  • Shapes of a Girl : the Archetypal Embodiments of Bjork
    Shapes of a Girl: The Archetypal Embodiments of Bjork by Michael Lewis for Rick Tarnas Archetypes of Art & Culture December 12, 2005 “I’m a fountain of blood, in the shape of a girl.” -- Bjork The first time I really heard Bjork was a revelation to me indicating that something new could again be emerging on the frontier of modern music. Although I was already vaguely aware of the super-star musician Bjork for a number of years, I had barely paid much attention to perhaps nothing more than a few partial songs played over a radio-- until I finally heard the emotional power and creative genius of Bjork through listening to her song, “Bachellorette.” The song opens in a dramatically cinematic escalation of or- chestral strings, from which then the sheer power and boldness of her voice emerges like the natural calling of a hungry female chimera from a dense and thriving forest of sound, “I’m a fountain of blood, in the shape of a girl.” Her vocals then continue to un- ravel in an emotionally explosive poetic rhapsody, delivering a song of enigmatic pres- ence that ultimately climaxes and leaves the listener with a sense having been witness to an embodiment of the cosmic feminine force. Completely taken by the influence of this song on my mood and imagination, I soon found myself exploring the vast collection of Bjork’s musical artistry that spans more than seven albums over two decades. I came to recognize how Bjork, as a professional artist and radical alternative cultural icon, has sculpted not only a varied spectrum of styles and textures of artistic expres- sion, but has also continuously transformed and re-invented her self as a persona in the process.

  • Uma Perspectiva Musicológica Sobre a Formação Da Categoria Ciberpunk Na Música Para Audiovisuais – Entre 1982 E 2017
    Uma perspectiva musicológica sobre a formação da categoria ciberpunk na música para audiovisuais – entre 1982 e 2017 André Filipe Cecília Malhado Dissertação de Mestrado em Ciências Musicais Área de especialização em Musicologia Histórica Setembro de 2019 I Dissertação apresentada para cumprimento dos requisitos necessários à obtenção do grau de Mestre em Ciências Musicais – Área de especialização em Musicologia Histórica, realizada sob a orientação científica da Professora Doutora Paula Gomes Ribeiro. II Às duas mulheres da minha vida que permanecem no ciberespaço do meu pensamento: Sara e Maria de Lourdes E aos dois homens da minha vida com quem conecto no meu quotidiano: Joaquim e Ricardo III Agradecimentos Mesmo tratando-se de um estudo de musicologia histórica, é preciso destacar que o meu objecto, problemática, e uma componente muito substancial do método foram direccionados para a sociologia. Por essa razão, o tema desta dissertação só foi possível porque o fenómeno social da música ciberpunk resulta do esforço colectivo dos participantes dentro da cultura, e é para eles que direciono o meu primeiro grande agradecimento. Sinto-me grato a todos os fãs do ciberpunk por manterem viva esta cultura, e por construírem à qual também pertenço, e espero, enquanto aca-fã, ter sido capaz de fazer jus à sua importância e aos discursos dos seus intervenientes. Um enorme “obrigado” à Professora Paula Gomes Ribeiro pela sua orientação, e por me ter fornecido perspectivas, ideias, conselhos, contrapontos teóricos, ajuda na resolução de contradições, e pelos seus olhos de revisora-falcão que não deixam escapar nada! Como é evidente, o seu contributo ultrapassa em muito os meandros desta investigação, pois não posso esquecer tudo aquilo que me ensinou desde o primeiro ano da Licenciatura.
