Alan Ashton-Smith July 2012 Acknowledgements It is unlikely that I could have written this thesis anywhere except in the unique environment of the London Consortium, and I am grateful for the opportunity to be part of its PhD programme, and for the unwavering and wide-ranging interest and advice of its staff and students. I have had excellent supervision throughout the research and writing process. Many thanks are due to Steven Connor for his enthusiasm for the project and his polymathic advice, and to Ioana Szeman for her valuable expertise and ability to tease out threads of argument from tangled text. I am fortunate that the primary subjects of my research – the members of Gogol Bordello – allow themselves to be so accessible, and thank them for being happy to talk about their work, for sharing their riders, and for throwing magnificent afterparties.
