O enfoque recaiu sobre os espaços das discotecas, Twist's, Duboiê e Atlanta, seus freqüentadores, funcionários e proprietários buscando compreender como estes percebem, experimentam e relacionam-se em suas instalações e nos arredores, identificando, ainda, as principais motivações e interesses. A análise dos dados coletados permitiu identificar a manifestação dos mitos da juventude, da liberdade e do prazer e suas influências quanto à inclusão/exclusão de participantes neste tipo de atividade, bem como, sua importância na construção/manutenção daqueles espaços. As observações e entrevistas tiveram como referência vozes e ações dos sujeitos da pesquisa, agentes dinâmicos na composição do estudo, indicando que nesta manifestação apresentam-se vínculos estabelecidos entre as pessoas, os espaços, e a cidade resignificando-os contínua e mutuamente, permeados de elementos da cultura metropolitana e influenciados pelo momento histórico atual / Abstract: The present study contemplates, by means of a social and cultural analysis, the night time dancing leisure in the City of São Caetano do Sul, in the State of São Paulo. It focuses on the spaces of the night clubs, such as Twist's, Duboiê and Atlanta, their customers, employees and owners, with a view to understanding their the way they realize, experience and relate in their totality, and also concentrates on their main motivations and interests. Through the analysis of the collected data, the manifestation of the myths of youth, freedom and pleasure and their influence as to inclusion/exclusion, in this kind of activity, have become evident, as has their importance in the development and maintenance of such spaces. The remarks and interviews referred to voices and behaviors of the subjects of the research, who have been dynamic agents throughout the composition of this study, indicating herein the presence of bonds set between people, spaces and the city, continuously and mutually granting each other with new meanings, bonds which are permeated with elements of the metropolitan culture and influenced by the current historical moment / Mestrado / Estudos do Lazer / Mestre em Educação Física

This study exp !ores the relationship between an individual's interest in and exposure to the rap/hip-hop genre and the messages and values contained within the music, as well as the role of self-esteem in generating interest and motivating exposure to rap/hip-hop music. A survey questionnaire was administered to 213 students at a community college in northern California. Interest and exposure to rap/hip-hop were found to be significantly correlated with acceptance of a number of values portrayed in the music. However, those most interested in and exposed to rap/hip-hop music were less likely to perceive negative social values in the music as well as believe these values characterized rap/hip-hop artists. Self-esteem failed as a predictor of interest and exposure to the music.

A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Humanities, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts by Research in Music Johannesburg 2016 / This research explores the influence that inner city redevelopment in Johannesburg has had on both its music scenes and the identities of those participating in the music scenes, particularly young participants from Johannesburg’s suburbs who did not interact with the city before its redevelopment. Understanding the city’s history as well as the current lived and imagined divides between its suburbs and inner city illuminates its fragmented nature and informs the significance of the presence of suburban youths in today’s inner city music scenes. Personal and collective narratives gathered from participants of these inner city music scenes provide insight into the city’s spatial, social, and musical transitions, adding subjective voices to the city’s complex and ever-evolving history. The use of culture-led regeneration (within cultural clusters), as a model of redevelopment, has aided in the success of attracting new audiences to the inner city once eschewed by suburbanites, providing grounds for new experiences and interactions within an increasingly diverse social sphere. Due to this, the music’s diversity within these spaces is expanding too. The role of music – and in particular, alternative music – in enticing suburban youths to the inner city requires an understanding of why ‘alternative’ (or arguably, creative) people are often drawn to urban spaces, and in doing so, often become main contributors to the accomplishments and successes of redevelopment initiatives. Examining social interactions and relationships within the inner city, in comparison to those in suburban Johannesburg, exposes a unique and highly valued manner of communal bonding amongst participants that is often tied to involvement in similar music scenes. The experience of the inner city, the experience of music in the inner city, and the experience of a community of like-minded people within the inner city all combine to create new discourses about Johannesburg, as well as impacting on the identities and experiences of those contributing to these discourses.

The study sought to determine the relationships of preference responses to grade, gender, familiarity, musical training, peers'/parents' listening habits, music media use, and listening contexts. Grade six through nine Hong Kong students (N = 310) completed the audio preference test followed by verbal responses to training, peers'/parents' preferences, leisure/music media involvement, and listening context. Results indicated: The preferred genres, in descending order, were Western pop/rock, Cantopop/rock, Western classical; the disliked genres were jazz, Chinese, and non- Western/non-Chinese. Preference correlated strongly with genre familiarity. Pop genres were the most familiar to all adolescents. The students' preference toward Western pop/rock and Cantopop/rock associated with several listening contexts: solitary listening, having great freedom to choose one's desired music for listening, listening to music in one's room, and listening to music as background activity. The adolescents expressed that their leisure activities were spent with their family and friends. However, they made it clear that music listening was a personal activity that very likely was listened to alone. On all listening occasions, the girls exhibited a more positive response than the boys did. With four to five hours daily leisure time, the adolescents watched TV for three to four hours while spending less than two hours on listening to recorded music, and less than an hour on listening to radio music, MTV/karaoke, and music websites. Cantopop/rock was the most pursued music style in terms of the records bought, concerts attended outside of school, their peers', and parents' most-listened-to music. Some weak correlations of preference with grade and gender were identified: the grade six students showed more tolerance to Chinese and non-Western/non-Chinese music. Boys preferred jazz more than the girls did. Private music study and extracurricular musical experiences related to Western classical and non-Western/non-Chinese music preferences whereas school music training failed to show any association with students' musical preference.
