The Oxford Handbook of Radio and Podcasting
The Oxford Handbook of Radio and Podcasting provides a concise yet in-depth overview of the development of radio as a creative and cultural form, from early broadcasting to the digital present. Organized around major aspects of radio's social and political impact - on the arts, on news and documentary, on community, nation, identity, and culture - it draws on contributors from interdisciplinary backgrounds and many nationalities to explore the world of sound-based communication across a century of practice. Links are provided to illustrative sound clips in many chapters, along with chapter-by-chapter audiographies offering digital links to enable further listening.

Wir singen nicht, wir sind die Jodler
Jodeln ist eine Ausnahmeerscheinung unter den Gesangskünsten, eine hochspezialisierte Form des Singens. Allein im deutschsprachigen Raum gibt es zahlreiche regionale Formen und alle haben eigenständige Merkmale entwickelt. Der Harz sticht durch akrobatische Motive hervor, die Jahr für Jahr bei Jodlerwettstreiten in Konkurrenz zueinander treten. Die Autorin wirft einen historischen Blick darauf, wie das Jodeln im Harz populär geworden ist, die vergangenen gut 100 Jahre Harzer Musikgeschichte finden hier Beachtung: von der Randerscheinung Jodeln zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts, über die Etablierung zum klanglichen Markenzeichen während der NS-Zeit, bis hin zur mächtigen Folklorebewegung ...
Yodeling and Meaning in American Music
Timothy E. Wise presents the first book to focus specifically on the musical content of yodeling in our culture. He shows that yodeling serves an aesthetic function in musical texts. A series of chronological chapters analyzes this musical tradition from its earliest appearances in Europe to its incorporation into a range of American genres and beyond. Wise posits the reasons for yodeling's changing status in our music. How and why was yodeling introduced into professional music making in the first place? What purposes has it served in musical texts? Why was it expunged from classical music? Why did it attach to some popular music genres and not others? Why does yodeling now appear principal...
The Big Data Agenda
This book highlights that the capacity for gathering, analysing, and utilising vast amounts of digital (user) data raises significant ethical issues. Annika Richterich provides a systematic contemporary overview of the field of critical data studies that reflects on practices of digital data collection and analysis. The book assesses in detail one big data research area: biomedical studies, focused on epidemiological surveillance. Specific case studies explore how big data have been used in academic work. The Big Data Agenda concludes that the use of big data in research urgently needs to be considered from the vantage point of ethics and social justice. Drawing upon discourse ethics and critical data studies, Richterich argues that entanglements between big data research and technology/ internet corporations have emerged. In consequence, more opportunities for discussing and negotiating emerging research practices and their implications for societal values are needed.
Making Music American
The year 1917 was unlike any other in American history, or in the history of American music. The United States entered World War I, jazz burst onto the national scene, and the German musicians who dominated classical music were forced from the stage. As the year progressed, New Orleans natives Nick LaRocca and Freddie Keppard popularized the new genre of jazz, a style that suited the frantic mood of the era. African-American bandleader James Reese Europe accepted the challenge of making the band of the Fifteenth New York Infantry into the best military band in the country. Orchestral conductors Walter Damrosch and Karl Muck met the public demand for classical music while also responding to n...
