  • Nietzsche and Psychedelics – Peter Sjöstedt-H –
    Antichrist Psychonaut: Nietzsche and Psychedelics – Peter Sjöstedt-H – ‘… And close your eyes with holy dread, For he on honey-dew hath fed, And drunk the milk of Paradise.’ So ends the famous fragment of Kubla Khan by the Romantic poet, Samuel Taylor Coleridge. He tells us that the poem was an immediate transcription of an opium-induced dream he experienced in 1797. As is known, the Romantic poets and their kin were inspired by the use of psychoactive substances such as opium, the old world’s common pain reliever. Pain elimination is its negative advantage, but its positive attribute lies in the psychedelic (‘mind- revealing’)1 state it can engender – a state described no better than by the original English opium eater himself, Thomas De Quincey: O just and righteous opium! … thou bildest upon the bosom of darkness, out of the fantastic imagery of the brain, cities and temples, beyond the art of Phidias and Praxiteles – beyond the splendours of Babylon and Hekatómpylos; and, “from the anarchy of dreaming sleep,” callest into sunny light the faces of long-buried beauties … thou hast the keys of Paradise, O just, subtle, and mighty opium!2 Two decades following the publication of these words the First Opium War commences (1839) in which China is martially punished for trying to hinder the British trade of opium to the Chinese people. Though opium, derived from the innocent garden poppy Papavar somniferum, may cradle the keys to Paradise it also clutches the keys to Perdition: its addictive thus potentially ruinous nature is commonly known. Today, partly for these reasons, opiates are mostly illegal without license – stringently so in their most potent forms of morphine and heroin.

  • EDM (Dance Music): Disco, Techno, House, Raves… ANTHRO 106 2018
    EDM (Dance Music): Disco, Techno, House, Raves… ANTHRO 106 2018 Rebellion, genre, drugs, freedom, unity, sex, technology, place, community …………………. Disco • Disco marked the dawn of dance-based popular music. • Growing out of the increasingly groove-oriented sound of early '70s and funk, disco emphasized the beat above anything else, even the singer and the song. • Disco was named after discotheques, clubs that played nothing but music for dancing. • Most of the discotheques were gay clubs in New York • The seventies witnessed the flowering of gay clubbing, especially in New York. For the gay community in this decade, clubbing became 'a religion, a release, a way of life'. The camp, glam impulses behind the upsurge in gay clubbing influenced the image of disco in the mid-Seventies so much that it was often perceived as the preserve of three constituencies - blacks, gays and working-class women - all of whom were even less well represented in the upper echelons of rock criticism than they were in society at large. • Before the word disco existed, the phrase discotheque records was used to denote music played in New York private rent or after hours parties like the Loft and Better Days. The records played there were a mixture of funk, soul and European imports. These "proto disco" records are the same kind of records that were played by Kool Herc on the early hip hop scene. - STARS and CLUBS • Larry Levan was the first DJ-star and stands at the crossroads of disco, house and garage. He was the legendary DJ who for more than 10 years held court at the New York night club Paradise Garage.

    Observatorio (OBS*) Journal, vol.7 - nº2 (2013), 161-181 1646-5954/ERC123483/2013 161 Do insucesso do DAB à expansão online: a estratégia digital da rádio pública portuguesa From DAB failure to internet expansion: the Portuguese public service radio's digital strategy Sílvio Correia Santos* *Universidade de Coimbra, Portugal Resumo Na década de 90, poucas dúvidas pareciam existir acerca do futuro da rádio na Europa. O Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) era apresentado como o standard que iria definir o futuro digital da rádio. Porém, em Portugal, tal como noutros países europeus, o DAB foi incapaz de cumprir as expectativas que se geraram à sua volta e acabou por ser preterido. A estratégia digital de muitas estações virou- se para a internet. Este artigo analisa o caso particular da rádio de Serviço Público (SP) em Portugal, para explicar o insucesso do DAB e a aposta na expansão online. Neste contexto, são explorados os principais argumentos em torno do mais provável cenário futuro da rádio: a convivência de plataformas, incluindo a transmissão analógica. No âmbito específico do SP, são ainda abordados os desafios particulares da transição para a era digital, particularmente, a legitimidade do desenvolvimento online e a inexistência de formas de avaliação do impacto dessa expansão no mercado. No domínio da produção, este artigo destaca uma mudança de paradigma que consiste na valorização atual do conteúdo radiofónico separado do fluxo tradicional da rádio. Palavras-chave: rádio, DAB, internet, serviço público, Portugal Abstract There were no doubts about the success of Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) in the 90's. DAB seemed to be the obvious choice to replace the analogue broadcast in Europe.

  • (Title of the Thesis)*
    Dionysian Semiotics: Myco-Dendrolatry and Other Shamanic Motifs in the Myths and Rituals of the Phrygian Mother by Daniel Attrell A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Arts in Ancient Mediterranean Cultures Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2013 © Daniel Attrell 2013 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract The administration of initiation rites by an ecstatic specialist, now known to western scholarship by the general designation of ‗shaman‘, has proven to be one of humanity‘s oldest, most widespread, and continuous magico-religious traditions. At the heart of their initiatory rituals lay an ordeal – a metaphysical journey - almost ubiquitously brought on by the effects of a life-changing hallucinogenic drug experience. To guide their initiates, these shaman worked with a repertoire of locally acquired instruments, costumes, dances, and ecstasy-inducing substances. Among past Mediterranean cultures, Semitic and Indo-European, these sorts of initiation rites were vital to society‘s spiritual well-being. It was, however, the mystery schools of antiquity – organizations founded upon conserving the secrets of plant-lore, astrology, theurgy and mystical philosophy – which satisfied the role of the shaman in Greco-Roman society. The rites they delivered to the common individual were a form of ritualized ecstasy and they provided an orderly context for religiously-oriented intoxication.

  • Daniel Bovet
    D ANIEL B OVET The relationships between isosterism and competitive phenomena in the field of drug therapy of the autonomic nervous system and that of the neuromuscular transmission Nobel Lecture, December 11, 1957 Putting to good use the vast possibilities which organic synthesis offers, a number of workers have directed their efforts towards applying it to thera- peutics, and have sought to establish the bases of a science of pharmaceutical chemistry, or, more exactly perhaps, the bases of a science of chemical pharmacology worthy of this name. If such an ambitious programme has not yet been fully realized, we are at least justified in recognizing, in the work which has now been in progress for fifty years, the appearance of a few guiding principles whose value has not ceased to assert itself. This is particularly true, for example, in the case of ideas in isosterism and com- petition. The origin of many drugs must be looked for in substances of a biological nature, and in particular in the alkaloids. The elucidation of their structure has been a starting-off point for chemists to synthesize similar compounds. Cocaine, atropine, and morphia are particularly good examples in this respect, since substances which are made like them have shown, clinically, local anaesthetic, antispasmodic, and marked analgesic properties, respective- ly. In each of these cases the physiological properties of the new compound seem to be similar to the compound to which it is structurally related. This has been verified in many other fields, but it is nevertheless evident that in certain cases, molecules which are chemically closely related have very dif- ferent and even antagonistic properties.

Signed Christy Elizabeth Newman Date: November 3, 1997 2. Title of Thesis:Repeat-the-Beat: Industries, Genres and Citizenships in Dance Music Magazines Repeat-The-Beat: iii Abstract This thesis examines a particular cultural object: dance music magazines. It explores the co-imbrication of the magazines with dance music and considers how a reconfiguration of the field of genre theory can help to dismantle the generic separations of ‘textual’ and ‘industrial’ approaches to cultural objects. The main argument of the thesis is as follows. The magazine industries produce an object of cultural exchange which is made commercially viable through a narrowing of its target audiences. These audiences arise in the space created by the dance music industries’ negotiation of an imagined contest between 'underground' authenticity and 'mainstream' productivity. In turn, dance music magazines produce a powerfully exclusive space for the communication networks of the dance music genre by capitalising on the desire to stabilise genre and therefore taking up generic instability as a positive youth marketing strategy.

  • Psychedelics Again
    Interview with Sasha T. Shulgin in San Francisco (Lafayette) at his home on July, 11th 2001 Claus: The first time I hit upon your name, was when I became interested in 2,5- dimethoxy-4-methyl-amphetamine (STP, DOM), and found an article authored by yourself. Once I had found your name, I looked for other publications by "A. Shulgin". When I had found a few, I thought it rather strange, that some publications gave a DOW chemical company address, and other articles gave a private address in Shulgin Road, in Lafayette/CA. Alexander: Yes that is interesting, that was around 1968-1970. That was a funny period; I was at Medical School at San Francisco, University of California. I would be wandering through the Haight-Ashbury and everyone around me was stoned on either LSD or who knows what it was called, STP or whatever, that day. And the crowd was turned on: music, love, and happiness. And I was 3 blocks away, memorising the Circle of Willis, and I was wandering about not realizing that the stoned-ness around me that I had invented about 10 years earlier. I did not realize what STP was; I did not know it was DOM. It took 6 months to unravel that. Claus: Do you know that there was a rumour around the day of the festival; the day 2,5-dimethoxy-4-methyl-amphetamine hit the street for the first time, that this was a chemical that came from DOW Chemical Company? Alexander: I never heard that. That makes sense though: I gave a seminar at Johns Hopkins and I talked about the chemical and there were some scraggy people, long hair, beards, stoned.
