BIBLIOGRAFÍA................................................................................................................422 3 I. INTRODUCCIÓN. ¿Quizás... (como signo y medida de los tiempos de "productos light" o de certezas parciales o más concienzudas), un mundo reificado, deshumanizado por la cultura del dinero plástico y las deudas de fin de mes, de la mayoría de la población Chilena, ¡dividida! (¿antes no?)... en cómodas cuotas a largo plazo, o transferibles, luego del deceso del cliente, a la prole advenediza. La "reality" vida, coagulada invisiblemente en las jaquecas y salivaciones antes de dormir, para que a la mañana siguiente, uno más de otros más, se acoplen como ganado homo sapiens hacia las distintas alternativas de transporte -"amable" y "tuyo"- a los lugares de producción y reproducción, (si se tiene trabajo) bajo la atenta amenaza de un espaldarazo "amistoso" del gran paterfamilia y su "don" de dar vida material a nuestras expectativas, inoculando la naturaleza per -se del orden social y cultural actual?. ¿ Cómo me sitúo frente al tema de investigación?. Me permitiré hablar en primera persona dentro de este segmento de la introducción, ya que posibilita traspasar al lector, una sensación de "cercanía" de la experiencia vivida y considerada para trabajar en la investigación. Ya se cumplirán cerca de 20 años, desde que supe y me involucré en este tipo de expresiones (ahora analizadas). Antes de eso, a la edad de 9 años, variadas manifestaciones musicales, estéticas, energéticas (percibidas así en ese momento, y expresadas desde conceptos actuales), llamaron mi atención, debido a que no correspondían a las pautas y expresiones tradicionales encausadas cuasi- obligatoriamente desde la vida en el mundo de los párvulos y de la educación básica, por ejemplo: bailar cueca y vestirse de huaso, cantar el himno nacional y formar a discreción frente a la visita de las autoridades militares de las distintas ramas de las FF.AA, mientras algunos profesores y otros no, silenciaban su humanidad- emotiva ante el miedo de las uniformadas miradas neutralizadoras. Uniformidad, conformidad, el compañerismo escolar sumido dentro del paradigma de la generalización y las pautas culturales de la competencia por símbolos de status, demarcación, jerarquización, de los atributos de los - ahora - frutos de la modernización chilena (incluyéndome en esa vorágine también). Ya en la adolescencia y las problemáticas de ella como otras, sentirse ajeno a un modelo de vida (encausado sistemáticamente) no deseado, no claro, jamás aceptado, sólo silenciado con una sonrisa para no sentirse mucho más ajeno y más 4 extraño a las conductas, esfuerzos y a las búsquedas con pocas preguntas advertidas en el medio donde me desenvolvía diariamente... yo no tenía una respuesta, mas bien un sentimiento de asfixia y un gran deseo de expresar esos sentires (a la vez inquietudes). En el colegio, las acciones, la palabra que fuese diferente no tenía fruto más que en un espacio quizás paralelo, quizá transversal a la vida escolar. Todas las preguntas, desde la asfixia, se fueron respondiendo, pero fueron produciendo igualmente asfixia, una asfixia crónica. Las disputas generacionales importaban, pero no importaban tanto como el trasfondo que presentía en aquello. Propiamente, hacia fines de 1986, me involucré dentro de un concepto de ser, diferente a lo dado, dentro de un "algo" que no manejaba analíticamente, mas bien sentía la necesidad de encausar sentimientos y proponer visiblemente mi identidad (en construcción, socialización secundaria), mi ser, frente al medio adverso. Conocí, lo que en esa época se denominó: Movimiento Thrash. Pues hacia fines de 1987, ya sabía y había accedido a bastante información del Thrash y otras expresiones que pueden ser agrupadas en el underground. Ese año, supe cabalmente sobre el punk (música, estilos relacionados, actitudes). Desde 1987 hasta 1990, me sentí que construía - individual y juntos a otros- "algo", algo verdadero - pese a las estéticas regulares y estereotipos -, una "verdad", donde mis deseos podían ser expresados, mis acciones llevadas a cabo. Desde 1987, pude conocer gente de otros países sin viajar, contactar gente lejana sentida como cercana, algunas buenas amistades, otras no tanto. Enterarme y apoderarme de ciertas palabras que señalaban conceptos profundos, que iban confirmando mis inquietudes "existenciales", respecto a querer ser y poder ser, respecto a una realidad y ordenamiento considerado "absurdo", que proporcionalmente me hacia sentir ajeno (aunque problematizado y compenetrado en tal dilema). Todo lo que acontecía en esos tiempos, paralelamente se sumaba hacia una reflexión (probablemente, conceptualmente más limitada) del medio y la totalidad donde me movía, como de mi misma contingencia existencial e identitaria. En un tiempo me fui separando de las expectativas y de las definiciones - muchas veces estrechas- que proporcionaba el ethos thrash o punk observado. Cosas que no compartía y otras sí. Forjando desde allí una mirada más pulida, particular y autónoma, no sólo del ambiente punk o thrash, sino de la sociedad, de la vida, la soledad, la masa, el conformismo, la alienación, el poder, la uniformidad de 5 pensamientos y criterios, el clasismo, discriminación, hipocresía, doble estándar, etc. Posteriormente, viviendo en Santiago en 1996, pude presenciar el nacimiento de "aquello" contemplado cuando comenzaba mi adolescencia: ser parte de

  • Mythopoesis, Scenes and Performance Fictions: Two Case Studies (Crass and Thee Temple Ov Psychick Youth)
    This is an un-peer reviewed and un-copy edited draft of an article submitted to Parasol. Mythopoesis, Scenes and Performance Fictions: Two Case Studies (Crass and Thee Temple ov Psychick Youth) Simon O’Sullivan, Goldsmiths College, London Days were spent in fumes from the copying machine, from the aerosols and inks of the ‘banner production department’ – bed sheets vanished – banners appeared, from the soldering of audio, video, and lighting leads. The place stank. The garden was strewn with the custom made cabinets of the group’s equipment, the black silk- emulsion paint drying on the hessian surfaces. Everything matched. The band logo shone silver from the bullet-proof Crimpeline of the speaker front. Very neat. Very fetching. Peter Wright (quoted in George Berger, The Story of Crass) One thing was central to TOPY, apart from all the tactics and vivid aspects, and that was that beyond all else we desperately wanted to discover and develop a system of practices that would finally enable us and like minded individuals to consciously change our behaviours, erase our negative loops and become focussed and unencumbered with psychological baggage. Genesis P-Orridge, Thee Psychick Bible In this brief article I want to explore two scenes from the late 1970s/1980s: the groups Crass (1977-84) and Thee Temple ov Psychick Youth (1981-). Both of these ‘performance fictions’ (as I will call them) had a mythopoetic character (they produced – or fictioned – their own world), perhaps most evident in the emphasis on performance and collective participation. They also involved a focus on self- determination, and, with that, presented a challenge to more dominant fictions and consensual reality more generally.1 1.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 Abstract As popular music eclipsed Hollywood as the most powerful mode of seduction of Western youth, rock-stars erupted through the counter-culture as potent political figures. Following its sensational arrival, the politics of popular musical culture has however moved from the shared experience of protest movements and picket lines and to an individualised and celebrified consumerist experience. As a consequence what emerged, as a controversial and subversive phenomenon, has been de-fanged and transformed into a mechanism of establishment support.

  • Unmasking the Übermensch the Evolution of Nietzsche's Overman
    Unmasking the Übermensch The Evolution of Nietzsche’s Overman from David Bowie to Westworld _______________________________________________________________________ Siobhan Lyons Abstract Amongst Friedrich Nietzsche’s philosophical concepts – ‘god is dead’, eternal return – his concept of the Übermensch remains the most controversial and also the most debated, with various conflicting opinions on the precise nature (and intentions) of this enigmatic creature. More than a metaphorical concept, Nietzsche envisioned the possibility of such a transcendent figure, who existed beyond the conventional laws of good and evil and who would usher in a new system of values more befitting Nietzsche’s idealistic philosophy. Nietzsche would continually revisit the Übermensch throughout his work and revise its character, which would see the Übermensch evolve from an idealistic figure to a more tyrannical creature. Consequently, Nietzsche’s ambiguous treatment of the Übermensch inspired many dubious beliefs, from the Aryan ideal in Nazism to the perverse philosophy behind the infamous murders committed by Lewis and Loeb. Interpretations of the Nietzschean Übermensch can also be found frequently throughout popular culture, from the music of David Bowie to David Fincher’s Fight Club and the television series Westworld. While Bowie treated the Übermensch as a supernatural figure who abandoned the terrestrial world, the Übermensch was used to endorse underground philosophies predicated on violence in Fight Club, problematically linking the ideal of ‘self-overcoming’ with the oppression of others. A look at Westworld, however, reveals a far more nuanced understanding of the Übermensch’s potential as a figure who, while capable of tyranny, is able to channel their aggression in ways that push society in a new direction, forcing us to reconsider what transcendence truly entails.

  • 'The Hippies Now Wear Black' Crass and the Anarcho
    ‘The hippies now wear black’ | Socialist History – The Hippies Now Wear Black | Richard Cross ‘The hippies now wear black’ Crass and the anarcho-punk movement, 1977-1984 ew social historians of Britain in the late 1970s would dismiss the influence that the emergent punk rock movement exerted in the fields of music, fashion and design, art and F aesthetics. Most would accept too that the repercussions and reverberations of punk’s challenge to suffocating norms against which it rebelled so vehemently continue to be felt in the present tense.1 Behind the tabloid preoccupation with the Sex Pistols, a maelstrom of bands, including such acts as The Damned, The Buzzcocks, Slaughter and the Dogs, X-Ray Spex and The Raincoats, together redefined the experience of popular music and its relationship to the cultural mainstream. Bursting into the headlines as the unwelcome gatecrasher of the Silver Jubilee celebrations, punk inspired the misfits and malcontents of a new generation to reject the constraints of an exhausted post-war settlement, and to rail against boredom, alienation, wage-slavery, and social conformity. Yet, in retrospect, the purity of punk’s ‘total rejection’ of ‘straight society’ (if not seen as comprised from the outset) appears fleeting. By the tail-end of 1977, the integrity of punk’s critique seemed to be fast unravelling. What had declared itself to be an uncompromising cultural and musical assault on an ossified status quo, was become increased ensnared in the compromises of ‘incorporation’ and ‘commodification’. Punk bands which had earlier denounced the corporate big- time were signing lucrative deals with major record labels, keen to package and promote their rebellious messages.

    ‘Better Decide Which Side You’re On’: Authenticity, Politics and Post-Punk in Thatcherite Britain Doctor of Philosophy (Music) 2014 Joseph O’Connell Joseph O’Connell Acknowledgements Acknowledgements I could not have completed this work without the support and encouragement of my supervisor: Dr Sarah Hill. Alongside your valuable insights and academic expertise, you were also supportive and understanding of a range of personal milestones which took place during the project. I would also like to extend my thanks to other members of the School of Music faculty who offered valuable insight during my research: Dr Kenneth Gloag; Dr Amanda Villepastour; and Prof. David Wyn Jones. My completion of this project would have been impossible without the support of my parents: Denise Arkell and John O’Connell. Without your understanding and backing it would have taken another five years to finish (and nobody wanted that). I would also like to thank my daughter Cecilia for her input during the final twelve months of the project. I look forward to making up for the periods of time we were apart while you allowed me to complete this work. Finally, I would like to thank my wife: Anne-Marie. You were with me every step of the way and remained understanding, supportive and caring throughout. We have been through a lot together during the time it took to complete this thesis, and I am looking forward to many years of looking back and laughing about it all. i Joseph O’Connell Contents Table of Contents Introduction 4 I.
