  • Introduction to Ernst Bertram, Nietzsche: Attempt at a Mythology1 by Pierre Hadot Translated by Paul Bishop Translator’S Preface 1
    Introduction to Ernst Bertram, Nietzsche: Attempt at a Mythology1 by Pierre Hadot translated by Paul Bishop Translator’s Preface 1 rnst Bertram was born in Elberfeld in 1884, and he held the post of professor of EGerman literature from 1922 to 1946. A prolific scholar, he is best remembered today, if at all, for his study of Nietzsche, first published in 1929, which became an immediate bestseller. More recently, his significance as a commentator on Nietzsche has become overlooked, but in 1990, the French publishing house Éditions du Félin reprinted the French translation of his study by Robert Pitrou, first published in 1932. And in 2009 the University of Illinois Press published the first English translation, prepared by Robert E. Norton. The 1990 French edition included a preface by the renowned French scholar, Pierre Hadot. In it, he placed Bertram’s Nietzsche in its intellectual and historico- cultural context, and in particular Bertram’s friendship with another German admirer of Nietzsche, Thomas Mann. Hadot’s preface explains why Bertram’s image of Nietzsche remains so significant, and provides an excellent introduction to Bertram’s work; it has been translated here to bring it to a wider audience, and with a view to promoting further interest in Bertram’s study. 1 [ Pierre Hadot’s preface is included in the 1990 reprint of Robert Pitrou’s translation (1932) of the seventh edition (1929) of Ernst Bertram’s study of Nietzsche, available as Ernst Bertram, Nietzsche: Essai de Mythologie (Paris: Éditions du Félin, 1990, repr. 2007). For the original German edition, see Ernst Bertram, Nietzsche: Versuch einer Mythologie (Berlin: Bon- di, 1918); tenth edition (Bonn: Bouvier, 1989).

  • David Bowie: a Case Study of Authenticity in the Multifaceted Artist
    David Bowie: A Case Study of Authenticity in the Multifaceted Artist Candidate Number: 1601748 Supervisor: Dr. Geoff Baker Royal Holloway, University of London BMus (Hons) MU3391 Special Study: Dissertation 2016 Turnitin Number: 56606277 Word Count: 10, 963 2016 David Bowie: A Case Study of Authenticity in the Multifaceted Artist Abstract This dissertation draws attention to a central issue: There are limits in the applicability of “traditional” definitions of authenticity from popular music discourse. In defining authentic artists as those displaying a true sense of themselves, others and their culture, multifaceted artists, who rarely boast these qualities, are at once dismissed. Yet to one’s mind, these sorts of artists are authentic and these definitions fail to do them justice. To tackle this issue, using David Bowie, a widely acclaimed multifaceted artist, as its case study, first the “traditional” definitions are introduced and applied. Through this it is concluded that they are applicable only in part, and so not applicable consistently enough to be deemed good definitions for multifaceted artists. Following this, the characteristics of the multifaceted artist that make it difficult to apply “traditional” definitions are identified, and alternative definitions of authenticity that complement these characteristics are brought in and applied. These approaches beg the question that perhaps the issue lies not in the multifaceted nature of some artists, but with authenticity itself. Subsequently, it is submitted that authenticity itself is a limiting concept, because of its polysemous nature, and that the definitions are problematic and subjective, because they are based on the self (including the other) and culture, both subjective concepts.

  • How David Bowie ‘Unlocked Everybody’S Inner Queen’ in Spite of the Music Press
    ‘Oh You Pretty Thing!’: How David Bowie ‘Unlocked Everybody’s Inner Queen’ in Spite of the Music Press. This article focuses on the context, reportage and responses to David Bowie coming-out in the music press in 1972. By describing himself as ‘bisexual’ in a Melody Maker interview, Bowie became the first prominent male British pop star to label himself as non-heterosexual in the mass media.i He introduced a youth-oriented but widely accessible discussion of sexuality. The conversation explored the 1967 Sexual Offences Act’s complicated legacy and raised the questions of whether, even after decriminalisation, responses to queer people were ‘permissive’ and if the late-1960s and early-1970s were a period of sexual liberation. The Act allowed the press to discuss homosexuality in more detail and from varied perspectives, including those who identified as queer or homosexual.ii However, as Frank Mort argued, it cast homosexuality as a tolerable ‘private vice’ not part of public life.iii The press constructed and represented British sexual mores and negotiated a homosexual subject from this new social and legal context: through Bowie, music papers contributed to a broader conversation with a unique angle due to their conditions of production and understandings of their audience.iv The opportunity for debate was arguably ‘permissive’ but the statements made were typically conservative – particularly perceptions of queer people, their lives and identities. The article will first explain the context and antecedents of these conversations. Then it demonstrates how the music press, and subsequently the popular daily press, narrated Bowie’s sexuality, and later that of other performers, to satisfy a putatively heterosexual marketplace.

  • Apocalypse As Critical Dystopia in Modern Popular Music
    Javier Campos Calvo-Sotelo Apocalypse as Critical Dystopia in Modern Popular Music ABSTRACT The last book of the New Testament has inspired countless narratives and cultural pro- ductions. In the realm of popular music, the Apocalypse has been embraced as syn- onymous with imminent catastrophe, generating a dystopian discourse. As a tool for analysis, the concept of “critical dystopia” has built a useful means of connecting apoc- alyptic menaces, re-enchantment of the world, and social protest. At the same time, “authenticity” is a sacred dimension within rock, an antidote to commercialism and a key notion of doomsday scenarios. This article has two parts: first, a conceptual review of the state of the questions and debate involved; and second, an exposition of selected songs, followed by a summary of their main traits. KEYWORDS Apocalypse, Popular Music, Critical Dystopia, Authenticity BIOGRAPHY Javier Campos Calvo-Sotelo holds a double degree in History (Autónoma University of Madrid) and Music (Conservatory of Madrid). He earned his Doctorate in Musicology in 2008 (Complutense University of Madrid) and has been part of several research projects on popular music, modern forms of religion, Celtology, and revival; he has specialized also in areas of systematic musicology. His work has been presented in a number of publications and at international conferences. INTRODUCTION The last book of the New Testament has inspired countless narratives and cul- tural productions, most of them unaware of its complex and metaphorical con- tents.1 Apocalypse/apocalyptic has thus become a self-referential category in the collective imagination, a fascinating icon no matter its distance from the 1 I am grateful to Alejandro Campos Presas, anthropologist and a drummer in a metal band, for his valuable help in the study of heavy metal music and religious traits involved.
