WHO NEEDS THIS RADIO TODAY?
No full textThe author makes an attempt to consider the reasons for the cultural depreciation of Russian broadcasting, and highlights, in his opinion, the objective prerequisites for reducing consumer interest in audio information. Among such prerequisites, the author sees: strict censorship, the commercial imbalance of modern radio broadcasting, the preponderance of the visualization in the information and digital space, an emphasis on horizontal communications, a sharp technical change in the specializations of media production, the scientific and pedagogical collapse of the media industry and media education. The author proposes his own concept of linear and non-linear audio broadcasting in the context of total digitalization.http://mediamusic-journal.com/Issues/13_3.htm
MUSICAL RADIO: THE TECHNOLOGY OF PROGRAMING
No full textThe author considers the musical radio broadcasting of the XX-XXI centuries from the point of view of a technical progress. He covers the period from "before tape" era and "tape" era to the modern digital media broadcasting (as example with the Digispot II broadcast automation software). However, despite the significant changes in technics, which are expressed primarily in the extensive use of a computer automation and reduction of programming staff (often up to two or three persons: a program director, a managing editor, a music editor), the principles of the linear broadcasting structure remained identical as a whole. So, the basic structural units here are the program blocks, "clocks", blocks of clock's elements (today, these elements often filled with automated rotation).http://mediamusic-journal.com/Issues/6_2.htm
SOUNDS OF MODERN TALK AIR
No full textThe author examines the role of broadcasting from inception to the present day; he means a new historical round of mass media that links modern radio with 1920-30s radio. Art genres of broadcasting and TV news covered in the direct synthesis with information radio genres. In this case, a more organized and balanced sounding of contemporary information radio (order of texts, music-speech structure, and sound design) has a more limited, local space in society. Radio is not only within national boundaries, but also within cultural, subcultural, narrow consumer boundaries. Hence the clear dominance of the road radio audience, as well as a return to the private broadcasting (mobiles, web-channels, podcasts).http://mediamusic-journal.com/Issues/1_3.htm
RADIO WITHOUT A LISTENER: "MAYAK"
No full textThe singularity of this article is that it is entirely based on a critical analysis of only one live musical radio program on the Mayak radio station and dedicated to the life and work of the famous British composer Andrew Lloyd Webber. In principle, the article can be considered a scientific review of the media product. Based on his analysis, the author comes to the paradoxical conclusion that the presence of a listener becomes unnecessary for modern broadcasting. This is stated by many principles of the conduct of the air, presented in the radio program, where all the information load is placed on the guest in the studio, where there is no preparatory work of the DJs, where their inability to navigate the genres of journalism violates communication norms and colloquial ethics, where an obvious deconstructive approach to the material offered for the listener. In addition, the phenomenon of being he DJs in the radio studio exclusively "for themselves" is emphasized by the sound design of the radio program, which runs counter to the logic of auditory perception (for example, the sequence of jingles), as well as the incompetent selection of musical material, which undoubtedly repels professional radio listeners-musicians.http://mediamusic-journal.com/Issues/8_4.htm
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
MUSIC AND MEDIA FOR CHILDREN: FROM THE ORIGIN TO THE PRESENT
No full textThe article opens the cycle of multimedia publications devoted to the study of media creativeness for children, presented on gramophone records and CDs, on radio and television programs, in cinema and the Internet, video games and mobile applications. This is a huge layer of media products, many of which have already included in the golden fund of humanity, and the most significant and unique of them will be researched in this cycle. The article attempts to scientifically review the main stages of the emergence, development and modification of musical media genres for children's perception in the Soviet and post-Soviet culture. For this, media genres are divided into three conditional meta-groups, such as films-to-music (first of all, films-operas and films-ballets), musical media-works, media-works-with-music. The systems of the Soviet and Russian media industry of musical creativity for children, the emergence of an unprecedented genre of Soviet mass song for children, as well as the crisis of artistic creativity in the digital age are considered in the historical aspect.http://mediamusic-journal.com/Issues/10_1.htm
NOISOLOGY
No full textThe article considers the noise as the most important category of media culture, its ontology and gnoseological quality, impact ways and possible forms of study. "Noisology" is offered like a separate direction in the science of sound. Today, there are systems of learning and teaching of speech and music, but we are not trained to understand or decipher the noises. We often resort to our own empirical experience when talking about noise or trying to identify it, describe its semantics, symbols or imagery. In the media artistic creation and production of the XX-XXI centuries, the role of the noise is not in doubt. "Music for percussion", "symphonies of noises", noise soundtracks, noisomusic, ars-acoustic, noise tools, data bases of noises and sound-engineering practice of audio effects, all can be confirmation of this phenomena. So, applied mission of art noises requires scientific understanding. Therefore the noisology presents three central topics: noise psychoacoustics, noise semiotics, and noise imagery including its "musicality".http://mediamusic-journal.com/Issues/3_6.htm
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
