TL;DR: The main objective of as discussed by the authors is to demonstrate how the ideological imbalances underpinning the concepts of artistic knowledge and research in higher education have contributed to this territorialization, in a milieu of overmanagement, these imbalance often go unquestioned largely because of the university's everdecreasing role in interrogating the agenda set by others who stand to benefit from it.
Abstract: Artistic research has in recent years concerned itself with the nature of practice and how this may be framed as research. These debates may have blinded us to a more fundamental concern: territorial claims to the research space made by other forces. Competition for access to material and human resources, funds, space, and infrastructural support, among others, drive debates about the academic status of performance within higher education. The main objective of this article is to demonstrate how the ideological imbalances underpinning the concepts of artistic knowledge and research in Higher Education have contributed to this territorialization. In a milieu of overmanagement, these imbalances often go unquestioned largely because of the university’s ever-decreasing role in interrogating the agenda set by others who stand to benefit from it.

TL;DR: This article examined aspects of the historical origins of the song and how the music and lyrics may be said to represent attitudes to Mexico in the imagination of these songwriters, using a semiotic approach drawing on Philip Tagg's analysis of Abba's Fernando.
Abstract: Inspired by Malcolm Lowry's novel Under the volcano, Jack Bruce and Pete Brown's 1971 song, The Consul at sunset, forms the central focus of this paper, in which I examine aspects of the historical origins of the song and how the music and lyrics may be said to represent attitudes to Mexico in the imagination of these songwriters. Using a semiotic approach drawing on Philip Tagg's analysis of Abba's Fernando, I identify some programmatic “Mexican” elements in the song with the aim of exploring the inter-relationship between music and lyrics and how these elements work together to communicate a sense of Mexican-ness. For the purpose of contextualizing the song's relationship to the novel, I briefly consider salient elements of the plot of Under the volcano in the novel as well as the film version (directed by John Huston) to see how these versions form an intertextual web of “outsider” depictions of Mexican culture, to which the Mexican festival Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) — concerned wit...

TL;DR: The year 2013 marks the 150th anniversary of the song Daar kom die Alibama, inspired by the 1863 visit of CSS Alabama to Table Bay as discussed by the authors, and the song's origin as a product of indigenous knowledge and the musical elements in the song that act as signifiers of contested identities.
Abstract: The year 2013 marks the 150th anniversary of the song Daar kom die Alibama, inspired by the 1863 visit of CSS Alabama to Table Bay. In this paper I discuss Robbie Jansen's 2003 version of this song with reference to the original song's iconic status in South African culture, its origin as a product of indigenous knowledge and finally some of the musical elements in the song that act as signifiers of contested identities. Following the work of George Lewis and Naomi Cumming, I argue that Jansen and his musical cohorts use a number of deliberate signifiers in the song as markers of a political and historical reclamation effected by a loose group of musicians associated with so-called ‘Cape Jazz,’ so demarcating the city of Cape Town as the epicentre of a particular sound universe shared by these musicians and underpinned by the rhythmic foundation of an indigenous style called ghoema. I suggest that ghoema's special status in some musical circles as a peculiarly Capetonian approach to rhythm is a po...

TL;DR: The New York Review ofBooks as mentioned in this paper is now over twenty years old and it has attracted controversy since its inception, but it is the controversies that attract the interest of the reader and to which the history, especially an admittedly impressionistic survey, must give some attention.
Abstract: It comes as something ofa surprise to reflect that the New York Review ofBooks is now over twenty years old. Even people of my generation (that is, old enough to remember the revolutionary 196os but not young enough to have taken a very exciting part in them) think of the paper as eternally youthful. In fact, it has gone through years of relatively quiet life, yet, as always in a competitive journalistic market, it is the controversies that attract the interest of the reader and to which the history (especially an admittedly impressionistic survey that tries to include something of the intellectual context in which a journal has operated) must give some attention. Not all the attacks which the New York Review has attracted, both early in its career and more recently, are worth more than a brief summary. What do we now make, for example, of Richard Kostelanetz's forthright accusation that 'The New York Review was from its origins destined to publicize Random House's (and especially [Jason] Epstein's) books and writers'?1 Well, simply that, even if the statistics bear out the charge (and Kostelanetz provides some suggestive evidence to support it, at least with respect to some early issues), there is nothing surprising in a market economy about a publisher trying to push his books through the pages of a journal edited by his friends. True, the New York Review has not had room to review more than around fifteen books in each issue and there could be a bias in the selection of
