Really proud to be in this forum for Twentieth Century Music @cambUP_Music Many thanks to all the awesome work from awesome scholars @acshreff doi.org/10.1017/S14785…

@AbbyShupe I’m John! Thanks!

We fired Peggy, we had no idea she was the reason work was getting done. Thanks for letting us know.

@ogiovetti This changes my understanding of one of my fav music bois

@ThirdCoastPerc @2ndFiddle 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 also fwiw ricotta is awesome and we should be so lucky as to have ricotta producing cows!

Ladies and gentlemen: Riccardo Muti 😂😂😂😂 thx @2ndFiddle for sharing

@pmgentry @tonyjballas Ok this one, right, @pmgentry ? jstor.org/stable/20174526

@pmgentry @tonyjballas Oh yeah that’s a good one.

Best Marxist writing on music? (not adorno not zizek not jameson)

@tonyjballas Just email Brendan! sites.google.com/view/eesig/joi…

@johnpippen This sounds amazing! I'd love to. How to?

@calum_jensen @tonyjballas Ritchey has at least two post book articles to issues of music and value that are excellent. Robin almost never critiques capitalism and never employs Marxist theory.

@willmasonmusic @tonyjballas Fwiw @doctaj has a great article about Noise and neoliberal capitalism.

@C_MitchellTunes @aksocolofsky 💯

@johnpippen @aksocolofsky Thank you, John, for the background. I contribute the term being quite familiar with it. “Used by capitalists to portray people as assets.” underscores why I’ve always found the term a little too close to the darkest part of our collective history to use it comfortably.

@aksocolofsky @Lrbearclaw Yeah that refusal is often core to hegemony. People will naturalize concepts/relations (profit, housewife) as a way to reproduce inequality.

@C_MitchellTunes @aksocolofsky Tbf Foucault developed this idea as a critique of neoliberal capitalism. But it is used by capitalists to portray people as assets.

@aksocolofsky How about the rather cringeworthy “human capital”.

@Lrbearclaw @aksocolofsky Yes and the horrific “we are a family”. This is the appropriation of care language alluded to earlier in the thread. My boss literally told me “i hate it when you call me boss” im like my dude you sign my yearly reappointment. Wtf else could that be?

@aksocolofsky "We are a tEaM."

@BruthaBrother @aksocolofsky “Thatcher” Lol yes!

@aksocolofsky Personal responsibility Resilience Deregulation Political correctness Thatcher

@dankettercello @aksocolofsky Yeah portfolio in general is a big one “portfolio careers” total neoliberal propaganda

@kmaustinyoung @AbbyShupe Yes of course.

@paulisci @threadreaderapp can you unroll?
