The first comparative historical study of the six Disneyland theme parks around the world in five distinct cultures: the USA, Tokyo, Paris, Hong Kong and Shanghai. Situates the parks in their respective historic contexts at the time of their opening, and considers the part that class plays in the success or failure of these ventures

The Race of Sound

In The Race of Sound Nina Sun Eidsheim traces the ways in which sonic attributes that might seem natural, such as the voice and its qualities, are socially produced. Eidsheim illustrates how listeners measure race through sound and locate racial subjectivities in vocal timbre—the color or tone of a voice. Eidsheim examines singers Marian Anderson, Billie Holiday, and Jimmy Scott as well as the vocal synthesis technology Vocaloid to show how listeners carry a series of assumptions about the nature of the voice and to whom it belongs. Outlining how the voice is linked to ideas of racial essentialism and authenticity, Eidsheim untangles the relationship between race, gender, vocal technique, and timbre while addressing an undertheorized space of racial and ethnic performance. In so doing, she advances our knowledge of the cultural-historical formation of the timbral politics of difference and the ways that comprehending voice remains central to understanding human experience, all the while advocating for a form of listening that would allow us to hear singers in a self-reflexive, denaturalized way

The Gamut: A Journal of Ideas and Information, No. 36, Summer 1992

CONTENTS OF ISSUE NO. 36, SUMMER, 1992 EDITORIAL Louis T. Milic: Perks: The Other Side, 3 When political figures come under scrutiny it is usually for the wrong reasons, for juicy but venial offenses that stir gossip and envy. The real abuse of power lies not in free haircuts or bounced checks but in campaign financing. CONTEST Leonard Trawick: Winners of THE GAMUT Cartoon Prize, 1992, 5 Stiff Paper, 5 Through surprise, condensation, and allusion, cartoons reveal to us the foibles of our age and the rebel hidden in us all. Three prize-winning cartoons plus eight honorable mentions. ECONOMICS Louis T. Milic: Inflation, Consumers, and the CPI, 18 Though there is no such thing as an average household, the market basket of this hypothetical family can, when reflected in the Consumer Price Index, help real households manage their budgets in inflationary times. THE SIXTIES Patrick Joseph O\u27Connor: Moody\u27s Skidrow Beanery, 30 When the Beat movement arrived in Wichita, Kansas, beatniks and hobos came to the Beanery for jailhouse chili and artistic freedom. But the Midwest could not tolerate such nonconformity and shut the place down. LAW Richard L Mattis: The Supreme Court\u27s First Decade, 36 Immediately after its formation in 1789, the Supreme Court began to define its powers and duties despite the amorphous instructions in the Constitution. It established for itself the power and dignity that Chief Justice John Marshall was later to consolidate. But for the first justices, the Court was more often a chore than a high honor. PRINTING Dean H Keller: Incunabula, 46 Johann Gutenberg\u27s famous Bible (1455), the first considerable document to be printed from movable type, was a miraculous event which set off the explosive development of printing in Europe. LITERATURE Lucas Myers: Attila Jozsef: A Hungarian Fate, 56 Born into the fragmented world of Hungary in the early twentieth century, J6zsef created some of that nation\u27s greatest poetry out of the poverty and instability of his circumstances. OPINION Barton R. Friedman: Jefferson and Affirmative Action, 69 Equal opportunity should begin with public education since education, not dispensation, should be the way to enter the aristocracy of talent. ARCHAEOLOGY David R. Bush: The Unknown Soldier, 72 From 1862 to 1865 Johnson\u27s Island, in Lake Erie near Marblehead, Ohio, was the site of a prison camp for Confederate soldiers. A beautifully made ring recently excavated there helps us speculate about the conditions and activities of those prisoners. POETRY Richard Jackson: True or False, 79 With an editorial commentary. BIOGRAPHY Linda B. McLatchie: The Mystery of Elizabeth Whitman, 85 In 1788 Elizabeth Whitman, an unmarried woman from a prominent Connecticut family, died in childbirth under an assumed name in an obscure inn. The resulting scandal illustrates the harshness of the double standard of earlier days.
