So, again, I have to apologise – this is slightly off topic in terms of interaction related stuff.  But I spent quite a bit of time working on this lecture recently and then gave it last week at the University of Technology as part of my Audio Culture subject so I though I would throw it up here for the hell of it.

The title is every so slightly misleading because whilst it certaintly talks about Dubstep, it is focussed largely on critical theory – and specifically walking through some of the major critical frameworks of the past 50 years or so and discussing how these might be used to investigate a cultural phenomena such as Dubstep.  Also touches on Moral Panic, London pirate radio stations and some social psychology – namely the outgroup homogeneity effect.  The kids seemed to enjoy it and the arguments in the tutorials about Brostep and Skrillex got nice and heated.  Hilarious.
