「知識經濟」時代裡，知識透過流通而生成更多文化資產帶給人類價值。知識，向來就是共有共享的。但起自智慧財產權出現後，開始出現知識私有、知識買賣的情形出現。難道，是著作權(copyright)戰勝了著作義(Copyleft)？近年來全球掀起一片「告！告！告！」的熱潮，無論是美國的Napster訴訟案，還是台灣的「成大MP3」事件；還是微軟在美國的反托拉斯訴訟，或是在台灣面臨合理議價調查，都顯示「著作權」引發的相關問題蔓延全世界。 本研究將知識/文化商品視為資訊資本主義社會的生產工具，並且探討當「智慧」變成「財產」時，資本主義、國家機器爭權奪利的過程中出現的問題與爭議。研究者先就著作權的政治經濟脈絡耙梳出「著作權」不是「道德問題」，而是「經濟問題」，更是國際關係中藉以制衡弱勢小國的利器。 實證部分以1960-2002年間台灣著作權發展過程中三個衝突事件為例，包括1960年代的《大英百科全書》翻印風波、1980年代的「蘋果電腦侵權事件」，及1990年代跨國公司進入後的台灣流行音樂產業作為個案，具體驗證台灣著作權發展過程中，的確受到資本主義與國家機器及國際依賴關係的影響。最終以近年來網際網路發展蓬勃，連帶引出的著作權爭議作結，本研究除了對台灣著作權的政治經濟發展提出看法外，亦在結論中對知識/文化產業，及著作權規範的未來發展提出意見。 / Under knowledge-based economy, knowledge brings more value to human beings by spreading and then generating cultural properties. Although sharing is the essential characteristic of knowledge, there have been some arguments that knowledge is private and knowledge can be traded after the idea of intellectual property rights emerged. Does it mean Copyrights overtops “Copyleft”? In recent years, there have been more and more lawsuits related to copyrights such as Napster vs. RIAA in 1999 in the US, and IFPI vs. NCKU MP3 lawsuit in 2001 in Taiwan. Moreover, Microsoft, the worldwide leading software company, also faced US federal government’s antitrust violations prosecution, and rational price investigation by Taiwan government. All these cases indicate that copyright has caused problems all over the world. This thesis regards both the knowledge and cultural products as the producing tools of information capitalism society. It also discussed the conflicts between Capitalism and state apparatuses when “knowledge” became “property.” By examining the context of political economy in intellectual property, the author achieved two conclusions. First of all, the copyright is not a moral issue but an economic one. Secondly, in international society, copyrights have been the weapon for powerful nations to control the powerless ones. We cited three copyright conflicts in Taiwan from 1960-2002, including the reprint issue of Encyclopaedia Britannica in the 1960s, copyright violation case of Apple Computer in the 1980s, and the international pop music piracy disputes in the 1990s, the author made an empirical research to conclude that the development of copyright in Taiwan indeed was affected by the capitalism, the state apparatuses, and the international interdependency. This thesis ended with the prospective copyright issues originated from the burgeoning Internet industry. Not only did the research indicate some suggestions regard to the development of political economy in copyright, also made comments about the future development of knowledge/culture industry’s copyright regulation.

O presente estudo teve como objetivo principal aplicar a canção em sala de aula, para medir o seu grau de influência na aprendizagem do aluno no contexto de LE, particularmente da língua alemã. Com base no levantamento bibliográfico, foi constatado que a canção é uma ferramenta importante no ensino-aprendizagem de LE. Porém, sentiu-se falta da descrição dos resultados a partir da sua aplicação em sala de aula. Nos livros didáticos e em sala de aula, há, geralmente, canções elaboradas. No entanto, para despertar a motivação dos alunos da faixa etária de 13-14 anos das 8as séries de uma escola particular de São Paulo, houve a preocupação em selecionar uma canção autêntica que correspondesse ao universo de interesses dos jovens. Antes da escolha da canção houve a preocupação em definir a canção autêntica, segundo Parnitzke (1997). Dentre as canções autênticas, foi adotada a canção popular, que vai ao encontro dos interesses dos jovens. Dessa forma compreende-se por canção popular uma melodia cantada, com uma estrutura conjugada de língua e música, que compõem uma unidade. As suas partes melódicas são fáceis de cantar e de memorizar, as entoações e o ritmo orientam-se pelo texto. Engloba os gêneros musicais cantados, que são produzidos e divulgados em massa. A escolha da canção popular iniciou com um questionário respondido por jovens alemães da mesma faixa etária do público-alvo, passando pela definição do objetivo de aprendizagem para a sua aplicação e pela consideração dos critérios de escolha de canções estabelecidos por Setzer (2003), entre outros autores. O objetivo de aprendizagem com a canção concentrou-se na identificação de fonemas vocálicos característicos da língua alemã, ausentes no português do Brasil, visando uma melhor compreensão na comunicação oral. Para medir o grau de aprendizagem dos fonemas vocálicos, optou-se pela aplicação de um ditado antes e após o uso da canção em quatro grupos, dos quais um representou o grupo-controle, ou seja, não realizou a atividade com a canção. Após a aplicação da canção e a realização do segundo ditado verificou-se que, embora ainda ocorressem diversos erros ortográficos, houve uma melhora na compreensão auditiva refletida na representação de grafia dos fonemas específicos da língua alemã pelos alunos. Ao mesmo tempo, verificou-se que no grupocontrole essa melhora não ocorreu. Diante disso, conclui-se que a canção é um instrumento importante para a aprendizagem da LE. / The application of songs as class room activity, aiming at the measurement of their influence, presumed positive, on the pupils learning process of foreign languages, is the main goal of this study. From the literature review one concludes that songs are considered useful foreign language teaching tools. Nevertheless, there is a lack of measurements showing how effectively music influences the learning process. Text books usually present songs which are deliberately composed for teaching purposes. Considering 13-14 year old students, an authentic song, and thus motivating since it brings up young peoples concerns, was selected. Prior to the choice, Parnitzkes (1997) definition of authentic song was presented and discussed. Among the universe of authentic songs, the so called pop music was chosen, as it meets young peoples expectations. Pop song is understood as a sung tune with an integrated structure of music and language which composes a unity. Its melody is easily sung and memorized, its intonation and rhythm are guided by the lyrics. It comprises songs that are mass orientated and broadcast. The song selection process began with a questionnaire completed by young German students aged like the ones considered in this research, followed by the definition of the learning goal and of the choice criteria proposed by Setzer (2003), among others. The learning goal was focused on the identification of German language characteristic vocal phonemes which are absent in the Portuguese language spoken in Brasil, aiming at the improvement of listening comprehension skills. Four groups of students were considered, one of which was the control group that did not have contact with the song, and in order to measure the learning progress on the phonemes, the students did one dictation prior to and after the song activity. An analysis of the errors made by the students on both dictations showed that, excepting the students of the control group, there was an improvement in their listening comprehension skills, measured by the reduction of spelling mistakes. According to this, one confirms that the song is an important foreign language learning tool

Dans le cadre de ma maîtrise, et plus généralement dans ma pratique musicale, le mixage et le matriçage sont les deux techniques d’écriture qui ont principalement retenu mon attention pour la composition de pièces électroacoustiques. La composition de ces oeuvres a servi de canevas de travail pour faire une recherche pratique sur mon utilisation de ces deux techniques, recherche menée en parallèle à des activités de documentation sur leur implémentation en musique acousmatique. Celles-ci ont révélé qu’un nombre très restreint de compositeurs et de pédagogues se sont aventurés à traiter de ce sujet, nommément parce qu’il n’existe aucune vision prescrite ou de norme sur la mise en oeuvre de ces techniques en acousmatique. La plupart des sources d’information substantielles sur le sujet du mixage et du matriçage proviennent du monde de la production audio commerciale. Ce faisant, je me suis inspiré des moyens de production usités pour la création sonore en film et en musique populaire. En démontrant comment ces recherches ont influencé mon propre travail de composition électroacoustique, je souhaite pallier un manque d’information sur les sujets du mixage et du matriçage en acousmatique et offrir une perspective originale aux compositeurs qui s’intéressent à ces pratiques. / Over the course of my Masters and in my musical practice at large, mixing and mastering have been the two most prominent compositional techniques featured in my electroacoustic pieces. Composing these electroacoustic pieces served as the framework for a practical research on my use of mixing and mastering, a project which also included documentational research on their implementation in acousmatic music. The research revealed that only a small number of composers and pedagogues had written about this topic, mostly because there is no prescribed vision or standard regarding the implementation of these techniques in acousmatic. Most of the substantial sources of information regarding mixing and mastering can be found in the realm of commercial audio production. Thus, I was inspired by the means of production used for the sound design in movies and pop music. By showing how this research has inspired my own electroacoustic compositions, I wish to fill an informational void on the subject of mixing and mastering in acousmatic music and to offer a fresh perspective to composers who are interested in these practices.

[pt] O presente trabalho tem como objetivo estudar a cultura de fãs no Rio de Janeiro, suas formas de comunicação e de interação com a cidade. Este estudo também se concentra em entender de que maneira os fãs percebem seus ídolos, uma vez que estes se apresentam perante a sociedade e a mídia, muitas vezes, como seres superiores e/ou indefectíveis. O ato de ser fã é um fenômeno já bastante investigado por alguns teóricos e, por outro lado, carrega significados, por vezes, pejorativos, quando tratado pelo senso comum e por alguns contextos midiáticos. Utilizando a abordagem dos estudos subculturais em uma etnografia foi possível constatar que o impacto das divas do pop estudadas, Lady Gaga e Beyoncé, em suas respectivas fandoms, Little Monsters e Beyhive, dá-se em âmbitos não só de entretenimento, mas, acima de tudo, subjetivos. A cultura de fãs atua como criadora de grupos sociais altamente organizados no mundo digital e no mundo real, capazes de promoverem bem-estar e debates políticos e ideológicos de forma a estimular a reflexão sobre as minorias às quais pertencem e a luta contra os mais diversos tipos de discriminação sofridos pelos participantes das fandoms. / [en] This work aims to study the culture of fans in Rio de Janeiro, its forms of communication and interaction with the city. This study also focuses on understanding how fans perceive their idols, once they present themselves to society and the media, often as superior or indefectible beings. The act of being a fan is already investigated by researchers and on the other hand carries some meanings that sometimes are pejoratives while handled by the common sense and also by some mediatic contexts. By using the subculture studies approach in an etnography it was possible to verify that the impact of the studied pop divas, Lady Gaga and Beyoncé, on their respective fandoms, Little Monsters and Beyhive, takes place not only in the entertainment area, but also in a very subjective way. The fan cultures acts as the creator of highly organized social groups both in the digital and in the real world, promoting not only their well-being, but also political and ideological debates, in order to stimulate reflection on the minorities to which they belong to, and the fight against the most diverse types of discrimination suffered by participants of the fandoms.

Relations and interactions between the music created in the music industry dynamics and the culture of the image, as well as with the expansion of the registers and documents of process of music, from the eletronic record to the video, are established. Pop music refers to that of the Culture Industry, of media insertion, especially mass media, such as the radio, the cinema and the television, and their production is seen as a wide creative network. The documentary Let it Be, by the British group The Beatles, filmed in 1969 and released in 1970, was chosen as case study and, from the processes critique approach and based on the theories of the work of art creative networks, by Cecília Almeida Salles, it is understood as register and index of the collective process of creation of the band. The movie is considered, from this perspective, a precursor of the audiovisual format known today as the making of and, based on their critical analysis, different moments and points of tension are recognised during the creation and recording of an album, nods of the pop music network. We seek to understand how the interactions among their members, the creative subjects, as well as with external factors to that specific process, characterized the collective process of creation of the group at that stage of their career / A seguinte dissertação pretende investigar o processo de criação da música pop a partir do estudo do formato audiovisual como registro de processo de criação musical, em particular, o gênero cinematográfico documentário e o formato audiovisual making of. São estabelecidas relações e interações entre a música criada na dinâmica da indústria fonográfica e a cultura da imagem, bem como com a expansão dos registros e documentos de processo da música desde a gravação eletrônica até o vídeo. Denomina-se música pop aquela da Indústria Cultural, de inserção nas mídias, especialmente as de massa, como o rádio, o cinema e a televisão e sua produção é vista como uma grande rede criativa. O documentário Let it Be, do grupo britânico The Beatles, filmado em 1969 e lançado em 1970, foi escolhido como estudo de caso e, a partir da abordagem da crítica de processos e da teoria das redes de criação da obra de arte, de Cecília Almeida Salles, é entendido como registro e índice do processo de criação coletivo da banda. O filme é considerado, nesta perspectiva, um precursor do formato audiovisual hoje denominado making of e, a partir da sua análise crítica, são reconhecidos diferentes momentos e pontos de tensão durante a criação e gravação de um álbum, nós das redes de criação da música pop. Procura-se entender como as interações entre seus integrantes, os sujeitos criativos, bem como com fatores externos àquele processo específico, caracterizavam o processo de criação coletivo da banda naquele ponto da carreira

「音樂」或「歌」在台灣原住民的生活中有著特殊的文化位置，在「原住民文學」發展之際也屢屢成為難以分割的元素，而在書面文字以外龐大的原住民口傳文學中，音樂或歌曲更是有著舉足輕重的地位。在歌手巴布狄倫（Bob Dylan）獲頒諾貝爾文學獎的今日，不但代表了歌曲文本在俗文學與典範文學中的壁壘再度被挑戰，「流行音樂」所牽扯到的全球架構之流行文化、娛樂產業與庶民生活價值等面向也開始被一併地以「文學」觀點討論。本論文從「口傳文學」與「流行音樂」兩個領域出發，並以唱片公司跨國整併以及在地意識、多元文化價值蓬勃的九零年代台灣為關鍵的時間點，探討「原住民流行音樂」如何成其面貌，以及當中具代表性的可能因素與類型特質。本研究的思考軸線，從「他者」的書寫、「認同」的建構到「差異」類型的成形，在這個演進過程中，當代西方理論的發展已經顯示了一條清楚的路線，它不但可以是個體生命歷程的縮影，與台灣原住民族的近百年來的族群經驗也密切地吻合。本論文首先以認同經驗的層次來檢視原住民「傳唱歌謠」所反映的時代社會性質，以及當中屬於口傳文化「集體性」的展現，並探討傳唱歌謠進入流行音樂框架中的銜接處所產生的關鍵性質差異。其次，討論九零年代的台灣音樂環境，分別從產業、創作製作和文化三個面向進行考察，嘗試描繪出原住民流行音樂成形的狀態。最後，以「流行音樂」的研究觀點來對原住民流行音樂的實際案例進行分析，包含其核心價值與邊界形式的討論，也與全球脈絡中的其他「口傳」族群音樂成其音樂類型並影響主流流行音樂的案例進行對比參照。在這些大主題與「歷史敘事學」（Historical Narratology）式的分析考察中，本文企圖勾勒出原住民流行音樂作為一種音樂類型，在其差異脈絡中的「差異自主性」，相對應於口傳文學「集體性」與某種他者印象中「原住民性」之觀看軸線，作為未來對原住民音樂或其他流行音樂類型可嘗試的一種研究思路與音樂經驗的印證方式。 / The “Music” or “Singing” has a special position in Taiwan’s aboriginal culture. It is not only an indispensable element in the development of “Aboriginal literature” but also very important in the vast indigenous oral literature beyond written languages. Nowadays, Bob Dylan won the Nobel Prize for Literature as a singer songwriter. It indicates that the steady state of the “songs” between popular literature and classic literature once again been challenged or eliminated, while it also points out that the points of view that popular culture, entertainment industrial, and common people’s life as well as Pop-music are feasible to be part of “literature”. To discuss the reason why “Taiwanese Aboriginal Pop-Music” became a type and how it worked, the thesis starts from the idea of two field, which is “oral literature” and "popular music”. In the year of 90s in Taiwan when the record companies were consolidated across different countries and the booming of the local awareness of the music and the multi-culturalism were as the key successful factors at that time. The axis of this study is the development that from the description of “Others”, the construction of “Identity” to the formation of “difference categories”. It demonstrated clearly in the development of western contemporary theories. It is not only a microcosm of the life course of an individual, but also closely corresponds to the ethnic experience of the indigenous people in Taiwan over the past centuries. First,this dissertation research the social in natures of the periods reflected by aboriginal "oral folk songs” and the “Collectivity” of oral culture among them with the difference levels of identity experience. Then, I explored the key properties that arose when the oral folk songs entering the interface of pop-music. Second, to depict the formation of aboriginal pop-music, I discussed the music environment in Taiwan’s 90s according to three aspects of views, which are industry, creative production and cultural. At last, I analyzed the actual cases of the aboriginal pop-music by the theoretical perspective of “Pop-Music” research, which contains the discussions of its core values and boundary. It also been compared with the cases of other "oral" ethnic music globally, that formed the genre of music and influences mainstream pop music. In these wide range of topics and the research in the light of “Historical Narratology”, I tried to contoured a possible way to research the indigenous music or other music types and to express personal music experience. It depends on the aboriginal pop music, as a music type, has its own “Differential Autonomy” in its context, corresponding to the “Collectivity” of oral literature and the “Aboriginality” from “Others”.

Text in English with abstracts in English, isiZulu and Xhosa / Page numbering of table of contents inconsistent with dissertation. Appendix A : Full transcription only of Tip toe by Lacey May / What is it about the vocal melodies of popular music that make you want to listen again and again? This music-theoretical study applies principles of Gestalt psychology and theories of expectation to a study of melodic hooks in 21st-century popular music. The hypothesis tested here is that melodic hooks are a vital element in “catchiness”. Transcription and analysis of melodies by major recording artists is used to explore the note-to-note basis for melodic hooks. The analysis of recordings by Adele, Carly Rae Jepsen, Pharrell Williams and Robin Thicke shows how factors of repetition, familiarity, simplicity, resolution, ambiguity of key, and expectation all contribute to the sense of catchiness in music. A listener-response study was used to test the experience of catchiness in the case studies, and corroborates the hypothesis that catchiness depends principally on expectation as an overarching factor. The study also uses auto-ethnographic reflection on the practice of song-writing to give insight into strategies for creating catchy popular songs. The experience of composing a pop song, and releasing it on air, provides unique insight into the artistic process. The results of all these studies show that the perceptual principle of expectation is a crucial factor in the experience of catchiness. / Ingabe yini eyenza iminkenenezo yomculo odumile ikukhange futhi ikuhehe ufise ukuwulalela kaninginingi?

This study aims to discern and assess Theodor Adorno’s theories on music as an ‘art’ and how it impacts both the political and social landscape of society; more broadly, the purposes of this paper is to identify, and determine the significance of, the relationship between music and politics – that is, whether or not, and how, music can emancipate society from capitalist enslavement. In juxtaposing Adorno’s theories, the opinions of Herbert Marcuse will be discussed as well. As both theorists are considered integral to the creation and development of critical theory of the Frankfurt School, it is only logical to examine their theories and ideologies in detail to determine the role of music as an ‘art’ in the overarching scheme of political scaffolding within which society resides. / Thesis / Master of Arts (MA)

In der Arbeit wird das Zusammentreffen der aus dem Club kommenden Electronic Dance Music (EDM) mit dem massenmedial konsolidierten Musikvideo untersucht. Diskutiert wird die These eines ästhetischen Paradigmenwechsels, der sich dadurch im Musikvideo vollzieht. Dieser beruht vor allem auf der musikalischen Figur des instrumentalen, modularen Tracks, die sich signifikant von der des Songs unterscheidet. Der originäre Zweck des Musikvideos, den Auftritt des Interpreten auf dem Monitor zu visualisieren, steht also mit dem Track zur Disposition oder wird gar obsolet; das erfordert neue Strategien der Bebilderung. Teil I und II der Arbeit verorten Musikvideo und EDM im wissenschaftlichen Diskurs und versammeln die jeweiligen ästhetischen Attribute. In Teil III wird anhand der Club Visuals die Beziehung von Tracks und Bildern erörtert, um darüber die veränderte Klang-Bild-Konstellation im Musikvideo durch EDM herzuleiten. In Teil IV werden die Erkenntnisse anhand der Fallstudie, dem Musikvideo „Windowlicker“ von Aphex Twin (Musik) und Chris Cunningham (Regie) aus dem Jahr 1999 ausgewertet und angewendet. Die Arbeit möchte die Dimension der ästhetischen Studien um das Musikvideo erweitern und verdeutlichen, wie sich das Musikvideo auch unter veränderten klanglichen Bedingungen als unentbehrlicher Bestandteil der Aufführung von Popmusik in der Monitorkultur erweist und als künstlerisches Genre unbedingt ernst zu nehmen ist, da sich in ihm zeitgenössische Avantgarden abbilden können. / This thesis explores the relationship between Electronic Dance Music (EDM) which originated in clubs, and the mass media consolidated music video. Focussing on how EDM influences the music video, an aesthetic paradigm shift on the latter is discussed. This change stemmed mainly from the structure of the instrumental, modular EDM track, which is significantly different from the structure of the song. Originally, the music video was intended as way of visualising the performance of the artist on the monitor; however, the advent of instrumental EDM tracks posed critical problems for this approach, and arguably renders it obsolete. New strategies of illustrations are required. Parts I and II of this thesis analyse music video and EDM through scientific discourses in an attempt to define their respective aesthetic attributes. In part III the relationship between tracks and images in club visuals is discussed in order to illustrate the singularity of this dialogue. In part IV, conclusions from the foregoing sections are evaluated and applied to a study of “Windowlicker” by British artist Aphex Twin, the video to which was directed by Chris Cunningham in 1999. The purpose of this thesis is to extend the aesthetic studies of the music video to clarify its status as an essential part of popular music in monitor culture. As an artistic genre it has to be taken seriously because it can display contemporary avant-gardes.
