This reorientation entails close attention to actual performances, their specific medial embeddedness, and their entanglement in concrete formal or informal material conditions. It suggests that rather than a focus on print and writing favoured by theories in the wake of the linguistic turn, performed lyrics and sounds may be better suited to guide the conceptual work. Accordingly, the essay chooses a classic of early twentieth-century digital music - M.I.A.'s 2003/2005 single "Galang" - as its guiding example. It ultimately leads up to a reflection on what Ravi Sundaram coined as "pirate modernity," which challenges us to rethink notions of artistic authorship and authority, hegemony and subversion, culture and theory in the postcolonial world of today.}, language = {en} } @misc{Hoene2016, author = {H{\"o}ne, Christin}, title = {The Musical Novel: Imitation of Musical Structure, Performance and Reception in Contemporary Fiction}, series = {Geophysical research letters}, volume = {97}, journal = {Geophysical research letters}, publisher = {Oxford Univ.

To this end, Oromo-Americans, an ethnic group originally located within the national borders of Ethiopia, will be compared to Armenian-Americans, British-Pakistanis and Somali-Americans. Despite different circumstances, all four groups share the experience of displacement owing to war and destitution. Additionally, all groups are confronted with the ramifications of a visible minority status. In the process of comparing these groups, their degrees of homogeneity in regard to language and religion - central aspects of culture and cultural identity - will be examined and juxtaposed at a macro level. Based on the correlative relationship of group homogeneity and social cohesion, I argue that the more homogeneous a group is in terms of language and religion, the more close-knit it will be. Consequently, exiled minorities who share the same language and religion are more likely to develop and retain a strong ethnic orientation than groups who are heterogeneous with regard to language and/or religion.}, language = {en} } @article{Magagna2016, author = {Magagna, Tony R.}, title = {"Say It Right, Say It Correct": Documenting the American West in The Laramie Project}, series = {Western American Literature}, volume = {51}, journal = {Western American Literature}, publisher = {Utha State University}, address = {Logan}, issn = {0043-3462}, pages = {199 -- 229}, year = {2016}, language = {en} } @misc{Spahn2016, author = {Spahn, Hannah}, title = {Republican, and a Tea Party Fanatic, All the While Being Dead}, series = {The American historical review}, volume = {121}, journal = {The American historical review}, publisher = {Oxford Univ.
