  • Black Voices, German Rebels: Acts of Masculinity in Postwar Popular Culture
    Black Voices, German Rebels: Acts of Masculinity in Postwar Popular Culture By Priscilla Dionne Layne A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in German and the Designated Emphasis in Film Studies in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Deniz Göktürk, Chair Professor Anton Kaes Professor Jocelyne Guilbault Spring 2011 Abstract Black Voices, German Rebels: Acts of Masculinity in Postwar Popular Culture by Priscilla Dionne Layne Doctor of Philosophy in German and the Designated Emphasis in Film Studies University of California, Berkeley Professor Deniz Göktürk, Chair This dissertation examines practices of embodying Black popular culture in Germany. My analysis is based on close readings of texts from a variety of media including novels, films and musical theater from West and East Germany of the 1950s to the reunified Germany of the 1990s. Black popular culture, particularly popular music, has appealed to Germans since the 19th century, when the Fisk Jubilee singers toured Europe. In most of my analyses, music plays a prominent role as a gateway to Black popular culture. Stuart Hall defines Black popular culture as a product of the African Diaspora, therefore it is produced in a space populated by people who are linked to many different geographic locales. Nevertheless, in the texts I examine, the African American contribution to this culture is given precedent. This preference for African American culture is based on an articulation of factors, including the large presence of African American GIs in occupied postwar Germany and German stereotypes that designate African Americans as both primitive and modern, oppressed victims yet also producers of incredibly different, liberating styles.

  • Richard Witts Manpool, the Musical: Harmony and Counterpoint on the Lancashire Plain. Richard Witts Is Reader in Music and Soun
    Richard Witts Manpool, the musical: harmony and counterpoint on the Lancashire Plain. Richard Witts is Reader in Music and Sound at Edge Hill University. He is the author of the biog- raphy of the German chanteuse Nico (1993, revised edition 2017), a study of the music of The Vel- vet Underground (2008), and a history of the Arts Council (1999). He has contributed many articles for journals, including recently The Musical Times (Summer 2015) and vol.7/3 of Popular Music History (2012). His contributions to BBC radio include the documentaries 1968 in America and The Technocrats where he discussed pop music with Stockhausen. Edge Hill University St. Helens Road Ormskirk, Lancashire L39 4QP [email protected] Abstract Since 2015 Liverpool has been designated a UNESCO ‘City of Music’. Not so its neighbour Manchester, which has nonetheless been hailed in the press as the ‘capital city of music’. They remain globally valued as two of the chief cities identified with the development of popular music in the second half of the twentieth century. As de-industrialised centres seeking new engines of growth, they have invested in these cultural reputations in order to attract for themselves tourists, university students, the conference trade and foreign business. Yet across the past decade numerous claims have been made in a range of journalistic outputs that Liverpool and Manchester are cultural rivals. These claims appear to be predicated principally on sport and music, key meeting points of commerce and leisure. There are certainly differences between the two conurbations – the industrial site of Man- chester grew at the interstices of three rivers while Liverpool evolved as an Atlantic port.

  • Encountering the Hidden Worlds of Musical Objects Adam Parkinson
    Encountering the Hidden Worlds of Musical Objects Adam Parkinson Submitted for qualification of Doctor of Philosophy (Music), School of Arts and Cultures / Culture Lab, Newcastle University, September 2011 Adam Parkinson Encountering the Hidden Worlds of Musical Objects Abstract This thesis articulates an approach to our musical interactions with sounds and technologies influenced by Object Oriented Philosophy and the thought of Gilles Deleuze. The research question is borne out of the practice itself and the questions it poses: how to make sense of my own relationship with sounds as a listener, improviser and composer, and how to understand my engagement with the technologies which mediate this relationship. The most prominent technology I encounter is the laptop, which throughout my practice is used as a musical instrument, and a large part of my research also involves the development of a sensor instrument which utilises the Apple iPhone. The research thus serves as an exploration of both the laptop-as-instrument and certain ‘post laptop’ possibilities, alongside the development of a framework within which to critically consider our relationships to these new instruments. Music involves multiple ‘objects’, a concept which includes (but is not limited to) sounds, songs, instruments, speakers, performers and listeners. Object Oriented Philosophy tells us that these objects are withdrawn: they possess ‘hidden worlds’ or reservoirs of potential that we do not exhaust through any one encounter. Sounds and instruments can be always be used in different ways and reveal different qualities through the networks they are placed in. Listening and playing are construed as being a challenge to find the hidden potentials and affordances in sounds, through changing the way we listen or recontextualising or reworking the sound itself: a range of different strategies for approaching sounds is discussed.
