Meeting Barthes at Fischer-Dieskau’s Mill
Scholars have traditionally analyzed Lieder from a perspective of relative objectivity, despite a longstanding recognition of the situated character of hermeneutic work within musicology and music theory. This research essentially suppresses the personal aspects that may condition it: for example, a scholar’s background in performance and tendency toward co-performance, or repeated encounters with a song, recording, and a specific singer’s voice. There has been one additional omission resulting from this tendency to project objectivity in Anglo-American scholarship. Native Anglophones have neglected to explore how our varied but pervasive roles as second-language readers or speakers inflect the way that we hear and write about German song.
In response to these lacunae, this article offers a close reading of the song “Am Feierabend” from Franz Schubert’s Die schöne Müllerin (D. 795) in relationship to a 1971 recording by Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau and Gerald Moore. I examine the role that my linguistic identity—as an Anglophone who enjoys an unsteady fluency in German—plays in an essentially co-performing understanding of the song’s poem, musical details, and the particular vocal decisions of Fischer-Dieskau. Beginning in conversation with Roland Barthes’s “The Grain of the Voice,” the essay introduces perspectives from literary theorists, linguists, musicologists, and music theorists to clarify the issues of materiality, meaning, linguistic identity, and rhythm that correspond to the experience of sung German poetry that the analysis traces. The analysis then focuses on the prominence of the German word “merkte” in Müller’s poem, Schubert’s setting, and Fischer-Dieskau’s rendering of the song. This account reevaluates traditional analytical practices concerning song, as well as past scholarship on Barthes’s claims within the “Grain” essay, by focusing on the issues of identity, linguistic materiality, meaning, and the love of the foreign in listening to Lieder.

Smithereens and the Economy of Attention
While driving, one night, Chris got distracted by a notification on his phone and provoked the car accident that killed his fiancé. Smithereens is centered on the idea that digital devices are constantly calling for our attention and that their design makes their use addictive. This happens because big internet companies are earning a fortune through a new economic model based precisely on the managing of attention and the extraction of behavioral data. This chapter looks at the reasons and strategies behind the monetization of attention and considers the dynamics through which a pathological use of online platforms and digital devices is forced on the user.

Trio acquitted in attempted finger-chop case
[Rager] told jurors [Shena Moore] invited her to the mobile home she shared with [Gerald Moore Jr.] and [John Gulley] under the pretense of repairing a friendship that had become estranged after Gulley sent her a series of lewd text messages. After Rager re-entered the home a third time brandishing the garden pruners, an altercation ensued as she attempted to wrestle the pruners from her, resulting in the laceration to Rager's forehead, Moore told the jury. \"As prosecutors, we would loved to have been able to offer those into evidence at trial,\" he said. \"We had hoped that ([Kasondra Zirkle]'s) testimony, which was consistent with the victim's testimony, would be sufficient to overcome that hurdle, but unfortunately that didn't happen.\"
