Running head: SEXISM ACROSS MUSICAL GENRES 1 Sexism Across Musical Genres: A Comparison Sarah E. Neff Western Michigan University SEXISM ACROSS MUSICAL GENRES 2 Abstract Music is a part of daily life for most people, leading the messages within music to permeate people’s consciousness. This is concerning when the messages in music follow discriminatory themes such as sexism or racism. Sexism in music is becoming well documented, but some genres are scrutinized more heavily than others. Rap and hip-hop get much more attention in popular media for being sexist than do genres such as country and rock. My goal was to show whether or not genres such as country and rock are as sexist as rap and hip-hop. In this project, I analyze the top ten songs of 2013 from six genres looking for five themes of sexism. The six genres used are rap, hip-hop, country, rock, alternative, and dance.

The lineup consisted of six all-women punk and new wave bands (the Nixe, the Pin-offs, Pink Plastic & Panties,i the Removers, the Softies and the Broads) playing for a mixed gender audience. Similar to the Ladyfests two decades later, the main goal was to counteract the gender disparity of musical production (Aragon 77; Leonard, Gender 169). The organizers argued that: popular music is a men’s world as most music managers, industry executives and band members are male. Women are mainly relegated to the roles of singer or eye candy. However, women’s emancipation has also affected popular music as demonstrated by an increasing number of all-women bands playing excellent music. To showcase and support such bands we organized the Rock tegen de Rollen festival.

  • Plunderphonics – Plagiarismus in Der Musik
    Plagiat und Fälschung in der Kunst 1 PLUNDERPHONICS – PLAGIARISMUS IN DER MUSIK PLUNDERPHONICS – PLAGIARISMUS IN DER MUSIK Durch die Erfindung der Notenschrift wurde Musik versprachlicht und damit deren Beschreibung mittelbar. Tonträger erlaubten es, Interpretationen, also Deutungen dieser sprachlichen Beschreibung festzuhalten und zu reproduzieren. Mit der zunehmenden Digitalisierung der Informationen und somit der Musik eröffneten sich im 20. Jahrhundert neue Möglichkeiten sowohl der Schaffung als auch des Konsums der Musik. Eine Ausprägung dieses neuen Schaffens bildet Plunderphonics, ein Genre das von der Reproduktion etablierter Musikstücke lebt. Diese Arbeit soll einen groben Überblick über das Genre, deren Ursprünge und Entwicklung sowie einigen Werken und thematisch angrenzenden Musik‐ und Kunstformen bieten. Es werden rechtliche Aspekte angeschnitten und der Versuch einer kulturphilosophischen Deutung unternommen. 1.) Plunderphonics und Soundcollage – Begriffe und Entstehung Der Begriff Plunderphonics wurde vom kanadischen Medienkünstler und Komponisten John Oswald geprägt und 1985 in einem bei der Wired Society Electro‐Acoustic Conference in Toronto vorgetragenen Essay zuerst verwendet [1]. Aus musikalischer Sicht stellt Plunderphonics hierbei eine aus Fragmenten von Werken anderer Künstler erstellte Soundcollage dar. Die Fragmente werden verfälscht, beispielsweise in veränderter Geschwindigkeit abgespielt und neu arrangiert. Hierbei entsteht ein Musikstück, deren Bausteine zwar Rückschlüsse auf das „Ursprungswerk“ erlauben, dessen Aussage aber dem „Original“ zuwiderläuft. Die Verwendung musikalischer Fragmente ist keine Errungenschaft Oswalds. Viele Musikstile bedienen sich der Wiederaufnahme bestehender Werke: Samples in populär‐ und elektronischer Musik, Riddims im Reggae, Mash‐Ups und Turntablism in der Hip‐Hop‐Kultur. Soundcollagen, also Musikstücke, die vermehrt Fragmente verwenden, waren mit dem Fortschritt in der Tontechnik möglich geworden und hielten Einzug in den Mainstream [HB2].

  • Joe Matheny, a Founding Father Culture Jammer, Was Kind Enough to Give What He Called His "Last Interview" Online to Escape
    9/11/2014 escape.htm Joe Matheny, a founding father Culture Jammer, was kind enough to give what he called his "last interview" online to Escape. Now happily working towards his pension in an anonymous programmer's job, Joe famously spammed the White House with a bunch of email frogs and caused uproar in American media society with his many japes. But why did it get all serious? And why are none of the original CJers talking to each other? What follows is the unedited version of the interview published in December 1997's Escape. All the hotlinks are Joe's. So who started Culture Jamming as a phenomenon, and why? Boy, that's a loaded question! No, really. It depends on who you ask. Personally I trace the roots of media pranking, or "culture jamming" as it's known these days, to people like Orson Welles and his famous "War of the Worlds" broadcast in America, or even his lesser known film "F is for Fake". More recently, a scientist by the name of Harold Garfinkle conducted something called breaching experiments, in which he studied the flexbility of peoples belief systems by fabricating stories and then guaging peoples reaction to them.He called this field of study Ethnomethodology and popularized it in his book Studies in Ethnomethodology. Garfinkle would incrementally make the his stories wilder and more speculative until the subjects would finally reach a point of disbelief. (in other words Garfinkle perpetrated lies, and then "pushed the envelope" with his subjects) In the 60s CJ was taken to a whole new level by two very differnet groups.

  • Writing About Comics
    NACAE National Association of Comics Art Educators English 100-v: Writing about Comics From the wild assertions of Unbreakable and the sudden popularity of films adapted from comics (not just Spider-Man or Daredevil, but Ghost World and From Hell), to the abrupt appearance of Dan Clowes and Art Spiegelman all over The New Yorker, interesting claims are now being made about the value of comics and comic books. Are they the visible articulation of some unconscious knowledge or desire -- No, probably not. Are they the new literature of the twenty-first century -- Possibly, possibly... This course offers a reading survey of the best comics of the past twenty years (sometimes called “graphic novels”), and supplies the skills for reading comics critically in terms not only of what they say (which is easy) but of how they say it (which takes some thinking). More importantly than the fact that comics will be touching off all of our conversations, however, this is a course in writing critically: in building an argument, in gathering and organizing literary evidence, and in capturing and retaining the reader's interest (and your own). Don't assume this will be easy, just because we're reading comics. We'll be working hard this semester, doing a lot of reading and plenty of writing. The good news is that it should all be interesting. The texts are all really good books, though you may find you don't like them all equally well. The essays, too, will be guided by your own interest in the texts, and by the end of the course you'll be exploring the unmapped territory of literary comics on your own, following your own nose.
