Questions from lesson 16/05/12

Simulacrum- which means "likeness, similarity”, was first recorded in the English language in the late 16th century, used to describe a representation, such as a statue or a painting, especially of a god. By the late 19th century, it had gathered a secondary association of inferiority: an image without the substance or qualities of the original. Philosopher Fredric Jameson offers photorealism as an example of artistic simulacrum, where a painting is sometimes created by copying a photograph that is itself a copy of the real. Other art forms that play with simulacra include Trompe l'oeil, Pop Art, Italian neorealism and the French New Wave.

Authenticity- refers to the truthfulness of origins, attributions, commitments, sincerity, devotion, and intentions.

Romanticism (or the Romantic era/Period)-  was an artistic, literary, and intellectual movement that originated in Europe toward the end of the 18th century and in most areas was at its peak in the approximate period from 1800 to 1840. The movement validated strong emotion as an authentic source of aesthetic experience, placing new emphasis on such emotions as apprehension, horror and terror, and awe—especially that which is experienced in confronting the sublimity of untamed nature and its picturesque qualities, both new aesthetic categories

Kanye West & Jay-Z - Niggas in Paris. Around 3 minutes 15 seconds we get a case of number 9 as we can clearly hear the sound of monks and soudns that relate to Gregorian chanting -

"9. Includes quotations of or references to music of many traditions and cultures"

The Police - Every Breath you take - We can relate this to number 16 as the meaning of the song was supposed to be about a stalker but we infer it as an audcence to be falling in love.

"16. Locates meaning and even structure in listeners, more than in scores, performances, or composers"

The Death of Uncool

The death of uncool is a theory supported and generated by the ideas of Brian Eno, a former rock star from the 70's who now produces music from such bands as Coldplay and U2. His ideas meant that in todays generation there is no such thing as an uncool music taste and no genre that is looked down upon as every genre in its own way is seen as cool. This has differed from previous years as there was mainly a set genre or type of music that would have been seen to be 'cool' to listen to and any other type may not have been accepted as laughed upon.
We were given the task of putting our music player on shuffle and the first 20 tracks and write them down, this would show us the amount of different genres on our music players that we didn't know about. This would enforce the theory there is no uncool because at one point we would have loved every song on our ipod, or they wouldn't be on there.
