  • David Foster Wallace on the Good Life
    10/31/2014Forthcoming in Freedom & Self: The Philosophy of David Foster Wallace 124 6 David Foster Wallace on the Good Life Nathan Ballantyne and Justin Tosi Dostoevsky wrote fiction about the stuff that’s really important. He wrote fiction about identity, moral value, death, will, sexual vs. spiritual love, greed, freedom, obsession, reason, faith, suicide. And he did it without ever reducing his characters to mouthpieces or his books to tracts. His concern was always what it is to be a human being—that is, how to be an actual person, someone whose life is informed by values and principles, instead of just an especially shrewd kind of self-preserving animal. —David Foster Wallace, “Joseph Frank’s Dostoevsky” David Foster Wallace thought that the point of writing fiction was to explore what it is to be a 1 human being. In this essay, we argue that his writings suggest a view about what philosophers would call the good life . Wallace’s perspective is subtle and worthy of attention. We’ll contrast what Wallace says with some popular positions from moral philosophy and contemporary culture. Wallace said much about ethical matters even though he didn’t write on them formally or systematically. How then shall we distill views from his writings? Our strategy is to present Wallace’s reactions, as found in his fiction and some essays, to three positions about the good life. We will ask what Wallace would make of those positions and thus try to triangulate his own view by reference to them. The first position we’ll explore is sometimes called ironism .

  • OH, PRETTY PARODY: CAMPBELL V. ACUFF-ROSE MUSIC, INC
    Volume 8, Number 1 Fall 1994 OH, PRETTY PARODY: CAMPBELL v. ACUFF-ROSE MUSIC, INC. Lisa M. Babiskin* INTRODUCTION For the second time ever, the Supreme Court addressed the affirmative defense of fair use to copyright infringement in the context of parody in Campbell v. Acuff-Rose Music, Inc. ~ The unanimous opinion found a parody rap version of Roy Orbison's song "Oh, Pretty Woman" by the group 2 Live Crew could be a fair use within the exceptions to the protections of the Copyright Act of 1976. 2 The fair use defense is an inconsistent and confusing area that has been called "the most trouble- some [issue] in the whole law of copyright. "3 The Campbell decision helps preserve the flexible, case-by-case analysis intended by Congress and recognizes the value of parody both as a form of social criticism and catalyst in literature. The decision affords wide latitude to parodists, emphasizing the irrelevance of the judge's personal view of whether the parody is offensive or distasteful. It is unclear whether future courts will interpret this holding to be limited to fair use of parody in the context of song, or whether they will construe it more broadly to confer substantial freedom to parodists of all media. It is also unclear what effect this decision will have on the music industry's practice of digital sampling. This article will review the historical background of fair use in the context of parody and the case law preceding the Supreme Court's decision. A detailed discussion of the lower courts' decisions will be followed by analysis of the Supreme Court's decision and its implications for the future.

  • Unpopular Culture and Explore Its Critical Possibilities and Ramifications from a Large Variety of Perspectives
    15 mm front 153 mm 8 mm 19,9 mm 8 mm front 153 mm 15 mm 15 mm TELEVISUAL CULTURE TELEVISUAL CULTURE This collection includes eighteen essays that introduce the concept of Lüthe and Pöhlmann (eds) unpopular culture and explore its critical possibilities and ramifications from a large variety of perspectives. Proposing a third term that operates beyond the dichotomy of high culture and mass culture and yet offers a fresh approach to both, these essays address a multitude of different topics that can all be classified as unpopular culture. From David Foster Wallace and Ernest Hemingway to Zane Grey, from Christian rock and country to clack cetal, from Steven Seagal to Genesis (Breyer) P-Orridge, from K-pop to The Real Housewives, from natural disasters to 9/11, from thesis hatements to professional sports, these essays find the unpopular across media and genres, and they analyze the politics and the aesthetics of an unpopular culture (and the unpopular in culture) that has not been duly recognized as such by the theories and methods of cultural studies. Martin Lüthe is an associate professor in North American Cultural Studies at the John F. Kennedy-Institute at Freie Universität Berlin. Unpopular Culture Sascha Pöhlmann is an associate professor in American Literary History at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität Munich. 240 mm Martin Lüthe and Sascha Pöhlmann (eds) Unpopular Culture ISBN: 978-90-8964-966-9 AUP.nl 9 789089 649669 15 mm Unpopular Culture Televisual Culture The ‘televisual’ names a media culture generally in which television’s multiple dimensions have shaped and continue to alter the coordinates through which we understand, theorize, intervene, and challenge contemporary media culture.

  • Roy Orbison by Dave Hoekstra May 10, 1987
    Roy Orbison By Dave Hoekstra May 10, 1987---- MALIBU, Calif. We were unsure about ingenues in the front row of the class and goals in the back seat of the car. But we were certain about Roy Orbison. The first time I contacted a case of the Orbies was upon the demise of my first relationship in junior high school. She implied it was over by taking a pair of pliers to a dime-store ring with a design of a knight in shining armor. I would sleep with the transistor radio under the pillow; that night WLS played "Only the Lonely." The message was clear. I was not alone. At the second annual induction dinner for the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame in January, Bruce Springsteen introduced Orbison by explaining, "In '74, just prior to going in the studio to make `Born To Run,' I was looking at Duane Eddy for his guitar sound and I was listening to a collection of Phil Spector records and I was listening to `Roy Orbison's All-Time Greatest Hits.' I'd lay in bed at night with just the lights of my stereo on and I'd hear `Crying,' `Love Hurts,' `Running Scared,' `Only the Lonely' and `It's Over' fillin' the room. "Some rock 'n' roll reinforces friendship and community, but for me, Roy's ballads were always best when you were alone and in the dark." I read that quote to Orbison during a recent conversation we had at his home here and asked him where he reached for a style that is isolated yet so personal.

  • Adventures in Film Music Redux Composer Profiles
    Adventures in Film Music Redux - Composer Profiles ADVENTURES IN FILM MUSIC REDUX COMPOSER PROFILES A. R. RAHMAN Elizabeth: The Golden Age A.R. Rahman, in full Allah Rakha Rahman, original name A.S. Dileep Kumar, (born January 6, 1966, Madras [now Chennai], India), Indian composer whose extensive body of work for film and stage earned him the nickname “the Mozart of Madras.” Rahman continued his work for the screen, scoring films for Bollywood and, increasingly, Hollywood. He contributed a song to the soundtrack of Spike Lee’s Inside Man (2006) and co- wrote the score for Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007). However, his true breakthrough to Western audiences came with Danny Boyle’s rags-to-riches saga Slumdog Millionaire (2008). Rahman’s score, which captured the frenzied pace of life in Mumbai’s underclass, dominated the awards circuit in 2009. He collected a British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) Award for best music as well as a Golden Globe and an Academy Award for best score. He also won the Academy Award for best song for “Jai Ho,” a Latin-infused dance track that accompanied the film’s closing Bollywood-style dance number. Rahman’s streak continued at the Grammy Awards in 2010, where he collected the prize for best soundtrack and “Jai Ho” was again honoured as best song appearing on a soundtrack. Rahman’s later notable scores included those for the films 127 Hours (2010)—for which he received another Academy Award nomination—and the Hindi-language movies Rockstar (2011), Raanjhanaa (2013), Highway (2014), and Beyond the Clouds (2017).
