The hardcore music scene represents a radical departure from contemporary society. Rejecting the materialism, militarism, and hedonism of the mainstream music scene—and, by extension, modern culture—hardcore music presents an alternative lifestyle rooted in solidarity, equality, and liberty. Indeed, the culture of the hardcore scene approaches a transitive, nomadic model of an anarchistic commune built on resistance as a way of life.

Satàn est d’abord l’association à la fin des années 2000 d’Arthur et Paula : le premier construit des cathédrales de bruit tout en ruptures vertigineuses, la seconde écrit des poèmes liturgiques qui résonneront dans la nef les jours de messe noire : après deux albums peu relayés chez Slovenly Records (Sick Of Love en 2010, et Hell Death Samba en 2011), les amis du label Teenage Menopause prennent les choses en main et éditent Faraway Land (2012), sur la pochette duquel nos deux compositeurs sont dessinés dans la position de la Vierge à l’Enfant. Toutefois, le nom de J.C. Satàn ne se réduit pas à ces deux seules figures, et c’est bien un quintet, comme autant d’appendices d’un poing rageur projeté à toute vitesse dans la face des tièdes, qui assomme les foules et les tient dans sa paume : et aux côtés des deux ingénieurs en chef qui peaufinent en laboratoire (Arthur et Paula), trois musiciens s’assurent qu’il déploie toute sa puissance sur le terrain ; Dorian, silhouette longiligne, martyrise son clavier ; Ali, fée déchue et reine des allers-retours sur les manches de basse, propage des vibrations venues des limbes ; et Romain, visage carré au regard fou, poursuit inlassablement sa mission, cogner, cogner, cogner.

    DON’T LET THE WORLD ROT: ANARCHISM, HARDCORE, AND COUNTERCULTURE by PEARSON L. BOLT B.A. University of Central Florida, 2013 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of English in the College of Arts and Humanities at the University of Central Florida Orlando, Florida Summer Term 2016 Major Professor: Anthony Grajeda © Pearson Bolt 2016 ii ABSTRACT Hardcore music is intrinsically anarchistic. The hardcore music scene represents a radical departure from contemporary society. Rejecting the materialism, militarism, and hedonism of the mainstream music scene—and, by extension, modern culture—hardcore music presents an alternative lifestyle rooted in solidarity, equality, and liberty. Indeed, the culture of the hardcore scene approaches a transitive, nomadic model of an anarchistic commune built on resistance as a way of life. In this study, I identified the ways music and lyrics craft attitudes and environments for revolt and rebellion, cultivating critical thinking and disobedience in equal measures. In order to understand the hardcore community, I conducted interviews, studied political theory, analyzed the lyrics of hardcore bands, and synthesized the data to draw connections between major thematic elements of this community. I’ve found that hardcore music has created a countercultural ethos that subverts and defies political apathy and instigates direct action in order to revolutionize the political process and erect spaces of anarchic solidarity. Keywords: anarchy, hardcore, music, politics, counterculture iii For Barrett Brown, Jeremy Hammond, Edward Snowden, Chelsea Manning, Julian Assange, and the countless other journalists, dissidents, academics, and anarchists arrested, exiled, and executed by the State for crimes of conscience—may we follow your example and engage in protest, rebellion, direct action, and insurrection with songs of resistance on our lips.

    A Flash Flood Hazard Assessment in Dry Valleys

    Nat Hazards (2015) 75:2905–2929 DOI 10.1007/s11069-014-1470-3 ORIGINAL PAPER A flash flood hazard assessment in dry valleys (northern France) by cellular automata modelling Johnny Douvinet • Marco J. Van De Wiel • Daniel Delahaye • Etienne Cossart Received: 17 October 2013 / Accepted: 6 October 2014 / Published online: 31 October 2014 Ó The Author(s) 2014. This article is published with open access at Springerlink.com Abstract This paper presents an application of a cellular automaton-based run-off model (RUICELLS) to a series of small dry valleys in the Seine-Maritime department, northern France, to better assess their susceptibility to flash flood. These muddy floods shortly follow high rainfall (50–100 mm in less than 6 h) and occur in very small areas (\20 km2). A surge generally rushes down through the main valley just a few minutes after rains have peaked. Previous events (n = 69, in the period 1983–2005) have occasionally threatened human lives and have caused significant damage to property and infrastructure. None- theless, given the variation among the valleys and the infrequency of events, these floods have not been numerous enough to permit a statistical analysis. Instead, we numerically simulate the possible future flash floods using RUICELLS, a cellular automaton model driven by a set of three deterministic hydrological rules. Simulations have been conducted for 148 basins, each subject to 16 different rainfall scenarios (2.368 simulations in total) to (1) estimate the peak flow discharges (Q), the specific peak flows (Qs), and the lag times (T) of the flash floods and (2) detect the critical rainfall intensities that would trigger J.
