With high gas prices, it’s even tougher to take a vacation without breaking the bank. Luckily, the First Coast has plenty of destination loca- tions that are just a short drive away. Amelia Island is just one of the local vacation spots that you can visit, whether for a day trip, a weekend getaway or an entire week. Use the money you saved on airfare to shop, charter a fi shing boat, get a facial, dine at a fi ne restaurant or stay at the classy Ritz- Carlton. Its Southern charm mingles with exotic fare.

  • O Porquê Da Existência De Festivais Punk Na Europa
    Paulo Bettencourt Lemos A INDUSTRIALIZAÇÃO DO MOVIMENTO PUNK Relatório de estágio em Comunicação e Jornalismo, orientado pelo Doutor Carlos Camponez, apresentado ao Departamento de Informação, Comunicação e Filosofia da Faculdade de Letras da Universidade de Coimbra Julho de 2014 1 Faculdade de Letras A INDUSTRIALIZAÇÃO DO MOVIMENTO PUNK Ficha Técnica: Tipo de trabalho Relatório de estágio Título A INDUSTRIALIZAÇÃO DO MOVIMENTO PUNK Autor Paulo Bettencourt Lemos Orientador Doutor Carlos Camponez Júri Presidente: Vogais: 1. 2. Identificação do Curso 2º Ciclo em Comunicação e Jornalismo Data da defesa Classificação 2 Resumo Embora o Punk tenha surgido em finais da década de 70 como uma contra-cultura revolucionária que se opôs aos valores sociais vigentes da sociedade inglesa, rapidamente a indústria absorveu este movimento social. A atual aceitação social da prévia rebeldia Punk deu-se através da sua comercialização, onde foi possível ao mainstream suavizar os seus aspetos mais agressivos popularizando assim agrupamentos musicais do género. A vulgarização do Punk ocorreu deste modo através da incorporação comercial da sua música e estética. Neste relatório de estágio reflete-se sobre o papel e a influência da indústria no Punk. Através de uma análise ao festival Mighty Sounds, compreenderemos como a comercialização desta tribo urbana tornou este fenómeno facilmente reconhecido a nível mundial e qual o impacto da indústria nos movimentos do underground, desconhecidos pelo grande público, e que se encontram fora dos mediatismos comerciais e noticiosos. Palavras-chave: Mighty Sounds, Punk, Música, Festivais de Verão, República Checa, Praga 3 Abstract Although Punk has emerged in the late 70s as a revolutionary counter-culture that opposed the prevailing social values of English society, the industry quickly absorbed this social movement.

  • International Film Festival April 24 – May 4, 2008 the Washington, Dc International Film Festival
    THE 22ND ANNUAL WASHINGTON, DC INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL APRIL 24 – MAY 4, 2008 THE WASHINGTON, DC INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL A world of films…a window into our world. Whether experienced in movie theaters, on DVDs or television in our homes, on our iPods or computers, films are the major communications media of our time. Hollywood films dominate commercial cinema. However, scores of talented filmmakers around the globe produce thou- sands of quality films that speak with a different voice, provide a different point of view, and tell different stories. Presenting these films in the nation’s capital is the purpose of Filmfest DC. Photo: Chad Evans Wyatt Film festivals are a journey of Tony Gittens, Festival Director and Shirin Ghareeb, Assistant Director discovery, a visual and thought provoking adventure into how people see and interpret our world. Every Filmfest DC is different and every film is unique from every other film in the festival. Together, they comprise an amazing representation of human imagination, commitment and talent. The festival has two special focuses this year — Politics & Film and New Latin Ameri- can Cinema. Obviously, politics are especially prominent during this election season and we wanted to explore the role affairs of state play in people’s every day lives. Latin American filmmakers are always a treasure trove of inventive storytelling. The di- verse selection of new work we have gathered from the Spanish-speaking world (in- cluding Spain) are moving, humorous, and insightful. None of this would be possible without the many dedicated people who have shared their time and talents with Filmfest DC.

  • Roots Radical – Place, Power and Practice in Punk Entrepreneurship Sarah Louise Drakopoulou Dodd
    Roots radical – Place, power and practice in punk entrepreneurship Sarah Louise Drakopoulou Dodd The significance continues to grow of scholarship that embraces critical and contextualized entrepreneurship, seeking rich explorations of diverse entrepreneurship contexts. Following these influences, this study explores the potentialized context of punk entrepreneurship. The Punk Rock band Rancid has a 20-year history of successfully creating independent musical and related creative enterprises from the margins of the music industry. The study draws on artefacts, interviews and videos created by and around Rancid to identify and analyse this example of marginal, alternative entrepreneurship. A three-part analytic frame was applied to analysing these artefacts. Place is critical to Rancid’s enterprise, grounding the band socially, culturally, geographically and politically. Practice also plays an important role with Rancid’s activities encompassing labour, making music, movement and human interactions. The third, and most prevalent, dimension of alterity is that of power which includes data related to dominance, subordination, exclusion, control and liberation. Rancid’s entrepreneurial story is depicted as cycles, not just a linear journey, but following more complicated paths – from periphery to centre, and back again; returning to roots, whilst trying to move forwards too; grounded in tradition but also radically focused on dramatic change. Paradox, hybridized practices, and the significance of marginal place as a rich resource also emerged from the study. Keywords: entrepreneurship; social construction; punk rock; paradox; marginality; periphery Special thanks are due to all the punks and skins who have engaged with my reading of the Rancid story, and given me so much support and feedback along the way, especially Rancid’s drummer, Branden Steineckert, Jesse from Machete Manufacturing, Kostis, Tassos (Rancid Punx Athens Crew) and Panayiotis.

    EG KIGHT Singer Songwriter Guitar Player Entertainer The recipient of the 2013 Georgia Music Legend Award, which honors people from Georgia who have contributed to the state's musical heritage, EG Kight is honored to represent her home state, bringing her diverse musical menu to the fans at clubs, theaters, festivals and corporate events across America and in Europe. Kight has been nominated for the 2015 Blues Music Awards Koko Taylor Award, she landed on the AXS.com list of Top 5 Best Blues Artists of 2014, and her latest album landed on the Blues Bytes 2014 Top 10 Albums list, and the Roots Music Report's Top 100 Blues Album Chart for 2014. She was also nominated for two Blues Blast awards, and has had six previous Blues Music Awards nominations, twice for Song of the Year.

  • “Why So Serious?” Comics, Film and Politics, Or the Comic Book Film As the Answer to the Question of Identity and Narrative in a Post-9/11 World
    ABSTRACT “WHY SO SERIOUS?” COMICS, FILM AND POLITICS, OR THE COMIC BOOK FILM AS THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION OF IDENTITY AND NARRATIVE IN A POST-9/11 WORLD by Kyle Andrew Moody This thesis analyzes a trend in a subgenre of motion pictures that are designed to not only entertain, but also provide a message for the modern world after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The analysis provides a critical look at three different films as artifacts of post-9/11 culture, showing how the integration of certain elements made them allegorical works regarding the status of the United States in the aftermath of the attacks. Jean Baudrillard‟s postmodern theory of simulation and simulacra was utilized to provide a context for the films that tap into themes reflecting post-9/11 reality. The results were analyzed by critically examining the source material, with a cultural criticism emerging regarding the progression of this subgenre of motion pictures as meaningful work. “WHY SO SERIOUS?” COMICS, FILM AND POLITICS, OR THE COMIC BOOK FILM AS THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION OF IDENTITY AND NARRATIVE IN A POST-9/11 WORLD A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Miami University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Communications Mass Communications Area by Kyle Andrew Moody Miami University Oxford, Ohio 2009 Advisor ___________________ Dr. Bruce Drushel Reader ___________________ Dr. Ronald Scott Reader ___________________ Dr. David Sholle TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ..........................................................................................................................
