Download or read book Words Music and Propaganda written by Tjaša Mohar and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2023-12-20 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Music is used to sell everything from cars to political candidates. How can words and melody so successfully manipulate us? This volume provides answers by examining the ways in which music of various genres, including folk, popular music, rock, and rap, is used to protest and to promote structures of political, commercial, and religious authority. Students, teachers, musicians, historians, policy makers, and fans of music and popular culture will find answers to questions such as: How does music help to build national identity, foster a sense of patriotism, and reflect changes in society? What role did music play in building socialism in Czechoslovakia and in Belarus’ 2020 democratic movement? What are the most important features of Ukrainian songs of resistance? The book highlights the role of music in the feminist movement by analysing the Riot Grrrl movement and the history of Olivia Records, as well as the use of music as propaganda in the education system and as “purity propaganda” in religion. Two chapters focus on famous American protest singers, Woody Gurthie and Phil Ochs, and one highlights an ex-socialist society’s response to David Bowie’s music.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For readers who intend to read this volume without reading the ftrst, some introductory remarks are in order about the scope of the work and the strategy used in all ftve volumes to measure the quality of life. In the ftrst chapter of Volume I, I reviewed the relevant recent literature on social indicators and social reporting, and explained all the general difficulties involved in such work. It would be redundant to repeat that discussion here, but there are some fundamental points that are worth mentioning. Readers who fmd this account too brief should consult the longer discussion. The basic question that will be answered in this work in this: Is there a difference in the quality of life in Canada and the United States of America, and if so, in which country is it better? Alternatively, one could put the question thus: If one individual were randomly selected out of Canada and another out of the United States, would there be important qualitative differences, and if so, which one would probably be better off? To simplify matters, I often use the terms 'Canadian' and 'American' as abbreviations for 'a randomly selected resident' of Canada or the United States, respectively.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Don't wait until tomorrow for the life you want today. Dr. Creflo A. Dollar illuminates eight steps to the magnificent life you crave! Confidence, peace, and abundant life -- we all long for these things. In this life-changing book, author and renowned pastor Dr. Creflo A. Dollar challenges readers to stop wishing for a satisfying life. Instead, Dr. Dollar proclaims, we should be claiming the success that God promises today. We do not have to be defined by past failures or mediocrity; we must move forward into the richness available to us right now. God has designed a glorious destiny for each of us, and all we have to do is take hold of it. In order to seize our destiny, each of us must be willing to radically transform our lives. "If you don't like the way you feel," says Dollar, "you've got to change the way you think." By taking manageable steps along the way, each of us can achieve life to the fullest -- until it overflows.
Download or read book When Television was Young written by Paul Rutherford and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 1990-01-01 with total page 676 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A decade after the first Canadian telecasts in September 1952, TV had conquered the country. Why was the little screen so enthusiastically welcomed by Canadians? Was television in its early years more innovative, less commerical, and more Canadian than current than current offerings? In this study of what is often called the 'golden age' of television, Paul Rutherford has set out to dispel some cherished myths and to resurrect the memory of a noble experiment in the making of Canadian culture. He focuses on three key aspects of the story. The first is the development of the national service, including the critical acclaim won by Radio-Canada, the struggles of the CBC's English service to provide mass entertainment that could compete with the Hollywood product, and the effective challenge of private television to the whole dream of public broadcasting. The second deals with the wealth of made-in-Canada programming available to please and inform vviewers - even commercials receive close attention. Altogether, Rutherford argues, Canadian programming reflected as well as enhanced the prevailing values and assumptions of the mainstream. The final focus is on McLuhan's Question: What happens to society when a new medium of communications enters the picture? Rutherford's findings cast doubt upon the common presumptions about the awesome power of television. Television in Canada, Rutherford concludes, amounts to a failed revolution. It never realized the ambbitions of its masters or the fears of its critics. Its course was shaped not only by the will of the government, the power of commerce, and the empire of Hollywood, but also by the desires and habits of the viewers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Try to uncover the truth before forming misconceptions about people based on prejudice, ignorance, or cliches. What constitutes Hip Hop Culture? Hiphop is a refined way of living. It's a global civilization. What influences its language, cuisine, and entrepreneurial drive? How did Hip Hop originate, and who were its earliest trailblazers? Why does it face prejudice? Is playing loud rap music or creating diss tracks enough to be considered a Hiphoppa? Does rapping imply a degenerate? Who is a skilled lyricist? What does cultural graffiti represent? Who is considered a DeeJay? Do fans, Emcees, and adherents of Hip Hop always have to conform to criminal, exploitative, and rebellious archetypes? Those who listen to rap are devoted to hip hop; above all, TRUE Hip Hop enthusiasts embrace it as life! Prejudices against those who embody Hip Hop's Cultural mindset reveal a narrow-mindedness on their part. But what are the harmful aspects of this global community? Do they include misogyny, homophobia, materialism, and chaos? How does the origin of all things black tie into Hip Hop's cultural heritage? Is it accurate to say that individuals who turn to a life of crime are a product of social and economic marginalization stemming from poverty caused by racism and discrimination? Can Hip Hop be a form of political and social activism? In a multi-billion-dollar global music, fashion, and commerce industry, the lifestyle associated with this Culture, rooted in the inner cities and suburbs of New York, Los Angeles, London, and Paris, has spread worldwide. How can rap lyrics accurately depict their communities' living circumstances without promoting death and destruction? The author explores this philosophical work of art by possessing a precise understanding and consciousness of these realities. "Hip Hop Kru Zade: Path Beyond Cliches'," the 50th Anniversary Edition of Hip Hop, has been reissued by Badson Publishing and Swift Nightz Music Society. This re-edited, and revamped edition is in collaboration with the African Book Collective and was published in Berlin, Germany. As he has done previously, the author, Wilfred "Freddy Will" Kanu Jr., has published this title along with the accompanying studio album, "Laboramus Expectantes," to coincide with its release. This epic paperback is not only a striking addition to any bookcase or living room decor but also a faithful retelling of the Hip Hop Culture's history, evolution, and principles, as seen through the eyes of Freddy Will —an indispensable must-read for die-hard Hip Hop fans and truth-seekers looking to delve into this ever-changing civilization.
