  • acting in Concert Music community and political action
    Contemporary Sociology, 1999
    Co-Authors: Mark Mattern
    Abstract:

    "A highly readable, innovative investigation of the potential political implications of popular Music." --Edwar Bryan Portis, Texas A&M University "Political science has too often ignored the critical political dimensions of Music in social life. Now Mark Mattern has given us a groundbreaking examination of the varied political functions of populist Musics--from social glue to social dynamite--as reflected in three fascinating, diverse, and disenfranchised case-study communities. Acting in Concert is, truly, Music to intellectual ears." --George H. Lewis, author of Side Saddle on the Golden Calf: Social Structure and Popular Culture in America "Acting in Concert is a pioneering work that opens up new ways of thinking about the public dimensions of Music. In an era when Music is all too often packaged, standardized, and drained of energy and political passion, Mattern shows through vivid case studies and probing discussion of large ideas like politics and community that people's participation in the creation and experience of Music can be a vital resource for democracy." --Harry C. Boyte, coauthor of Building America In this lively account of politics and popular Music, Mark Mattern develops the concept of "acting in Concert," a metaphor for community-based political action through Music. Through three detailed case studies of Chilean, Cajun, and American Indian popular Music, Mattern explores the way popular muisicians forge community and lead members of their communities in several distinct kinds of political action that would be difficult or impossible among individuals who are not linked by communal ties. More than just entertainment, Mattern argues that popular Music can serve as a social glue for bringing together a multitude of voices that might otherwise remain silent, and that political action through Music can increase the potential for relatively marginalized people to choose and determine their own fate. Mark Mattern is an assistant professor of political science at Chapman University, Orange, California.

  • Can "steroid switching" improve steroid-induced Musical hallucinations in a patient with terminal cancer?
    Journal of palliative medicine, 2010
    Co-Authors: Seitetsu Kanemura, Hitoshi Tanimukai, Satoru Tsuneto
    Abstract:

    Abstract The patient was a 57-year-old woman with malignant pleural mesothelioma. She had a past history of anxiety neurosis but not had any history of otological diseases. On admission to our hospice (day 1), she complained of dyspnea and wheezing associated with the progression of her underlying disease. After we started oral betamethasone (2 mg/d), dyspnea was alleviated and the frequency of wheezing was reduced. On day 3, she began to experience Musical hallucinations that were manifested in opera/piano Concert Music and a child's voice. The episodes of Musical hallucinations occurred approximately 10 times a day and disappeared spontaneously within several minutes. She had not experienced these symptoms before. We reduced the dose of betamethasone to 1 mg/d, but the Musical hallucinations continued. Then on day 11, we switched betamethasone (1 mg/d) to prednisolone (10 mg/d) and we then gradually tapered off prednisolone. The frequency of Musical hallucinations decreased and she ceased to experience ...

  • Music, movement and marimba: an investigation of the role of movement and gesture in communicating Musical expression to an audience
    Psychology of Music, 2009
    Co-Authors: Mary C. Broughton, Catherine J. Stevens
    Abstract:

    Research in many fields has demonstrated the perceptual advantages of experiencing the world through multiple sensory modalities for accurate and effective communication. The aim of the current study was to test the assumption that visual perception of movement plays a role in communicating a Musically expressive performance. In the live, Concert Music setting, performers have increased opportunities for engaging audience attention and guiding awareness to Musical content, by presenting information simultaneously via multiple modalities. Nonverbal behaviours and gestures are natural and integral components in interpersonal communication. This study is concerned with investigating the interaction of auditory and visual information in communicating Musical expression to an audience. This study is of particular relevance to the marimba (a tuned, wood instrument in the percussion family) because of its relatively restricted range of expressive capabilities such as articulation and duration.
