  • Full Results of Survey of Songs
    Existential Songs Full results Supplementary material for Mick Cooper’s Existential psychotherapy and counselling: Contributions to a pluralistic practice (Sage, 2015), Appendix. One of the great strengths of existential philosophy is that it stretches far beyond psychotherapy and counselling; into art, literature and many other forms of popular culture. This means that there are many – including films, novels and songs that convey the key messages of existentialism. These may be useful for trainees of existential therapy, and also as recommendations for clients to deepen an understanding of this way of seeing the world. In order to identify the most helpful resources, an online survey was conducted in the summer of 2014 to identify the key existential films, books and novels. Invites were sent out via email to existential training institutes and societies, and through social media. Participants were invited to nominate up to three of each art media that ‘most strongly communicate the core messages of existentialism’. In total, 119 people took part in the survey (i.e., gave one or more response). Approximately half were female (n = 57) and half were male (n = 56), with one of other gender. The average age was 47 years old (range 26–89). The participants were primarily distributed across the UK (n = 37), continental Europe (n = 34), North America (n = 24), Australia (n = 15) and Asia (n = 6). Around 90% of the respondents were either qualified therapists (n = 78) or in training (n = 26). Of these, around two-thirds (n = 69) considered themselves existential therapists, and one third (n = 32) did not. There were 235 nominations for the key existential song, with enormous variation across the different respondents.

In Author a new series, our authors nominate their favourites. David McCooey Professor of Writing and Literature, Deakin University Kate Bush’s Hounds of Love (1985) was the first album I heard on CD. With its use of the Fairlight CMI (a digital synthesizer/sampler workstation), digital reverb, and drum machines, it was perhaps eminently suitable for the CD format. But under its shiny digital sound, Hounds of Love was very much an LP, as seen in its two-part structure. Side one, Hounds of Love, covers themes characteristic of Bush: intimacy and its limits (Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God) and The Big Sky); familial love (albeit darkly articulated in Mother Stands for Comfort); and the intensity and ambivalence of sexual desire (Hounds of Love). Meanwhile, side two comprises of The Ninth Wave, a song cycle about a woman who has fallen into the sea at night, with only the “little light” of her life jacket to guide her.

  • “Fascinating Rhythm”—Fred and Adele Astaire; George Gershwin, Piano (1926) Added to the National Registry: 2004 Essay by Cary O’Dell
    “Fascinating Rhythm”—Fred and Adele Astaire; George Gershwin, piano (1926) Added to the National Registry: 2004 Essay by Cary O’Dell George Gerswhin Fred Astaire Adele Astaire For an artist so synonymous with dance, Fred Astaire is also certainly associated with a wide selection of musical standards—“Cheek to Cheek,” “Top Hat,” “Funny Face” and “Night and Day,” to name just a few. And for a man forever partnered with Ginger Rogers within popular culture, Astaire got his first taste of stardom while still teamed with his talented elder sister and longtime stage co-star, Adele. Both natural-born dancers with unbelievable technique and an innate sense of rhythm, the Astaires began performing as a brother-sister team in vaudeville in the 1900’s. Eventually, they worked their way up to the Orpheum Circuit. Filling their act with songs, sibling teasing and, of course, dance, the duo first appeared on Broadway, in the show “Over the Top,” in 1917. Meanwhile, though the brothers Gershwin, George and Ira, were each having some individual success as Tin Pan Alley tunesmiths in the early 1920’s, they achieved their greatest success when they teamed up together for the Broadway stage and wrote the musical “Lady, Be Good” in 1924. Along with composing that show’s long-enduring title tune, the Gerswhins also wrote “Fascinating Rhythm,” a bouncy duet that Fred and Adele would perform in the show in New York and in London’s West End. They would commit it to record, on Columbia, with George Gerswhin on piano, in 1926. This recording was named to the Library of Congress’ National Registry in 2004.

  • “Into the Sensual World”: Gender Subversion in the Work of Kate Bush
    “Into the Sensual World”: Gender Subversion in the Work of Kate Bush BA Thesis English Literature Supervisor: Dr U. Wilbers Semester 2 image: Sarah Neutkens, 2019 Severens 1 Engelse Taal en Cultuur Teacher who will receive this document: Dr Usha Wilbers Title of document: “Into the Sensual World”: Gender Subversion in the Work of Kate Bush Name of course: BA Thesis Course Date of submission: 14–06–2019 The work submitted here is the sole responsibility of the undersigned, who has neither committed plagiarism nor colluded in its production. Signed: Name of student: Student number: Severens 2 Abstract Kate Bush remains one of the most successful and original British female music artists and is often perceived as a female pioneer. This thesis analyses a selection of her earlier work in order to establish how she represents issues of gender and sexuality in her lyrics and performances. Her work is evaluated through the lens of two feminist theories: écriture feminine and gender performativity. Écriture féminine is employed to determine how Bush writes and reclaims female sexuality, while gender performativity subsequently shows how she transcends her position as a woman by taking on and representing characters of the opposite gender. This thesis argues that Bush constructs narratives in her lyrics to represent experiences which transcend the boundaries of binary gender and challenge social sexual norms.
