  • Jazz Collection: Björk
    Jazz Collection: Björk Samstag, 25. Juni 2015, 22.35 - 24.00 Uhr Erstausstrahlung: 17.11.2015 Die Isländerin Björk ist nach Joni Mitchell wohl die wichtigste und einflussreichste Songschreiberin der derzeitigen Popmusik. Ihre musikalische Spannbreite geht quer durch alle Stile, was auch heisst, dass Musikerinnen und Musiker fast aller Stile ihre Lieder covern. Auch Jazzer. Überraschende Melodien, ungewöhnliche Harmonien, - vor allem aber ein seltsamer Zauber, eine Atmosphäre die von den kahlen Landschaften und dem rauen Klima Islands genährt zu sein scheint, und die gleichwohl nicht kalt ist, sondern menschlich, warm, - weiblich vielleicht, so sind die Lieder von Björk. Wenn dann noch die zuweilen kryptischen Texte dazu kommen, ist für neugierige Jazzmusiker genug Inspiration da, sich in die Songs zu stürzen, und dabei oft Unerwartetes zutage zu fördern. Chris Wiesendanger, selbst einer dieser offenen Geister, ist unser Experte.

  • Björk Reaches Beyond the Binaries
    COMMUNICATOR BETWEEN WORLDS: BJÖRK REACHES BEYOND THE BINARIES Edwin F. Faulhaber A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS December 2008 Committee: Kimberly Coates, Advisor Robert Sloane ii ABSTRACT Kimberly Coates, Advisor Icelandic pop star Björk has spent her career breaking down boundaries, blurring lines, and complicating binaries between perceived opposites. Examining a variety of both primary and secondary sources, this study looks at the ways that Björk challenges the binary constructions of “high” and “low” art, nature and technology, and feminism and traditional femininity, and also proposes that her uniquely postmodern approach to blurring boundaries can be a model for a better society in general. This study contends that Björk serves as a symbol of what might be possible if humans stopped constructing boundaries between everything from musical styles to national borders, and as a model for how people can focus on their commonalities while still respecting the freedom of individual expression. This is particularly important in the United States of America, a place where despite its infinite potential for cultural pluralism and collaboration, there are as many (or more) divisions between people based upon race, class, gender, and religion as anywhere else in the world. iii Dedicated to Morgaine iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank my committee, Dr. Kim Coates and Rob Sloane, for all of their suggestions and encouragement while I wrote this thesis. I would also like to thank Dr. Don McQuarie and Gloria Enriquez Pizana for their support and assistance, as well as a host of wonderful professors who laid the groundwork for this thesis by inspiring me along the way: Rob, Kim, Drs.

  • Sampling Haraway, Hunting Bjork: Locating a Cyborg Subjectivity
    Sampling Haraway, Hunting Bjork: Locating a Cyborg Subjectivity Andrew Robbie Haraway's Cyborg in Context In the context of post-Marxist and poststructuralist thought, Donna Haraway's early writings are hardly distinctive in having a strained relationship with the binary opposition. In an article that recounts her difficult attempt to define "gender," Haraway claims that "the evidence is building of a need for a theory of 'difference' whose geometries, paradigms, and logics break out of binaries, dialectics, and nature/ culture models of any kind."l Her phrasing suggests the complexity of the problem: she does not claim either to know of or use such a theory, nor does she claim that her own writing does not continue to make productive use of various binary formulations when they suit her purposes. She seems to hint that even honest attempts at such a theory would likely be undermined by intransigent oppositions lurking in unsuspected corners of their meta-theoretical architecture. Yet the explosive fervor and potentially self-recriminatory nature of Haraway's proposition cast her as an honest theoretical adventurer who might be forgiven any dependence on an intellectual heritage that both defines the problem and must be effaced by its solution. It befits the image of Haraway-as-revolutionary to picture her improvising a massive mobile Many thanks to Chris Hasty and Alex Rehding for their comments on earlier versions of this paper. 1 Donna Haraway, Simians, Cyborgs and Women: The Reinvention of Nature (New York: Routledge, 1991), 129. repercussions 10 (2007): 57-95. 58 Robbie: Sampling Haraway, Hunting Bjijrk whose gravity might eventually render its moorings superfluous, unafraid of the contradictions that might arise along the way.

    A FUSION OF NATURE AND TECHNOLOGY?: ICELANDIC IDENTITY, ACTIVISM, AND THE ART OF BJÖRK by ELISSA DALY B.A., Wesleyan University, 1995 A thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Colorado in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy College of Music 2015 This thesis entitled: A Fusion of Nature and Technology?: Icelandic Identity and Activism in Björk's Music written by Elissa Daly has been approved for the College of Music Dr. Jay Keister Dr. Thomas L. Riis Date The final copy of this thesis has been examined by the signatories, and we Find that both the content and the form meet acceptable presentation standards Of scholarly work in the above mentioned discipline. Daly, Elissa (Ph.D., Musicology, College of Music) A Fusion of Nature and Technology?: Icelandic Identity, Activism, and the Art of Björk Thesis directed by Associate Professor Jay Keister This dissertation investigates the effects of massive industrialization, technological sophistication, and environmental problems in Iceland on the music of Björk, Iceland's most renowned living musician. In the seventy-year period since Icelanders gained independence from Denmark, their perception of themselves has changed from a fishing and farming community to an urban community preoccupied with technological development. I investigate the way this shift in Icelandic identity has been expressed through the art of Iceland's pop stars with a focus on Björk. In the last twenty years, during Björk's rise to fame, Iceland has become a contender in the global economy in the areas of technology and sustainable energy.

  • Version Imprimable Du Guide
    GUIDE DU MEILLEUR (de ce que je connais) à l'usage de mes élèves et des curieux version du 29/04/2014 "Je me moque de savoir beaucoup de choses, je veux savoir des choses que j'aime" Jules Renard, Journal (22 décembre 1893) Préambule à lire avant de parcourir ce guide, pour ne pas se tromper sur ses intentions... - Première remarque : le nom du site n'est pas à prendre au premier degré, car "meilleur" désigne non l'auteur du site, mais ce qu'il tente de proposer, c'est-à-dire le meilleur de la (sa) culture, avec toutes les réserves qu'on peut formuler à l'égard d'une telle tentative, et d'une telle prétention. "Guide culturel" aurait été moins ambigu, mais c'est déjà pris... Je suis ouvert à toute suggestion... - Deuxième remarque : ce guide s'adresse d'abord à mes élèves, présents, mais surtout passés, parce que ces derniers sont plus à même d'en tirer profit, grâce à un certain recul et une plus grande maturité apportés par les ans. Tant mieux si d'autres y trouvent de l'intérêt... Il n'est pas initialement destiné aux gens de longue expérience qui ont une culture déjà constituée, et qui ne verront probablement ici que l'occasion d'être d'accord ou pas avec mes choix, mais s'ils cherchent de quoi compléter leur propre culture, ou souhaitent m'aider à compléter la mienne, ils sont les bienvenus... - Troisième remarque : ce guide vise principalement à dire ce que je ne peux pas aborder ou développer en cours, à propos de culture et d'art, et non de philosophie.
