  • Primal Scream Juntam-Se Ao Cartaz Do Nos Alive'19
    COMUNICADO DE IMPRENSA 02 / 04 / 2019 NOS apresenta dia 12 de julho PRIMAL SCREAM JUNTAM-SE AO CARTAZ DO NOS ALIVE'19 Os escoceses Primal Scream são a mais recente confirmação do NOS Alive’19. A banda liderada por Bobby Gillespie, figura incontornável da música alternativa, sobe ao Palco NOS dia 12 de julho juntando-se assim aos já anunciados Vampire Weekend, Gossip e Izal no segundo dia do festival. Com mais de 30 anos de carreira, Primal Scream trazem até ao Passeio Marítimo de Algés o novo álbum com data de lançamento previsto a 24 de maio, “Maximum Rock N Roll: The Singles”, trabalho que reúne os singles da banda desde 1986 até 2016 em dois volumes. A compilação começa com “Velocity Girl”, passando por temas dos dois primeiros álbuns como são exemplo "Ivy Ivy Ivy" e "Loaded". A banda que tinha apresentado em outubro de 2018 a mais recente compilação de singles originais do quarto álbum de 1994 com “Give Out But Don’t Give Up: The Original Memphis Recordings”, juntando-se ao lendário produtor Tom Dowd, a David Hood (baixo) e Roger Hawkins (bateria) no Ardent Studios em Memphis, está de volta às gravações e revelam algo nunca antes ouvido e uma banda que continua a surpreender. Primal Scream foi uma parte fundamental da cena indie pop dos anos 80, depois do galardoado disco "Screamadelica" vencedor do Mercury Prize em 1991, considerado um dos maiores de todos os tempos, a banda seguiu por influências de garage rock e dance music até ao último trabalho discográfico “Chaosmosis” lançado em 2016.

It is hard to tell whether the ramshackle stage is inside or outside but it appears to be set up against a wall made of corrugated metal. All else is black. The camera cuts to a close-up of the curtains, which are parted to reveal a pale young man with crow’s nest hair wearing a sequined tuxedo and a skewed bow tie. The man holds a lit cigarette and behind him, overseeing proceedings, is a large statue of the Virgin Mary. As the man with the crow’s nest hair walks fully through the arch he opens his mouth and sings the words ‘As the snow flies, on a cold and grey Chicago morn another little baby child is born…’. The song continues with the singer alternately shuffling as if embarrassed by the attention of the camera and then holding his arms aloft in declamation or fixing the viewer with a steely gaze.

  • Papers of Surrealism, Issue 8, Spring 2010 1
    © Lizzie Thynne, 2010 Indirect Action: Politics and the Subversion of Identity in Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore’s Resistance to the Occupation of Jersey Lizzie Thynne Abstract This article explores how Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore translated the strategies of their artistic practice and pre-war involvement with the Surrealists and revolutionary politics into an ingenious counter-propaganda campaign against the German Occupation. Unlike some of their contemporaries such as Tristan Tzara and Louis Aragon who embraced Communist orthodoxy, the women refused to relinquish the radical relativism of their approach to gender, meaning and identity in resisting totalitarianism. Their campaign built on Cahun’s theorization of the concept of ‘indirect action’ in her 1934 essay, Place your Bets (Les paris sont ouvert), which defended surrealism in opposition to both the instrumentalization of art and myths of transcendence. An examination of Cahun’s post-war letters and the extant leaflets the women distributed in Jersey reveal how they appropriated and inverted Nazi discourse to promote defeatism through carnivalesque montage, black humour and the ludic voice of their adopted persona, the ‘Soldier without a Name.’ It is far from my intention to reproach those who left France at the time of the Occupation. But one must point out that Surrealism was entirely absent from the preoccupations of those who remained because it was no help whatsoever on an emotional or practical level in their struggles against the Nazis.1 Former dadaist and surrealist and close collaborator of André Breton, Tristan Tzara thus dismisses the idea that surrealism had any value in opposing Nazi domination.

Geoffrey Brown 3 This thesis is dedicated to Agnès Calatayud, an inspirational teacher, who reconnected me to French cinema after a long carence, and who, crucially, first introduced me to the films of Claire Denis. 4 Abstract This thesis argues that the interest which the films of Claire Denis display in the ever-shifting modes of relations between people is illustrated through analysis of how music is used throughout her corpus of feature films. Denis draws on an extremely eclectic palette of musical styles, and the thesis proposes that these varying musical modalities are central to her treatment of relational issues, as are the ways in which she deploys her chosen musical selections.
