A Critical Ethnography of Nightclub Space(S) DRAGGING IDENTITY: A CRITICAL ETHNOGRAPHY OF NIGHTCLUB SPACE(S) Andrea M. Davis A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2008 Committee: John T. Warren, Advisor Lynn A. Darby Graduate Faculty Representative Lynda Dee Dixon Lara Martin Lengel ii ABSTRACT John T. Warren, Advisor This study investigated the production of space within a nightclub that has weekly theme nights. Using critical ethnography and Butler’s theory of performativity, the researcher studied the ways in which space was created on 80s, Drag, and Goth Nights. Through participant-observation and in-depth interviews with patrons and employees at the club, the researcher argued identity performances altered the social space of the club from night-to-night and suggested the space changed through the physical things in the space and the rules associated with that space. Performativity of space, like performativity of identity, occurred not though a single performance but through the constant and consistent repetition of performances over a period of time. Specifically, the history of the space (each night building on the night before for years and years) created a stability for the nightclub that remained regardless of the individuals within it. The specific theme nights, however, did not reap the benefits of that stability. Despite the site-specific (read theme-night specific) normative performances in the space, the social space was altered through individual performances in the space as well as rules associated with the club. Through identity performances and moments in the space happening over and over again across a period of time, the researcher discovered not only the performativity of space as relates to Club North, but also the applicability of performativity to other social spaces. iii I dedicate this dissertation to my grandmothers: Claire T. (Connelly) Davis Ruth Jean (Michalek) Sausville Through different means they both inspired in me a love of learning. iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I have heard many variations of “a dissertation is not written in a vacuum.” Having completed my dissertation, I cannot argue with that statement. Throughout this process many people have provided different kinds of assistance to me: a ready ear to listen to me talk through a chapter, a KITA, and sometimes a night out where I didn’t have to think about the dissertation at all. First and foremost I would like to thank my committee: Dr. Lynn Darby, Dr. Lynda Dixon, and Dr. Lara Martin Lengel. It was through their feedback, questions, and ideas shared not only in official meetings, but also standing in the hallway or over a cup of coffee that I was able to think through and eventually complete this study. I would like to especially thank my advisor, Dr. John T. Warren, without whom I would still be floundering at the proposal stage. As much as I grew to fear the phrase “this is a good start,” and as much as I grit my teeth every time he told me to “push” the ideas, I learned to appreciate those phrases as I knew that they were important benchmarks to getting to a place where he would label a chapter “good.” It is due, in great part, to his patience and his willingness to push me that I have a document of which I can be proud. My friends and colleagues in Bowling Green have made my time here memorable. In particular I thank: Nicole “FB” Schultz, Ph.D. for always, always making time to play volleyball or listen or talk no matter what else was happening; Amy Smith, Ph.D. for some of my most vivid memories of BG and having billiards abilities just below my own; Scott Gust, Ph.D. for listening to my academic arguments when they were underdeveloped and for being the only other person I know who is willing to watch and talk about nearly any sport; Jessica Nodulman and Brian Self, for wonderful discussions v (okay, and drinks); and Sandra Faulkner, Ph.D. for her patience with my transcribing time and all of her help with my job search. There are two friends in particular without whom I’d still be trying to organize this study: Maddy Cahill, Ph.D. and Angie Prater. Maddy’s abilities as a goal partner (six years and counting, I think) are unparalleled. Through her encouragement and occasional “tough love” I pushed through to-do list after to-do list. Despite the busy life of an associate (now full!) professor she made time to check in nearly every day. Angie’s understanding, warmth, and optimism helped me through this last year. What started off as Monday accountability meetings soon became an incredibly close friendship that I cherish. Finally, I would like to thank those who supported me first: my family. Long before the dissertation, graduate school, or academic job search were part of my vocabulary, they encouraged me to try things, to learn things, and most importantly to enjoy things. My colorful array of aunts, uncles, and cousins has shaped who I am and I am grateful for their love and support. I especially thank: my parents, Donna and Michael Davis for pushing me to do my best even when they didn’t understand why I wanted the Ph.D. in the first place; and my aunt, Irene Chmura, for telling me I could make it, especially on those days where I didn’t think I could, and for regularly sending me “big box of _____” that always entertained me (and always included new toothbrush heads). vi TABLE OF CONTENTS Page CHAPTER I.

  • An Interview with John Thompson: Community Activist and Community Conversation Participant
    An Interview with John Thompson: Community Activist and Community Conversation Participant Interview conducted by Sharon Press1 SHARON: Thanks for letting me interview you. Let’s start with a little bit of background on John Thompson. Tell me about where you grew up. JOHN: I grew up on the south side of Chicago in a predominantly black neighborhood. I at- tended Henry O Tanner Elementary School in Chicago. I know throughout my time in Chicago, I always wanted to be a basketball player, so it went from wanting to be Dr. J to Michael Jordan, from Michael Jordan to Dennis Rodman, and from Dennis Rodman to Charles Barkley. I actu- ally thought that was the path I was gonna go, ‘cause I started getting so tall so fast at a young age. But Chicago was pretty rough and the public-school system in Chicago was pretty rough, so I come here to Minnesota, it’s like a culture shock. Different things, just different, like I don’t think there was one white person in my school in Chicago. SHARON: …and then you moved to Minnesota JOHN: I moved to Duluth Minnesota. I have five other siblings — two sisters, three brothers and I’m the baby of the family. Just recently I took on a program called Safe, and it’s a mentor- ship program for children, and I was asked, “Why would you wanna be a mentor to some of these mentees?” I said, “’Cause I was the little brother all the time.” So when I see some of the youth it was a no brainer, I’d be hypocritical not to help, ‘cause that’s how I was raised… from the butcher on the corner or my next-door neighbor, “You want me to call your mother on you?” If we got out of school early, or we had an early release, my mom would always give us instructions “You go to the neighbor’s house”, which was Miss Hollandsworth, “You go to Miss Hollandsworth’s house, and you better not give her no problems.

  • The Psytrance Party
    THE PSYTRANCE PARTY C. DE LEDESMA M.Phil. 2011 THE PSYTRANCE PARTY CHARLES DE LEDESMA A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the School of Humanities and Social Sciences, University of East London for the degree of Master of Philosophy August 2011 Abstract In my study, I explore a specific kind of Electronic Dance Music (EDM) event - the psytrance party to highlight the importance of social connectivity and the generation of a modern form of communitas (Turner, 1969, 1982). Since the early 90s psytrance, and a related earlier style, Goa trance, have been understood as hedonist music cultures where participants seek to get into a trance-like state through all night dancing and psychedelic drugs consumption. Authors (Cole and Hannan, 1997; D’Andrea, 2007; Partridge, 2004; St John 2010a and 2010b; Saldanha, 2007) conflate this electronic dance music with spirituality and indigene rituals. In addition, they locate psytrance in a neo-psychedelic countercultural continuum with roots stretching back to the 1960s. Others locate the trance party events, driven by fast, hypnotic, beat-driven, largely instrumental music, as post sub cultural and neo-tribal, representing symbolic resistance to capitalism and neo liberalism. My study is in partial agreement with these readings when applied to genre history, but questions their validity for contemporary practice. The data I collected at and around the 2008 Offworld festival demonstrates that participants found the psytrance experience enjoyable and enriching, despite an apparent lack of overt euphoria, spectacular transgression, or sustained hedonism. I suggest that my work adds to an existing body of literature on psytrance in its exploration of a dance music event as a liminal space, redolent with communitas, but one too which foregrounds mundane features, such as socialising and pleasure.

  • Environment and Children's Everyday Lives in India And
    Environment and children’s everyday lives in India and England: Experiences, understandings and practices Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Catherine Louise Walker University College London (UCL) Supervised by: Professor Ann Phoenix, Thomas Coram Research Unit, UCL Institute of Education Professor Janet Boddy, Centre for Innovation in Research on Childhood and Youth, University of Sussex 1 Declaration I carried out the study presented in this thesis as a doctoral researcher on the ESRC National Centre for Research Methods node NOVELLA (Narratives of Varied Everyday Lives and Linked Approaches), and in collaboration with researchers on two research studies, Family Lives and the Environment and Young Lives. The thesis presents data that have been generated through collaborative work between myself and members of these research studies. I conducted all of the new research in children’s schools and almost all of the new interviews with children in their homes. Except where explicit attribution is made, the analyses presented in this thesis are my own. Word count (exclusive of appendices and bibliography): 79,976 words 2 Abstract In the context of heightened global concerns about resource sustainability and ‘climate change’, children are often discursively positioned as the ‘next generation’ by environmentalists and policy makers concerned with addressing ‘climate change’ and environmental degradation. This positioning serves to present a moral case for action and to assign children a unique place in the creation of more sustainable societies. In this study I critically engage with the assumptions about children’s agency underlying such positioning by considering these assumptions in relation to children’s situated narratives of environment and everyday life.

  • Neotrance and the Psychedelic Festival DC
    Neotrance and the Psychedelic Festival GRAHAM ST JOHN UNIVERSITY OF REGINA, UNIVERSITY OF QUEENSLAND Abstract !is article explores the religio-spiritual characteristics of psytrance (psychedelic trance), attending speci"cally to the characteristics of what I call neotrance apparent within the contemporary trance event, the countercultural inheritance of the “tribal” psytrance festival, and the dramatizing of participants’ “ultimate concerns” within the festival framework.

  • Neo-Tribe Sociality in a Neoliberal World: a Case Study of Shambhala Music Festival Adrienne Ratushniak St
    Neo-tribe Sociality in a Neoliberal World: A Case Study of Shambhala Music Festival Adrienne Ratushniak St. Francis Xavier University , [email protected] ABSTRACT This case study of the electronic dance music (EDM) festival, Shambhala, in British Columbia, examines contemporary sociality. Both popular perception and academic discussion suggest that contemporary, neoliberal society is individualizing. In contrast, Michel Maffesoli (1996) argues that sociality is continuing but in a different form – what he refers to as a contemporary form of “neo-tribes,” temporary and episodic emotional communities formed through collective interest that counteract the alienating effect of neoliberal society. This research explores those two theories, using the 2015 Shambhala Music Festival, a single location of sociality, as the case study. The results of a rapid ethnographic study conducted throughout the festival’s duration in August 2015 indicate that most attendees enthusiastically confirm neo-tribalism, describing the festival as a powerful emotional “vibe” experienced collectively; sharing with and caring for each other; and a family-like “Shambhalove” among festival attendees; however, participant observation and close examination of the evidence also shows a few specific instances of neoliberal individualism. This paper explores how a community with strong neo-tribe characteristics can exist in a neoliberal capitalist context and with some attendees whose main reason for being at Shambhala is their own individual consumer gratification. Keywords: sociality, individualism, music festivals, neo-tribe, neoliberalism ISSN 2369-8721 | The JUE Volume 7 Issue 2, 2017 54 experience with the festival. I have attended the festival twice prior to this research, in 2013 and 2014, and my insider knowledge has given me an understanding of the festival which was useful in designing the research and proved valuable in my analysis of the data.

  • The Electronic Music Scene's Spatial Milieu
    The electronic music scene’s spatial milieu How space and place influence the formation of electronic music scenes – a comparison of the electronic music industries of Berlin and Amsterdam Research Master Urban Studies Hade Dorst – 5921791 [email protected] Supervisor: prof. Robert Kloosterman Abstract Music industries draw on the identity of their locations, and thrive under certain spatial conditions – or so it is hypothesized in this article. An overview is presented of the spatial conditions most beneficial for a flourishing electronic music industry, followed by a qualitative exploration of the development of two of the industry’s epicentres, Berlin and Amsterdam. It is shown that factors such as affordable spaces for music production, the existence of distinctive locations, affordability of living costs, and the density and type of actors in the scene have a significant impact on the structure of the electronic music scene. In Berlin, due to an abundance of vacant spaces and a lack of (enforcement of) regulation after the fall of the wall, a world-renowned club scene has emerged. A stricter enforcement of regulation and a shortage of inner-city space for creative activity in Amsterdam have resulted in a music scene where festivals and promoters predominate. Keywords economic geography, electronic music industry, music scenes, Berlin, Amsterdam Introduction The origins of many music genres can be related back to particular places, and in turn several cities are known to foster clusters of certain strands of the music industry (Lovering, 1998; Johansson and Bell, 2012). This also holds for electronic music; although the origins of techno and house can be traced back to Detroit and Chicago respectively, these genres matured in Germany and the Netherlands, especially in their capitals Berlin and Amsterdam.
