Pop Masculinities - The Politics of Gender in Twenty-First Century Popular Music (Hardcover): Kai Arne Hansen Pop Masculinities - The Politics of Gender in Twenty-First Century Popular Music (Hardcover)
Kai Arne Hansen
R3,746 Discovery Miles 37 460 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

In Pop Masculinities, author Kai Arne Hansen investigates the performance and policing of masculinity in pop music as a starting point for grasping the broad complexity of gender and its politics in the early twenty-first century. Drawing together perspectives from critical musicology, gender studies, and adjacent scholarly fields, the book presents extended case studies of five well-known artists: Zayn, Lil Nas X, Justin Bieber, The Weeknd, and Take That. By directing particular attention to the ambiguities and contradictions that arise from these artists' representations of masculinity, Hansen argues that pop performances tend to operate in ways that simultaneously reinforce and challenge gender norms and social inequalities. Providing a rich exploration of these murky waters, Hansen merges the interpretation of recorded song and music video with discourse analysis and media ethnography in order to engage with the full range of pop artists' public identities as they emerge at the intersections between processes of performance, promotion, and reception. In so doing, he advances our understanding of the aesthetic and discursive underpinnings of gender politics in twenty-first century pop culture and encourages readers to contemplate the sociopolitical implications of their own musical engagements as audiences, critics, musicians, and scholars.

Sustainability and Optimality of Public Debt (Hardcover, 2nd ed. 2013): Michael Carlberg, Arne Hansen Sustainability and Optimality of Public Debt (Hardcover, 2nd ed. 2013)
Michael Carlberg, Arne Hansen
R3,526 Discovery Miles 35 260 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This book studies the sustainability and optimality of public debt under different scenarios: the closed economy, the small open economy, and a two-country setting. Sustainability refers to the existence and the stability of the long-run equilibrium. Optimality relates to the path of public debt that maximizes discounted utility. The analysis is conducted within the framework of the Solow model, the overlapping generations model and the infinite horizon model. The government can follow different strategies, it either fixes the deficit ratio or the tax rate. As a result, a fixed deficit ratio generally can be sustained. By contrast, a fixed tax rate generally cannot be sustained. Depending on the chosen fiscal strategy, there exists either an optimal deficit ratio or an optimal tax rate that maximizes the sum of consumption and government purchases per capita.

Popular Musicology and Identity - Essays in Honour of Stan Hawkins (Paperback): Kai Arne Hansen, Eirik Askeroi, Freya Jarman Popular Musicology and Identity - Essays in Honour of Stan Hawkins (Paperback)
Kai Arne Hansen, Eirik Askeroi, Freya Jarman
R1,407 Discovery Miles 14 070 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Popular Musicology and Identity paves new paths for studying popular music's entwinement with gender, sexuality, ethnicity, class, locality, and a range of other factors. The book consists of original essays in honour of Stan Hawkins, whose work has been a major influence on the musicological study of gender and identity since the early 1990s. In the new millennium, musicological approaches have proliferated and evolved alongside major shifts in the music industry and popular culture. Reflecting this plurality, the book reaches into a range of musical contexts, eras, and idioms to critically investigate the discursive structures that govern the processes through which music is mobilised as a focal point for negotiating and assessing identity. With contributions from leading scholars in the field, Popular Musicology and Identity accounts for the state of popular musicology at the onset of the 2020s while also offering a platform for the further advancement of the critical study of popular music and identity. This collection of essays thus provides an up-to-date resource for scholars across fields such as popular music studies, musicology, gender studies, and media studies.

On Popular Music and Its Unruly Entanglements (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2019): Nick Braae, Kai Arne Hansen On Popular Music and Its Unruly Entanglements (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2019)
Nick Braae, Kai Arne Hansen
R3,396 Discovery Miles 33 960 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

On Popular Music and Its Unruly Entanglements comprises eleven essays that explore the myriad ways in which popular music is entwined within social, cultural, musical, historical, and media networks. The authors discuss genres as diverse as mainstream pop, hip hop, classic rock, instrumental synthwave, video game music, amateur ukelele groups, and audiovisual remixes, while also considering the music's relationship to technological developments, various media and material(itie)s, and personal and social identity. The collection presents a range of different methodologies and theoretical positions, which results in an eclecticism that aptly demonstrates the breadth of contemporary popular music research. The chapters are divided into three major sections that address: wider theoretical and analytical issues ("Broad Strokes"), familiar repertoire or concepts from a new perspective ("Second Takes"), and the meanings to arise from music's connections with other media forms ("Audiovisual Entanglements").

Die Zuordnung Von Wirtschaftsguetern Zu Betriebstaetten Im Recht Der Doppelbesteuerungsabkommen - Ein Funktionaler Ansatz Unter Beruecksichtigung Der Fiktion Der Uneingeschraenkten Selbstaendigkeit Der Betriebstaette (German, Paperback)
Arne Hansen
R2,021 Discovery Miles 20 210 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Die Betriebstatte als Teil eines grenzuberschreitend ansassigen Einheitsunternehmens ist zivilrechtlich unselbstandig. Im Recht der Doppelbesteuerungsabkommen hingegen gilt fur die Betriebstatte die Fiktion der steuerrechtlich uneingeschrankten Selbststandigkeit, wodurch sie zum Besteuerungssubjekt wird. Die Studie widmet sich der Abgrenzung der Besteuerungsrechte am Gewinn eines grenzuberschreitend tatigen Einheitsunternehmens und entwickelt einen funktionalen Ansatz zur Zuordnung der Wirtschaftsguter zu Betriebstatten.
