Mexican Pointy Boots and the Tribal Scene: Global Appropriations of Local Cultural Practices in the Virtual Age by Helena Simonett, César Burgos Dávila

“…In this essay, we examine music and its performative power by engaging in issues such as the localization of global cultural practices, the embracing of cultural practices based on a shared sense of marginalization and peripheralization, as well as the appropriation and resignification of “odd” cultural practices for global consumption, resulting in a cultural mutation of such practices and their objects from “low” to “art.” …”

Design and Construction of Hybrid Music Recommendation System Integrating Music Gene by Xuelin Zhao

“…Moreover, this study verifies it through the running time of the simulation experiment, using the growth method as the way of mutation. In addition, while adopting the optimal individual retention strategy, this study makes the eigenvalues of the input matrix IX all fall within the unit circle or unit circumference and makes the maximum fitness value of the individuals in the population equal to the global optimal fitness value. …”
