Michael Tsangaris, University of Piraeus, Greece Undoubtedly, all past media forms held possibilities for alternative communications but most of the times commodification that turns everything into ‘Spectacle’ degenerated such options. Even some of the most experimental forms of painting, photography, music or moving images, after all, removed far away from the original ideological frames in which they were initially created, and got absorbed by the mainstream cultural industry. In fact, alternative media forms such as aggressive rock music, street graffiti or tattoos, were initially used to express distinctive youth cultural scenes or counter-movements challenging the dominant culture.

  • Bill Analysis and Fiscal Impact Statement
    The Florida Senate BILL ANALYSIS AND FISCAL IMPACT STATEMENT (This document is based on the provisions contained in the legislation as of the latest date listed below.) Prepared By: The Professional Staff of the Committee on Community Affairs BILL: CS/SB 566 INTRODUCER: Community Affairs Committee and Senator Bracy SUBJECT: Prohibited Discrimination DATE: January 14, 2020 REVISED: ANALYST STAFF DIRECTOR REFERENCE ACTION 1. Paglialonga Ryon CA Fav/CS 2. JU 3. RC Please see Section IX. for Additional Information: COMMITTEE SUBSTITUTE - Substantial Changes I. Summary: CS/SB 566 amends the Florida Civil Rights Act of 1992 to define “race” as “inclusive of traits historically associated with race, including, but not limited to, hair texture, hair type, and protective hairstyles.” Under the bill, a “protective hairstyle” includes, but is not limited to, hairstyles such as braids, locks, or twists. Currently, an individual’s hair texture, such as curly or straight hair, is considered an immutable characteristic of one's identity and is protected from discrimination. However, this protection does not extend to an individual’s hairstyle because it is considered a mutable characteristic, which is a product of personal choice. This bill’s definition of “race” and “protective hairstyle” is also incorporated in other sections of state law. The bill prohibits employers, landlords, real estate sellers, real estate financiers, Florida K-20 public education institutions, and certain parties receiving funds from the Florida Housing Finance Corporation from discriminating against an individual for racial traits and protective hairstyles. The bill provides individuals a legal cause of action to allege that a party unlawfully discriminated against them based on any trait historically associated with race, including a protective hairstyle.

  • Mohawk Hairstyle
    Mohawk hairstyle The mohawk (also referred to as a mohican) is a hairstyle in which, in the most common variety, both sides of the head are shaven, leaving a strip of noticeably longer hair in the center. The mohawk is also sometimes referred to as an iro in reference to the Iroquois, from whom the hairstyle is derived - though historically the hair was plucked out rather than shaved. Additionally, hairstyles bearing these names more closely resemble those worn by the Pawnee, rather than the Mohawk, Mohican/Mahican, Mohegan, or other phonetically similar tribes. The red-haired Clonycavan Man bog body found in Ireland is notable for having a well-preserved Mohawk hairstyle, dated to between 392 BCE and 201 BCE. It is today worn as an emblem of non-conformity. The world record for the tallest mohawk goes to Kazuhiro Watanabe, who has a 44.6-inch tall mohawk.[1][1] (http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/news/2012/9/record-h older-profile-kazuhiro-watanabe-tallest-mohican-44821) Contents A young man wearing a mohawk Name Historical use Style and maintenance Varieties Classic (1970s–1980s) Modern (post-1990) Fauxhawk variants See also References External links Paratroopers of the 101st Name Airborne Division in 1944 While the mohawk hairstyle takes its name from the people of the Mohawk nation, an indigenous people of North America who originally inhabited the Mohawk Valley in upstate New York,[2] the association comes from Hollywood and more specifically from the popular 1939 movie Drums Along the Mohawk starring Henry Fonda. The Mohawk and the rest of the Iroquois confederacy (Seneca, Cayuga, Onondaga, Tuscarora and Oneida) in fact wore a square of hair on the back of the crown of the head.

Abstract When Nirvana found sudden commercial success with the song “Smells Like Teen Spirit” in 1991, the music industry’s attention became focused on Seattle for the first time. The city, however, had a rich musical tradition going back decades. This thesis examines the rise and fall of music communities in Seattle and the Pacific Northwest from the 1950s to the 1990s: the jazz mileu in Seattle in the 1950s, the Pacific Northwest garage rock network of the 1960s, and the alternative music community of the 1980s and early 1990s.
