  • The Impact of Class and Race on the Cultural Preferences of Youth in Cape Town and Belo Horizonte
    New Distinctions: The Impact of Class and Race on the Cultural Preferences of Youth in Cape Town and Belo Horizonte Jan Schenk Thesis Presented for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY University of Cape Town in the Department of Sociology UNIVERSITY OF CAPE TOWN February 2015 The copyright of this thesis vests in the author. No quotation from it or information derived from it is to be published without full acknowledgement of the source. The thesis is to be used for private study or non- commercial research purposes only. Published by the University of Cape Town (UCT) in terms of the non-exclusive license granted to UCT by the author. University of Cape Town Abstract Sociological treatments of the reproduction of social inequality in South Africa largely focus on its historical, political and economical aspects while references to popular culture are commonly used to describe differences, often in combination with racial discourse, rather than explain them. As a result much of South African cultural sociology, especially with regards to youth cul- ture, is entailed in in-depth ethnographic descriptions of particular subcultures. Less common is scholarly work dealing with the role of taste and cultural preferences in the reconfiguration of common perceptions of ‘otherness’, both in class and race terms. This dissertation shifts the focus towards the structural aspects of popular culture and, particu- larly, youth culture. First, inspired by Bourdieu’s work on distinction, it explores the segregating potential of contemporary youth culture in South Africa, especially where class and race con- notations meet. It then follows this thread of adapting Bourdieu’s work to contemporary South African youth by identifying the media as a crucial factor alongside family and school for the pre- servation of racialised class characteristics.

  • From Place to Placelessness: Malawian Musicians, Commercial Music, and Social Worlds in Southern Africa by Richard Michael Deja
    FROM PLACE TO PLACELESSNESS: MALAWIAN MUSICIANS, COMMERCIAL MUSIC, AND SOCIAL WORLDS IN SOUTHERN AFRICA BY RICHARD MICHAEL DEJA DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Musicology in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2016 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Donna Buchanan, Chair Professor Emeritus Thomas Turino, Director of Research Associate Professor Gabriel Solis Associate Professor Teresa Barnes ABSTRACT This dissertation examines how social belonging and community ties among Malawians and other individuals in southern Africa articulate with multiple geographic and social scales. As an ethnographic study focusing on musicians, this work demonstrates how musical sounds and practices are integrated into the construction of individual and group subjectivities. Using musical practices as tangible references to various social worlds among specific individuals, this study illustrates the complex multiplicity of Malawian subjectivities and identities. In conjunction with a substantial literature, this study is also intended as a corrective to social analyses that are overly binary in scope: global-local, African-Western, Cosmopolitan-non- Cosmopolitan, modern-traditional. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am grateful for the research support of the Fulbright-Hays Doctoral Dissertation Research Abroad fellowship and the Group Projects Abroad program.

The music of the Townships was created because of the presence of segregation during the time of segregation, and the musicians in the Townships created the music in response to the environment. The music of the Townships in South Africa began with the migrant laborers, who lived in area which were labor reserve and dormitories. These poorly built houses which the African occupants had to rent, were built by Apartheid for its lower classes Africans.

  • Nordic SAMSPEL Dyslexia As a Musical Problem Kai Karma
    Nordic SAMSPEL Dyslexia as a musical problem Kai Karma – [email protected] The Sibelius Academy, Finland: It has been long known that musical abilites and linguistic abilities are correlated. This is especially evident in language impairments, like dyslexia. Persons with low musical ability often also have problems in reading and writing, and musical exercises often help in training linguistic skills (Hanshumaker 1980). The closer nature of this relationship is not clear, however. This is so partly because both musical aptitude and dyslexia are unclear constructs as such and the mechanisms operating in them are partly unknown or not agreed upon. It is thus pertinent to first briefly describe both constructs to form a basis for later discussion. Musical aptitude Hardly any systematic and comprehensive theories about musical ability exist. Different writers emphasize different characteristics assumed to be parts of musical aptitude or perception; different tests and test items are constructed to measure the hypothesized aspects of the construct. The emphasis may be on the cognitive or on the emotional sides of musical perception as well as on more atomistic or holistic ways of hearing. The atomistic way of thinking concentrates on a person’s ability to hear the elemental characteristics of sound. This may lead, for instance, to tests where the abilities to hear small differences in pitch, intensity, duration and timbre are measured. The holistic approach stresses the importance of bigger wholes in music; these are often seen as essential from the point of view of the meaning or emotion in music. The atomistic approach often ignores the structural aspects of music while the holistic approach often uses subjective and culture-dependent structures, such as samples from the music of one culture.
