  • Masculinity in Emo Music a Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Arts and Social Science in Candi
    CARLETON UNIVERSITY FLUID BODIES: MASCULINITY IN EMO MUSIC A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF ARTS AND SOCIAL SCIENCE IN CANDIDACY FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC BY RYAN MACK OTTAWA, ONTARIO MAY 2014 ABSTRACT Emo is a genre of music that typically involves male performers, which evolved out of the punk and hardcore movements in Washington DC during the mid-80s. Scholarly literature on emo has explored its cultural and social contexts in relation to the “crisis” of masculinity—the challenging of the legitimacy of patriarchy through “alternative” forms of masculinity. This thesis builds upon this pioneering work but departs from its perpetuation of strict masculine binaries by conflating hegemonic and subordinate/alternative masculinities into a single subject position, which I call synergistic masculinity. In doing so, I use emo to explicate this vis-à-vis an intertextual analysis that explores the dominant themes in 1) lyrics; 2) the sites of vocal production (head, throat, chest) in conjunction with pitch and timbre; 3) the extensional and intensional intervallic relationships between notes and chords, and the use of dynamics in the musical syntax; 4) the use of public and private spaces, as well as the performative masculine body in music video. I posit that masculine emo performers dissolve these hierarchically organized masculinities, which allows for a deeper musical meaning and the extramusical signification of masculinity. Keywords: emo, synergistic masculinity, performativity, music video, masculinities, lyrics, vocal production, musical syntax, dynamics. ABSTRAIT Emo est un genre musical qui implique typiquement des musiciens de sexe masculine et qui est issu de movement punk et hardcore originaire de Washington DC durant les années 80.

  • The General As Statesman?
    CRANFIELD UNIVERSITY Richard B Lovelock The General as Statesman? Exploring the professional need for commanders to support viable political outcomes in peace and stability operations as typified by the UK military approach DEFENCE ACADEMY COLLEGE OF MANAGEMENT AND TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT OF APPLIED SCIENCE, SECURITY AND RESILIENCE PhD THESIS CRANFIELD UNIVERSITY DEFENCE ACADEMY COLLEGE OF MANAGEMENT AND TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT OF APPLIED SCIENCE, SECURITY AND RESILIENCE PhD THESIS Academic Year 2009-2010 Richard B Lovelock The General as Statesman? Exploring the professional need for commanders to support viable political outcomes in peace and stability operations as typified by the UK military approach Supervisor: Professor C D Bellamy August 2010 © Cranfield University 2010. All rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced without the written permission of the copyright owner i Abstract The problem of theatre level politico-military arrangements during peace and stability operations is important because the intervening actors, working in complex and often ambiguous circumstances, need to calibrate the application of military and political means as a coherent interdependent whole. This is necessary in order to build peace, secure viable political outcomes and hence strategic successes; however it is not easy in practice. This thesis examines the hypothesis that, beyond their security-related tasks, military commanders should provide direct support to civilian interlocutors in order to facilitate and sustain the local political process. This requires military co- operation with other relevant actors, responsiveness to political direction and the specific shaping of military operations to impact decisively on political outcomes. This work establishes that Western and United Nations doctrinal guidance extols political primacy and civil-military cooperation but does not fully explain the central importance of the political process, nor does it capture the potential peace building role of the military component.

Rhymes and Linkin Park recently collaborated on “We Made It,” the first single and video from Rhymes’ upcoming album, Blessed. By touring together, Linkin Park & Busta are taking a cue from the chorus of their song: “…we took it on the road…”. As recently pointed out in Rolling Stone’s “Summer Tour Guide,” the tour will see nine acts joining rock superstars Linkin Park, who are also offering concertgoers a digital souvenir pack that includes a recording of the band’s entire set. As the band’s co-lead vocalist Mike Shinoda told the magazine, “That puts extra pressure on us to make sure our set is different every night.” The fifth installation of Linkin Park’s raging road show will see them headlining an all-star bill that features former Soundgarden/Audioslave frontman Chris Cornell, electro-rockers The Bravery and Ashes Divide featuring Billy Howerdel, known for his work with A Perfect Circle.

  • International Affairs and the British Defence and Security Policy Debate: the Bibliometric Context
    International Affairs and the British defence and security policy debate: the bibliometric context ANDREW M. DORMAN AND MATTHEW R. H. UTTLEY Introduction With the notion of learning from the past in mind, this virtual issue contains 16 articles drawn from the International Affairs archive that provide insights into key aspects of British defence and security policy. This introductory article serves two purposes. First, it draws on the results of a quantitative bibliometric study to describe and assess the contribution that International Affairs has made to the postwar UK defence and security debate. In doing so, it demonstrates how the journal has been, and continues to be, the primary locus of scholarly academic debates and a hub for the dissemination of policy-relevant research on national defence and security issues. Second, it draws on the bibliometric study to explain the criteria for the selection of the subsequent articles, placing them within the context of the following five enduring debates: 1. Defence strategy and policy 2. Defence reviews 3. Civil–military–societal relations 4. Nuclear debate 5. The impact of outside ‘events’—Scottish independence referendum and Brexit The salience of International Affairs in the British defence and security debate Perhaps not surprisingly, during the first three decades afterInternational Affairs was founded in 1922 the editors placed their emphasis on publishing articles on international politics. However, during the early 1950s attention turned to British defence policy issues and, in the years that followed, the engagement of Interna- tional Affairs with this area of study has grown exponentially. A consequence is that the articles included in this virtual edition represent a fraction of the much larger body of scholarly contributions to British defence and security policy analysis and debate in the journal since the first decade after the Second World War.
