German Enlightenment

This article explores the cultural meanings of female musical authorship in the late German Enlightenment through a case study of Charlotte (“Minna”) Brandes, a composer, keyboardist, and opera singer. With Minna's death in 1788 at the age of twenty-three, her father, the playwright Johann Christian Brandes, and her close friend and teacher Johann Friedrich Höönicke prepared two memorials to her memory, a biography and a collection of her music, the latter titled Musikalische Nachlass von Minna Brandes (Hamburg, 1788). These memorials situated her authorship in the contexts of pedagogy and education, the composition of occasional works for the home, and the solace offered by music amidst bereavement and illness. The principal discourse was of death itself. Minna's memorialization shared with the novels of Goethe a topos of the beautiful female dead in which the female corpse (or its representation) was exhibited as a beautiful artifact. Death turned Minna from composer into a passive, aestheticized object of male authorship. These discursive contexts contained Minna's activities as a composer within a framework of bourgeois femininity. Both Minna's father and her teacher were at pains to stress that she sought neither fame nor fortune from her compositions. However, such representations of Minna were misleading. Her collected works suggest she was working toward a published collection of strophic German songs and toward the composition of operatic music for her own performance. The idealizing tropes of the memorials are also challenged by Johann Christian's later memoirs in which his daughter's turn to composition is situated in what he described as her multiple breaches of deferential daughterly conduct. Minna's reported profligacy during her final illness may have stimulated the posthumous publication of her music, which was possibly a form of fund raising for her multiply bereaved father, a corrective to his emotional and financial loss. The healthy list of 518 subscribers indicates that youthful female death was marketable as a topos occasioning the pleasures of melancholy.

The Relationship

Korean popular music (K-pop) fandom may serve as a case study to identify both cynical and utopian views of fans' participatory Net activism by addressing three key aspects: fan activism, cybervigilantism, and Othering mechanisms. Fancom (fan company) in the K-pop scene refers to the way fans systematically manage their own stars. These notions of assertive fancom practices address how fans actively participate in sociocultural events such as fund raising, donating to charity, and volunteering in emergency situations. This management may take another turn, however: antifandom surrounds K-pop star Tablo, signifying cybervigilantism of sinsang teolgi (personal information theft), a term referring to the online activities of a group of netizens who seek to expose the personal details of perceived wrongdoers by publishing them online as a form of punishment. The Tablo case revitalized public concern over privacy and the security of personal information in the digital era. Finally, Othering mechanisms in participatory online K-pop fandom display a strong sense of nationalism and even racism, as demonstrated by responses to anti-Korean rhetoric posted on the MySpace page of K-pop idol Jae-Beom. This highlights the relationship between participatory Net activism and nationalistic sentiment active within K-pop fandom. Some K-pop fan practices may have negative connotations, but by engaging with specific civic issues and social events, participatory fan practices encourage people to interact, discuss, and challenge conventional discourses, which may lead to new forms of social action.

Collective Competence

Borrowing from the international entrepreneurship business literature that uses the term “Born Globals,” I label organizations that have been created to discover and exploit opportunities primarily within virtual worlds as “Born Virtuals.” While relatively easy to establish, the challenge for Born Virtuals and avapreneurs, or entrepreneurial avatars, is to accomplish the critical task of coordinating the actions of multiple actors to achieve important outcomes – a challenge that has beenrepeatedly documented in research on virtual teams and organizations with geographically dispersed members. As such, this paper’s intent is to investigate two research questions: RQ1) What are the challenges for avapreneurs to achieving successful organizational outcomes in Born Virtuals? and RQ2) How can collective competence be developed such that these challenges can be overcome? To answer these questions, this paper presents a study of Peace Train, one Born Virtual organization created in Second Life. Peace Train was founded by three socialavapreneurs interested in promoting peace in the world, and together with more than 100 volunteers, Peace Train organized during the course of eleven months PeaceFest 08, one of the largest fund-raising events to date in virtual worlds. This event attracted 8,000 to 10,000 unique avatars and raised 870,000 Linden dollars from approximately 3,000 individuals from across the globe, which were then donated to 10 real world charitable organizations.

Background: Cancer is one of the most pressing social issues within the contemporary world, affecting all segments of the global population, however despite its importance, the research literature in regard to social entrepreneurship and social innovation within the field of cancer control is scarce. Aim: Because of this reason, the researcher decided to develop his Master Thesis in Social Entrepreneurship and Management at Roskilde University through a case study research focused on the characteristics and dynamics of social innovation and scaling when applied within the context of cancer control activities, with a particular focus on resource generation and fund raising. The Majlis Kanser Nasional (National Cancer Council; MAKNA) is an organization that since 1995 is dedicated to the task of preventing, treating and reducing the burden of cancer among the most vulnerable populations, first in Malaysia and since 2011 also in Vietnam. Currently MAKNA benefits more than 10,000 cancer patients every year based on a structure of near 200 employees and 400 active volunteers. The organization has constantly figured out ways to keep innovating by expanding its pool of programs and benefits, additionally its distinctive approach combining both charity fund raising and social enterprise operations to ensure a diversified and sustainable resource generation model, makes MAKNA a worthy subject of study. Methods: For this study, the researcher have chosen to follow a phenomenological - hermeneutic approach applying a mixed method research based on interviews, participant observations and document analysis. All this based on a theoretical framework building on the model proposed by Johanna Mair and Christian Seelos from Stanford University in “Innovation and Scaling for Impact” (2017) regarding social entrepreneurship, social innovation and scaling as well complementary notions from diverse authors regarding the concepts of hybridity and cross-sector partnerships. The study took place between June 2017 and March 2018 in Malaysia and Vietnam, including 20 interviews with employees, volunteers, patients, partners and other stakeholders. Additionally it comprises 6 participant observation of the organizations activities and the analysis of over 50 different documents and reports. Results: Based on the already mentioned concepts and the gathered data, the researcher conducts a discussive analysis on the evolution of the organizations different resource generation strategies over time, developing a set of conclusions and future perspectives within the framework of social entrepreneurship and social innovation. Conclusion: The organization has constantly figured out ways to keep innovating by expanding its pool of programs and benefits, additionally its distinctive approach combining both charity fund raising and social enterprise operations to ensure a diversified and sustainable resource generation model, makes MAKNA a worthy subject of study.

Advocacy Campaigns

Online advocacy is big business. Online advocacy organisations need to structure themselves along business lines for fund raising, and to strategically utilise their online and traditional resources to achieve their goals. The growing influence of civil society organisations has been fuelled largely by an increase and ubiquity of emerging technologies. There is no evidence of a detailed analysis of social media led advocacy campaigns in the literature. The global environmental justice organisation, Greenpeace is used as a case study. The rise of online social media has provided the organisation with an alternative to traditional mass media. There have been some notable successes for Greenpeace. The most recent of which has been its efforts to halt the drilling for oil in the Arctic. Equally the Greenpeace campaigns have sometimes provoked the public ire, for example in their miscalculation of the fallout over their recent Nazca plains intrusion. It is clear that to attain any level of success the organisation needs to structure itself on sound business principles and strategies.
