Japanese City Pop abroad : findings from an online music community survey

Sommet, Moritz ; Kato, Ken

City Pop is a loosely defined musical genre that first emerged in Japan in the late 1970s. Having undergone several recontextualizations and revivals in its country of origin, the genre has recently gained an international following among young Internet users. The most enthusiastic of City Pop’s new fans meet in social media groups and online forums; as of late 2020, a dozen fan communities...

Transition from light diffusion to localization in three-dimensional amorphous dielectric networks near the band edge

Haberko, Jakub ; Froufe-Pérez, Luis S. ; Scheffold, Frank

In: Nature Communications, 2020, vol. 11, no. 1, p. 4867

AbstractLocalization of light is the photon analog of electron localization in disordered lattices, for whose discovery Anderson received the Nobel prize in 1977. The question about its existence in open three-dimensional materials has eluded an experimental and full theoretical verification for decades. Here we study numerically electromagnetic vector wave transmittance through realistic...

Intermediality and the discursive construction of popular music genres: the case of ‘Japanese City Pop’

Sommet, Moritz

In: Handai ongaku gakuhō / Journal of Handai Music Studies, 2020/16/17//15-42

Commonly said to embody the 'urbane' and 'refined' lifestyle of metropolitan Tokyo and to prefigure the transnational and consumerist characteristics of today's mainstream J-Pop, Japanese City Pop has undergone several recontextualizations since it first surfaced in the last quarter of the 20th century. I use City Pop as an example to interrogate the intermedial qualities of the processes at...

Unsupervised and Parameter-Free Clustering of Large Graphs for Knowledge Exploration and Recommendation

Lutov, Artem ; Cudré-Mauroux, Philippe (Dir.)

Thèse de doctorat : Université de Fribourg, 2020 ; no. 2192.

We live in an Information Age, facing a rapid increase in the amount of information that is exchanged. This permanently growing amount of data makes the ability to store, analyze, and act upon information a primary concern (in addition to the obvious privacy, legal and ethical issues that are related), raising the question: “How can one consume Big Data and transformit into actionable...
