This chapter presents an overview of the popular music literature that has addressed the music of Queen. It is argued that authors have previously been limited in their analysis of Queen’s style because of lacking methodological frameworks. Having introduced and established the concept of idiolect, a specific distinction is drawn between compositional strategies and sonic patterns, which account for the different types of shared characteristics across the band’s output. These ideas are supported through the application of Wittgenstein’s model of ‘family resemblance’, suggesting that some tracks share more resemblances with others, yet they remain part of, and contribute to the overall ‘family’ of Queen’s output. This approach to idiolect is extended to consider how individual tracks are also connected to wider styles, thereby establishing the wider dual framework for subsequent analyses.

This article applies the processes of canon formation suggested by Philip V. Bohlman in The Study of Folk Music in the Modern World to the historiography of popular music. Bohlman distinguishes between at least three different types of folk music canon: a small group canon, a mediated canon and an imagined canon. Adjusting Bohlman's ideas to the case of popular music, a reformulation is proposed in the form of an alternative canon, a mainstream canon, and a prescribed canon. The unstable power relations implied by the juxtaposition of different canons are considered, as well as the cumulative aspect of canon formation. The article also looks for each type of canon in the media through which historical knowledge is transmitted, and considers the tendency to narrate the historiography of marginal musics with more ephemeral media than the printed word.

The Way

The songs of Bob Dylan are often used in the worship services of Protestant, and especially Lutheran, churches in Scandinavia. Since the mid-1990s more than 100 so-called Dylan masses have been celebrated in Norway alone. This can be explained partly by the fact that Dylan has been recognized as a major artist in all sections of society, and partly by the fact that the national Lutheran churches have accepted popular music as a natural part of their worship. In this article, I look more closely at the reasons behind the use of Bob Dylan’s music in worship in Scandinavia and examine the discussion around this that has been going on within church communities. My empirical basis consists of interviews with ten ministers and church musicians. The material shows that different types of argumentation are used with regard to the use of Dylan’s music in the church, and that this is related to the respondent’s approach to popular culture in general and the way in which they regard the worship service.

The article examines the process of origin and formation of the Neoclassicism era in the Ukrainian art. Сultural processes of different types of art of Ukraine of the end of XX – the beginning of XXI century are investigated. the chronological boundaries of the neoclassical epoch in the countries of Europe and Ukraine are compared, their difference is determined. It provides a brief overview of the historical situation that led to the later flowering of neoclassicism. Features of neoclassicism in music, literature, drama and choreography are considered. In particular, the works of Ukrainian neoclassical writers as M. Zerov, M. Drai-Khmara, P. Phylypovych, M. Rylsky, Y.Klen, who entered the society of prosaics and poets «Kyiv Neoclacissist», are briefly characterized. The main goal of the Ukrainian neoclassical literature is outlined namely by researching authentic Ukrainian literature and assimilating the best European literary samples to create own unique literary forms. The musical neoclassical art is analysed, in particular, the essence of the concept "neofolklorism" is revealed (laying certain neoclassical principles on folklore motives, M. Skoryk’s oeuvre as an example). Problematic issues regarding the development of neoclassical drama in Ukraine arise, modern Ukrainian drama is considered in the context of economic market. The problem of Ukrainian drama’s competitive ability and possible conditions for this are analysed. Neoclassical choreographic art is studied, namely its characteristic features, directions, forms. The plot and non-plot neoclassical performances are compared; genres of post-neoclassical performances are listed. Non-plot ballet neoclassicism that originates from American choreographer J. Balanchyn’s oeuvre is created by using jazz and modern dancing means of expression and forms. Plot ballet neoclassicism originates from F. Ashton’s oeuvre and has Anglo-French origin. The main characteristics of the plot neoclassical performance are complicated ballet terminology, increasing of attention to dramatically or literary plot, the presence of realistic, expressionistic and surreal principles, using the pantomime, modern, jazz, popular, folklore dancing means of expression, dance symphony and academic ballet principles.

AbstractSampling has been criticised as ‘a mixture of time-travel and seance’, ‘the musical art of ghost co-ordination and ghost arrangement’, and a process that ‘doubles (recording's) inherent supernaturalism’ (Reynolds, S., 2012,Retromania: Pop Culture's Addiction to its Own Past, London, Faber and Faber, pp. 313–14). Yet out of all the sample-based music forms, hip-hop receives the lion's share of attention in popular music literature; critics are puzzled by its appeal, scholars identify a plethora of problems in its function, and practitioners and audiences alike are mesmerised by its effect. Rap producers attribute an inherent ‘magic’ to working with past phonographic samples and fans appear spellbound by the resulting ‘supernatural’ collage. The author examines the music's unique recipe of phonographic juxtaposition, exploring the conditions of this ascribed ‘magic’, investigating gaps in perception between emotional and intellectual effect and deciphering parallels in the practice and vocabulary mobilised against a range of genres in performance magic.

AbstractThe present article is concerned with the term realism. It develops an argument to distinguish between two different types: epistemically reflexive and non-reflexive realism. Wherever a fiction prompts its readers to distinguish between speaker-utterances from utterances not tied to a fictive character realism of the epistemically non-reflexive variety is at hand. Such a fiction posits a reality not to be reduced to the conceptual scheme of its fictive inhabitants. Realism of the epistemically reflexive sort indicates the relativity of the very conceptual fabric by which utterances not tied to a fictive entity give access to a fictive reality. In such a game of make believe there is, ontologically speaking, no room for the conjecture of a reality providing its fictive inhabitants as well as its non-fictive interpreters with concepts to name things as they are in themselves. How this comes to pass is shown by making use of Roland Barthes’ famous term ›reality effect‹ and subsequently illustrated by using the example of Franz Innerhofer’s novel Schöne Tage (Beautiful Days, 1975). The main argument is framed by a discussion of 19th century literary realism, on the one hand, and some concluding remarks on the potential cognitive benefits of epistemically reflexive realism, on the other hand. Whereas epistemically non-reflexive realism is a part of the family resemblance of a large portion of 19th century narrative fiction, so-called poetic realism is, according to the present article, to be considered as epistemically reflexive realism. Finally, it is argued that whenever a fiction, so to speak, loosens the connection between a fictive reality and certain concepts by suggesting the conceptual relativity of its own prescriptions to imagine certain things as fictionally true readers might be all the more willing to transfer those very same concepts into their own world.

The Laplace transform of the extinction time is determined for a general birth and death process with arbitrary catastrophe rate and catastrophe size distribution. It is assumed only that the birth rates satisfyλ0= 0,λj> 0 for eachj> 0, and. Necessary and sufficient conditions for certain extinction of the population are derived. The results are applied to the linear birth and death process (λj=jλ, µj=jμ) with catastrophes of several different types.

Abstract We argue that Tomasello's account overlooks important psychological distinctions between how humans judge different types of moral obligations, such as prescriptive obligations (i.e., what one should do) and proscriptive obligations (i.e., what one should not do). Specifically, evaluating these different types of obligations rests on different psychological inputs and has distinct downstream consequences for judgments of moral character.

Complete Interpretation

Previous freeze fracture results on the intact giant, amoeba Chaos carolinensis indicated the presence of a fibrillar arrangement of filaments within the cytoplasm. A complete interpretation of the three dimensional ultrastructure of these structures, and their possible role in amoeboid movement was not possible, since comparable results could not be obtained with conventional fixation of intact amoebae. Progress in interpreting the freeze fracture images of amoebae required a more thorough understanding of the different types of filaments present in amoebae, and of the ways in which they could be organized while remaining functional.The recent development of a calcium sensitive, demembranated, amoeboid model of Chaos carolinensis has made it possible to achieve a better understanding of such functional arrangements of amoeboid filaments. In these models the motility of demembranated cytoplasm can be controlled in vitro, and the chemical conditions necessary for contractility, and cytoplasmic streaming can be investigated. It is clear from these studies that “fibrils” exist in amoeboid models, and that they are capable of contracting along their length under conditions similar to those which cause contraction in vertebrate muscles.

Different Cell Types

Various types of intermediate-sized (10-nm) filaments have been found and described in many different cell types during the past few years. Despite the differences in the chemical composition among the different types of filaments, they all yield common structural features: they are usually up to several microns long and have a diameter of 7 to 10 nm; there is evidence that they are made of several 2 to 3.5 nm wide protofilaments which are helically wound around each other; the secondary structure of the polypeptides constituting the filaments is rich in ∞-helix. However a detailed description of their structural organization is lacking to date.
