Urban Music : A qualitative empirical study of post-BLM media discourse

Remetancik, Adam January 2021 (has links)
The aim of this thesis is to analyze the difference between post-BLM media discourse surrounding urban music in the US and UK music periodicals. It follows the Interpretivist paradigm, assuming the social constructionist epistemological position, the idealist ontology and the abductive logic of inquiry. The core for the research as well as analysis is the Discourse Theory and its key concepts developed by Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe. It is both applied in a theoretical and methodological manner. The analytical framework is then also enriched by the attempt to use of the postcolonial theory of Orientalism by Edward Said, and his notion of Othering. The tentative conclusion of the study is that the US and UK media articulate signs emerging around the word urban differently, creating different chains of equivalence. However, considering the nations and their histories differ, it is a rather surprising finding that the differences are almost not apparent and only appear if looked upon very closely. Implications of researching the phenomenon of music labeled as urban, even though not directly arising from this particular study, are advancing the awareness behind the complexities of the term urban and its use within various, mostly creative, industries, which may cause setting the wheels slowly in motion towards a possible industrial, or even a societal change.

Efecto de música clásica y urbana para manejar la ansiedad dental en niños atendidos en una clínica universitaria, Chiclayo, 2023

Castro Saavedra, Nadia Alexandra January 2024 (has links)
Objetivo: Comparar el efecto de la música clásica y urbana para manejar la ansiedad dental en niños atendidos en una clínica universitaria, Chiclayo, 2023. Métodos: Estudio explicativo, longitudinal, experimental, con una muestra conformada por 36 participantes. Se incluyeron niños de ambos sexos de 5 a 12 años de edad, que acudieron a la clínica odontológica de la Universidad Católica Santo Toribio de Mogrovejo, los cuales fueron distribuidos de manera aleatoria en 3 grupos de estudio, correspondientes a música clásica, música urbana y grupo control. Se colocaron equipos Mp3 a cada paciente, con la finalidad de identificar el tipo musical idóneo para disminuir situaciones ansiosas, utilizando la Escala de Imagen Facial y parámetros fisiológicos, antes y después del tratamiento dental. Resultados: A pesar de que se observaron mejoras en el nivel de ansiedad presentado por los niños, no se encontraron diferencias significativas en la reducción de la misma, en el grupo de música clásica (p=0.071> 0.05) y en el grupo de música urbana (p=0.414 > 0.05). Conclusión: No se encontraron diferencias relevantes en la disminución del nivel de ansiedad dental durante la atención, al emplear música clásica y urbana; tampoco existieron mejoras significativas en la ansiedad dental al medir los parámetros filológicos de los participantes. / Objective: To compare the effect of classical and urban music on the management of dental anxiety in children attended in a university clinic, Chiclayo, 2023. Methods: Explanatory, longitudinal, experimental study with a sample of 36 patients. Children of both sexes between 5 and 12 years of age who attended the dental clinic of the Universidad Católica Santo Toribio de Mogrovejo were included and were randomly distributed into 3 study groups corresponding to classical music, urban music and a control group. Each patient was fitted with an Mp3 player with the purpose of identifying the ideal type of music to reduce dental anxiety during dental care. Anxiety was assessed using the Facial Image Scale and physiological parameters, before and after dental treatment. Results: Although improvements were observed in the level of anxiety presented by the children, no significant differences were found in the reduction of anxiety in the classical music group (p=0.071 > 0.05) or in the urban music group (p=0.414 > 0.05). Conclusions: No relevant differences were found in the reduction of the level of dental anxiety during dental care when using classical music or urban music; nor were there significant improvements in dental anxiety when measuring the physiological parameters of the participants.

Multiculturalism and the De-politicization of Blackness in Canada: the case of FLOW 93.5 FM

McKenzie, Kisrene 11 December 2009 (has links)
This thesis presents a case study of Canada’s first Black owned radio station, FLOW 93.5 FM, to demonstrate how official multiculturalism, in its formulation and implementation, negates Canada’s history of slavery and racial inequality. As a response to diversity, multiculturalism shifts the focus away from racial inequality to cultural difference. Consequently, Black self-determination is unauthorized. By investigating FLOW’s radio license applications, programming and advertisements, this thesis reveals just how the vision of a Black focus radio station dissolved in order to fit the practical and ideological framework of multiculturalism so that Blackness could be easily commodified. This thesis concludes that FLOW is not a Black radio station but instead is a multicultural radio station – one that specifically markets a de-politicized Blackness. As a result, multiculturalism poses serious consequences for imagining and engaging with Blackness as a politics that may address the needs of Black communities in Canada.
