Final paper examples

Hello all,
A final posting for the semester from the I and I.
I'm posting two papers from the class that were exceptionally focused and well written.

In addition to some of the readings from the semester, we consider them as good examples of academic writing on aesthetics and critical theory.

Jonathan Kaiser: Folk
 Culture, 
Common
 Space, 
Subversive 
Possibilities 
in 
Everyday
 Life

Robin Schwartzman: Leisure, Pleasure, Authenticity and Process

This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like 'Mixview' that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you're listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of "neighbors" will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune "Social" is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
