The author focuses on the multilayered social identities internalized by seven second-generation Italian-Quebec artists and how it is manifested in their artwork. She examines how Quebec's political landscape, especially the impact of Quebec's linguistic, nationalist and cultural debates, and the subjects' parents' experience of immigration, impinged on the artistic process and production. The author demonstrates how these artists connect their Italian ethnicity to a creative practice to achieve a sense of balance between family traditions, personal identity, and belonging. The seven artists are: Vittorio Rossi (Playwright, Actor); Agata De Santis (Documentary Filmmaker, Producer, Blogger); Sandra Coppola (Filmmaker, Scriptwriter); Luisa Pepe (Singer, Songwriter); Franco Taddeo (Comedian); Michaela Di Cesare (Playwright, Actor); and Marco Calliari (Author, Composer, Musician).

In this study, four sets of songs composed by Violet Archer are examined, all of which were written at different points in her career. Archer studied with Paul Hindemith in 1948 – 49, and his teachings had a tremendous impact on the young composer. The first set of songs to be analyzed, Moon Songs, was written before her time with Hindemith, and will provide a baseline from which her later, post-Hindemith, works can be compared. Following her studies with Hindemith, Archer wrote three songs, “Cradle Song,” “April Weather,” and “First Snow,” all of which show evidence of Hindemith’s influence. Her later, more mature works, Northern Landscape and Caleidoscopio Quatro, demonstrate a refined compositional technique; one in which Archer has created her own style, while maintaining aspects of the approach taught by Hindemith at Yale. This study will elaborate on the aspects of Archer’s music that evolved throughout her compositional career.

What is the internet? It began as a military research experiment, but the internet has since become a sweeping cultural phenomenon. One of the most prevalent areas of the internet’s cultural dominance is in popular music, and this thesis addresses how the internet is being understood and discussed by popular music artists. I study the works of Grimes and Childish Gambino, two popular music artists who grew up alongside the internet’s rise to cultural dominance and explicitly address this experience as an integral component of their lives and works. I look specifically at discourse surrounding Grimes’ “post-internet” music and Childish Gambino’s expansive conceptual work Because the Internet (2013). This research concludes by addressing how popular music artists like Grimes and Childish Gambino are helping produce the ways in which we understand and discuss the cultural phenomenon of the internet, and how they provide a foundation for future artists and research to build upon.

Cette étude inclut les œuvres de Mara Tremblay, Ariane Moffat et Salomé Leclerc et vise un objectif double : d’une part, il s’agit d’analyser des textes lyriques qui ont une indéniable qualité poétique et d’autre part, de réaliser une étude intermédiale alliant texte, musique et clip-vidéo afin de voir comment le sens d’un de ces éléments est infléchi, modifié ou complété par celui des autres éléments. L’hypothèse de recherche est qu’aujourd’hui, les auteurs-compositeurs-interprètes conçoivent leur art à travers trois langages esthétiques (le texte, la musique et la vidéo), faisant de la musique une expérience plurisensorielle et intermédiale. Pour faire émerger le message de ces artistes, on mobilisera les théories du care et l’écoféminisme afin d’analyser le discours portant sur le sujet et le monde. On vise à dégager les grands thèmes de ces œuvres à travers une synthèse de ces trois approches critiques. L’analyse du corpus vise à déterminer la qualité poétique des textes et la vision du monde que ces trois artistes diffusent.
