Contemporary Literature. Analysis of Jonathan Bazzi's novels
No full textopenDopo una breve panoramica della letteratura italiana degli ultimi vent’anni si analizzano i due romanzi di Jonathan Bazzi "Febbre" e "Corpi minori" dai punti di vista formale, stilistico e tematico. Si discute inoltre il rapporto tra social media, autofiction e autore; nel capitolo 4 si riporta l'intervista che Bazzi ci ha gentilmente concesso, in cui questi argomenti vengono ripresi.
Si individuano alcune differenze che i testi mostrano rispetto alla letteratura moderna, e gli aspetti che hanno in comune con quella contemporanea; nel fare questo si accennano quindi alcune caratteristiche della società che li ha prodotti.The paper starts off with a brief overview of the contemporary Italian literature; then the reader is guided through an analysis of Jonathan Bazzi's novels, "Febbre" ("Fever") and "Corpi minori" ("Minor bodies"), both translated in English and published by Scribe. The relationship between author, autofiction and social media will also be discussed; in chapter four the reader will find the interview Bazzi kindly granted us
The Travels of Johnny Reggae: From Jonathan King to Prince Far-I; from Skinhead to Rasta
No full text"Johnny Reggae" began as an English pop-ska song in 1971. Written and produced by Jonathan King, it described a skinhead with that nickname through the eyes of his girlfriend. Subsequently, the song was covered in Jamaica, and then the name was used for characters in toasts by Big Youth, Dr Alimantado, and Prince Far-I, which were increasingly concerned with Rastafarianism. Ska was a Jamaican musical form that was transferred to England in the mid-1960s by the Jamaican migrants who had started arriving in Britain after the Second World War encouraged by the post-war labor shortage. Johnny Reggae moves from being a member of a racist white, English youth culture to being a black Rasta challenging the rule of Babylon. This article traces this historical development using postcolonial theory to examine the power dynamics that informed this cultural exchange between Britain and Jamaica
Administration and Curricula of the Introductory Graduate Music Research Course
No full textThe introductory research course is an integral part of many graduate music programs, yet there have been few studies that discuss its curricula across institutions. A questionnaire was sent to instructors of the course to identify shared pedagogical approaches among North American schools of music. The survey was divided into sections that prompted respondents to identify issues discussed in the course, including the types and titles of resources, research methodologies, and library use topics. With a response rate of over 40 percent, the survey also contains valuable data concerning the professional identifications of instructors, assignments used for grading, common textbooks, perception of the course’s efficacy, and more. Shared features of the course included the importance of electronic resources; the minimal use of Internet-mediated instruction formats; a strong preference for English-language materials; and a focus on resources such as databases, style guides, collected works, monuments of music, and thematic catalogs over and above others such as repertoire guides, discographies, directories, and iconographies.Peer reviewedThis publication first appeared in Notes Volume 71, Number 3, March 2015, pp. 448-478.

Citizen participation in news
No full textThe process of producing news has changed significantly due to the advent of the Web, which has enabled the increasing involvement of citizens in news production. This trend has been given many names, including participatory journalism, produsage, and crowd-sourced journalism, but these terms are ambiguous and have been applied inconsistently, making comparison of news systems difficult. In particular, it is problematic to distinguish the levels of citizen involvement, and therefore the extent to which news production has genuinely been opened up. In this paper we perform an analysis of 32 online news systems, comparing them in terms of how much power they give to citizens at each stage of the news production process. Our analysis reveals a diverse landscape of news systems and shows that they defy simplistic categorisation, but it also provides the means to compare different approaches in a systematic and meaningful way. We combine this with four case studies of individual stories to explore the ways that news stories can move and evolve across this landscape. Our conclusions are that online news systems are complex and interdependent, and that most do not involve citizens to the extent that the terms used to describe them imply
To what extent is Lemuel Gulliver in Gulliver’s Travels by Jonathan Swift a reflection of the writer with regard to political and religious views, and attitudes toward women and the concept of family?
No full textThis extended essay is an examination of the extent to which the protagonist Lemuel Gulliver in Gulliver’s Travels is a reflection of Jonathan Swift. It involves the exploration of this research question in terms of politics, religion, attitude to women and family; with references to this piece of literature and some secondary resources when necessary. The quotations from published literary criticism are either refuted by examples from the novel or supported in the light of evidence from the novel. Other secondary resources include Swift’s two other prose works, The Modest Proposal and A Letter to a Very Young Lady on Her Marriage, which are referred to briefly for clarification of the evidence. The purpose of this study is to analyse in what ways and to what extent the protagonist is an author-surrogate in the abovementioned ways.
This essay is comprised of two sections, namely “politics and religion” and “women and family”, each focusing on a particular aspect of the investigation. In the first section, Swift’s political and religious standpoint is discussed extensively in order to correctly evaluate Gulliver’s paradigm. By making connections between the beliefs of the author and those of Gulliver, the relation between the two is established to support the claim of this essay. In the second section, the female figures in the novel and Gulliver’s perception of them are inspected. The plot is also taken into consideration in this part of the inquiry although the central focus is on the persona.
In the conclusion, it is validated that Gulliver is a reflection of Jonathan Swift with regard to political and religious vision, and attitude towards women and family, by juxtaposing and assembling the main elements of personification of Gulliver and Jonathan Swift’s personal ideas and experiences

No full textADVOCACY LITERATURE SANS FRONTIÉRES: AFRICAN WARSCAPES, INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY, AND POPULAR NARRATIVES FOR EMERGING HUMAN RIGHTS NORMS
No full textThis dissertation analyzes a set of contemporary works that have all been conceived, produced, and circulated in frameworks of international concern as advocates work to popularize narratives representing grave injustices, thereby strengthening the basis for international response to African conflicts characterized by massive human rights violations. All of the feature advocacy literature examined here—Kony 2012 (documentary), Johnny Mad Dog (a film), Johnny Chien Méchant (a novel), What is the What (a novel), and Ruined (a play)—intersect with a variety of institutional and organizational efforts seeking recognition for victims—ones that can be translated into means of support, protection, and redress. This study traces the life of these particular works, their relationships to such organizational efforts, and the ways they contribute to advancing a social project central to human rights culture: developing in the audience or readers a sense of civic duty attached to common membership in the “international community.” These representations support the central project of human rights, but also highlight the political complexity of undertaking such a project in the face of radical inequalities and the history of interventionism sanctioned by empire in the name of humanitarianism and aid of African subjects. A central argument in this study is that one must understand these works in the context of emerging patterns in “international civil society.” The popularity of these works, and the interpretations of conflict they promote, can be read as an important index of emerging norms in human rights, particularly the 2005 United Nations initiative, the Responsibility to Protect, which has sought to redefine state sovereignty with greater emphasis on its responsibilities toward citizens. Drawing from the insights of philosophy, reception theory, cultural anthropology, and postcolonial critique, this study highlights a series of salient ethical and political complexities involved in these projects of gaining recognition for victims, including the possibilities and limits tied to the concept of an international community—a group with trans-national solidarities faithful to human rights principles—envisioned as a limitation on state power
