personal journey through a selection of objects in an effort to seek a truth of the event. This truth challenges accepted narrativity, in which the U.S. is an innocent victim and the hijackers are pure evil, with extra-accepted narrativity, where the additional import of the hijacker’s voices expand and complicate existing accounts. In the first section, a trajectory is drawn from the visual to the aural, from the whole to the fragmentary, and from the professional to the amateur. The section starts with films focused on United Airlines Flight 93, The Flight That Fought Back, Flight 93, and United 93, continuing to a broader documentary about 9/11 and its context, National Geographic: Inside 9/11, and concluding with a look at two YouTube shorts portraying carjackings, “The Long Afternoon” and “Demon Ride.” Though the films and the documentary attempt to reattach the acousmatic hijacker voice to a visual referent as a means of stabilizing its meaning, that voice is not so easily fixed, and instead gains force with each iteration, exceeding the event and coming from the past to inhabit everyday scenarios like the carjackings.
