  • Power, Death and the Value of the Body in Late Capitalism: Anohni's
    Sedlmayr: Power, Death and the Value of the Body in Late Capitalism 42 Power, Death and the Value of the Body in Late Capitalism: Anohni’s “Drone Bomb Me” GEROLD SEDLMAYR Technische Universität Dortmund, Germany Introduction Hopelessness The lead single of Anohni’s 2016 album , “Drone Bomb Me”, begins with a shocking imperative: the speaker demands that the addressee eliminate her by dropping 1 a bomb on her: “Explode my crystal guts / Lay my purple on the grass”. Surely, her forthright urge to die is eerie, unsettling. What is even more unsettling, though, is the fact that we are not given any explicit reasons which might help explain her motivation. Is she tired of living? If so, then she is willing to break one of the most potent taboos in our societies, namely the one forbidding suicide: suicide as an empty act, an act that is not simply meaningless within the larger order of things, but that in fact seems to threaten that larger order. Or may we categorise her death wish as self-sacrifice, the symbolic giving of life in order to ensure life? The question remains: why does she resist survival? In the following, Anohni’s song, as well as the video which accompanied its release, will be treated as symptomatic of the late-capitalist structure of feeling. Starting from Jean Baudrillard’s idea that power in contemporary consumer societies is based on the deferral of death, I will discuss how the aestheticized representation of postmodern drone warfare in “Drone Bomb Me” refers to, yet also extends, Michel Foucault’s analysis of modern disciplinary societies, particularly by reflecting on the status of the body and the value it can carry in late capitalism.

  • Manifestations of Transphobia in Computer-Mediated Communication… 103
    Studies in Polish Linguistics vol. 14, 2019, issue 3, pp. 101–123 doi:10.4467/23005920SPL.19.016.11081 www.ejournals.eu/SPL https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3481-1421 Jagiellonian University Magdalena Derecka Manifestations of Transphobia in Computer- Mediated Communication. A Case Study of Language Discrimination in English and Polish Internet-Mediated Discourse Abstract This article aims to investigate the linguistic means of transphobic discrimination observed on the Internet. The languages analysed are English and Polish, since they both offer their speakers direct and indirect ways that discrimination manifests itself, yet Polish seems to enable a more noticeable means because of the presence of grammatical gender in the lan- guage. The paper discusses twelve samples of Computer-Mediated Communication, using the methodological tools offered by Critical Discourse Analysis and Queer Theory. Based on the analysis of the samples, the article shows that even though transphobia lies mainly in lexical choices of the speaker, it is not always direct, i.e. visible in insults and attacks on a trans person, but is oftentimes indirect, i.e. visible in the incorrect use of personal pro- nouns in both English and Polish, or in the incorrect use of grammatical gender in Polish. Moreover, while transphobia visible in language is not always intended by the speaker, it can still be considered to be discriminatory. Keywords computer-mediated communication, discriminatory language, grammatical gender, social media, transphobia, transphobic language Streszczenie Artykuł ma na celu zbadanie środków językowych używanych w języku transfobicznym zaobserwowanym w internecie. Analizie poddane zostały języki angielski i polski, po- nieważ obydwa umożliwiają ich użytkownikom bezpośrednie i pośrednie sposoby dys- kryminowania na tle transfobicznym, język polski zdaje się jednak umożliwiać bardziej zauważalny sposób ze względu na obecny w nim rodzaj gramatyczny.

During the first half of the 1990s, pop music vastly outnumbered underground/experimental music. It was the revenge of melody, after a quarter of a century of progressive sounds. A cycle that began with the demise of the Beatles and the rise of alternative/progressive rock, and that continued with the German and Canterbury schools of the 1970s, and then punk-rock and the new wave, and peaked with the alt-rock and college- pop of the 1980s, came to an abrupt, grinding halt in the 1990s. The more fashionable and rewarding route was, however, the one that coasted the baroque pop of latter-day Beach Boys, Van Dyke Parks, Big Star and XTC, the one that coupled catchy refrains and lush arrangements. The single most important school may have been San Francisco's, which had originated in the 1980s with the Sneetches. Jellyfish (2), featuring guitarist Jason Falkner, wrote perhaps the most impeccable melodies of the time. Bellybutton (1990), a milestone of naive, bubblegum melodic music inspired by Merseybeat and later Beach Boys, was both cartoonish and shimmering, while the arrangements on Spilt Milk (1993) were almost baroque.
