13Th FLOOR ELEVATORS
13th FLOOR ELEVATORS With such a seminal album, it’s not surprising that the cover for The Psychedelic Sounds Of The 13th Floor Elevators (1966 : International Artists Artwork : John Cleveland) has been borrowed such a lot, often by psych upstarts (also leaning on the music) and CD compliers wanting some of the early sixties garage ambience to rub off on them. The result is a great display of primary colours.

The Doors were poised to release two magnificent albums that year, their self-titled debut, The Doors, and, to many ears, their finest album, Strange Days. ‘Iconic’ is an overused word in the context of celebrity portraiture, but is bang on the money when used to describe Joel’s famous portrait, The American Poet, showing a bare-chested Morrison with arms spread out, staring into the camera. Joel Brodsky’s photographs appeared on the covers of The Doors first two albums, and subsequently on The Soft Parade and many Greatest Hits compilations. 2007 is the Doors' 40th anniversary year, and the surviving members of the band are planning a feast of Doors related activities to celebrate, including a 4 hour international radio special, a feature length documentary for cinema release, previously unissued live recordings, twin volumes of Jim Morrison's poetry, a coffee table photo/scrapbook, and significantly, a major exhibit of memorabilia at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio.

Chapter 6 the Pilgrimage to Jim Morrison 'S Grave at Père Lachaise
143 Chapter 6 The Pilgrimage to Jim Morrison ’s Grave at Père Lachaise Cemetery: The Social Construction of Sacred Space Peter Jan Margry The paradox could hardly have been greater: Jim Morrison (1943-1971), the American rock star and poet who refused to be constrained or pushed around by anyone, has been thrust into a straightjacket more than thirty years after his death. The espace Morrison, the area around his grave at the Parisian cem- etery of Père Lachaise , had gradually evolved into a kind of sanctuary where his fans brought him to life again, as it were, and where his musicality, his lifestyle, and his poetic and philosophical legacy were evoked and propagated. But on April 15, 2004, the authorities unconditionally put a stop to these in- formal, communal gatherings that annexed the grave and its immediate envi- rons. The erection of a closed iron ring of anchored barriers marked the culmi- nation of almost thirty years of confrontation between Morrison fans and the established order. By their actions, the authorities have somehow managed to invert the meanings and functions of his grave, confronting some visitors with a curious paradox. Dorothea, a single woman from Hamburg who was born in 1966, was painfully struck by this during her visit on July 3, 2004.1 ‘It hurt me most for Jim Morrison himself,’ she said. ‘For him, barriers were the worst thing there was. The things that Jim had always wanted to guard against have become reality thirty years after his death. They’ve ﬁ nally managed to lock him up.’2 In this contribution I will analyze the way in which Jim Morrison fans transform his grave into a sacred place and how the cult surrounding this idol has acquired performative shape in the public space.

Lesley Ferguson BISIA 450 Midterm Project Proposal – Using Photography Unphotographically
Lesley Ferguson BISIA 450 Midterm Project Proposal – Using Photography Unphotographically I cannot say quite when or how the idea of the “Kodak moment” came about. It was probably a tagline from an advertisement in the Fifties. Regardless of its creation, the concept of this “Kodak moment” has been adapted into our colloquial language, and become synonymous with a perfectly- photographed brief moment in time. In one of these single, flawless images one can see action, time, even emotion. But what of the moments on either side of the one trapped in the photograph? These photos are the ones surrounding that perfect one on the contact sheet, or deleted from the digital slideshow. Why aren’t they considered “Kodak moments”? Sometimes they can provide more insight into the scene that is depicted, and perhaps even more truth. One example that comes to mind is the “Young Lion” series of photographs that Joel Brodsky took of Jim Morrison from the band The Doors. The little known story behind the iconic Christ-pose is that Morrison was completely drunk during the photo shoot, and the drummer of the band, John Densmore, hypothesized that he had to hold his arms out to keep his balance, and the next photo on the contact sheet would show Morrison toppling out of frame. That photo was never printed or seen by anyone but the photographer, but that actually was a more accurate depiction of Morrison than the photos that are still famous today. The goal of my midterm project is to explore the neglected parallel world of the non-Kodak moments.

Om Att Leva I Dödens Närvaro
Om att leva i dödens närvaro Psykolog och doktor Gerald Faris söker tillsammans med sin bror, sociologiprofessor Ralph Faris, att åskådliggöra hur både Janis Joplin och Jim Morrison led av borderlinestörning och hur den till slut kom att tysta deras röster. TEKST Thomas Silfving PUBLISERT 5. august 2012 BRUTALT AVSLÖJANDE: Janis Joplin och Jim Morrison led av borderlinestörning, och efter ett självförbrännande leverne kom den till slut att tysta deras röster. Foto: Joel Brodsky (Jim Morrison) og Keystone Pictures/ZUMA Press (Janis Joplin) Gerald A. och Ralph M. Faris | Living in the Dead Zone: Janis Joplin and Jim Morrison: Understanding Borderline Personality Disorder, Traﬀord, 1997. 272 sidor När jag för en tid sedan hade en nära relationsupplevelse med min gamla bokhylla, blev jag uppmärksam på en bok jag helt glömt bort att jag ägde. Boktiteln Living in the Dead Zone: Janis Joplin and Jim Morrison – Understanding Borderline Personality Disorder av bröderna Gerald A. och Ralph M. Faris, lät nu som då både aktuell och intressant. Det kanske inte är så konstigt med tanke på att den handlar om gränsproblematik och svårigheten att reglera känslor med därtill hörande skamliga borderlinebeteenden som alkohol- och drogmissbruk, osedliga levnadsvanor och relationskaos. Boken är ett signerat exemplar som jag måste ha inhandlat under en av mina många amerikaresor. Att ibland undersöka vad man har i sin gamla bokhylla kan varmt rekommenderas. En intressant upplevelse som också manar till självreﬂektion. Vad är det för litteratur man åtnjutit under åren? «När gränserna sedan sprängts och längre inte existerar, gör Jim oss uppmärksamma på att han minsann är «The lizard king.

Exploring the Funkadelic Aesthetic: Intertextuality and Cosmic Philosophizing in Funkadelic’S Album Covers and Liner Notes
Exploring the Funkadelic Aesthetic 141 Exploring the Funkadelic Aesthetic: Intertextuality and Cosmic Philosophizing in Funkadelic’s Album Covers and Liner Notes Amy Nathan Wright Much has been written about the power of Parliament-Funkadelic’s mu- sic and stage shows,1 two undeniably essential elements of the overall P-Funk package, but far less has been said about the significance of the album covers and liner notes in transmitting the group’s philosophy of the funk,2 an elaborate mythology that helped the band gain worldwide recognition and an almost cult- like following of Funkateers.3 The liner notes and cover art of the Funkadelic albums of the 1970s and early 1980s provide a window into the society and culture of that transformative era and a better understanding of how P-Funk as a collective produced a counterhegemonic aesthetic and philosophy that offered not only biting critiques of politics, society, and the record industry but also space to explore other controversial and complex elements of life, such as sex, religion, emotions, and the meaning of life.4 In particular, I elucidate the influ- ence of one of the most significant P-Funk artists and writers—Pedro Bell—and consider the relationships among writing, visual art, music, and performance as well as the significance of intertextuality5—the way in which P-Funk’s various texts relate or speak to one another to provide greater coherence and mean- ing. The characters who collectively exist as the “Parliafunkadelicment Thang” speak to one another through their music, stage shows, cover artwork, and liner notes, forming interconnected cultural productions in various mediums to pro- duce a coherent worldview.
