The caesura in musical production caused by recent global lockdowns has made contemporary music’s crisis of societal relevancy more apparent than ever. Bringing together interviews with music curators, musicians, activist networks and institutional leaders, this book details existing practices and approaches, showing that change is possible but only if the recent wave of interest in curatorial practices, diversity and divestment from a white, European bourgeois aesthetic are taken seriously by the musical establishment. This expanded second edition of Taking the Temperature adds a new preface, five new interviews, as well as followups with previous interviewees. Radiating out from the Ultima Festival and Oslo, ..

Leonard Cohen's troubled relationship with God is here mapped onto his troubled relationships with sex and politics. Analysing Covenantal theology and its place in Cohen's work, this book is the first to trace a consistent theology across sixty years of Cohen's writing, drawing on his Jewish heritage and its expression in his lyrics and poems.Cohen's commitment to covenant, and his anger at this God who made us so prone to failing it, undergird the faith, frustration, and sardonic taunting of Cohen's work. Both his faith and ire are traced through: · Cohen's unorthodox use of Jewish and Christian imagery · His writings about women, politics, and the Holocaust · His final theology, You Want It Darker, released three weeks before his death.

En plus d’offrir un portrait des productions culturelles queer au Québec tant francophones qu’anglophones, dont certaines autochtones, cet ouvrage s’attarde à révéler le caractère queer de celles qui ne le sont pas de facto. Il se présente comme un manuel de référence sur le sujet, avec des essais critiques – qui portent autant sur la littérature et le monde du spectacle que sur les arts médiatiques ou la presse gay – et des textes expérimentaux – fictions, dessins, récits autobiographiques. Plus de 27 œuvres de fiction publiées entre 1965 et 2017 y sont analysées sous différents aspects, avec des méthodologies diverses, mais toujours sous l’éclairage queer (un terme à la nature instable, paradoxale, que calque la forme éclatée de l’ouvrage). Du polyamour à l’inceste, en passant par le racisme, l’urbanité, le suicide, le non-désir d’enfant, l’alimentation ou les processus de production, le queer met en scène des personnages hétéros ou homosexuels, intersexués, cis, trans, travailleur·euse·s du sexe, gros et plusieurs autres… Cette juxtaposition d’états, de genres, de thèmes, de formes et de pratiques constitue l’une des forces de ce livre qui intéressera bien sûr un lectorat d’intellectuel·le·s et de personnes issues des communautés LGBTQIA2S+, mais pas seulement. Il deviendra, sans nul doute, une ressource indispensable pour l’enseignement de nouvelles perspectives dans le cadre des sciences humaines et sociales.

Three volunteer hosts and programmers of a feminist music show at a campus-community radio station, Anna Leventhal, Catherine McInnis, and Angela Wilson, sat down in 2008 to chat about feminist radio. They discussed the concept of a feminist music show and the possibilities and limitations of female-only spaces; the “fem-con” concept that campus-community radio stations be mandated to play a certain amount of music by women, in the same way they are mandated by the CRTC to play Canadian content; the transformative social and political potential of community radio; and the inclusion of trans and gender-nonconforming voices on the show.

Ageing and memory - two aspects of life everybody has to face eventually. The contributions to this volume explore the cultural mediations of these categories. Through a series of approaches focused on practices and acts of memory, narratives, reminiscence, representation and collective memory, they seek to better understand and critically reflect on how ageing is experienced in variegated ways across the lifespan. By covering a variety of phenomena, from biopics, music by the elderly, and artefacts, among other, they all contribute to further the understanding of memory as a cultural process always in the making - situated in particular contexts, and shaped by its material conditions of existence.

Though they no longer call themselves Top 40, popular music radio stations remain present on the dial today, complete with loud, mostly male DJs, hoping to attract a mainly female audi ence. Using the talk on two Montréal music stations, which hire mainly male announcers who select music assumed to fit wom en’s tastes, Christine Maki examines the continuing perception that women’s voices aren’t low or authoritative enough and that emotional issues prevent them from presenting difficult news stories. Her conclusion: the overall medium remains relatively unchanged over the decades, despite massive evolution in the wider media landscape.
