The French Revolution Was a Period of Far-Reaching Social and Political Upheaval in France and Its Colonies That Lasted from 1789 Until 1799 The French Revolution was a period of far-reaching social and political upheaval in France and its colonies that lasted from 1789 until 1799. It was partially carried forward by Napoleon during the later expansion of the French Empire. The Revolution overthrew the monarchy, established a republic, catalyzed violent periods of political turmoil, and finally culminated in a dictatorship under Napoleon who brought many of its principles to areas he conquered in Western Europe and beyond. Inspired by Read the full-text online edition of The French Exiles, 1789-1815 (1961). Yet, by 1789, as the Parisians must have known well, it no longer served its original purpose and plans for its demolition had been made by the Government. The fortuitous destruction on July 14th was not of an instrument but of a symbol of tyranny. The storming of the Bastille in Paris, which had been preceded by local jacqueries, encouraged the mob all over France to renew its savagery on the objects or individuals which it found accessible, and the peasantry succeeded in surpassing in brutality the more sophisticated Parisians. The story of Napoleon and the French Revolution defines the man who would rise to power as one of the most influential leaders of the 19th century. When the French Revolution came, Napoleon was ready. He got as much military leave time as he could get, and he plunged into revolutionary politics in Corsica⦠Bonaparte at the Pont dâ™Arcole (Detail) , by Baron Antoine-Jean Gros, ca. 1801. Young Napoleon â“ The Corsican Experience. Bonaparte was optimistic about bringing French revolutionary politics to Corsica. We see him there handing out cockades, and he helped found a political club. Madame de Genlis was a popular and prolific writer of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Her works were widely read throughout Europe, as well as in her native France. As governor to the children of the Orléans branch of the royal family â“ a rare position for a woman â“ Madame de Genlis became known for her innovative approach to education. After losing her husband and fortune in the French Revolution, Madame de Genlis turned to Napoleon Bonaparte for support. II, edited by Napoleon Joseph de Méneval (New York, 1894), pp. 436- 437.

  • An Assessment of Psychoacoustical Models in The
    Abstract A simple system for recognizing music is presented, based on various musical descriptors, num- bers that describe some aspect of the music. Various descriptors are discussed; in particular, a novel descriptor, the floor-1 cepstral coefficient (F1CC) measure, a refinement of MFCCs based on the Vorbis psychoacoustical model is presented and evaluated. Also, various forms of statistical dimensionality reduction, among them PCA and LDA, are considered in the present context. Finally, a few directions for future work are discussed. vii viii Acknowledgments First of all, I would like to thank my advisor Jan Tro, who patiently provided feedback and guidance over the course of the entire semester. However, several other people have played important roles: Greg Maxwell originally proposed the idea that eventually led to the develop- ment of F1CCs, and Chris Montgomery provided helpful guidance on the internals of the Vorbis encoder. Mette Langaas helped with various insights on statistics, in particular dimensionality reduction. H˚avard Midtkil provided his entire music collection in FLAC format as data mate- rial, saving countless hours of ripping labor. Finally, Rune Holm and Magne Mæhre proofread the manuscript at various stages, providing invaluable feedback, corrections and suggestions. ix x Contents Abstract vii Acknowledgments ix Contents xi 1 Introduction 1 1.1 MusicInformationRetrieval . ....... 1 1.2 Aimofstudy ...................................... 2 1.3 Structure ....................................... 2 1.4 Previouswork.................................... 2 2 Audio descriptors 5 2.1 Motivation ...................................... 5 2.2 Formaldescription ............................... .... 5 2.3 Desiredproperties ............................... .... 6 2.4 Distortionandnoise .............................. .... 7 2.5 Choiceofsourcefragment . ..... 9 2.6 Basicmusicaldescriptors . ...... 9 2.7 Humandescriptors ................................ 13 3 Mel frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCC) 15 3.1 Psychoacoustical motivation .

  • I'm Every (Black) Woman: Negotiating Intersectionality in the Music Industry
    I'M EVERY (BLACK) WOMAN: NEGOTIATING INTERSECTIONALITY IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY Jacqueline P. Hudson A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2021 Committee: Katherine Meizel, Advisor Lee Nickoson Graduate Faculty Representative Radhika Gajjala Angela Nelson © 2021 Jacqueline P. Hudson All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Katherine Meizel, Advisor Black women singers have often been lauded and emulated for their musical talents, but also have been regulated to the lower level of societal hierarchy in the music industry. They had to endure racialized and gendered power structures in the field that positioned white men at the top where they had the authority to make music-industry related decisions, white women who achieved success often on the backs of black women’s labor, and black men who took credit in the music-creating process. While this is standard in the music industry for quite some time, there has been long history of this hierarchy in social phenomena such as the institution of slavery, the women’s suffrage movement, the Civil Rights Movement, and the second/third/ fourth-wave feminist movement. In both the music industry and social history, black women had to create and maintain agency against these power structures. This dissertation explores how the concept of intersectionality, coined by critical race theorist Kimberlé Crenshaw in 1989, informs the way black women singers navigated their identity through the music industry. Incorporating historical context of the social phenomena that was mentioned above, this dissertation also takes a cross section of black women singers from both different eras and genres of music (Willie Mae “Big Mama” Thornton, Nina Simone, Janet Jackson, Janelle Monáe, and Lizzo) in illustrating the narrative on how that they used their personal intersectional experiences in the music industry to fight against racism and sexism in the music industry.
