Rock ‘n’ Roll Radio: A Case Study of ‘Tactics’ and Teenage Identity in Perth, WA, 1955-1960 Lorna Sharples Baker Bachelor of Communications This thesis is presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Honours in Communications School of Arts and Humanities Edith Cowan University 2018 ABSTRACT Post-war Australia was a time of celebration, of prosperity, abundance and consumerism. The booming economic and technological forces within Australia propelled the rise of popular culture and led to a transformation of traditions and identities. Most notable of these transformations was that of youth culture. The rise of the teenager, as a category of person and a consumer of culture, had an impact on the social interactions of many communities. At the same time, new technologies combined with newfound prosperity meant that popular culture, such as music, was available to all and radio became a prominent feature of everyday life. In addition, changing musical styles of the era (in this instance, I examine rock ‘n’ roll) were marketed towards teenagers, and this led to an expansion of self-expression and self- awareness amongst young people. This case study refers to the work of De Certeau (1984), specifically, his concept of ‘strategies’ and tactics’, and investigates the role that radio played in the emergence and development of a distinctive youth culture in Perth. A key focus of this study is to explore how radio addressed the new social categories of the post-war period, and the consequent impact of this on the everyday lives, practices and past- times of WA teenagers. Through semi-structured interviews and a content analysis of archival newspaper articles, this case study will measure the difference between those who experienced the social and cultural changes (teenagers), and those who reported on them (print media). i DECLARATION I certify that this thesis does not, to the best of my knowledge and belief: (i) incorporate without acknowledgement any material previously submitted for a degree or diploma in any institution of higher education; (ii) contain any material previously published or written by another person except where due reference is made in the text; or (iii) contain any defamatory material.

I initially became interested in this field after examining the phenomenon of pirate radio in Britain for my undergraduate degree, the Popular Music and Culture Unit (CMM3104), in 2012. Through secondary research, I examined this phenomenon from a cultural studies perspective by looking at radio’s impact upon U.K. youth subcultures of the 1960’s. Focusing upon the British Broadcasting industry (BBC), I identified their efforts to resist the potential commercialisation (and Americanisation) of British radio, and the effects this had on the distribution of popular music throughout the U.K. My research project into the BBC led me to reflect upon my own experiences with radio, and in turn, radio’s significance for Australian culture. I was intrigued as to whether WA teenagers experienced the same music limitations as British youth had, or whether Australia’s radio content was more liberal in the 1950’s and 1960’s. Through my examination of Australian history in the 1940’s and 1950’s, it became evident that Australian popular culture, and the Australian media industries were more reflective of America’s broadcasting formats than the U.K. radio industry during this time. The following section will outline the historical context of this thesis, specifically making the link between the presence and influence of the American servicemen on Australian cities; the post-war Australian economy and the increased importance and prominence of popular culture within the home. 1 Historical Context This section will provide a historical context prior to the diversification of the radio industry. Starting with the social conditions which faced Australians during WW2, and the impact of the visiting American servicemen, I explore how Australian society changed in the decade after the war. I discuss the conditions which led to post-war prosperity - the rise in employment, home ownership, consumer practises and leisure pursuits. These conditions also provided a space for the re-energised popular culture to become a part of everyday life. The American Influence Australia had long looked to Britain for its national identity, its traditions and its values, and British patriotism, prior to the 1940s, was a uniting force for almost all Australians (Stratton, 1992, p.27). In years past, many Australians died to defend Britain, and many more would. However, with the rising influence of globalisation, modernisation and the influx of overseas popular culture products, Australia was beginning to lose its cultural ties to Britain. Media products, such as film and the cinema, introduced American culture to Australian audiences in the early

  • Music on PBS: a History of Music Programming at a Community Radio Station
    Music on PBS: A History of Music Programming at a Community Radio Station Rochelle Lade (BArts Monash, MArts RMIT) A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy January 2021 Abstract This historical case study explores the programs broadcast by Melbourne community radio station PBS from 1979 to 2019 and the way programming decisions were made. PBS has always been an unplaylisted, specialist music station. Decisions about what music is played are made by individual program announcers according to their own tastes, not through algorithms or by applying audience research, music sales rankings or other formal quantitative methods. These decisions are also shaped by the station’s status as a licenced community radio broadcaster. This licence category requires community access and participation in the station’s operations. Data was gathered from archives, in‐depth interviews and a quantitative analysis of programs broadcast over the four decades since PBS was founded in 1976. Based on a Bourdieusian approach to the field, a range of cultural intermediaries are identified. These are people who made and influenced programming decisions, including announcers, program managers, station managers, Board members and the programming committee. Being progressive requires change. This research has found an inherent tension between the station’s values of cooperative decision‐making and the broadcasting of progressive music. Knowledge in the fields of community radio and music is advanced by exploring how cultural intermediaries at PBS made decisions to realise eth station’s goals of community access and participation. ii Acknowledgements To my supervisors, Jock Given and Ellie Rennie, and in the early phase of this research Aneta Podkalicka, I am extremely grateful to have been given your knowledge, wisdom and support.

  • The Role of Rail in Unlocking Housing Supply London First Mark Carne CEO Network Rail 6 September 2016
    The role of rail in unlocking housing supply London First Mark Carne CEO Network Rail 6 September 2016 Britain’s railway is a success story Rail is seldom out of the news. Over the last few months there has been an inspection of the British rail industry in the media, driven by the debate around nationalisation. Britain's railway is a huge success story. Over the last 20 years, the number of people travelling by rail in this country has doubled. This comes after almost a century of decline. We’ve witnessed a massive transformation in Britain's rail. Today, we're Europe's fastest growing railway and in the last decade, we've reduced the cost of running the infrastructure of Britain's railway by 40 percent. And we’re investing more in our railways than any other country in Europe, and we're Europe's safest railway too. But we are facing a capacity challenge This is a remarkable success story on which we can now build. But there is a challenge. A result of the success of Britain's railways is that the passenger growth we’ve seen is beginning to put serious strain on the network. Almost any major city today will have trains coming into it where passengers have had to stand for extended periods of time. So, we must address how we best support the country to unlock economic growth potential from the people who would like to use our rail network - but are currently put off by congestion, and from people who do already travel on the network - but would like to be more productive while on it.

  • 1 Before London Started Swinging: Representing the British Beatniks David Buckingham This Essay Is Part of a Larger Project
    Before London started swinging: representing the British beatniks David Buckingham This essay is part of a larger project, Growing Up Modern: Childhood, Youth and Popular Culture Since 1945. More information about the project, and illustrated versions of all the essays can be found at: https://davidbuckingham.net/growing-up-modern/. In his autobiography, Personal Copy, the journalist and broadcaster Ray Gosling describes a feeling of imminent change that was shared by many young people at the very end of the 1950s: There was just this feeling… that we were important, that something was going to happen. How, and in what direction, we didn’t know. And we didn’t much care. It was a very, very, very odd feeling, but we felt it. Gosling himself came from a frugal working-class background in the provincial English city of Northampton. In 1959, he dropped out of university and set up a youth centre in Leicester that was run autonomously by a committee of young people. The academic Richard Hoggart – the author of The Uses of Literacy, who was soon to become the founding director of the Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies (CCCS) at Birmingham University – was on his management committee. Although Gosling’s youth centre collapsed, he developed the argument for youth-led welfare provision in a pamphlet for the Fabian Society; and he went on to build a career as a writer and public speaker, offering an insider’s perspective on the emerging youth culture of the time. He became associated with the New Left, and began to mix in the more cosmopolitan culture of London’s coffee bars, making friends with Stuart Hall (then the editor of the New Left Review) and the novelist Colin MacInnes, whom he described as his ‘mentor’.

  • A Relational Syntax Study on Movement and Space at King’S Cross and Piccadilly Circus Underground Stations, London, UK
    Movement Navigator: A Relational Syntax Study on Movement and Space at King’s Cross and Piccadilly Circus Underground Stations, London, UK Rapit Suvanajata, Ph.D. ´Ã. þԱµÂì ÊØÇÃóЪ¯ Faculty of Architecture, King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang ¤³Ðʶһѵ¡ÃÃÁÈÒʵÃì ʶҺѹ෤â¹âÅÂÕ¾ÃШÍÁà¡ÅÒà¨é Ò¤é س·ËÒÃÅÒ´¡Ãкѧ Abstract The article explores the design and analytical method Relational Syntax [1], using both a syntactical approach as well as on-site observations. The architecture of King’s Cross and Piccadilly Circus Underground stations in London is used as the laboratory in which a theoretical discussion on movement and dimensional relations in architectural space is conducted. The two stations are among the most well-known and used in the London Underground system. Observations were made at these highly-used stations in order to establish an overall understanding of the spatial mechanism through social and natural movement. Considering the case studies as both texts and experiences, the article shows that spatial analysis and bodily movement can be explained, compared and put into sets of relations that can be pre-established or scripted during architects’ design activities. It is argued that the concept of ‘script’ [2] can be used bi-directionally in both the design and analysis of architecture. The research and arguments presented in this paper are being developed to form the basis of an application tool. Based on the theory of Relational Syntax, this application tool can be used to process building requirements generated from the design or analysis of a piece of architecture into scripts in order to systematically and aesthetically describe and generate spatial relations in buildings.

  • An American History of Rock and Roll F
    Created in collaboration with Los Angeles United School District teacher Brian Fritch, “An American History of Rock and Roll” is a High School course drawing entirely upon the materials freely available at Teachrock.org. The course integrates the history of the United States from the 1950s on with the history of American popular music. In taking the course, students consider how genres such as Rock and Roll, Pop, Folk, Latin, and Hip Hop have both reflected and informed the cultural, social, and political developments that have occurred in the past 7 decades of U.S. History. The course is divided into four chronological units, with each unit containing approximately 20 media-rich lessons from TeachRock.org. The course culminates in a project-based capstone activity in which students teams create their own short documentary film. The course will span 1-2 semesters, depending on how many lessons the teacher seeks to use in each unit. Teachers can also supplement the curriculum with additional collections TeachRock offers. For instance, lessons from CNN Soundtracks Collection can be drawn upon to teach more recent moments in U.S. History, from Hurricane Katrina to 9/11 to the Stonewall Rebellion to the #BlackLivesMatter movement. The Music that Shaped America Curriculum focuses on U.S. History before the 20th Century, with particular focus on issues of slavery and abolition, the Civil War, and Reconstruction. TeachRock’s Rumble: The Indians who Rocked the World collection examines U.S. History from the Native American point of view, with lessons on Wounded Knee, the Red Power Movement, and the history of cultural appropriation.

  • An Ipswich Case Study: How Does Local Broadcast Media Value, Esteem and Provide Voice to a Rapidly Changing Urban Centre?
    An Ipswich Case Study: How Does Local Broadcast Media value, esteem and provide voice to a rapidly changing urban centre? Doctor of Philosophy Ashley Paul Jones Graduate Diploma of Media Production Master of Arts in Media Production 2016 i ABSTRACT Radio is part of our everyday life experience in various rooms around the home, in the car and as a portable device. Its impact and connection with the local community was immediate since its inception in Australia in 1923. Radio became directly part of the City of Ipswich in 1935 with the birth of 4IP (Ipswich). Local people were avid consumers of broadcast media and recognised that, in particular, 4IP was something that they could both participate in and consume. It gave people a voice; historically 4IP broadcast local choirs, soloists, produced youth programs and generally reflected the community in which it existed. The radio station moved out of Ipswich and established itself in Brisbane during 1970s. This move resulted in a loss of a voice in the local area through broadcast radio. Similarly, the place, Ipswich City changed dramatically and is confronted with significant population growth and the emergence of an old and new Ipswich that is potentially problematic for the local council to manage. The aim is to provide a sense of localism that was strongly present in the early decades of Ipswich as evidenced by the interactions with 4IP; the identity of the two is remarkable because of their parallel flux. My thesis will provide a unique insight into the relationship between a community, that community’s membership and local radio services.

  • Permanency Planning Today
    Summer 2006 Permanency Planning Today YOUTH DEFINED PERMANENCY The names of the National Resource Center for Family-Centered Practice and Permanency Planning and our newsletter, Permanency Planning Today, make it clear that we are all about permanency. But just what does “permanence” mean? The Federal Government, public child welfare agencies, and the other sources offer formal definitions, but perhaps it is the definitions that come from young people themselves that help us best understand what permanence means to them. What is your definition of permanence? What is it that each individual child and adolescent sees as permanence for him or herself? Federal Definition “A child may be said to have achieved a permanent home when the child is reunified with his or her fam- ily, when a finalized adoption has occurred, or when a legal guardian has been established for the child.” US DHHS (2005) Child Welfare Outcomes 2002: Annual Report http://www.acf.dhhs.gov/programs/cb/stats_research/index.htm#cw Components of Permanence PERMANENCE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE NATIONAL FRAMEWORK: “Permanence is not a philosophical process, a plan, or a foster care placement, nor is it intended to be a family relationship that lasts only until the child turns age 18. Rather, permanence is about locat- ing and supporting a lifetime family ... Permanence should bring physical, legal and emotional safe- ty and security within the context of a family relationship and allow multiple relationships with a vari- ety of caring adults ... Permanence is achieved with a family relationship that offers safe, stable, and committed parenting, unconditional love and lifelong support, and legal family membership status ..

    “I had to give up so, so much” A Narrative Study to Investigate the Impact of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) on the Lives of Young People. Melinda Williams-Wilson A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Bournemouth University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy July 2009 Copyright Statement This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with its author and due acknowledgement must always be made of the use of any material contained in, or derived from, this thesis. 2 Abstract Melinda Williams-Wilson “I had to give up so, so much” A Narrative Study to Investigate the Impact of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) on the Lives of Young People. The aim of this research was to explore the experiences of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome among a small group of adolescents, through three research questions: What are the personal experiences of young people with CFS – how does the condition affect their daily lives – including educational, social and psychological perspectives. Secondly, how does CFS impact family life – how does the condition influence not only the lives of sufferers but also those closest to them? Finally, can the knowledge base be deepened to help guide practice for those caring for the needs of adolescent CFS sufferers and their families? The study used a narrative approach in an attempt to capture young people‘s stories, and to provide a window of insight into the personal impacts of CFS on the lives of individuals. Open-ended interviews with eight young CFS sufferers (11 to 18 year olds) were employed that explored personal experiences of CFS.
