Dhrupad is believed to be the oldest style of classical vocal music performed today in North India. This detailed study of the genre considers the relationship between the oral tradition, its transmission from generation to generation, and its re-creation in performance. There is an overview of the historical development of the dhrupad tradition and its performance style from the sixteenth to the nineteenth centuries, and of the musical lineages that carried it forward into the twentieth century, followed by analyses of performance techniques, processes and styles. The authors examine the relationship between the structures provided by tradition and their realization by the performer to throw light on the nature of tradition and creativity in Indian music; and the book ends with an account of the ‘revival’ movement of the late twentieth century that re-established the genre in new contexts. Augmented with an analytical transcription of a complete dhrupad performance, this is the first book-length study of an Indian vocal genre to be co-authored by an Indian practitioner and a Western musicologist.

Annotated Bibliography Report 3 - Media Sports Stars: Masculinities and moralities
Name of Author: Garry Whannel
APA 7th https://www.waikato.ac.nz/library/guidance/referencing/apa
Whannel, G. (2001). Media Sport Stars: Masculinities and moralities (1st ed.). Routledge. https://doi.org/10.4324/9780203996263 https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/mono/10.4324/9780203996263/media-sport-stars-garry-whannel
Description - The Source “Media Sports Stars: Masculinities and moralities” is an interesting book written in 2001 that looks into male athletes (George Best, Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson etc.) and how the media has shaped their narrative, and how mortality and masculinity are in crisis. The purpose of the book is to take a look at the different kinds of roles that sport stars get put into, such as Good boy, Bad boy and Pretty boy, and examine how they are role models for how men should act. It's said by the author that it is intended for those who are interested in media studies, or sports being viewed through a social and historical lens.
Analysis - The source is interesting for how it dives into what feels a common staple in everyday life, yet is something that doesn’t get brought up much, talking about how these men carry a huge burden of being role models to not just kids, but to men, and even to some women as well. Gary Wannel is also someone with an impressive line of work in this field of sports and media and still writes about it to this day, his latest book being the third volume in his “Understanding the Olympics” co-written with John Horne in 2020.
Evaluation - The book gave me an interesting angle that I had never thought about in terms of my research question: “What behavioral issues has media representation caused for Masculinity in the 1900s, and what changes have been made to better them for the next generation of boys in the 2000s”. I had never even considered the idea of male celebrities being part of media representation, let alone athletes but it makes a lot of sense for why it does help in the research, as these celebrities will have huge followings that will have some people looking at them as role-models. That being said, the book isn’t solely focused on masculinity and its effects, but more talking about the portrayal of the sport stars and the challenges they had to face. However there are talks of role models here and there, and even has some information on these sport stars being aggressive towards women, and it could be interesting to talk about the consequences of these actions for masculinity in the 1900s

Week 3: Digital Communities and Blogging
For my first blog post, I would like to dive into the vernacular of Tumblr as a platform, and specifically what makes it a digital community. With the constant development of new and improved services, I believe it is important to understand the details of each platform to safely and confidently navigate social media as a whole.
Now, what actually makes Tumblr a digital Community? Before I get ahead of myself, let me explain what a digital community actually is. Also referred to as a 'micro public', digital communities are smaller forms that "co-exist, intersecting, and overlapping" (Bruns & Highfield, 2016, p. 98) in multiple formats across social media platforms. These communities are treated as smaller systems due to there being a larger social community know as the public sphere. While it is questioned whether or not the public sphere exists within the world of social media at all, digital communities are active and present within numerous social media platforms.
Within social media platforms such as Tumblr, there must be digital affordances that create the foundation for this system of communication. The main affordance on Tumblr is hash-tagging, which allows users to search for anything they are interested in and which described by Amanda Brennan can result in "going down the rabbit hole" (McCracken & Brennan, 2020, p. 39). This one search can ultimately result in a deep dive into the depths of a particular topic, uncovering numerous blogging networks, allowing individuals to find their voice and start their own conversations.
To have an effective digital community, you must also have individuals who are willing to communicate, use their voice, and share their stories. Where social media platforms such as Tumblr are more appealing to individuals to contribute to these discussions, is the affordance of anonymity. Unlike platforms such as Facebook, Tumblr allows for individuals to "experiment with marginalised identities" (Keller, 2019, p. 5) to connect with others based on their mutual interests. Therefore, it is easy to conclude that this affordance of anonymity is a large factor in encouraging individuals to form and contribute to digital communities on Tumblr.
To sum up, I believe Tumblr functions as a digital community mostly due to its focus on hash-tagging. Utilising this tool to encourage networking, individuals can connect with others on mutual interests, forming small communities which allow for discussions to occur.

The Esthetics of Encounter: A Relational-Performative Design Approach to Human-Robot Interaction
Petra Gemeinboeck
Department of Media Theory, University of Applied Arts Vienna, Vienna, Austria
Centre for Transformative Media Technologies, School of Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities, Swinburne University of Technology, Melbourne, VIC, Australia
This article lays out the framework for relational-performative esthetics in human-robot interaction, comprising a theoretical lens and design approach for critical practice-based inquiries into embodied meaning-making in human-robot interaction. I explore the centrality of esthetics as a practice of embodied meaning-making by drawing on my arts-led, performance-based approach to human-robot encounters, as well as other artistic practices. Understanding social agency and meaning as being enacted through the situated dynamics of the interaction, I bring into focus a process of bodying-thinging; entangling and transforming subjects and objects in the encounter and rendering elastic boundaries in-between. Rather than serving to make the strange look more familiar, aesthetics here is about rendering the differences between humans and robots more relational....

Week 6 Blog Post Due 9/30/20
How do our social media profiles define our identity?
In the reading “Race in Cyberspace” the authors describes cyberspace as “an environment comprised entirely of 0’s and 1’s; simple binary switches” (pg.1) The process of creating a social media profile typically includes creating a username, password, and attaching an email address with the account for security reasons. However, sometimes these accounts ask for our gender identity, as well as our phone number. Social networks have slowly evolved to include non-binary in the selections of gender identity when you create an account. In social networks such as LinkedIn it is now encouraged to include your preferred gender pronouns as well as in your bio on other social networks. Next, the authors also state how “identity and personality are communicated via language, and demonstrates how race and identity are concretely tied to language” (pg. 6). If you speak a language other then English you are assumed to be of a specific race. An example is if you speak Spanish you are assumed to be Mexican, when that is not always the case because in Spain Spanish is also used but it just has a few differences. Speaking a language such as Spanish leads to the assumption of someone being a specific race and then their personality is then assumed shortly after those connections. However, social media profiles are able to define our gender identity with the use of including our pronouns somewhere on our page. Also, twitter has the option where you can pin a tweet to your profile and you could include the identities you hold! Another example would be to include it in your other social media profiles.
How would you argue video games are contributing towards sexism?
In the reading “Revenge of the Yellow-Faced Cyborg Terminator” the author Jeffery A Ow introduces the audience into cyborgs, and mentions the idea of cyber feminism. However, he states how “the male cyborg continues to march on preestablished pathways of colonization, domination, and destruction through his militarized versions of video games and Nintendo wars” (pg.54). Video games such as Call of Duty are said to be violent because it is categorized as a shooting game. Folks also express how these shooting games contribute to the mass school shootings that have occurred in America. However, these games contribute to sexism in the sense players sometimes do not use the female characters because they believe they are weak. Also, sometimes video game creators purposely make the female characters weaker compared to the male ones. Additionally, video games contribute towards sexism because most young boys who play them do not invite a girl to join them as they believe they are not good to play. This then creates the idea in young boys mind that women should be looked down upon and not included in things. Lastly, the author mentioned how the male cyborg follows the pathway of domination which leads to male users to have the urge to assert their dominance towards women.
If cyber racism exists, why do we continue to push for the advancement of technology?
In the reading “White Supremacy in the Digital Era” the term cyber racism “refers to the range of white supremacist movements in Europe and North America and to the new horizons the Internet and digital media have opened for expression of whiteness across national boundaries” (pg. 4). In terms of technology, we are always looking for something more efficient in order to help us with our everyday tasks. Apple typically releases a new product every year whether it be the iPhone, iPad, or a new macbook. Many people look forward to the release of these products every year and then anxiously wait online to order the new product. Also, even advancements in the way we use social networks is anticipated by frequent users. The rise of new apps like Tiktok or even new updates to popular apps like Twitter which included audio tweets earlier this summer! We continue to push for technology to become more advanced in order to make our user experience more interactive. Also, another reason we push for the advancement of technology is to make our life easier, we want to reduce the amount of time it takes to produce something. It explains why companies want to invest in more machines and less people in order to produce more and at a faster way, also to not worry about spending money on labor. Advancing technology only allows cyber racism to go as we will be even more consumed by technology. The more technology will also lead to even more of a challenge for marginalized communities to gain access to technology. Also, the more technology means more algorithms can be used to target black, indigenous, people of color in various aspects.
How does the advancement of technology redefine gender norms? Or does it enforce them?
The STEM field (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) is still predominately made up of males. However, over time women have made progress in becoming more involved in the STEM field. According to the reading “Race in Cyberspace” the author states “technology provokes us to carry new gender formations into our daily life” (pg.7). An example is Apple updating the personal assistant “Siri” to have the option between the program being male or female. It broke the stereotype of women being assistants to men. However, Amazon making the smart assistant named Alexa, does enforce the idea that women are to be assistants. Also, in media such as the tv show Good Trouble the character Marina is one of the two women in the entire tech company after graduating from MIT she struggles to be taken seriously by her male co-workers. The advancement of technology enforces the gender norms by not including more women. Also by assuming that women are in the “wrong” place if they are working with technology.

How Many Cultures?
Produced by: Catherine Charlwood (@DrCharlwood) and Laura Ludtke (@lady_electric).
Music composed and performed by Gareth Jones.
Listen here on Anchor
About this episode:
In episode three of the first series, Laura and Catherine are joined by a special guest: Dr Will Tattersdill (@WillTattersdill), Senior Lecturer in Popular Literature at the University of Birmingham. In addition to discussing #litsci aspects of his research and teaching, Will also explores disciplinary boundaries, science fiction, dinosaurs in science and culture (including Dinotopia!), the status of popular literature in the university, and the importance of education and outreach.
Do dinosaurs have culture (and science)? ‘Dinosaur Parade’ by James Gurney from Dinotopia.
At the end of the episode, you can hear Will read the end of H. G. Wells’s novel The Time Machine (1895).
About Dr Will Tattersdill:
Dr Will Tattersdill is Senior Lecturer in Popular Literature in the Department of English Literature at the University of Birmingham. After taking his first degree at the University of Exeter and second at Exeter College, University of Oxford, Will undertook his PhD at King's College London. His monograph Science, Fiction, and the Fin-de-Siècle Periodical Press was published by Cambridge University Press in 2016, and has published a variety of academic articles on nineteenth-century literature and culture. Will is interested in the relationship between literature and science, especially as it is figured in popular culture from the nineteenth century to the present. His current work is on the social history of dinosaurs over this period and he was recently awarded an AHRC Leadership Fellowship, for the project 'Narrativising Dinosaurs', of which he is principal investigator. Perhaps of most interest for this episode, Will co-edited the second of the double special issue between the Journal of Literature and Science and its American counterpart, Configurations, on The State of the Unions, to see where we are with the two cultures debate today. Alongside his own scholarly research, Will has a keen interest in access and outreach work.

How Does Tumblr Function as a Digital Community?
Many of us have ingratiated social media platforms into our daily lives. It seems, other than when washing, working, or sleeping, we engage in some way with the digital communities that we are a part of. Participation in these networks is not simply a matter of being in or out; on or off (Boyd 2012). Social media has transformed the traditional public sphere into a complex system of publics which intersect, overlap, and co-exist at various levels and for different lifespans within society (Bruns & Highfield 2015).
Networking and sharing information with others are assumed parts of participation in the modern world (Boyd 2012). Thus, our engagement with social media platforms becomes less a question of whether we are part of these digital communities. Rather, of how individuals choose to brand, curate, and display themselves, and determining which best highlight and express these marketable elements by leveraging each platform’s affordances (McCosker 2017; Scolere, Pruchniewska & Duffy 2018).
Tumblr affords its users commensurably greater creative freedom than other platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. This is achieved through the level of customization, personalization, and richness of content it provides. With this creative freedom, comes the attraction of individuals who not only seek to express themselves, but to develop their own identity through the assumed norms and values of the Tumblr community, and by producing content which strengthens the community as a whole (Mousavi, Roper & Keeling 2017).
Perhaps Tumblr’s biggest strength lies in its hybrid characteristics of social networking, traditional blogosphere, and social media (Chang et al. 2014). Furthermore, Tumblr is particularly popular among teens and young adults interested in self-expression, while density and connectedness among these users is much higher than traditional blogs (average distance of 4.7 users between every 2) (Smith 2013; Chang et al. 2014).
In relation to social and political engagement, Tumblr provides individuals a degree of privacy in tandem with mutual connectedness to drive movements and collective responses to social concerns. For example, Tumblr has gained a reputation as a feminist-friendly space where in-depth dialogue can be cultivated in relation to issues such as intersectionality, patriarchy, and protest (Keller 2019).
This is another aspect which makes Tumblr unique amidst other social platforms. Individuals are free to display aspects of themselves and engage with a range of interests and issues which may not be revealed among close friends and family. While this seems positive for public discourse, Tumblr has also attracted criticism for promotion of self-harm, pornographic, and white supremacist material forcing the social network to impose content bans to make it more difficult to access such content (Eveleth 2013; Rosenberg 2018).
With its popularity and attributes as a digital community, comes many of the same threats which all social networks must face in this novel digital age. As, these platforms have emerged from within a broader culture and are inescapably subject to the societal and cultural influences which drive them.

Doing and Undergoing: An Inquiry in Process
For this inquiry, I asked “What happens when I attend to process as I think about jewelry-making as researching?” To answer, I read; thought about how material, theory, and research method/ology become-together in the “doing...and undergoing” of art (Coemans, Vandenabeele & Hannes, 2019); memoed; made jewelry; and mapped. The result--four jewelry pieces and a map--are reflective and analytic representations of my evolving understanding. Their significance is largely personal: they portray my voyage so far in embracing process and experimenting with what research and my art-making could become.
The first piece, Thirdness, explores Manning & Massumi’s (2014, p. 56) concept of the third, the theory that an “inexpressable thirdness” results from the merging of two entities. As I threaded two wires in and out, I played with how two could become three. How, when allowed to become-together, jewelry-making and research produce something in excess of either. The second piece, Flight, is borne from the material conditions of this-place-in-time-and-space during COVID-19, when I was forced to look outside (literally and metaphorically) for materials to use in making jewelry. As I made, the winged seed evoked an idea, embodying the “liveliness” (Myers, 2017, p. 4) of matter whereby an art/object exceeds its boundaries, becoming event and co-producer (Goulish [2000] in Adams & Holman-Jones, 2017/2019). The third piece, (It’s a) Necklace playfully explores the boundaries of what jewelry is/could be. If we typically recognize jewelry by its content (e.g., gemstones), what would it mean to instead recognize jewelry by the process of its making? As I rolled, folded and glued, I asked what such a process-oriented ontology may open up for my jewelry/research. The fourth and final piece, Collective happening, experiments with the process and potentials of making-together. Initially, I planned an unfinished piece with an invitation for participation. Instead, 31 people provided 31 actions and materials from lists of possibilities. I assembled the piece from these directions.
The last component of the inquiry is a map that documents the journey through this inquiry. It includes ideas that I took up, sketches, and paths that I tried before abandoning. In this way, it functions as a collage: a bricolage with no entry-point (Scotti & Chilton, 2017/2019), providing the viewer the opportunity to wander the landscape of fragments and make connections across ideas and artifacts. In this way, it prolongs the process, inviting the viewer to continue the thinking-making of the research.

Morbid Curiosity and the History of the Audience
The Execution of Charles I
Charles I was King of England, Scotland and Ireland from March of 1625 until his execution in January of 1649. Due to his belief in the Divine Right of Kings, Charles’ rule was filled with quarrel with the English Parliament. In 1642, Charles fought in the English Civil War, was defeated and refused to accept the demands of a constitutional monarchy from his captors. As a result, Charles was tried and convicted for high treason, eventually to be sentenced to a public beheading. In Graham Edwards’ The Last Days of Charles I, he claimed that it was common practice for the severed heads of traitors to be held up and exhibited to the crowd, which did happen in the case of Charles. In a description of his execution, the former King was said to have been led by guards to a scaffold erected in front of the banquet house, where a crowd of spectators were separated by the soldiers in attendance (Carlton, 1995). During the Middle Ages public torture and execution was common, often being regarded as an acceptable form of punishment. The nature and severity of the crime suggested the amount of pain inflicted on the offender. There were few rights given to prisoners, and executions became a widespread, unregulated event attended by large, jeering crowds despite the gruesome nature (History TV, n.d.).
Morbid Curiosity?
Why tune into such a gruesome act?
Of course, it’s evident that forms of entertainment in the medieval era are slimmer than what we are presented with today. There was no television, no movies, and lower literacy rates, so what else to do then go out and witness the beheading of your current monarch? Can we actually attribute the large crowds of spectators to the fact that there was just simply, “nothing else to do”, or can we interpret this audience behaviour from a different perspective? Perhaps, we can study the topic of morbid curiosity, a term defined as “an aspect of curiosity that be seen as focused on objects of death and/or violence.” The term is not new, and dates back to Aristotle who states, “[We] enjoy contemplating the most precise images of things whose sight is painful to us.”
From the Middle Ages to Today’s Society
Though accounts from medieval audiences may be hard to cite, we can understand that these early forms of audiences were the beginning stages in the same type of fascination we have today. Our understanding of early audiences would describe events such as an execution, especially one of such a high status figure as Charles I, as organized and planned, collocated in time and space, and roles of authors, performers and spectators being outlined and defined. Of course the performers in this sense taking on a sadistic meaning, with the executioner and the traitor both playing huge, yet presumably unwanted, roles. Thanks to the expansion of technology, unmediated, or smaller, audiences have shifted to mediated ones. From thousands co-located in space to millions around the world co-located in time.
Reddit, a site often popular for some of the controversial content posted, and subreddits such as r/MorbidCuriosity, r/WatchPeopleDie, r/5050 and r/Gore, as the titles suggest, focus heavily, if not entirely on subjects that the morbidly curious would be drawn to. This curiosity itself of these gruesome, often despicable acts may have not changed, as it is apparent that this has been a form of entertainment for thousands of years. Yet, the accessibility has increased with the shift of small to large, digital audiences. Have our motivations for witnessing these events changed? I would argue not, as even these early audiences had choice in whether they should consume such frightful scenes, as we now have choice with other forms of entertainment provided to us. We can simply say that human curiosity and the accumulation of audience viewership have not changed. Morbid curiosity is a decades-old source of entertainment, where audience’s fulfillment of the subject has only been heightened in the wake of the digital era.
As Eric G. Wilson, a Professor of English at Wake Forest University describes,
"The morbidity of sorrow is often a productive sluggishness, a time when the soul slows down, too weary to go on, and takes stock of where it's been and where it's going. During these gloomy pauses, we often discover parts of ourselves we never knew we possessed, talents that, properly activated, enrich our lives.

Changes in The Gatekeeping of Political Information
The advent of digitalization in the late 1980s has ensured that the media landscape has evolved and diversified at a rate previously unknown. The reliance on traditional news media outlets has been replaced by the internet, which provides an ecosystem of almost endless information, visual content and choice (Picard, 2009). Due to this, the professional journalists’ role as hegemonic gatekeeper of political information has been disrupted, challenged by not only revolutionary upgrades in technology in recent decades, but also the non-professional audience it serves (Bowman & Willis, 2003).
Ordinary citizens are now able to create, distribute and exhibit content through the expansion of interactive and networked platforms such as YouTube, Facebook and Twitter (Tewksbury and Rittenburg, 2012). As a result, these platforms have allowed for more individualised styles of engagement and civic participation (Bennett, 2008) as well creating new genres of political information (Hussain, 2012). A good example would be Steven Crowder, a popular content creator whose YouTube channel has amassed over 3.7 million subscribers and his videos over 820 million views as of May 2019. His mix of right-wing politics, news and pop culture, infused with satire and comedic content, has helped create a large community of like-minded individuals who can comment on and curate what political topics can be discussed in future videos. These can even be shared beyond its intended audience, prompting more debate and inclusion of people who would not be able to participate 50 years ago. Steven’s channel exemplifies how technology has diversified the gatekeeping and distribution of political information beyond standard journalism, as well as how digital media environments are more receptive in nurturing citizen’s’ personalised engagement style in politics; something which traditional mass media agencies have long denied them of (Hussain, 2012).
So we have seen how online platforms allow alternative online actors to co-produce and co-distribute content alongside journalists and the mainstream media. We can go one step further however, and show how the non-professional can actively work alongside or even replace the professional political journalist. Bruns (2005) once claimed ‘citizen journalism’ was merely commentary, opinion of evaluation of events, but I would argue this is outdated and falls far short in describing current contributions to political information and action by non-hierarchical groups and ordinary citizens. In 2018, a citizen investigation site called Bellingat managed to successfully identify two Russian men suspected of releasing a deadly nerve agent in the quiet cathedral town of Salisbury; deployed to assassinate a former Russian military officer Sergei Skripal. Eliot Higgins, a former blogger and founder of the site, was able to uncover the men’s relationship to GRU, Russia’s Main Intelligence Directorate who convicted Skripal of high treason in 2004, through analysing Russian news and open sources online. GRU also happen to be the same organisation which had 12 officers indicted by US special prosecutor Robert Meuller, who found them to have hacked into computers of the Clinton campaign during the recent presidential elections.
Whilst this highlights the power and potential of citizen journalism, it also exposes the inadequacies of traditional mainstream journalism and government agencies in failing to identify and stops these types of attacks. I would argue that media professionals and politicians need to re-evaluate and reposition themselves within this new networked landscape, as I believe communication and the relationship between elites and citizens has swapped from horizontal to vertical (Aalberg et al., 2016); one that promotes democracy and can help identify and combat certain crises.
