Brain Magazine - News - Beyoncé et le trou noir de la pop

tel Peter Parker, la pop elle-même et la façon de la concevoir mutent face à un environnement changeant. D’abord, comme dans la « pop urbaine » d’une manière générale, un album de Beyoncé se construit façon créature de Frankenstein. Les entourages sont pléthoriques et ingérables. Des centaines d’instrus sont proposées et écoutées par ses équipes, et le peu d’élues remontent jusqu’à elle et sont ensuite retravaillées dans tous les sens, par plusieurs équipes de producteurs. De manière réticulaire. Ce mot existe. Les morceaux sont par nature collaboratifs et leur substance est par essence interchangeable. Pour l’auditeur, difficile d’investir trop d’affect dans un morceau dont on sent intuitivement qu’il aurait pu avoir un autre instru et la même voix, ou l’inverse. C’est Kanye qui a porté à son paroxysme cette évolution : un morceau pop aujourd’hui n’est pas gravé dans le marbre d’un mix et d’un mastering - il peut ou pourra connaître d’autres déclinaisons, remixs, mixs, edits, versions, n’importe, inventez un autre nom si vous voulez. Le morceau de musique n’est plus tant défini par des traits musicologiques fixes que par un mood, un état latent, liquide.

I keep thinking how much more powerful the #Spiderman origin story would be if Peter Parker was an African American kid, whose Uncle Ben was shot by #police while being arrested for a minor parking infraction.

When Marvel Comics first announced a new Spiderman who is half-Hispanic and half-African-American–from the popular Peter Parker to a New Yorker, #Miles_Morales–back in 2011, radio host Glen Beck shared his thoughts on the matter. Beck argued that Michelle Obama was behind the creation of the biracial superhero. On this radio show, Beck said, “Do I care if […]

Ariel Levy: Was Justice Served in Steubenville? : The New Yorker
▻http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2013/08/05/130805fa_fact_levy?currentPage=all

In trying to determine what happened in #Steubenville, the police and the public began with the same information, gathered from the same online sources: ugly tweets, the Instagram photograph, and a deeply disturbing video. But while the police commandeered phones, interviewed witnesses, and collected physical evidence from the crime scene, readers online relied on collaborative deduction. The story they produced felt archetypally right. The “hacktivists” of #Anonymous were modern-day Peter Parkers—computer nerds who put on a costume and were transformed into superhero vigilantes. The girl from West Virginia stood in for every one of the world’s female victims: nameless, faceless, stripped of identity or agency. And there was a satisfying villain. Teen-age boys who play football in Steubenville—among many other places—are aggrandized and often do end up with a sense of thuggish entitlement.

In versions of the story that spread online, the girl was lured to the party and then drugged. While she was delirious, she was transported in the trunk of a car, and then a gang of football players raped her over and over again and urinated on her body while her peers watched, transfixed. The town, desperate to protect its young princes, contrived to cover up the crime. If not for Goddard’s intercession, the police would have happily let everyone go. None of that is true.
