For starters, he carries the name and likeness of his ‘60s and ‘70s progressive country star dad, with whom he famously dueted on a sentimental father-son num- ber in 1973. That performance not only made him a very young Grammy nominee but supplied his less sentimental friends with something to rib him about during his college days at Belmont. Bare is still remembered for a band he lent his name to — the Bare Jr. half of it, anyway — after his college days. A grungy roots rock band that made waves playing Exit/In, Bare Jr. didn’t get much of anywhere commercially, even with two major-label albums. (Incidentally, that band fea- tured a pre-entrepreneurial Mike Grimes on guitar. As Bare says from the road, “If Grimey [hadn’t] end[ed] up not playing with Bare Jr., there may not have ever been a Grimey’s Record Store, a Slow Bar or a Basement.”) Memories of the band apparently persist well outside of Nashville, too. Bare expresses genuine amazement that a pristine copy of the band’s out-of-print 2000 album Brainwasher is currently listed for $60 on Amazon: “That’s funny. We didn’t sell 3,000 of those.” But he seems pretty at ease with that legacy. “It’s weird how many people request Bare Jr. songs every single night,” he says. “That was 12 years ago. I’ll play ‘You Blew Me Off,’ or I’ll do an acoustic version of ‘Nothin’ Better to Do.’ “ Bare’s been doing his own thing the past eight years, making indie albums stocked with twistedly witty and wrenchingly self-deprecating songs, none better than his latest variegated set, A Storm — A Tree — My Mother’s Head. “Liz Taylor’s Lipstick Gun,” a detailed yet off-the-wall story-song, is on there. “I just don’t think many people knew that Opie Taylor was Liz Taylor’s son,” Bare says, with the same deadpan delivery he employs throughout the song. “I think everybody should know about that.” Then there’s “But I Do,” a fractured and fresh consideration of getting tugged between love and weakness that he co-wrote with his dad, each contributor coming from decidedly different places as songwriters. “He’s always right,” says the younger Bare of the elder. Given Bare Jr.’s procliv- ity toward wry answers, it’s hard to tell in the moment if he really means that his dad only thinks he’s always right. “No, he actually is,” Bare says by way of clarification. “It’s good to have somebody like that in the room. Even as hard as I resist — and I’ll fight him on stuff — in the end he’s right. And he’s really courageous, too.” To top it all off, the album’s title track is a dark and skewed ballad about the stormy night his mother nearly met her end alone in the Henderson- ville home where he grew up. It’s the sort of troubling family tale few songwriters would want to tackle; Bare, on the other hand, even convinced his mom to come to the recording session and shriek theatrically on the track, a lot like she must’ve when the tree fell. Of his nothing’s-off-limits approach to songwriting, he says, “When you get to that place where most people would back down and chicken out, that’s right where it’s most important to keep going with it, whatever it is.” It’s harder to imagine his dad wanting to take part in the writing of a dramatic, indiefied vignette like “A Storm — A Tree — My Mother’s Head.” And he didn’t — Bare wrote that one on his own.

  • Hiker Accounts of Living Among Wildlife on the Appalachian Trail
    Wild Stories on the Internet: Hiker Accounts of Living Among Wildlife on the Appalachian Trail Submitted by Katherine Susan Marx to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Anthrozoology In July 2018 This thesis is available for library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgment. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has been previously submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature: ………………………………………………. Abstract The Appalachian Trail is the world’s longest hiking-only trail, covering roughly 2,200 miles of forest, mountains, ridges and plains. Each year a few thousand people set out to hike the entire length of the trail, estimated to take between five and seven months to complete. Numerous species of autonomous animals – wildlife – dwell on and around the trail, and it is the encounters that happen between these human and nonhuman animals that are the focus of this thesis. The research presented here is based wholly around narratives posted online as blogs by 166 Appalachian Trail hikers during the years 2015 and 2016. These narratives provide an insight into how hikers related to the self-directed animals that they temporarily shared a home with. Several recurring themes emerged to form the basis of the thesis chapters: many hikers viewed their trek as akin to a pilgrimage, which informed their perception of the animals that they encountered; American Black Bears (Ursus americanus), viewed as emblematic of the trail wilderness, made dwelling on the trail satisfyingly risky; hikers experienced strong feelings about some animals as being cute, and about others as being disgusting; along a densely wooded trail, experience of animals was often primarily auditory; the longer that they spent on the trail, the more hikers themselves experienced a sense of becoming wild.

  • From Shadow Citizens to Teflon Stars
    From shadow citizens to teflon stars cultural responses to the digital actor L i s a B o d e A thesis submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy September 2004 School of Theatre, Film and Dance University of New South Wales Abstract This thesis examines an intermittent uncanniness that emerges in cultural responses to new image technologies, most recently in some impressions of the digital actor. The history of image technologies is punctuated by moments of fleeting strangeness: from Maxim Gorky’s reading of the cinematographic image in terms of “cursed grey shadows,” to recent renderings of the computer-generated cast of Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within as silicon-skinned mannequins. It is not merely the image’s unfamiliar and new aesthetics that render it uncanny. Rather, the image is received within a cultural framework where its perceived strangeness speaks allegorically of what it means to be human at that historical moment. In various ways Walter Benjamin, Anson Rabinbach and N. Katherine Hayles have claimed that the notion and the experience of “being human” is continuously transformed through processes related to different stages of modernity including rational thought, industrialisation, urbanisation, media and technology. In elaborating this argument, each of the four chapters is organized around the elucidation of a particular motif: “dummy,” “siren,” “doppelgänger” and “resurrection.” These motifs circulate through discourses on different categories of digital actor, from those conceived without physical referents to those that are created as digital likenesses of living or dead celebrities. These cultural responses suggest that even while writers on the digital actor are speculating about the future, they are engaging with ideas about life, death and identity that are very old and very ambivalent.

  • English Folk Traditions and Changing Perceptions About Black People in England
    Trish Bater 080207052 ‘Blacking Up’: English Folk Traditions and Changing Perceptions about Black People in England Submitted for the degree of Master of Philosophy by Patricia Bater National Centre for English Cultural Tradition March 2013 This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution- NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Unported License. To view a copy of this license, visit http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/ or send a letter to Creative Commons, 444 Castro Street, Suite 900, Mountain View, California, 94041, USA. Trish Bater 080207052 2 Abstract This thesis investigates the custom of white people blacking their faces and its continuation at a time when society is increasingly aware of accusations of racism. To provide a context, an overview of the long history of black people in England is offered, and issues about black stereotypes, including how ‘blackness’ has been perceived and represented, are considered. The historical use of blackface in England in various situations, including entertainment, social disorder, and tradition, is described in some detail. It is found that nowadays the practice has largely been rejected, but continues in folk activities, notably in some dance styles and in the performance of traditional (folk) drama. Research conducted through participant observation, interview, case study, and examination of web-based resources, drawing on my long familiarity with the folk world, found that participants overwhelmingly believe that blackface is a part of the tradition they are following and is connected to its past use as a disguise. However, although all are aware of the sensitivity of the subject, some performers are fiercely defensive of blackface, while others now question its application and amend their ‘disguise’ in different ways.

    5 WELCOME GLEN & CLIVEDEN MAGAZINE CHEWTON Welcome 2016 is undoubtedly set to be a milestone for many reasons - however none are more important than the two big birthdays in the family! Cliveden, home over the years to an earl, three countesses, two dukes, a Prince TAKE THE of Wales and the Viscounts Astor, will celebrate its 350th anniversary. The more observant may realise that the present house was actually only built in 1851, after the first two houses burnt down: in 1795 and 1849. Today Cliveden provides the most decadent ‘home from home’ for guests from all around the globe who appreciate the fact that they are always made PATH LESS to feel more ‘house guest’ than ‘hotel client’. The recent multi-million pound refurbishment has only added to the rich layers of history that make this iconic property completely unique in the hotel world. I would also argue that today’s house guests at Cliveden are luckier than ever when it comes to culinary delights. Although the gastronomic heart of the house is still ‘below stairs’, there is nothing old-fashioned about the state-of-the-art kitchen that André Garrett TRAVELLED now has to help him make the very most of his talents. André’s cooking style could not be more appropriate for such a salubrious venue, and like the new interior design he is not trying to be fashionable. The ‘Stop Press’ news is that Cliveden has been awarded the coveted title of AA Hotel of the Year. This is testament to the vision and deep pockets of its new owners and, of course, the team at Cliveden who have put so much energy and passion back into the house.
