Depending on their musical and geographic histories, as well as their career goals, these artists navigate a national music industry that takes interest in and rewards representations of national music, regional identity, and genre hybridity, often in combination with one another. While these market pressures occasionally intersect with the artists’ aesthetic demands, this article focuses on the way such pressures are negotiated and reflected in the music of these midstream musicians. The article centers on the interactions between musicians and a competitive bidding process known as an edital, with a particular focus on Natura Musical, the edital administered by the cosmetics company Natura. Within such interactions, Brazilian-ness (or brasilidade) is considered as a pluralistic, market-driven notion and less a strict aesthetic choice or sonic characteristic.","PeriodicalId":43525,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Popular Music Studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47043663","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For scholars affiliated with colleges and universities, the beginning and end of the academic year mark, among other things, a relation to time—news of and experience with an initiation/continuation/conclusion of a teaching and/or service appointment, the start or close of a sabbatical, the temporalities of course prep/lectures/student hours, etc.—as well as a relation to labor, and especially embodied labor—the stress, fatigue, excitement, passion, and, at times, trauma associated with teaching and service. And it is often under these, and other, conditions that scholars navigate the academy and (re)imagine our relationship to it. We bring all of this...

While multisensory integration is a burgeoning field, accessible texts and reviews are lacking. There haven’t been analyses that apply the findings from the field of multisensory integration to real media objects. Drawing on neuroscience studies, this article explores the concept of Bayesian predictions (a viewer’s experience of a present event weighted against previous experiences); the ways neuroscience explains color, size and placement, and emotion work; and processes such as the inverse effectiveness (when neurons boost both lower-res and higher-res signals, with the most perceptible often for sound), super-additive multisensory effects, the attentional blink, the ventriloquist effect, congruence and incongruity, memory, distractors, sound before image and vice versa, and other features. A conversation with the color grader for “Shinigami Eyes” helps fill things in. This article emerges from a belief that modules on neuroscience and industry studies can be incorporated as components of media study courses, and that neuroscience-informed analyses can facilitate interest and engagement with close readings.","PeriodicalId":43525,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Popular Music Studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47231760","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This particular approach—which I refer to with the term “Big Feelings”—produces various feminist affects that are irreducible to any one parameter, but which emerge through a cohesive synthesis of several characteristics. That is, listeners feel this music’s feminist orientations even in the absence of overt references. Primarily performed by Gen-Z musicians, the Big Feelings that these artists articulate must also be read in the context of the successive socio-political crises that are not literally referenced in the music, but which nevertheless inform it. Lyrical analysis of the 2018 single “Cool” shows how Soccer Mommy resonates with but also departs from riot grrrl models, where queer-feminist politics are implied by never stated outright. Harmonic analysis of the same song exemplifies the ways in which Big Feelings expands the sonic palette beyond the two and three note chords typical of masculinized rock music, instead incorporating extensions that track with Susan McClary’s arguments regarding the feminized semiotics of chromaticism. Finally, I read 2020’s “Circle the Drain” alongside excerpted interviews I have conducted with fans of the music, using their words to help corroborate and elaborate my reading of Big Feelings as an orientation that is made meaningful in part because of the traumatic context in which young musicians and fans, permanently in crisis, create spaces of community, catharsis, and care.","PeriodicalId":43525,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Popular Music Studies","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67258305","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
