Misslingendes othering: Kolonialismus und Faschismus in Andrea Camilleris Il nipote del Negus (2010)
No full textAndrea Camilleri zündet in seinem Roman Il nipote del Negus (2010) ein wahres Feuerwerk an Alteritätskonstruktionen, die immer wieder ironisch gebrochen werden und insbesondere für die im vorliegenden Sammelband eingenommene Perspektive auf Hybridität als Aushandlungszone zwischen Normbewahrung und Normverstößen viel Stoff zu liefern vermögen. In Camilleris pikaresk-burleskem Roman zeigt sich – so meine These – ein immer wieder misslingendes oder scheiterndes othering (Spivak), das weder den afrikanischen Anderen in seiner Alterität fixieren noch das italienische Selbstbild stabilisieren kann und mittels Ironisierungen und satirischer Wendungen das reziproke Potenzial der Hybridisierungen, wie Homi K. Bhabha sie insbesondere für seinen Stereotyp-Begriff konzipiert, inhaltlich wie formalästhetisch ausbuchstabiert.24726
Authorship and the Popular Song
No full textWithin the broad field of musicology and music criticism the author as creative originator and authority remains a central figure. Yet sociologists have been sceptical of the emphasis placed on authorship in the arts and humanities, and argued that creativity, artworks and artistic reputations are produced through social processes and struggles. Meanwhile, a strand of cultural theory has followed Barthes’ pronouncement of ‘the death of the author’ and deemed authorship irrelevant to critical debate about meaning and value. In this article I advocate an intermediate or mediating approach, attuned to the insights from both musicology and sociology, and suggest ways that concepts drawn from the study of fictional narrative can be used to ‘unbundle’ the author. Through this I open up a series of questions about how authorship is constructed, conveyed, communicated and contested through the mediations of pop songs and identities of songwriters
Laryngeal Nerve Activity During Pulse Emission in the CF-FM Bat, Rhinolophus ferrumequinum. II. The Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve
No full textThe activity of the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) was recorded in the greater horseshoe bat,Rhinolophus ferrumequinum. Respiration, vocalization and nerve discharges were monitored while vocalizations were elicted by stimulation of the central gray matter. This stimulation evoked either expiration or expiration plus vocalization depending on the stimulus strength. When vocalization occurred it always took place during expiration.
Recordings from the RLN during respiration showed activity during the inspiration phase, but when vocalization occurred there was activity during inspiration and expiration. These results are consistent with the view that the RLN innervates muscles which control the opening and closing of the glottis. During vocalization the vocal folds are closely approximated and the discharge patterns of the nerve suggests that it controls the muscles which start and end each pulse
The South Korean Music Industry: A Literature Review
No full textThis literature review was initially motivated by issues raised during media and trade press discussion of the South Korean Music Industry and the economic and cultural success of the ‘Korean wave’ and K-Pop phenomena, along with a sense that writing about K-pop was not informed by substantive scholarship on the music industry. In part, it was an attempt to follow up claims that the Korean government had supported its culture industries in using K-pop to generate revenue flows into Korea, along with suggestions that South Korea had developed an approach to music production, and cultural production more generally, that could provide a ‘model’ for other nations, particularly as this issue was being discussed in the Chinese media (see, for example, Nip & Choi, 2012).
The literature review surveys the range of information and debates being addressed in writings published in English on Korean popular music and its industry, identifying and outlining salient issues addressed by existing research. It interrogates this literature in terms of the agenda alluded to above and points to potential avenues for future research. It draws some tentative conclusions about the relevance of this research to debates about creative production, the emerging digital economy and new business models. The aim was to produce a selective, focused and concise literature review, condensing material into key points and issues rather than to engage in extended interrogation, debate and analysis. The term music industry refers to all those businesses and organisations with a commercial interest and stake in the production, circulation and consumption of music. The review concludes with some reflections on significant issues that are not addressed in the current literature, along with possible avenues for future research
