Safe As Milk Safe as Milk The Emasculation of All-Encompassing Utopianisms: Captain Beefheart‟s Tradition João Paulo Coutinho Guimarães MA in American Studies Faculdade de Letras da UC 2010/2011 João Paulo Coutinho Guimarães Safe as Milk The Emasculation of All-Encompassing Utopianisms: Captain Beefheart‟s Tradition Dissertação de Mestrado em Estudos Americanos, apresentada à Faculdade de Letras da Universidade de Coimbra, sob a orientação das Professoras Doutoras Maria Irene Ramalho e Graça Capinha. Agradecimentos Em primeiro lugar, um grande obrigado à Professora Adriana Bebiano e ao Professor Jonathan Auerbach – à primeira por ter sugerido que o trabalho que fiz para o seu seminário poderia ser aprofundado e transformado numa dissertação de mestrado, e ao segundo por ter renovado o meu entusiasmo pelo estudo académico deste autor tão singular e tão pouco considerado. Deixo também os meus agradecimentos aos meus pais, familiares, amigos e namorada, que tanta paciência tiveram face à necessária reclusão monástica durante os meses que demorei a redigir este texto. Uma palavra de apreço à minha mãe e aos meus amigos Ivo Ivanov e Mark Fitzgerald por terem lido e tecido comentários sempre muito profícuos para a qualidade da tese. Finalmente, queria dizer que fiquei muito reconhecido pela ajuda crucial, durante a revisão do trabalho, dada especialmente pela Professora Graça Capinha, mas também pela Professora Maria Irene Ramalho. Ambas contribuíram muito para a transparência na argumentação e para a coesão global do texto, qualidades que me esforcei para lhe imprimir, no sentido de cativar todos aqueles, académicos ou não, que sintam curiosidade em explorar o mundo assombroso do recentemente falecido, mas indelével, Captain Beefheart, a quem dedico com orgulho a presente dissertação. I perceive I have not really understood any thing, not a single object, and that no man ever can, Nature here in sight of the sea taking advantage of me to dart upon me and sting me, Because I have dared to open my mouth to sing at all. “As I Ebb‟d with the Ocean of Life”, Walt Whitman Contents An Unsuccessful Introduction

  • Modernism 1 Modernism
    Modernism 1 Modernism Modernism, in its broadest definition, is modern thought, character, or practice. More specifically, the term describes the modernist movement, its set of cultural tendencies and array of associated cultural movements, originally arising from wide-scale and far-reaching changes to Western society in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Modernism was a revolt against the conservative values of realism.[2] [3] [4] Arguably the most paradigmatic motive of modernism is the rejection of tradition and its reprise, incorporation, rewriting, recapitulation, revision and parody in new forms.[5] [6] [7] Modernism rejected the lingering certainty of Enlightenment thinking and also rejected the existence of a compassionate, all-powerful Creator God.[8] [9] In general, the term modernism encompasses the activities and output of those who felt the "traditional" forms of art, architecture, literature, religious faith, social organization and daily life were becoming outdated in the new economic, social, and political conditions of an Hans Hofmann, "The Gate", 1959–1960, emerging fully industrialized world. The poet Ezra Pound's 1934 collection: Solomon R.

Another paradigmatic exhortation was also as a teacher of art, and a modernist theorist articulated by philosopher and composer Theodor Adorno, who, in the both in his native Germany and later in the U.S. During the 1930s in New York and California he 1940s, challenged conventional surface coherence and appearance of introduced modernism and modernist theories to [10] harmony typical of the rationality of Enlightenment thinking.

  • Hall of Fame Andy Partridge
    Hall of Fame Andy Partridge Andrew John Partridge (born 11 November 1953) is an English singer, songwriter, guitarist, and record producer from Swindon. He is best known for co-founding the rock band XTC, in which he served as the group's primary songwriter and vocalist. While the band was formed as an early punk rock group, Partridge's music drew heavily from British Invasion songwriters, and his style gradually shifted to more traditional pop, often with pastoral themes. The band's only British top 10 hit, "Senses Working Overtime" (1982), was written by Partridge. In addition to his work with XTC, Partridge has released one solo album on Virgin Records in 1980 called Take Away / The Lure of Salvage. He has also collaborated (as performer, writer or record producer) with recording artists, including Martin Newell, with whom he recorded and produced an album in 1993 entitled The Greatest Living Englishman released in Japan as a duo album. Partridge was producer for the English band Blur during the recording of Modern Life Is Rubbish (1993). He was replaced by Stephen Street at the insistence of their record label, Food. According to Partridge he was unpaid for the sessions and received his expenses only. Partridge also wrote four songs for Disney's version of James and the Giant Peach (1996) but was replaced by Randy Newman when he could not get Disney to offer him "an acceptable deal". In the 2000s, Partridge began releasing demos of his songs under his own name in The Official Fuzzy Warbles Collector's Album and the Fuzzy Warbles album series on his APE House record label.
