  • The Slow Death of Everett True: a Metacriticism
    The slow death of Everett True: A metacriticism Jeremy Thackray A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Creative Industries Faculty Queensland University of Technology 2016 1 Abstract This thesis problematises and investigates the role of the popular music critic in Web 2.0 environments. It does so through an act of metacriticism grounded in my experience as an internationally successful popular music critic for major print publications including NME, Rolling Stone, and Melody Maker. The reflective aspect of the metacriticism is triangulated through interviews with other notable music critics, through a dialectical approach to role definition grounded in the literature, and through the ongoing experiment of Collapse Board, a music blogging site I set up to experience the new environment from the “inside”. Popular music critics have customarily been seen as gatekeepers of ‘cool’ and arbiters of taste. The industrial structure of print allowed critics to earn a living from their craft. The print environment was defined by limited outlets and large readerships with limited access to information. In that environment popular music criticism helped mould the ways popular music was received, consumed, and contextualised. This project asks whether the same holds true in Web 2.0 environments in which audiences have access to the same sources of information through which critics formerly derived their knowledge, authority, and influence. The thesis concludes that there are four major roles of relevance to the critic in the new media environments: bespoke criticism, music critic as fan, music criticism as entertainment, and the music critic as ‘firestarter’.

    Bibliotek Adorno, Theodor W. 2002. Essays on Music, Berkely, Theodor W. Adorno (1903-1969), one of the principal figures associated with the LA, London: University of California Press. Frankfurt School, wrote extensively on culture, modernity, aesthetics, literature, and—more than any other subject—music. To this day, Adorno remains the single most influential contributor to the development of qualitative musical sociology which, together with his nuanced intertextual readings of musical works, gives him broad claim as a continuing force in the study of music. This long-awaited collection of twenty-seven essays represents the full range of Adorno's music writing. Nearly half of the essays appear in English for the first time; all of the essays are fully annotated; and the previously translated essays have been corrected and missing text restored, making this volume the definitive resource on Adorno's musical thought. Adorno, Theodor W. 2002. Philosophy of modern In this classic work, Adorno revolutionized music theory through an analysis of two music, New York/London: Continuum composers he saw as polar opposites, Arnold Schoenberg and Igor Stravinsky. Philosophy of Modern Music presents a profound study of key musical works of the twentieth century. But it is more than this because, as always with Adorno, a wide range of social and cultural questions are brought to bear on the analysis. In many ways, Philosophy of Modern Music is a product of Adorno's exile in the United States, where he wrote the book while National Socialism fell apart in his European homeland.

  • Trans Affects: Performance, Technology, and the Racialization of Femininity
    TRANS AFFECTS: PERFORMANCE, TECHNOLOGY, AND THE RACIALIZATION OF FEMININITY Ali Na A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Communication in the College of Arts & Sciences. Chapel Hill 2017 Approved by: Della Pollock Elizabeth Grosz Torin Monahan Karen Shimakawa Kumarini Silva © 2017 Ali Na ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Ali Na: Trans Affects: Performance, Technology, and the Racialization of Femininity (Under the direction of Della Pollock) Recognizing performance and technology as entangled modes of bodily expression, Trans Affects: Performance, Technology, and the Racialization of Femininity examines how Western tropes of Asian and Asian American femininity continue to shape differently sexed and gendered bodies. Drawing on Asian and Asian American artists in relation to U.S. contexts, this study enacts close readings of performances of hypersexuality, drag, and the trans body as they intersect with photography, Internet culture, multimedia installations, viral videos, biomedia, and emerging technologies. Specifically, the dissertation focuses on four contemporary artists: Laurel Nakadate, Ming Wong, Luo, and Yozmit. Employing “trans” as a theoretical lens to highlight affective capacities of art, I argue that “trans affects” in these performances resist the binary choice to either reject tropes or accept them as totalizing. The set of artists I explore do not engage in direct opposition to the stereotypes or tropes forwarded by processes of racialized femininity. Instead, they operate in more diffuse modes of affirmation, destabilization, confusion, and play, pointing to the possibilities that indeterminacy might offer politics and ethics.
