  • Subjectivity in American Popular Metal: Contemporary Gothic, the Body, the Grotesque, and the Child
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Glasgow Theses Service Subjectivity In American Popular Metal: Contemporary Gothic, The Body, The Grotesque, and The Child. Sara Ann Thomas MA (Hons) Submitted in fulfilment for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Arts University of Glasgow January 2009 © Sara Thomas 2009 Abstract This thesis examines the subject in Popular American Metal music and culture during the period 1994-2004, concentrating on key artists of the period: Korn, Slipknot, Marilyn Manson, Nine Inch Nails, Tura Satana and My Ruin. Starting from the premise that the subject is consistently portrayed as being at a time of crisis, the thesis draws on textual analysis as an under appreciated approach to popular music, supplemented by theories of stardom in order to examine subjectivity. The study is situated in the context of the growing area of the contemporary gothic, and produces a model of subjectivity specific to this period: the contemporary gothic subject. This model is then used throughout to explore recurrent themes and richly symbolic elements of the music and culture: the body, pain and violence, the grotesque and the monstrous, and the figure of the child, representing a usage of the contemporary gothic that has not previously been attempted. Attention is also paid throughout to the specific late capitalist American cultural context in which the work of these artists is situated, and gives attention to the contradictions inherent in a musical form which is couched in commodity culture but which is highly invested in notions of the ‘Alternative’. In the first chapter I propose the model of the contemporary gothic subject for application to the work of Popular Metal artists of the period, drawing on established theories of the contemporary gothic and Michel Foucault’s theory of confession.

  • An Uncomfortable Book About Relationships
    SNEAK PREVIEW. NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION. The TRUTH AN UNCOMFORTABLE BOOK ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS Neil Strauss New York Times Bestselling Author of THE GAME The TRUTH AN UNCOMFORTABLE BOOK ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS Neil Strauss The following pages contain one of the most ter- rifying and obscene words in the English language: commitment. Specifically the type of commitment that often precedes or follows love and sex. A lack of commitment, too much commitment, a poorly chosen commitment, and misunderstandings about commitment have led to murders, suicides, wars, and a whole lot of grief. They have also led to this book, which is an attempt to figure out where so many people go wrong, again and again, when it comes to relationships and marriage— and if there’s a better way to live, love, and make love. This, however, is not a journey that was undertaken for journalistic purposes. It is a painfully honest account of a life crisis that was forced on me as a consequence of my own behavior. Like most per- sonal journeys, it starts in a place of darkness, confusion, and foolishness. As such, it requires sharing a lot of things I’m not proud of— and a few things I feel like I should regret a whole lot more than I actually do. Because, unfortunately, I am not the hero in this tale. I am the villain. If you are reading this, please stop now. Do NOT turn the page. Ingrid, If this is you, really, don’t read this. Don’t you have email to check or something? Or have you seen the video with that cat who’s doing a human-like thing? It’s hilarious - - maybe you should watch it.

  • Successful Masculinity in Search of the Alpha Within
    UNIVERSITY OF TAMPERE School of Communication, Media and Theatre Successful Masculinity In Search of the Alpha Within Dermot Lyons Pro Gradu – Master’s Thesis June 2015 UNIVERSITY OF TAMPERE School of Communication, Media and Theatre LYONS, DERMOT: Successful Masculinity: In Search of the Alpha Within Pro Gradu – Master’s Thesis, 133 pages. Journalism and Communication / Media Culture June 2015 Abstract Pickup artists and the seduction community have gone from being an underground network of workshop and internet based teachers and students, to, following the publication of Neil Strauss’ book ‘The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists’, a movement entering the wider public consciousness, a subculture of (primarily) men who wish to get better at meeting, sleeping with, and dating women. They try to make the transformation from men who are not successful socially or with women, termed ‘AFC’s or ‘Average Frustrated Chumps’ in the seduction community, to PUAs, or PickUp Artists. There are now seduction companies, TV shows, radio shows, podcasts, blogs, books, forums, websites, chat rooms, and community groups for major cities all across the world. This material is not always practiced or preached in a mainstream-safe way, but rather is done by breaking through groupthink, going against perceived norms, not being politically correct, and using the findings of evolutionary psychology and life coaching. The thinking behind this is: Everything can be taught, so why not how to get girls? Game is (supposed to be) a fun, pleasurable way to improve your overall self: diet, exercise, hygiene, education, career, living circumstance, behavior, sociability – all are looked at towards bettering an overall enhanced version of yourself, almost quantifiable, to be the most optimal self you can be, where you are having a good life, and women are a part of that life, who may join you on your own individual journey as a man.

  • Created in God's Image
    CREATED IN GOD’S IMAGE FROM HEGEMONY TO PARTNERSHIP CREATED IN GOD’S IMAGE FROM HEGEMONY TO PARTNERSHIP CREATED IN GOD’S IMAGE IN GOD’S IMAGE CREATED FROM HEGEMONY TO PARTNERSHIP PARTNERSHIP TO HEGEMONY FROM Created in God’s Image: From Hegemony to Partnership is a church manual on men as partners for promoting positive masculinities. It is a dynamic resource on men, gender and masculinity from the stand point of the Christian faith. The concepts of masculinity and gender are explored with the aim of enabling men to become more conscious of gender as a social construct that affects their own lives as well as that of women. Masculinity is explored from lived experiences as well as from the perspective of social practices, behaviour and power constructions through which men become conscious of themselves as gendered subjects. Various approaches are used to examine and question hegemonic masculinity and for creating enabling environments in which men and women work towards re-defining, re-ordering, re-orienting and thus transforming dominant forms of masculinity. The intention is to affirm positive masculinities and not to demonize men or to instill feelings of guilt and powerlessness in them. Men are enabled to peel away layers of gender constructions which have played a key role in defining manhood in specific cultural, religious, economic, political and social contexts. The manual includes theological and biblical resources, stories, sermon notes and eight modules on men, masculinity and gender. The modules include activities for discussion on how men’s experiences, beliefs and values form the foundational bases of masculinity.

At first sight, the red thread running through the albums he released during the 1990s is a harsh attack on American ideologies. On his debut album Portrait of an American Family (1994), for example, Manson criticizes ideological constructs such as the nuclear family, arguing that the concept is often used to justify violent pro-life activism.ii Proclaiming that “I got my lunchbox and I’m armed real well” and that “next motherfucker’s gonna get my metal,” he presents himself as a personification of teenage angst determined to destroy his bullies, be they unfriendly classmates or the American government.

  • SEXUAL MARKET VALUE: Economic Metaphor in “Pickup Artist” Handbooks
    SEXUAL MARKET VALUE: Economic metaphor in “pickup artist” handbooks Sarah Martin A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree MA Economy & Society Graduate School for Social Research 2018 ABSTRACT Sexual sociality is conceptualised colloquially and academically as a market. However, attempts to apply market analysis tools from economics to modelling sexual stratification result in tautology, where opposite findings can equally be explained away as utility-maximising functions. The predominance of market metaphor may result from sexual selection feeling like a market, rather than it functioning as a market. In this qualitative content analysis of four Anglophone "pickup artist" handbooks, economic metaphor is shown to be used to describe the process for men of attracting women with the aim of initiating sexual interaction. This use of economic metaphor indicates that the heterosexual men that write and read these books partially understand sexual interactions in terms of economic experiences and that this might influence their actions in sexual social space. The emergent metaphorical structure of the sexual market place was coherent across the corpus and provides a perspective on how heterosexual men conceptualise sexual sociality and plan future action on the basis of their understanding of market functions. This corpus metaphorically constructs sexual sociality as a market. Individuals participating in the market are commodity-producing-commodities and individual actors at the same time. In this market structure, men produce and sell attention (time, money, and emotion) and are paid with sex (physical, sexual interaction) produced by women. Women buy attention from men and pay with sex. Salesperson is a high-power role and buyer is a low-power role in this metaphorical market.

In this article, we offer a conjunctural analysis of this shift and argue that this decade represents a decline in, or even a failure of, neoliberalism’s ability to secure subjects within its political rationality.

This is Tim Ferriss, and welcome to another episode of the The Tim Ferriss Show. And, holy guacamole, do I have a treat for you. I had so much fun with this interview. The guest is none other than Neil Strauss, a close friend of mine, seven-time, I think, New York Times Best Selling Author. He has written many books, including The Game, for which he's best-known, perhaps. Emergency, for which I was a proofreader – and, there's a hilarious story behind that that we get into. And, many, many others. He has written what many consider 'The Definitive Rock Memoir' – or 'Biography' – which was The Dirt about Motley Crew. He has written with people, including Marilyn Manson, Jenna Jameson – on, and on, and on – Rules of The Game. The guy is prolific. He is also – and has been – Contributing Editor at Rolling Stone, Staff Writer for The New York Times. Why am I listing off all of these credentials? Because the conversation that I have with Neil is about the creative process. How do you become a creative powerhouse? What are the methods that he uses? What are the tricks that he has up his sleeves when times get tough; when he's on deadline; when he wants to create the next best-selling book; when he wants to write a book that can become a movie; when he wants to create a business – and he's built some very, very profitable businesses – which is something not many people know.
