Addiction memoirs often illustrate this same definition of insanity…Yet the genre itself remains so addictive that readers keep hoping to discover something new.” Why are addiction memoirs so addictive?

  • Strategic Intertextuality in Three of John Lennonâ•Žs Late Beatles Songs
    STRATEGIC INTERTEXTUALITY IN THREE OF JOHN LENNON’S LATE BEATLES SONGS* MARK SPICER his article will focus on an aspect of the Beatles’ compositional practice that I believe T merits further attention, one that helps to define their late style (that is, from the ground- breaking album Revolver [1966] onwards) and which has had a profound influence on all subsequent composers of popular music: namely, their method of drawing on the resources of pre-existing music (or lyrics, or both) when writing and recording new songs. This may at first seem entirely obvious, especially since nowadays such a practice has been adopted routinely by many songwriters and producers, and is in fact the prevailing compositional strategy within certain pop and rock genres, rap being probably the most blatant example. Many rap artists are well known for their so-called “rap versions,” as Tim Hughes has described them, in which a distinctive element of a pre-existing song is lifted out of its original context—typically via digital sampling—and used as the foundation upon which a new song is built.1 Will Smith’s hit “Wild Wild West” (1999), for example, is composed around a sample of the bass-driven main groove from Stevie Wonder’s funk classic “I Wish” (1976); and Eminem’s hit “Like Toy Soldiers” * This essay is based in part on the first chapter of my dissertation, “British Pop-Rock Music in the Post-Beatles Era” (Ph.D. dissertation, Yale University, 2001). An earlier version was presented at the annual meeting of the Society for Music Theory, Columbus, in November 2002.

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.

CARNIFAX has been approved for the E.W. Scripps School of Journalism and the Scripps College of Communication by Michael S. Sweeney Professor of Journalism Scott Titsworth Interim Dean, Scripps College of Communication ii ABSTRACT CARNIFAX, ASHLEY C., M.S., August 2011, Journalism Candid Conversations: Behind the Scenes of the Playboy Interview, 1962-2011 Director of Thesis: Michael S. Sweeney This paper uses content analysis, historical research and interviews with journalists to examine the subjects of the Playboy Interview and the interview’s role in shaping journalism and popular culture. The content analysis of 569 Playboy Interviews showed that the majority of interview subjects were white males, and that the television and film industry was the most represented profession. Interviews with Playboy editors and writers were used to explain the process of selecting these subjects, as well as to determine which interviews were most memorable to those who wrote and edited them. Finally, historical analysis showed that the early interviews were not acknowledged by popular media, but rather, were written about decades after they took place. Since then, interviews with political figures, such as Jimmy Carter and Jesse Ventura, have been written about more frequently by newspapers and magazines.

  • Introduction
    IN FOCUS: Moving Between Platforms Film, Television, Gaming, and Convergence Introduction edited by JONATHAN GRAY ame studies has long been historically marginalized within me- dia studies. Yet in light of the gaming industry’s huge leaps for- ward in design quality, and, more importantly, the economic and G textual convergences of fi lm and television with gaming, it is in- creasingly imperative that media scholars pay close attention to games. Many fi lms and television programs include a game as part of their text, a growing number of storytellers are thinking and creating across media, and many media corporations are trying their best to expand revenues by wedding gaming with fi lm and television. This In Focus is about this process of convergence. Convergence has inspired considerable excitement both from pro- ducers who see the potential for a revolution in storytelling methods and scope and from audiences seeking to renegotiate their relationship with the media industries. Convergence has also been cause for con- siderable concern for those who see the potential for the media indus- tries to capitalize on it, thwarting competition and rewriting laws and business models to gain yet more control over the audience-consumer. These combined hopes and worries for convergence illustrate one of its key qualities: convergence produces more than just the sum of its parts. Convergence is, to use a gaming metaphor, like that most clichéd move of videogames, the “double jump.” This action often comes when one’s avatar must leap from one moving platform to another. The player must wait until the perfect moment to perform not just a jump, but a “double jump,” wherein the avatar begins a new jump while at the peak of its fi rst jump.

Darüber hinaus zeigt sich aus dieser Perspektive, dass mit der medientechno- logisch bedingten Zitierfähigkeit von (hier: Körper-)Bildern grundsätzlich ein Moment von Enteignung einhergeht und in dieser Hinsicht Aneignungsbezie- hungen auch dann nicht per se als ‚unschuldig‘ gelten können, wenn sie sich einer Faszination verdanken. Es gibt also gute Gründe dafür, dass die Spiel- regeln nicht nur des game namens fame, sondern von medialen Aneignungs- praktiken generell nicht allein durch technologische Machbarkeit diktiert werden, sondern Gegenstand gesellschaftlicher Aushandlungen sind, bei de- nen man es (wie gegenwärtig etwa in der Debatte über das weite Feld der cultural appropriation) jeweils mit sehr spezifischen Gemengelagen zu tun hat. Beatriz Colomina The 24/7 Bed: Privacy and Publicity in the Age of Social Media How do we relate today when countless new technologies seem to structure every interaction? And what role does architecture play? What is the archi- tecture of ubiquitous connectivity? Private and public have become completely blurred. We can no longer think of distinct spaces for work, play, domesticity, and rest. We are living in a 24/7 culture. Networked electronic technologies have removed any limit to what can be done in bed. Millions of dispersed beds are taking over from concen- trated office buildings. The boudoir is defeating the tower. This text explores the role of the bed as the epicenter of labor, postlabor, and love in the age of social media. When John Lennon and Yoko Ono married secretly in Gibraltar on March 20, 1969, the ceremony lasted only three minutes.
