Proposed journals for your research

When you write academic essays you are expected to consult primary sources, such as books and journal articles, to support the points you are making. Academic essays require research, not only to learn more about what you’re studying and writing about, but also to provide evidence that reinforces your arguments.

The following list was created by Lynn Clark, Assistant Research Professor in Communication at the University of Colorado, Boulder. Her criterion for ranking the journals can be found at her website: http://ucsu.colorado.edu/~clarkl/gradstudents.htm#journals

Communication Journals:

1. Communication Research
2. Public Culture
3. Journal of Communication
4. Communication Theory
5. Journal of Broadcast and Electronic Media
6. Media, Culture, and Society

8. Journalism and Mass Communication
9. Communication Monographs
10. European Journal of Communication
11. Cultural Studies
12. Media Studies Journal
13. Javnost - The Public
14. Journal of Communication Inquiry

Sociology journals that publish media studies

1. Symbolic Interaction
2. Contemporary Sociology
3. Sociology of Religion
4. Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion
5. Review of Religious Research

Hi all,

regarding our conversation about whether to go ahead with the net art lecture or have essay tutorials before easter break instead: how many of you would like to see me for a tutorial (i.e. have already thought about which question you want to address and want to discuss it?)

Can people send me an email or reply here on the blog about whether they want a tutorial and if the numbers are sufficient we'll go ahead with that. We can always do the net art lecture after easter. I think it may be useful so that you can have a clearer idea/direction and work on it during Easter, but it's up to you.

Please let me know about this by Sunday, at the latest .

Eleni

TOMORROW'S SESSION

Hello all,

please bring a fresh copy of your essay plans in class tomorrow (and those who emailed me their copy make sure you print one out this time), as I've written all over the first version and you need a fresh one to work in pairs with!

many thanks,

Eleni

re the grey album

I don't think the link that I posted via the Grey album image came up ok the other day. SO here it is again, the story as I know it:

THE GREY ALBUM LEGAL BATTLE SUMMARIZED

DJ Danger Mouse remixed the vocals from Jay-Z's The Black Album and the Beatles' White Album and called his creation The Grey Album. He sent about 3,000 promo copies out, and was soon served with a cease-and-desist notice from EMI, who owns the rights to the White Album master. Danger Mouse complied with EMI's order, butStay Free! (sponsors of the Illegal Art Exhibit) and other fans and activists continued distributing the record over the Internet. EMI sent legal threats to many of us as well but later backed down. Next, SONY/ATV -- who owns the rights to the Beatles' compositions -- stepped in and sent our internet service provider a DMCA takedown notice (3/1/2004). We secured legal representation from the EFF, moved our website to the Online Policy Group (a free-speech ISP), and responded to Sony with this letter. Fortunately, Sony also dropped the case and The Grey Album remains safely online.

The Re-used Sample.

Each Dj has one percussive sample (ie: snare, kick etc..) and they build a tune out of their samples. This is a group called 'Ned Hoddings' consisting of Dj Toadstyle, Dj Excess, Dj Ricci Rucker and Dj Mike Boogie. This track is played live in a very famous L.A club the knitting factory.

The Grey Album (conspiracy)

there is a lot on controversy regarding this album and Jay Z in general. Anyone that has an interest in conspiracy and occult history will probably know quite alot about it.

Here is one conspiracy that can definitely be proved. Its to do with playing one of the interludes backwards from the grey album. My friend Alex insisted that i present this to you all.



Alot of this may see a little far fetched but when you see how much symbolism and ancient symbols are used in our every day lives it quite insane. This next little exert is taken from a guy called john todd who came out of the woodwork in the 70's ans started talking about freemasonry, witchcraft and the music industry.



I sampled what he said for a mixtape (on logic) i did with my mate as i have always thought a lot of pop artists these days would need to have sold their soul to satan to get where they are. But that's another story.
