  • Strategic Intertextuality in Three of John Lennonâ•Žs Late Beatles Songs
    STRATEGIC INTERTEXTUALITY IN THREE OF JOHN LENNON’S LATE BEATLES SONGS* MARK SPICER his article will focus on an aspect of the Beatles’ compositional practice that I believe T merits further attention, one that helps to define their late style (that is, from the ground- breaking album Revolver [1966] onwards) and which has had a profound influence on all subsequent composers of popular music: namely, their method of drawing on the resources of pre-existing music (or lyrics, or both) when writing and recording new songs. This may at first seem entirely obvious, especially since nowadays such a practice has been adopted routinely by many songwriters and producers, and is in fact the prevailing compositional strategy within certain pop and rock genres, rap being probably the most blatant example. Many rap artists are well known for their so-called “rap versions,” as Tim Hughes has described them, in which a distinctive element of a pre-existing song is lifted out of its original context—typically via digital sampling—and used as the foundation upon which a new song is built.1 Will Smith’s hit “Wild Wild West” (1999), for example, is composed around a sample of the bass-driven main groove from Stevie Wonder’s funk classic “I Wish” (1976); and Eminem’s hit “Like Toy Soldiers” * This essay is based in part on the first chapter of my dissertation, “British Pop-Rock Music in the Post-Beatles Era” (Ph.D. dissertation, Yale University, 2001). An earlier version was presented at the annual meeting of the Society for Music Theory, Columbus, in November 2002.

  • PRESSEMITTEILUNG 15.04.2019 Kodaline Am 10. August in Frankfurt
    FKP Scorpio Konzertproduktionen GmbH Große Elbstr. 277 a ∙ 22767 Hamburg Tel. (040) 853 88 888 ∙ www.fkpscorpio.com PRESSEMITTEILUNG 15.04.2019 Kodaline am 10. August in Frankfurt Wenn Kodaline zu uns auf die Bühnen kommen, wird einem das Herz warm. Das Quartett aus Dublin schafft bei jedem Auftritt eine wunderbare Atmosphäre und nimmt ihre Fans mit wie kaum jemand anders. Egal ob die schnelleren Tracks relativ rockig daherkommen oder die ruhigen Balladen zum Träumen einladen, wobei bei Letzteren ja gerade die charakteristisch hohe Stimme von Sänger Steve Garrigan ganz aus sich herausgehen kann, oder ob die Band mit ihren tollen Coverversionen für Begeisterung sorgt: Kodaline hat das Publikum bei jeder Show voll im Griff. Das war auch im vergangenen Oktober so, als die Iren bei ihrer ausgedehnten Tour die Songs ihrer jüngsten Platte „Politics Of Living“ ebenso präsentierten, wie die Hits ihrer ersten beiden Alben. Zum Beispiel „Honest“, „The One“ und natürlich ihrer Durchbruch-Single „High Hopes“. Jetzt haben Kodaline bestätigt, dass sie im Sommer wiederkommen werden: Im Rahmen ihrer Festival-Tour durch Europa kommen sie, neben Leipzig und Dortmund, noch für eine weitere Show nach Frankfurt. 08.07.2019 Leipzig - Täubchenthal 09.07.2019 Dortmund - FZW 10.08.2019 Frankfurt – Batschkapp neu! Die Konzerte werden präsentiert von piranha, LangweileDich.net, MusikBlog.de und The-Pick.de.

Abstract Writing on The Beatles has multiplied and diversified to an astonishing extent over the past half century. The contribution of academics to this literature has until recently been modest in volume and impact. However, multidisciplinary scholarship is now producing new insights into such subjects as The Beatles’ reception and their creative and commercial collaborations. Far from there being ‘Nothing you can know that isn’t known’ about The Beatles, scholars have much to explain regarding the band’s value and meaning in the 1960s and beyond. Keywords: 1960s; The Beatles; historiography; popular music For almost as long as people have been writing about The Beatles, they have won- dered whether it was time to stop. Some commentators in the 1960s felt that devoting any attention to them served to inflate the subject out of all proportion.

  • Politics of the Highly Improbable: Anticipation, Catastrophe, Security
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by University of Minnesota Digital Conservancy POLITICS OF THE HIGHLY IMPROBABLE: ANTICIPATION, CATASTROPHE, SECURITY A Dissertation SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Garnet Kindervater IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Raymond D. Duvall & Joan C. Tronto [May 2018] © Garnet Kindervater, 2018 Acknowledgments A dissertation is, in the end, neither conclusion nor summation. As a piece of writing it signifies the finale to a period of study, offering a testament of one’s knowledge, but also an opening to another stage that, if carried about properly, only continues the work that one has engaged for many years already. Despite that this document represents years of thought and research, however broad its topic or deep its claims, it does not summarize an intellectual decade of a life any more than an intense conversation might. It cannot represent such breadth because as wide as its interest it only presents an infinitesimally small fraction of what was learned in that time, debated passionately, and thus meagerly illustrates only fragments of what was thought and said, let alone what had transpired. Yet it does express a life – or at least a period, a phase, or a moment of one’s life – in which other things ceded the foreground and the issues represented below took precedence. Such it the paradox of writing: One must limit with a certain degree of what can only be understood as intellectual violence what could be said in favor of what can be said.

  • The Cultural Politics of Health Magazine Reader Letters
    Looking after yourself: The cultural politics of health magazine reader letters Christy Elizabeth Newman A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy National Centre in HIV Social Research / School of Media and Communications University of New South Wales January 2004 Certificate of originality I hereby declare that this submission is my own work and to the best of my knowledge it contains no materials previously published or written by another person, nor material which to a substantial extent has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma at UNSW or any other educational institution, except where due acknowledgement is made in the thesis. Any contribution made to the research by others, with whom I have worked at UNSW or elsewhere, is explicitly acknowledged in the thesis. I also declare that the intellectual content of this thesis is the product of my own work, except to the extent that assistance from others in the project’s design and conception or in style, presentation and linguistic expression is acknowledged. __________________________________ i Abstract Health is an organising principle of contemporary neoliberal citizenship, particularly evident in the political rhetoric of individual responsibility articulated around the privatisation of public health and welfare systems. The popular culture of these political technologies is expressed via the discourses of self-help and self-care, exemplified by the commercial success of consumer health magazines, and the responsibilising strategies of public health interventions. This thesis investigates the contemporary function of health magazines by examining both the content and the context of reader letters published between 1997 and 2000 in six Sydney-based ‘commercial’ and ‘community’ publications, and incorporating interviews with magazine editors.
