  • Aretha Franklin's Gendered Re-Authoring of Otis Redding's
    Popular Music (2014) Volume 33/2. © Cambridge University Press 2014, pp. 185–207 doi:10.1017/S0261143014000270 ‘Find out what it means to me’: Aretha Franklin’s gendered re-authoring of Otis Redding’s ‘Respect’ VICTORIA MALAWEY Music Department, Macalester College, 1600 Grand Avenue, Saint Paul, MN 55105, USA E-mail: [email protected] Abstract In her re-authoring of Otis Redding’s ‘Respect’, Aretha Franklin’s seminal 1967 recording features striking changes to melodic content, vocal delivery, lyrics and form. Musical analysis and transcription reveal Franklin’s re-authoring techniques, which relate to rhetorical strategies of motivated rewriting, talking texts and call-and-response introduced by Henry Louis Gates, Jr. The extent of her re-authoring grants her status as owner of the song and results in a new sonic experience that can be clearly related to the cultural work the song has performed over the past 45 years. Multiple social movements claimed Franklin’s ‘Respect’ as their anthem, and her version more generally functioned as a song of empower- ment for those who have been marginalised, resulting in the song’s complex relationship with feminism. Franklin’s ‘Respect’ speaks dialogically with Redding’s version as an answer song that gives agency to a female perspective speaking within the language of soul music, which appealed to many audiences. Introduction Although Otis Redding wrote and recorded ‘Respect’ in 1965, Aretha Franklin stakes a claim of ownership by re-authoring the song in her famous 1967 recording. Her version features striking changes to the melodic content, vocal delivery, lyrics and form.

Social Movement Leaders 1. Orienting Questions: • What social processes are involved in the emergence of leaders in social movements? • What social factors– all apart from personality and leadership style – affect the likelihood that one or another person is elevated to that position? • How do leaders gain legitimate authority in social movements once they attain that position? • Is leadership democratic, autocratic, charismatic? • What are the different types of functional roles that leaders fill? • Are their different levels of leadership, each with specific goals and spheres of influence? • How are differences in opinion over goals, tactics, and overall strategy – which invariably occur – managed? K. Social Movement Leaders 2. a. Leaders are critical to social movements, because they: • inspire commitment, • mobilize resources, • create and recognize opportunities, • devise strategies frame demands, and • influence outcomes. Any approach to leadership in social movements must examine the actions of leaders within structural contexts that both limit and facilitate opportunities, recognize the different levels of leadership, and understand the various functional roles filled by different types of movement leaders at different stages in movement development.

  • Examensarbete Kandidatnivå Musikproduktionsanalys Av Avicii’S Inspelningar
    Examensarbete kandidatnivå Musikproduktionsanalys av Avicii’s inspelningar Författare: Robin Granqvist Handledare: Sten Sundin Seminarieexaminator: Fil Dr David Thyrén Formell kursexaminator: Thomas Florén Ämne/huvudområde: Ljud- och musikproduktion Kurskod: LP2009 Poäng:15 hp Termin: HT2018 Examinationsdatum: 19-01-18 Vid Högskolan Dalarna finns möjlighet att publicera examensarbetet i fulltext i DiVA. Publiceringen sker open access, vilket innebär att arbetet blir fritt tillgängligt att läsa och ladda ned på nätet. Därmed ökar spridningen och synligheten av examensarbetet. Open access är på väg att bli norm för att sprida vetenskaplig information på nätet. Högskolan Dalarna rekommenderar såväl forskare som studenter att publicera sina arbeten open access. Jag/vi medger publicering i fulltext (fritt tillgänglig på nätet, open access): Ja Abstract Intresset för Avicii’s musik har under många år varit mycket stort över hela världen. Från att ha börjat som en ”bedroom producer” till att spela sin musik på scener världen över har han blivit en legend inom den elektroniska dansmusiken. Men vilka byggstenar och tekniker använder han sig av? Syftet med denna uppsats är att ta reda på hörbara kännetecken i Avicii’s musik och få en bättre förståelse för hur en framgångsrik producent skapar och bygger upp sin musik, både musikaliskt och produktionsmässigt. Avicii’s produktioner är speciellt intressanta eftersom de tenderar att innehålla både elektroniska och akustiska element. I undersökningen används musikanalys som metod där fyra av hans produktioner har analyserats med hjälp av bl.a. ljudhändelse- beskrivningar och detaljerade analyser av olika musikaliska och produktionstekniska egenskaper. Detta har gett ett resultat som visar på att det finns flera likheter mellan de olika produktionerna i bl.a.

  • Ruth Frankel Professor Swedberg CAS WS214 May 2, 2013 Carole
    Ruth Frankel Professor Swedberg CAS WS214 May 2, 2013 Carole King: A Consequential Female Artist in Achievement and Message Carole King, a Brooklyn born singer­songwriter, most associated with the music of the 1960s and 1970s, is significant in that she, according to her biographer James Perone, “almost single­handedly opened the doors of popular music songwriting to women” (1). She also became the first female artist in American popular music in complete control of her own work. Her writing was prolific. She has written 500 copyrighted songs throughout her career and has had tremendous commercial success (Havranek 236). King’s greatest success was the release of the 1973 album Tapestry, which remained on the charts for 302 weeks (Perone 6). Though her cultural impact is often underappreciated, Carole King has been an important contributor to advancement of women in the music industry and a positive role model to the female audiences of her generation. It is even hard to find academic sources reflecting the success and cultural attributions of King. Overall, it appears that sexism has faded the memory of Carole King’s contribution to women in music. Again and again, King impact has not been recognized or remembered. For example, in the book Go, Girl, Go!: The Women’s Revolution in Music by James Dickerson, King’s name is mentioned only once. Dickerson writes, “Carly Simon and Carole King were the two most successful singer­songwriters of the decade, and of the two, it was Carly who was dazzling the world with her toothy smile and sexy album covers” (77).
