Online and Offline Rock Music Networks: a Case Study on Liverpool, 2007-2009 Online and Offline Rock Music Networks: A case study on Liverpool, 2007-2009 Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor in Philosophy by Róza Emília Barna July 2011 Abstract This thesis explores the relationship between the online and offline presence and activity of contemporary indie rock bands in Liverpool. It addresses two main questions: firstly, how should the relationship of music, place, and social groups be described and understood in the age of the Internet; and secondly, what can research on local music making suggest about the relationship between online and offline worlds. These questions are addressed through ethnographic research conducted between 2007-2009. The research involved qualitative analysis of online content, discourse, and connections related to Liverpool indie bands and music events, as well as first-hand observation of offline events and interviews with musicians. On the basis of this, the thesis proposes two main arguments: Firstly, online presentation and interaction surrounding bands and events are closely connected to offline events, places, and personal relationships. Local music ‘scenes’ must therefore be understood as both online and offline, and their temporal and spatial (self-)positioning in online space can only be understood with reference to offline places and temporal dynamics. Secondly, the ‘network’ is a useful concept for describing and analysing the relationship of online and offline worlds. It is conceptualised in the thesis as the dynamic set of active, enacted, and negotiated connections among those participating in music making. This conceptualisation enables the description of the social world of participants in music making within a particular local environment, which at the same time branches out globally through the active collective online presence of these participants. The analysis of a band’s network structures enables the identification of both its individual characteristics and collective-oriented ties along such lines as genre and style, career stage and success, and aims and strategies. The network complements the notion of the ‘scene,’ which is defined by an expressed and represented coherence with regard to the aspects of genre aesthetics and ethics; locality; discursive participation and identification; and personal relationships. Moreover, the analysis shows that online technology has provided new means for music networks to function as cultural resource and form part of identities related to music making and place. 2 Table of contents Abstract ………………………………………………………………………………..………2 Acknowledgements ……………………………………………………………...…………….7 Introduction …………………………………………………………………………………...8 Chapter 1 Literature review and critical discussion………….……………………….16 1 Music, place, and genre ………………………...……………………………….17 ‘Scene’…………………………………………………….………………...……17 Music making and the city………………………………………………………..20 Local, translocal, and virtual……………………………………………………...24 Defining ‘indie’……………………………………………..…………………….27 2 Music, the Internet, and society ……………….………………………………..29 ‘Virtual communities’ and the online – offline dichotomy……………………….30 Online interaction………………………………………...……………………….33 Community as ‘me-centred’ network……………………………….……………39 Social networking sites………………………………...…………………………41 Conceptualising the Internet and society………………….……………...………42 -

  • Ringo Starr Actuarà Per Primera Vegada En Solitari a Barcelona Aquest Dimarts El Bateria De the Beatles Ho Farà En El Marc Del Guitar BCN 2018
    Cultura i Mitjans | Jordi Novell | Actualitzat el 25/06/2018 a les 12:12 Ringo Starr actuarà per primera vegada en solitari a Barcelona aquest dimarts El bateria de The Beatles ho farà en el marc del Guitar BCN 2018 Ringo Starr | Arxiu Ringo Starr El Liverpool de postguerra no devia ser el millor dels mons per a un nen malaltís com Richard 'Ritchie' Starkey. Malalt d'apendicitis i peritonitis, i fins i tot en coma durant dies, als tretze anys Starkey emmalaltia de tuberculosi. Ingressat durant prop d'un any en un hospital, per esperonar la seva capacitat motriu els metges li van improvisar un mall fet amb una bobina de cotó per colpejar els armaris del costat del seu llit. I d'aquí, a la banda de l'hospital? Amb una mica d'ajuda dels amics Possiblement una de les grans habilitats de Richard Starkey és ser al lloc adequat en el moment precís. Només així es pot entendre com una banda de skiffle de Liverpool que malviu a Hamburg tocant rock acceleradíssim en tuguris de mala mort amb un èxit notable decideix substituir el seu bateria titular. John Lennon, Paul McCartney i George Harrison prescideixen del monolític estil de Pete Best -un del centenar de persones denominades 'el cinquè beatle'- per sondejar el bateria de Rory Storm and the Hurricanes. Richard Starkey ja era conegut com Ringo Starr - pels enormes anells que lluïa als dits-, i havia de sentir els crits de "Pete forever! Ringo never!" i algun cop de puny que va forçar que Brian Epstein -denominat el cinqu? au va!- hagués de llogar un guardaespatlles.
