  • Nostalgia and Representations of Mod in Quadrophenia and Absolute
    ‘This can’t be the scene’: Nostalgia and Representations of Mod in Quadrophenia and Absolute Beginners Author[s]: Jamie Zabel Source: Moveable Type, Vol.12, ‘Nostalgia’ (2020) DOI: 10.14324/111.1755-4527.108 Moveable Type is a Graduate, Peer-Reviewed Journal based in the Department of English at UCL. © 2020 Jamie Zabel. This is an Open Access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License (CC-BY) 4.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original author and source are credited. Moveable Type 12 (2020) ‘This can’t be the scene’: Nostalgia and Representations of Mod in Quadrophenia and Absolute Beginners Jamie Zabel This paper examines critical commentary on The Who’s Quadrophenia as well as Colin MacInnes’ novel Absolute Beginners and other prose writing to locate the nostalgia for youth culture, specifically Mod, that these texts articulate. Additionally, this paper performs a comparative narrative analysis of Absolute Beginners and Quadrophenia which establishes that these texts speak to Mod/pre-Mod superficiality and its ultimate failure as a subculture rather that its potency as a subcultural form. As a result, a comparison of these two texts calls the nostalgia that the album particularly generates into question. * Introduction On the surface, Colin MacInnes’ novel Absolute Beginners and The Who’s album Quadrophenia tell the stories of young white men who find a sense of belonging and identity in the Mod subculture, a way to challenge an overbearing and dominant parental culture. However, in the end, both of the texts’ protagonists become disillusioned; the Mod subculture does not offer the belonging or sense of purpose that they thought it would.

Seconda cosa: mi scuso con tutti per il ritardo, causa trasloco, quindi una causa giusta. Non sono un appassionato delle olimpiadi, però mi sono visto con piacere la cerimonia di apertura, è stato uno spettacolo molto incentrato sull’ “Inghilterra regna”, partendo dalla rivoluzione industriale e “l’impero dove non tramonta mai il sole” ed arrivando alla cosa che mi interessa di più: la musica, la loro musica! Il regista di Trainspotting Danny Boyle ha diretto lo spettacolo in maniera egregia mixando benissimo questi vari ingredienti e aggiungendoci inoltre un pizzico di comicità con il siparietto della regina con 007 che si paracadutano nello stadio olimpico e Rowan Atkinson che suona la colonna sonora di “momenti di gloria”. Dal punto di vista musicale è stato quasi inserito tutto compresa una canzone dei Pistols che nel ’77 cantavano contro la regina e gli schemi imposti, chissà lei come l’avrà presa… Ovviamente i commentatori sky non hanno riconosciuto “my generation degli “Who, ne “A message to you Rudy” degli Specials, ne i prodigy, ne gli Arctic Monkey che hanno suonato dal vivo, hanno scambiato i Sex Pistols per i Kiss e non hanno riconosciuto “Forever blowing bubbles”, omaggio al West Ham (e di conseguenza all'East End londinese).

  • The Working-Class and Post-War Britain in Pete Townshend's
    Class, Youth, and Dirty Jobs: the working-class and post-war Britain in Pete Townshend’s Quadrophenia This chapter examines Pete Townshend’s Quadrophenia (1973) and the way in which it depicts continuity and change in the lives of the British working-class in the period that the album documents (1964/5), the political milieu in which it was written (1972/3), and the legacy of the concept that was depicted in the screen version directed by Franc Roddam (1978/9).1 Quadrophenia was recorded and released in a fraught period of industrial militancy in Britain that had not been witnessed since the general strike of 1926.2 The album can be ‘read’ as both a social history of an element of youth culture in the mid-1960s, but also a reflection on contemporary anxieties relating to youth, class, race, and national identity in the period 1972/3.3 Similarly, the cinematic version of Quadrophenia was conceived and directed in 1978/9 in the months prior to and after Margaret Thatcher was swept to power, ushering in a long period of Conservative politics that economically, socially, and culturally reshaped British society.4 Quadrophenia is a significant historical source for ‘reading’ these pivotal years and providing a sense of how musicians and writers were both reflecting and dramatizing a sense of ‘crisis’, ‘continuity’, and ‘change’ in working-class Britain.5 Along with the novels and films of the English ‘new wave’ and contemporary sociological examinations of working-class communities and youth culture, Quadrophenia represents a classic slice of ‘social realism’, social history, and political commentary.

    BAB II GAMBARAN UMUM OBYEK PENELITIAN Bab ini berisi mengenai bagaimana sejarah, proses, dan awal terbentuknya kultur anak muda di Inggris yang saat itu dikenal dengan sebutan skinhead. Gambaran umum yang dipaparkan meliputi sejarah terbentuknya kelompok skinhead di Inggris, brand-brand (Dr. Martens, Fred Perry, Ben Sherman, Levi’s) yang digunakan oleh skinhead dan meliputi bagaimana brand-brand tersebut kemudian identik dengan skinhead di Inggris, serta gambaran umum mengenai skinhead di Indonesia. A. Sejarah Skinhead Kelompok skinhead terlahir pada tahun 1960-an yang diawali dengan kelompok fashion anak muda yang dikenal dengan sebutan Mods. Kelompok yang berasal dari Inggris memiliki ciri khas pada bentuk fisiknya dengan potongan rambut yang pendek dan memakai pakaian konservatif. Identitas yang sangat melekat pada kelompok Mods adalah berkendara bersama dengan menggunakan skuter, yakni Vespa. Selain berkendara dengan Vespa, Mods memiliki kebiasaan dengan mengkonsumsi obat-obat euforia dan mendengarkan musik black soul. (www.reocities.com, diakses 12 Mei 2014). 48 GAMBAR 1 Mods Sumber : http://theblogofmowr.blogspot.com/2011/11/mods-and-rockers.html Seperti pada gambar di atas, berkendara bersama dengan skuter, menggunakan jaket parka, setelan jas, celana bahan, dan sepatu jenis loafer menjadi identitas dari kelompok Mods. Hingga di Indonesia pun mengikuti tradisi dari kultur Mods tersebut dengan adanya acara berkendara skuter bersama yang dikenal dengan acara Mods May Day, terlebih untuk memperingati hari buruh. Acara tersebut berlangsung di beberapa kota seperti Jakarta dan Yogyakarta, pada acara tersebut orang- orang di sana juga berpenampilan serupa dengan kelompok Mods di Inggris. Menurut HB, selaku narasumber mengatakan bahwa sampai pada akhirnya banyak masyarakat di Inggris mengikuti style Mods itu sendiri.
