From rock'n'roll to hard core punk : an introduction to rock music in Durban, 1963-1985.Van der Meulen, Lindy. January 1995 (has links)
This thesis introduces the reader to rock music in Durban from
1963 to 1985, tracing the development of rock in Durban from
rock'n'roll to hard core punk. Although the thesis is
historically orientated, it also endeavours to show the
relationship of rock music in Durban to three central themes,
viz: the relationship of rock in Durban to the socio-political
realities of apartheid in South Africa; the role of women in
local rock, and the identity crisis experienced by white,
English-speaking South Africans. Each of these themes is explored
in a separate chapter, with Chapter Two providing the bulk of
historical data on which the remaining chapters are based.
Besides the important goal of documenting a forgotten and ignored
rock history, one central concern pervades this work. In every
chapter, the conclusions reached all point to the identity crisis
experienced both by South African rock audiences and the rock
musicians themselves. The constant hankering after international
(and specifically British) rock music trends both by audiences
and fans is symptomatic of a culture in crisis, and it is the
search for the reasons for this identity crisis that dominate
this work. The global/local debate and its relationship to rock
in South Africa has been a useful theoretical tool in the
unravelling of the identity crisis mentioned above.
Chapter Four focusses on the role of women in the Durban rock
scene and documents the difficulties experienced by women who
were rock musicians in Durban. This is a small contribution to
the increasing field of womens' studies, and I have attempted to
relate the role of women in rock in Durban to other studies in
this field. / Thesis (M.Mus.)-University of Natal, Durban, 1995.

Popular music as cultural commodity : the American recorded music industries 1976-1985Straw, Will, 1954- January 1990 (has links)
This dissertation is an analysis of historical change within those cultural industries involved in the production and dissemination of popular music. Through an analysis of the relationship between the recording and radio industries within the United States, during the period 1976-1985, the manner in which crises within these industries arise and are resolved is traced. The emergence of such musical forms as "disco" and "New Wave", and the manner in which these forms have been integrated within the functioning of the music-related industries, are central concerns of the dissertation. At the same time, more general theoretical hypotheses concerning the role played by taste in the creation of audiences for different categories of popular music are elaborated and employed within the study of specific musical genres.

Previous issue date: 2008 / Resumo: De acordo com Néstor Garcia Canclini, em ¿Cidades e cidadãos imaginados pelos meios de comunicação¿, a sociedade está submetida a uma ¿urbanização que desurbaniza¿, onde os meios de comunicação atuam de maneira a criar vínculos entre os bairros, periferias e centro. Diante da heterogeneidade urbana, para este autor, a mídia apresenta um espetáculo reconfortante onde a população sente-se incluída nas mais diversas manifestações da cidade. Surge então a questão principal que será abordada neste trabalho: a rádio comunitária assume o papel das mídias, na definição de Canclini, estabelecendo um elo com a cidade ou reforça a localidade em que está inserida? A partir da pesquisa em rádio comunitária do Jardim das Bandeiras, periferia da cidade de Campinas, é possível analisar o fluxo de informações originado nessa territorialidade focalizando a experiência local de um programa de rap e seus atores sociais / Abstract: According to Néstor Garcia Canclini, in "Cities and citizens imagined by media", the society is submitted to a "urbanização que desurbaniza", where media acts in order to create links among districts, peripheries and downtown. Canclini believes that due to the urban heterogeneity, the media presents a reinvigorating show where the population is included in several city manifestations. Then appears the ultimate issue which will be treated in this work: does community radio take over the media¿s role, as defined by Canclini, establishing a link with the city or does it reinforce the place where it is inserted? Starting from the research in community radio of the Jardim das Bandeiras, periphery of the Campinas city, it is possible to analyze the information flow originated in that territoriality focusing the local experience of a rap program and their social actors / Mestrado / Antropologia Social / Mestre em Antropologia Social

The Castrato Sacrifice: Was it Justified?Sowle, Jennifer 08 1900 (has links)
One of the greatest mysteries in the history of music is the castrato singers of the Baroque era. Castration has existed for many thousands of years, but for the first time in history, it was used for artistic purposes. Who were these men who seemingly gave up their masculinity for the sake of music? By examining the time period and circumstances in which these musicians lived, an answer may be found. Exploring the economic, social, and political structure of the 17th and 18th centuries may reveal the mindset behind such a strange yet accepted practice. The in-depth study of their lives and careers will help lift the veil of mystery that surrounds them. Was their physical sacrifice a blessing or a curse? Was it worth it?

Determinants of microblog music review credibility and its influence on electronic word of mouth (eWOM) adoption.Mazibuko, Mdumiso 04 1900 (has links)
M. Tech. (Department of Marketing, Faculty of Management Sciences), Vaal University of Technology. / While more than half of the South African adult population are active microbloggers, the most common topics that are discussed include current affairs, sports and music entertainment. Nonetheless, there exists intrinsic fear about the credibility of digital content, which stems from the fact that there are limited standards for quality control in the microglogging sphere. Consequently, this apprehension exacerbates potential problems pertaining to ascertaining the reliability of electronic word of mouth (eWOM) communication. In this vein, this study seeks to investigate the salience of selected determinants on consumers’ perceptions about the credibility of microblog music reviews and future eWOM adoption.
The sample comprised 485 self-reporting microbloggers residing in the southern Gauteng region of South Africa. The study applied a quantitative approach, whereas cross-sectional data were collected only once from the sample using a paper and pencil based self-administered questionnaire in 2018. Moreover, a positivist philosophy was followed, whereas hypotheses were framed from the credibility heuristics theory, posited as the underlying cues that aid consumers in the online credibility verification process. The formal protocol for research ethics were followed upon collecting empirical data, whereas the multi-item survey questionnaire was tested for reliability and validity.
The hypotheses testing comprised an estimation of two regression models. From the findings obtained, it is evident that source credibility, information quality, homophily and prior beliefs confirmation are the four heuristics that pose a significant effect on the evaluation of microblog music reviews by consumers, yielding approximately 43.3 percent explanatory power on the overall credibility of microblog music reviews. Moreover, the second regression model proved the positive effect of microblog music review credibility on eWOM adoption, whereas the independent variable explains 30.7 percent of the variance in eWOM adoption. These findings point to the significance in applying the heuristics in evaluating microblog music reviews created by South African consumers. As such, the findings could assist both microblog administrators and marketing communication practitioners to better design the platforms to facilitate reader credibility evaluations about various products.
