    1 The Counterculture TEKS 20(A), 20(B), 20(C), 20(E) 2 Listen During the 1960s and 1970s the values of many young Americans ran counter to those of traditional American culture. Those in this counterculture promoted freedom and individuality and challenged the authority of mainstream America. Their freer fashions and styles, like working- class clothing and long hair and beards, rejected the stiffness of the corporate world. Often they identified with the poor and downtrodden. 3 Listen The new generation also demanded freedom in personal relationships, leading to a “sexual revolution.” Young men and women experimented with different living arrangements, including living together outside of marriage. Part of this new freedom involved using psychedelic drugs. Drug use, especially marijuana, became more widespread. 4 Listen Music also contributed to the cultural changes of the 1960s, with popular youth rock groups such as the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. Symbolic of the new wave of music was the 1969 gathering of counterculture youth at the Woodstock festival in upstate New York. Some 400,000 people listened to major rock bands and enjoyed fellowship with each other. Some looked at it as a model for the new, more peaceful world. 5 Listen Many others, both young and old, deplored Woodstock, disturbed by what they saw as a rejection of traditional morals and important mainstream values. By the 1980s the young people of the counterculture had grown older, and most, who came from middle- class America, drifted back into the mainstream culture. 6 The Counterculture 1.

Surveying the area through a lens of geographic place and space, this research will look at the historical factors that led to the rise of a counterculture here. To contextualize this development, it is necessary to examine the development of a cosmopolitan neighborhood after World War II that was multicultural and bohemian into something culturally unique.

    Item 23 CITY COUNCIl REPORT Meeting Date: June 27, 2017 General Plan Element: Economic Vitality General Plan Goal: Sustain Scottsdale as a tourist destination ACTION Adopt Resolution No. 10821 authorizing a FY 2017/18 Tourism Development Fund operating contingency transfer in the amount of $650,000 to the Tourism and Events Department operating budget for use in supporting the 2018 Canal Convergence events. BACKGROUND It started as an idea, a conversation, a meeting and grew into a partnership between the City of Scottsdale, Scottsdale Public Art and Salt River Project. Many others have since joined, all of whom share in the belief that Public Space conceived upon the nature of what supports us, what keeps us here, what inspires our creativity and enables our growth is the reflection of all that is important for sustaining life in this desert city. Canal Convergence is this idea. Since 2012 it has been a place of engagement, a place where international and local artists come together to celebrate a one of a kind community environment and immersive art experience for all, and a new point of pride for Scottsdale residents and businesses. As Canal Convergence began taking shape, the Tourism Strategic Plan adopted by City Council in 2013 outlined the importance of creating a destination event during the tourism industry's shoulder season (May through December). Through the Council appointed Tourism Advisory Task Force (TATF) and Request for Proposal (RFP) process, the city contracted with Webb Management Services to complete a three-phased destination event study. The goal of the study (Webb Report) was to identify events that would: 1.

    Neotrance and the Psychedelic Festival GRAHAM ST JOHN UNIVERSITY OF REGINA, UNIVERSITY OF QUEENSLAND Abstract !is article explores the religio-spiritual characteristics of psytrance (psychedelic trance), attending speci"cally to the characteristics of what I call neotrance apparent within the contemporary trance event, the countercultural inheritance of the “tribal” psytrance festival, and the dramatizing of participants’ “ultimate concerns” within the festival framework. An exploration of the psychedelic festival offers insights on ecstatic (self- transcendent), performative (self-expressive) and re!exive (conscious alternative) trajectories within psytrance music culture.

Communal activism spread and flourished until the mid-1970s in many parts of the world. To analyse this global phenomenon, this thesis explores the similarities and differences between the commune movements of Denmark, UK and the US. By examining the motivations for the communal revival, links with 1960s radicalism, communes’ praxis and outward-facing activities, and the crisis within the commune movement and responses to it, this thesis places communal activism within the context of wider social movements for social change. Challenging existing interpretations which have understood the communal revival as an alternative living experiment to the nuclear family, or as a smaller part of the counter-culture, this thesis argues that the commune participants created varied and new experiments for a total revolution against the prevailing social order and its dominant values and institutions, including the patriarchal family and capitalism.

Students, clergy, intellectuals often marched first, and later they were joined by many others, from ecologists to hippies to women’s liberationists.… [W]hen cultural activists in Ann Arbor, Michigan, met [in 1969] to discuss drugs in the city representatives appeared from the White Panthers, Black Berets, God’s Children Motorcycle Club, the Sunnygoode Street Commune, and Congolian Maulers, a ‘commune of art, music, and general freaks’. Terry H. Anderson, The Movement and the Sixties (1995, xi) Hippies … constituted themselves as walking critiques of bureaucratic rationality.… By the late 1960s ‘freakified’ youth were exploring new aspects of self-hood which they had never previously thought existed. Indulgence in drug experiences, sex, communal activities, be-ins, sit-ins, demonstrations, riots, busts, trips with no destination in particular, not only gave subculture members a set of common experiences, but also opened up vast new capacities of self-hood for exploration.
