Originating in Japan early in the 1970s as a simple sing-along technology, karaoke has become a hybrid media form designed to integrate mass-mediated popular music, video images, computer graphics, and the live musical performance of its human users. Not only has karaoke become a multimillion-dollar entertainment industry, its varied uses have also evolved into diverse popular cultural and social practices among many people around the world. Based on a two-year ethnographic study, this book offers a penetrating analysis of how karaoke is used in the expression, maintenance, and (re)construction of social identity as part of the Chinese American experience. It also explores the theoretical implications of interaction between the media audience and karaoke as both an electronic communication technology and a cultural practice. This book analyzes the social origins of karaoke and the dramaturgical characteristics of karaoke events, and explains how various musical genres are reframed as karaoke music. It also visits the numerous karaoke scenes in their natural context -- the sites of the actual consumption of media products, such as expensive private homes and fancy hotel ballrooms in the affluent suburbs of New Jersey, working-class restaurants and nightclubs in the multiethnic neighborhoods in Flushing, Queens, and Cantonese opera music clubs in New York's Chinatown. Finally, the book offers an intimate analysis of how karaoke has been adopted by several interpretive communities of first-generation Chinese immigrants not only as popular entertainment but also as a means to help (re)define their social identity and way of life.

Organised in 2008 by four medievalists from the University of Sheffield, Locating the Voice: Expressions of Identity in the Middle Ages provided a theatre for dialogue between postgraduates and early career researchers from around the world. This collection of articles, born out of the conference, forms an intriguing and interesting way of looking at identity and reflects the editors’ desire to reconcile ideas within adjacent interdisciplinary fields of study. Reaching far beyond the domain of medieval literature, already familiar to so many, this book examines the authorial and pictorial voice, the voice of national identity and even the physical attributes a medieval voice may have had. Each contributor shows how, in locating the voice in their own field of research, it is possible to build a multi-disciplinary approach to individuality and identity in the medieval world.

The confessions of a silver-tongued playboy...the musings of a jilted lover haunted by the scent of the departed...the prayers of a single mother pregnant with both hope and fear in a world beyond her control... Crafted in searing, vivid language, the poems in this exciting debut are masterfully sculpted to resonate throughout the very core of the reader like a melody unchained. Through a variety of different voices, Marcus relates universal truths that span the boundaries of race, color, creed, and gender. Whether the fertile promise of new love, the lingering sting of domestic violence, the emotional scarring of child abuse, or the beguiling face of blind patriotism – no matter which voice you hear them in, these are truly "songs" from the chorus of everyday life.

Since the introduction of the Amazon Echo, adoption of voice first technology has accelerated faster than any of its predecessors, including the telephone, the television, the computer, the internet, and the smartphone. By 2020, comScore predicts that 50% of searches will occur via voice and 30% of searches will be performed on a device without a screen. Digital marketers must adapt their search strategies to incorporate voice search. This book equips readers with an understanding of the current state of voice search, actionable tactics to prepare for voice search, and predictions on the future of voice search. Don't fall behind on one of the most important changes to search in history. -Amazon Echo owners spend more money on Amazon, with owners spending about 10% more than before they bought the Echo, per a study by NPD Group. -When voice assistants are developed, rather than source all their own information, they utilize many existing datasets such as recipes from Allrecipes and local business information from Google My Business. -By 2020, there will be 21.4 million smart speakers in the U.S., as they seem to be growing in popularity every day. The firm Mediapos estimates that about 30% of all searches will be done without the use of a screen by 2020.

Shortlisted for the Bookseller YA Prize 2015! Jo could never have guessed that the friendship she so desperately craves would come in the shape of a severely disabled boy. He can't even speak. Maybe it is because he can't speak that she finds herself telling him how difficult it is living with her eccentric, mentally fragile mother. Behind Chris' lopsided grin and gigantic blue wheelchair is a real person — with a sense of humour, a tremendous stubborn streak and a secret he has kept from everyone. For a while it seems life may actually get better. But as Jo finds out just how terrible life is for Chris, and as her own life spirals out of control, she becomes desperate to change things for both of them. In a dramatic turn of events, Jo makes a decision that could end in tragedy. This is the story of how an unusual friendship unlocks the words that neither knew they had.

Drawing on clues from Aristotle, Plato, Hobbes, Locke, Jacobson, Condillac, and Diderot, Appelbaum investigates the vocalized, acoustical aspect of audible expression. He analyzes the tendency to equate voice with speaking, and speaking with writing, the result being that vocalizing is equivalent to thinking aloud. Appelbaum affirms the body's role in vocalizing expression by proposing a new and radical interpretation of the truth of voice: that it is true if it provides a disclosure of our human contradictions. Sound, or the acoustical properties of a person's voice, is able to bring about the revolutionary new set of conditions which reveal the truth of one's condition. The author provides a unique account of the subjugation of voice by thought, indicating means for reversing the authority of the sound and for freeing up the voice. He concludes with the argument that poetic voice reconciles the search for semantic meaning with the raw, acoustical effect that the free voice causes.
