Technofeminism
- TechnoFeminism JUDY WAJCMAN polity 2 Technoscience Reconfigured Men and things exchange properties and replace one another; this is what gives technological projects their full savour. Bruno Latour, Aramis Feminist approaches of the 1990s and today adopt an opti mistic perspective on the nature of digital technologies and their implications for women. In doing so, they present an image of new technology as radically distinct from older technologies and, as such, positive for women. In looking forward to what these new technologies may make possi ble, they elaborate a new feminist 'imaginary' different from the 'material reality' of the existing technological order. In this way, in common with other proponents of the impact of information and biotechnologies, they dis tinguish new technologies from more established ones, and downplay any continuities between them. While attributing a technological determinism to the past, paradoxically such approaches infer a new form of technological determinism, albeit one that predicts a future that advantages women over men. The consequences of this are explored in subsequent chapters. We shall see that Technoscience Reconfigured 33 if the social relations of older technologies are presented in too rigid a form, then the new technologies come to be seen as too open and malleable. If the former give rise to an immobilizing pessimism, the latter obviate the need for feminist technopolitics. Recent studies of science and tech nology have transformed our understanding of the social relations of technologies, both old and new. What I suggest in this chapter is that the social shaping, or constructivist, perspective offers the possibility of a fruitful interchange with feminism that can overcome the unsatisfactory dualisms with which much feminist analysis has been plagued. -

By the same token, we tear down the relics of the past in order to make way for the innovations of the future. As every rebirth requires reinvention, GODSMACK— Sully Erna [vocals, guitar], Tony Rombola [guitar], Robbie Merrill [bass], and Shannon Larkin [drums]–continue a similar cycle on their seventh full-length and debut for BMG, When Legends Rise. The multiplatinum four-time GRAMMY® Award-nominated Boston bastion of hard rock raises its voice louder than ever on their first album in four years. “You’ve got to burn it down to build it up,” affirms Erna. “When Legends Rise is a metaphor. Life can get challenging at times. It can knock you onto the ground. However, if you reach inside of yourself, find that inner strength, and rise up again, you’ll flourish. Over the past few years, I went through a really tough time, but I learned this firsthand. Coming out on the other side, we’re going to do this bigger and better than we ever have. We’re ready to work.” Truth is, the members of GODSMACK have never been afraid to put in the work… Like the city they call home, these musicians speak louder, fight harder, and grow stronger each day. Through an uncompromising attitude and uncanny knack for a hummable hook, they quietly became one of modern rock’s most reliable and resonant institutions. -

Innovators: Songwriters David Galenson NBER Working Paper No. 15511 November 2009 JEL No. N00 ABSTRACT Irving Berlin and Cole Porter were two of the great experimental songwriters of the Golden Era. They aimed to create songs that were clear and universal. Their ability to do this improved throughout much of their careers, as their skill in using language to create simple and poignant images improved with experience, and their greatest achievements came in their 40s and 50s. During the 1960s, Bob Dylan and the team of John Lennon and Paul McCartney created a conceptual revolution in popular music. Their goal was to express their own ideas and emotions in novel ways. Their creativity declined with age, as increasing experience produced habits of thought that destroyed their ability to formulate radical new departures from existing practices, so their most innovative contributions appeared early in their careers. -

The Wallflowers "Exit Wounds" Press Release
THE WALLFLOWERS RETURN WITH EXIT WOUNDS JULY 9th VIA NEW WEST RECORDS FIRST ALBUM IN NEARLY A DECADE PRODUCED BY BUTCH WALKER AND FEATURES SHELBY LYNNE PERFORM FIRST SINGLE “ROOTS AND WINGS” ON JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE! LAST NIGHT ANNOUNCE 53-DATE ARENA TOUR LAUNCHING JULY 16th The Wallflowers will release Exit Wounds on July 9th via New West Records. The 10-song set is their first album in nearly a decade and was produced by Butch Walker (Taylor Swift, Weezer). Exit Wounds was mixed by Chris Dugan (Green Day) and features the acclaimed singer-songwriter Shelby Lynne on four songs. While it’s been nearly a decade since we’ve heard from the group with whom Jakob Dylan first made his mark, he always knew they’d return. “The Wallflowers is much of my life’s work,” he says simply. The much-anticipated record finds the band’s signature sound — lean, potent and eminently entrancing — intact. The Wallflowers announced their return with a live performance of the first single “Roots and Wings” last night on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! See the performance HERE. For the past 30 years, The Wallflowers have stood as one of rock’s most dynamic and purposeful bands — a unit dedicated to and continually honing a sound that meshes timeless songwriting and storytelling with a hard-hitting and decidedly modern musical attack. That signature style has been present through the decades, baked into the grooves of smash hits like 1996’s Bringing Down the Horse as well as more recent and exploratory fare like 2012’s Glad All Over. -

V Plzni dne 23. dubna 2012 ……………………………. Jan Hartman ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I want to thank my supervisor, William Bradley Vice, Ph.D., for his assistance and support. ABSTRACT Hartman, Jan. University of West Bohemia. April, 2012. Protest in Songs of Bob Dylan from the 1960s. Supervisor: William Bradley Vice, Ph.D. This thesis deals with Bob Dylan's protest songs that can be found on his first seven albums from the years 1962 – 1966. Those years were the most important in Dylan's career – he composed his most famous songs and gained a status of a controversial yet ingenious songwriter. The thesis is divided into three chapters. The first chapter describes Dylan's musical beginnings and influence of Woody Guthrie and Jack Kerouac on Dylan's music. The second chapter deals with Dylan's folk singer career, when most of his protest songs were written. The songs are organised by their theme (militarism, racism, poverty and society) and analysed. Also, a brief introduction to each of the themes is included to provide the reader with context. The third chapter follows progress of Dylan's career, his transformation into a rock musician and his eventual cease of public appearances. There are basic biographical information in all three chapters and in introduction, that present the most important events of Dylan's life. -
