Various Artists' DJs do Guetto - Dr. Richard (newcastle University Elliott - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Various Artists' DJs do Guetto - Dr. Richard (newcastle University Elliott - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Call it batida, kuduro, Afro house, Lisbon bass: anyone with a keen ear for contemporary developments in global electronic dance music can''t fail to have noticed the rise in popularity and influence of Lisbon-based DJs such as DJ Marfox, DJ Nervoso and Nídia. These DJs and producers have brought the sound of the Lisbon projects to the wider world via international club nights, festival appearances, recordings and remix projects for a range of international artists.This book uses the 2006 compilation DJs do Guetto as a prism for exploring this music''s aesthetics and its roots in Lusophone Africa, its evolution in the immigrant communities of Lisbon and its journey from there to the world. The story is one of encounters: between people, sounds, neighborhoods, technologies and cultural contexts. Drawing on reflections by DJ Marfox and others, the book establishes DJs do Guetto as a foundation stone not only for a burgeoning music scene, but also for a newfound sense of pride in a place and a community.

Do Federal Social Programs Work? - David B. Muhlhausen - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Do Federal Social Programs Work? - David B. Muhlhausen - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Addressing an issue of burning interest to every taxpayer, a Heritage Foundation scholar brings objective analysis to bear as he responds to the important—and provocative—question posed by his book''s title. Of course, the answer to that question will also help determine whether the American public should fear budget cuts to federal social programs. Readers, says author David B. Muhlhausen, can rest easy. As his book decisively demonstrates, scientifically rigorous national studies almost unanimously find that the federal government fails to solve social problems. To prove his point, Muhlhausen reports on large-scale evaluations of social programs for children, families, and workers, some advocated by Democrats, some by Republicans. But it isn''t just the results that matter. It''s the lesson to readers on how Americans can—and should—accurately assess government programs that cost hundreds of billions of dollars each year.At the book''s core is an insistence that we move beyond anecdotal reasoning and often-partisan opinion to measure the effectiveness of social programs using objective analysis and scientific methods. At the very least, the results of such analysis will, like this book, provide a sound basis for much-needed public debate.

Interpreting Star Wars - Miles (independent Scholar Booy - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Interpreting Star Wars - Miles (independent Scholar Booy - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Upon its initial release in 1977, many critics regarded Star Wars as a childish retort to the mature American cinema of the seventies. Though full of sound and fury, some felt that it signified nothing. Four decades later, the significations are multiple as interpretations of the film’s strange imagery and metaphoric potential continue to pile up. Interpreting Star Wars analyses and contextualises the dominant trends in Star Wars interpretation from the earliest reviews, through Lucasfilm’s attempts to use its position as copyright holder to promote a single meaning, to the 21st century where the internet has rendered such authorial control impossible and new entries to the canon present new twists on old hopes.

Manic Street Preachers’ The Holy Bible - David Evans - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Manic Street Preachers’ The Holy Bible - David Evans - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

In August 1994, Manic Street Preachers released The Holy Bible , a dark, fiercely intelligent album that explored such themes as mental illness, murder and war. Richey Edwards, the band’s lyricist and motive force, vanished five months later; he was never found. In his absence The Holy Bible entered the rock canon alongside Joy Division’s Closer and Nirvana’s In Utero, the valedictory works of troubled young men. This book tells the dramatic story of Manic Street Preachers'' masterpiece. Tracing the album''s origins in the Valleys, an industrialised region of South Wales where the band spent their formative years, the author argues that The Holy Bible can be seen as a meditation on the uses and abuses of history.

Kylie Minogue's Kylie - Dr. Adrian Renzo - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Kylie Minogue's Kylie - Dr. Adrian Renzo - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Kylie Minogue’s self-titled debut album produced hits, controversy and a perfect mainstream storm. The then soap and children’s television star ‘crossed over’ to music with hit writer/producers SAW — and the shamelessly commercial approach of all involved saw the ‘real’ music industry get its back up. This book interrogates the way that commercial pop albums are remembered in both the popular music press and in academic research. Is there a way of dealing with ‘mainstream’ pop without denigrating the music and (just as importantly) without validating it according to the terms of a ‘high art’ canon? This text sheds light on the way that notions of ‘mainstream’ and ‘other’ play out in a local context—specifically, Australia and New Zealand music on a global stage.

DIY Music and the Politics of Social Media - Dr. Ellis (postdoctoral Research Fellow Jones - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

DIY Music and the Politics of Social Media - Dr. Ellis (postdoctoral Research Fellow Jones - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

The emergence of social media in the early 21st century promised to facilitate new "DIY" cultural approaches, emphasizing participation and democratization. However, in recent years these platforms have been criticized as domineering and exploitative. For DIY musicians in scenes with lengthy histories of cultural resistance, is social media a powerful emancipatory and democratizing tool, or a new corporate antagonist to be resisted? DIY Music explores the significant challenges faced by artists navigating this fraught cultural landscape. How do anti-commercial musicians operate in the competitive, attention-seeking world of social media? How do they deal with a new abundance of data and metrics? How do they present their activity as "cultural resistance"? This book shows that a platform-enabled DIY approach is now the norm for a wide array of cultural practitioners; this "DIY-as-default" landscape threatens to depoliticize the call to "do-it-yourself."

Board Games as Media - Dr. Paul (depaul University Booth - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Leading expert Paul Booth explores the growth in popularity of board games today, and unpacks what it means to read a board game. What does a game communicate? How do games play us?

With little scholarly research in this still-emerging field, Board Games as Media underscores the importance of board games in the ever-evolving world of media.

South African Horror Cinema - Calum Waddell - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

South African Horror Cinema - Calum Waddell - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

This is the first study to explore South Africa both in horror cinema and as a formidable producer of celluloid scares. From framing the notorious apartheid system as a mental asylum in the ground-breaking and criminally underseen Jannie Totsiens (Jans Rautenbach, 1970) to such seventies exploitation shockers as The Demon (Percival Rubens, 1979) through to the blockbuster hit District 9 (Neill Blomkamp, 2009) and beyond, this book suggests that South Africa should finally obtain its rightful place in the canon of wider genre studies and horror cinema fandom.Taking in the 80s nightmares of Darrell Roodt and concluding with an analysis of the recent boom-period in South African fright-films, including discussion of such contemporary efforts as The Tokoloshe (Jerome Pikwane, 2018) and the Troma-esque leanings of Fried Barry (Ryan Kruger, 2020), South African Horror Cinema focuses on ever-changing identities and perspectives, and embraces the frequently carnivalesque and grotesque elements of a most unique lineage in macabre motion pictures.
