Harmony and discord within the English ‘counter-culture’, 1965-1975, with particular reference to the ‘rock operas’ Hair, Godspell, Tommy and Jesus Christ Superstar
No full textPhDThis thesis considers the discrete, historically-specific theatrical and musical sub-genre of ‘Rock Opera’ as a lens through which to examine the cultural, political and social changes that are widely assumed to have characterised ‘The Sixties’ in Britain. The musical and dramatic texts, creation and production of Hair (1967), Tommy (1969), Godspell (1971), Jesus Christ Superstar (1970) and other neglected ‘Rock Operas’ of the period are analysed. Their great popularity with ‘mainstream’ audiences is considered and contrasted with the overwhelmingly negative and often internally contradictory reaction towards them from the English ‘counter-culture’. This examination offers new insights into both the ‘counter-culture’ and the ‘mainstream’ against which it claimed to define and differentiate itself.
The four ‘Rock Operas’, two of which are based upon Christian scriptures, are considered as narratives of spiritual quest. The relationship between the often controversial quests for re-defined forms of faith and the apparently precipitous ‘secularization’ and ‘de-Christianization’ of British society during the 1960s and 1970s is considered.
The thesis therefore analyses the ‘Rock Operas’ as significant, enlightening prisms through which to view many of the profound societal debates – over ‘faith’ and ‘belief’ in the widest senses, sexuality, the Vietnam war, generational conflict, drugs and ‘spiritual enlightenment’, and race – which were, to some considerable extent, elevated onto the national, political agenda by the activities of the broadly-defined ‘counter-culture’. It considers subsequent representations of the ‘counter-culture’ as the root of a contested but enduring popular legacy of ‘The Sixties' as a period of profound cultural change

Modelling the IEEE 802.11 wireless MAC layer under heterogeneous VoIP traffic to evaluate and dimension QoE
No full textPhDAs computers become more popular in the home and workplace, sharing resources and
Internet access locally is a necessity. The simplest method of choice is by deploying a
Wireless Local Area Network; they are inexpensive, easy to configure and require
minimal infrastructure. The wireless local area network of choice is the IEEE 802.11
standard; IEEE 802.11, however, is now being implemented on larger scales outside of
the original scope of usage. The realistic usage spans from small scale home solutions to
commercial ‘hot spots,’ providing access within medium size areas such as cafés, and
more recently blanket coverage in metropolitan. Due to increasing Internet availability
and faster network access, in both wireless and wired, the concept of using such
networks for real-time services such as internet telephony is also becoming popular.
IEEE 802.11 wireless access is shared with many clients on a single channel and there are
three non-overlapping channels available. As more stations communicate on a single
channel there is increased contention resulting in longer delays due to the backoff
overhead of the IEEE 802.11 protocol and hence loss and delay variation; not desirable
for time critical traffic.
Simulation of such networks demands super-computing resource, particularly where
there are over a dozen clients on a given. Fortunately, the author has access to the UK’s
super computers and therefore a clear motivation to develop a state of the art analytical
model with the required resources to validate. The goal was to develop an analytical
model to deal with realistic IEEE 802.11 deployments and derive results without the
need for super computers.
A network analytical model is derived to model the characteristics of the IEEE 802.11
protocol from a given scenario, including the number of clients and the traffic load of
each. The model is augmented from an existing published saturated case, where each
client is assumed to always have traffic to transmit. The nature of the analytical model is
to allow stations to have a variable load, which is achieved by modifying the existing
models and then to allow stations to operate with different traffic profiles. The different
traffic profiles, for each station, is achieved by using the augmented model state machine
per station and distributing the probabilities to each station’s state machine accordingly.
To address the gap between the analytical models medium access delay and standard
network metrics which include the effects of buffering traffic, a queueing model is
identified and augmented which transforms the medium access delay into standard
network metrics; delay, loss and jitter. A Quality of Experience framework, for both
computational and analytical results, is investigated to allow the results to be represented
as user perception scores and the acceptable voice call carrying capacity found. To find
the acceptable call carrying capacity, the ITU-T G.107 E-Model is employed which can
be used to give each client a perception rating in terms of user satisfaction.

With the use of a novel framework, benchmarking results show that there is potential to
maximise the number of calls carried by the network with an acceptable user perception
rating. Dimensioning of the network is undertaken, again compared with simulation
from the super computers, to highlight the usefulness of the analytical model and
framework and provides recommendations for network configurations, particularly for
the latest Wireless Multimedia extensions available in IEEE 802.11.
Dimensioning shows an overall increase of acceptable capacity of 43%; from 7 to 10 bidirectional
calls per Access Point by using a tuned transmission opportunity to allow
each station to send 4 packets per transmission. It is found that, although the accuracy
of the results from the analytical model is not precise, the model achieves a 1 in 13,000
speed up compared to simulation. Results show that the point of maximum calls comes
close to simulation with the analytical model and framework and can be used as a guide
to configure the network. Alternatively, for specific capacity figures, the model can be
used to home-in on the optimal region for further experiments and therefore achievable
with standard computational resource, i.e. desktop machines
Musikstädte as real and imaginary soundscapes: urban musical images as literary motifs in twentieth-century German modernism
No full textPhDThis study examines German literary images of musical life as part of the wider sound identity of the modern German city at the turn of the twentieth century. Focussing on a forty-year period from 1890 to 1930, synonymous with the emergence of the modern German metropolis as an aesthetic object, the project assesses, compares and contrasts how musical life in the Musikstädte was perceived and portrayed by writers in an increasingly noisy urban environment. How does urban musical life influence and condition city writings? What are the differences and similarities between the writings on various musical cities? Can an urban textual sound identity be derived from these differences and similarities? The approach employed to answer these questions is a new, cross-disciplinary one to urban sound in literature, moving beyond reading the key sounds of the urban soundscape using urban musicology, sensorial anthropology and cultural poetics towards a literary contextualisation of the urban aural experience.
The literary motifs of the symphony, the gramophone and urban noise are put under the spotlight through the analysis of a wide range of modernist works by authors who have a special relationship with music. At the centre of this analysis are the Kaffeehausliteratur authors Hermann Bahr, Alfred Polgar and Peter Altenberg, the then Munich-based author Thomas Mann and the lesser known René Schickele. The analysis of these particular works is framed in the music-geographical context of the Musikstadt and literary underpinnings of this topos, ranging from Ingeborg Bachmann to Hans Mayer and, once again, Thomas Mann. In analysing these texts, the methodological approach devised by Strohm, who identifies the blending of a range of urban sounds as a definition of urban space and identity, is applied. His ideas combine historical literary
analysis, musical history and urban sociology. They are rarely used in the analysis of the auditory environment.Arts and Humanities Research Council
