This Fall, we are excited to introduce a new digital element into Prisms. This issue features QR codes for a select number of poetry and prose pieces, which will allow you to hear an audio recording of an author reading his or her work. The QR codes appear as large checkered squares next to three pieces in this issue of Prisms. If you download a free QR reader application on your smartphone, you can scan the code with your phone and it will bring you to a URL of the audio recording. 5 Read these words in a rhythm. by Alyssa McPherson this poem is a challenge to you to read these words in a rhythm. speak these words like they’ve got soul—let them saunter off your tongue in the sultry tunes of smooth jazz... and don’t be afraid to give them a little swagger. drop the stilted recitation, the monotone intonation, the robotic drone that comes buzzing out the mouths of the uninspired like bees are filling their cheeks. add some honey to these words. make ’em sweet, let ’em cascade through the ear canals in streams and creeks and rivers of gold. let ’em water these dry, barren fields and sink down into your roots, back to a time when your ancestors breathed ancient stories and exhaled songs into the sacred land in a language you used to understand. pull these words back to a time before pop stars copyrighted dollar signs and belted drunken vapid rhymes like they know what it means to have that magic flow. speak these words like a spell, let your voice be the wand that illuminates the dark side of these cratered minds, where neglected dreams and passions and childish hopes reside, hiding from the beasts that would rip them apart if you let ’em— so you better fill these words with the roar of the lion, fill these words with the howl of the wolf, 6 make the air quake and the nerves shake with wonder, let these words rumble up from inside you like the churning of thunder, let them part the clouds of your self-doubt and fill your voice with light. teach these words to sing the music of You, swell these syllables with the harmony of your past, your present, your future, and all those moments in between... because when you open your mouth, you can make dull eyes glisten, when you open your mouth, all the world will stop and listen if you read these words in a rhythm. Untitled by Nicole Andrzejewski 7 The Search by Charlotte Smith The wind pummels against my stiff spring coat, cracking my hair in the sky. His hooves cut into the untouched ground. The sound of dead grass being ripped. The trees stand crooked and black the world holds its breath as my horse and I trudge through its hollow stomach. The wind is in a frenzy. It searches for spring. My horse scrambles up a slope the sound grinds in my ears and the fallen rocks sink into a muddy pit. We are so alone. We arrive at a stream. It barely makes a sound. The water is so black, so cold. It moves slowly, swallowing all signs of life, slips into every crack and licks it clean. As we step around brambles, tangled and dry, his ears prick, alert and ready. Surprised. A lonely cluster

  • 2. Case Study: Anime Music Videos
    2. CASE STUDY: ANIME MUSIC VIDEOS Dana Milstein When on 1 August 1981 at 12:01 a.m. the Buggles’ ‘Video Killed the Radio Star’ aired as MTV’s first music video, its lyrics parodied the very media pre- senting it: ‘We can’t rewind, we’ve gone too far, . put the blame on VTR.’ Influenced by J. G. Ballard’s 1960 short story ‘The Sound Sweep’, Trevor Horn’s song voiced anxiety over the dystopian, artificial world developing as a result of modern technology. Ballard’s story described a world in which natu- rally audible sound, particularly song, is considered to be noise pollution; a sound sweep removes this acoustic noise on a daily basis while radios broad- cast a silent, rescored version of music using a richer, ultrasonic orchestra that subconsciously produces positive feelings in its listeners. Ballard was particu- larly criticising technology’s attempt to manipulate the human voice, by con- tending that the voice as a natural musical instrument can only be generated by ‘non-mechanical means which the neruophonic engineer could never hope, or bother, to duplicate’ (Ballard 2006: 150). Similarly, Horn professed anxiety over a world in which VTRs (video tape recorders) replace real-time radio music with simulacra of those performances. VTRs allowed networks to replay shows, to cater to different time zones, and to rerecord over material. Indeed, the first VTR broadcast occurred on 25 October 1956, when a recording of guest singer Dorothy Collins made the previous night was broadcast ‘live’ on the Jonathan Winters Show. The business of keeping audiences hooked 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, promoted the concept of quantity over quality: yes- terday’s information was irrelevant and could be permanently erased after serving its money-making purpose.

  • The Representation of the LGTBQ Community in MTV's the Real World
    Columbia College Chicago Digital Commons @ Columbia College Chicago Cultural Studies Capstone Papers Thesis & Capstone Collection 4-29-2019 “This is the True Story:” The Representation of the LGTBQ Community in MTV’s The Real World Morgan Rae Ohman Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalcommons.colum.edu/cultural_studies Part of the American Popular Culture Commons, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Studies Commons, and the Television Commons This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-No Derivative Works 4.0 License. “This is the True Story:” The Representation of the LGTBQ Community in MTV’s The Real World Morgan Rae Ohman Abstract In this project, Morgan Ohman seeks to explore the MTV reality show The Real World by analyzing several cast members of the show who identify as part of the LGBTQ community. MTV’s The Real World, a reality TV show that first aired in 1992, captures the lives of seven young people between the ages of 18-24 that are selected to live in a house together for several months. The show’s dramatic the opening title sequence, “what happens when people stop being polite and start getting real?” raises fundamental questions about the relationship of reality TV and the politics of representation, as well as about the relationship between the subjects represented in reality TV and its viewers and consumers. Ohman combines a critical narrative analysis with critical theories of representation and identity politics. In particular, she draws on queer theory and the work of cultural studies scholar Stuart Hall to examine The Real World show, highlighting how representation in the media has become a vital tool for viewers to help validate their subjectivity and subject- positions within the LGBTQ community.

The lyrics of thirty songs selected from the Decade-End Hot 100 Songs charts in the 2010s were analyzed using feminist theory, consisting of the aspects of objectification, inferiority, and gender stereotypes. Findings showed that fifteen song lyrics featured the objectification of women. In other words, women can be bought and sold and are generally perceived as objects for men’s desires, mostly in terms of sexual objects.

Lexikal etablering. En korpusundersökning av hur nya sammansättningar konventionaliseras och får sin betydelse. (Establishing Lexical Items. A Corpus Study of the Conventionalization of New Com- pounds and How They Get Their Meanings.) Acta Universitatis Stockholmi- ensis. Stockholm Studies in Scandinavian Philology. New Series 52. 255 pp. This corpus-based study deals with the process whereby new compounds become established as conventionalized lexical items in the Swedish language. Special attention is given to how their meanings develop during the early phases of usage. Strictly compositional accounts of their semantics are rejected. Nine recently conventionalized compounds have been investigated in detail. The main corpus consists of all citations of these com- pounds from two full-text databases consisting of newspapers and maga- zines. Together they cover almost all of the major newspapers and several other ones as well. In addition to these corpus data, a questionnaire was used where informants were asked to describe (what they thought was) the meaning of these compounds and also to indicate how sure they were about the conventional usage of these words. Furthermore, the Swedish Language Bank has been used, mainly to get frequency data which show what kinds of word formation patterns the component parts of the compounds usually take part in, and how strong these patterns are.
