I focus here specifically on female fans of male solo singers, particularly to explore the way gendered fandom is presented when the women are older than the teenage female fans most often associated with male artists (Ehrenreich et al 1992; Din and Cullingford 2004). Hodkinson notes that participation in music subcultures has often been 'regarded as a temporary accompaniment to the broader experience of being adolescent' (2011: 262) and Cavicchi argues that: The obsessive activities of fandom - collecting artifacts and photographs, imitating a star's dress and manners, camping overnight for concert tickets, creating fanzines, joining fan clubs - are accepted only as the temporary behaviour of hormone-driven (usually female) teenagers, who, when reaching adulthood, are expected to settle into the more mature behavior of work or motherhood (1998: 6) Yet, it is becoming clear that music fandom is no longer the sole preserve of the young.

  • A Global Industry
    CHAPTER •••• 1 A global industry Introduction The conference industry is a young, dynamic industry which is growing and maturing at a rapid rate. From origins in Europe and North America, it is now a truly international industry witnessing huge investments across all continents. Its youthfulness, however, does mean that it lacks some of the necessary characteristics of more established industries, such as well defined terminology, adequate market intelligence, appropriate education and training structures and clear entry routes. Conferences are part of the business tourism (or business events) sector, a major though often under-valued sector of the wider tourism industry. This chapter looks at: • the origins of the conference industry • the foundations of a proper industry • the industry’s recent globalisation • world rankings of leading cities and countries • certain industry shortcomings • industry parameters and definitions • business tourism and leisure tourism • the benefits of conference and business tourism. It includes case studies on: • City of Melbourne, Australia • The Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre, London, England • Hyderabad International Convention Centre, India • Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates • Coral Beach Hotel and Resort, Paphos, Cyprus. Conferences and Conventions Learning outcomes On completion of this chapter, you should be able to: • Explain why and how the conference industry developed in the way it did • Understand the international dimensions of the industry and appreciate which are the most successful cities

    CONVERSATIONAL IMPLICATURE OF HUMOR IN MICHAEL MCINTYRE INTERVIEW ON JONATHAN ROSS SHOW A Thesis Submitted to Letters and Humanities Faculty in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Strata One Tamara Seprilia Ningtyas 11140260000061 ENGLISH LETTERS DEPARTMENT LETTERS AND HUMANITIES FACULTY STATE ISLAMIC UNIVERSITY SYARIF HIDAYATULLAH JAKARTA 2018 ABSTRACT Tamara Seprilianingtyas, Conversational Implicature of Humor in Michael Mcintyre Interview on Jonathan Ross Show. Thesis: English Letters Department, Letters and Humanity Faculty. State Islamic University Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta. 2018 This study analyzes the conversational implicatures that is generated by the maxim which appears on the conversation between Michael Mcintyre and Jonathan Ross in Jonathan Ross Show. The objective of the research is to know the process of flouting maxim in creating humor that appears through the conversation. This study uses Grice’s Conversatinal Implicature theory to analyze the implicature and the maxims. Moreover, it also uses Raskin’s theory of humor to identify the humor that has been applied in the utterances. The result indicates that both particularized conversational implicature and generalized conversational implicature are found in the conversation. The generalized conversational implicature and particularized conversational implicature generated by flouting maxims based on the meaning that Michael implied in his utterance. He has been flouted the four maxims which are maxim of quantity, maxim of quality, maxim of relation and maxim of manner. He chiefly flouted maxim of quantity. Furthermore, the most Michael’s utterances indicate the incongruity theory and spontaneous conversational humor which have dominant role in creating humor. The spontaneous conversational humor is distinguished from certain basis of the intentions or use of humors such as satire, overstatement and understatement, self- deprecation, teasing, and clever or nonsensical replies to serious statements.
