Dear Students – This Letter Is to Introduce You Both to Me and to the Course. I Am a Professor of Psychology at Indiana State Dear Students – This letter is to introduce you both to me and to the course. I am a Professor of Psychology at Indiana State University (ISU) in Terre Haute, IN. I got my undergraduate degree in psychology at Indiana University (IU) in Bloomington and my Ph.D. in clinical psychology at the University of Missouri in Columbia, MO. I did my clinical psychology internship at the IU Medical School Internship Consortium in Indianapolis, IN. I case you haven’t guessed by now, I grew up in Indiana (Warren Central High School class of ’79). Although I had hoped to end up living somewhere with mountains, my family and I have been in Terre Haute since 1993 and do enjoy living here (although my daughter hopes to end up in the UK at some point). As a clinical psychologist I have worked in hospital, community mental health, and correctional settings. Thus, I have been able to work with a diverse array of clients with a wide variety of presenting concerns. My research has focused primarily on social influences on substance use and abuse, including studies about drinking games in college students, the role of religion and spirituality in influencing substance use and problems, and substance use in the Electronic Dance Music (EDM) scene. Some of that work has been funded by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. I have also collaborated on various research projects on the psychology of religion, as well as studies of the effects of exposure to violent media on commission of extreme violence. At ISU I teach courses in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Theories of Addiction, Positive Psychology, Psychology of Music, Positive and Negative Effects of Music, and History of Psychology. I have also been a musician since I was in the 5th grade, starting out on trumpet and later picking up keyboards, guitar, and even trying my hand at tin whistle. I have played in various rock and jazz groups and studied music at IU, at the University of Wisconsin, and here at ISU. I think of myself primarily as a composer/songwriter and I continue to write jazz, choral works, and chamber music. I have also written book, music, and lyrics for two full length musicals, which were performed in Terre Haute in 2011 and 2016. This course thus combines a number of my interests (psychology, addictive behaviors) and passions (music, history, and all things British). In my academic life, I have been fortunate to be able to do interdisciplinary work, collaborating with individuals from medicine, philosophy, theology, sociology, history, and other disciplines. This course is intended to be interdisciplinary in nature. We will be drawing primarily on the scholarship of psychologists, sociologists, and musicologists, but also work by life scientists, anthropologists, historians, and people who would identify themselves as scholars in the area of cultural studies, subcultural studies, and/or postsubcultural studies. (You will learn more about those terms in the course.) Part of our task will be to examine certain phenomena (specific subcultures) through the various lenses that different disciplines provide. Finally, although this is only my fifth trip to UK, I have been a committed Anglophile for as long as I can remember. (If you don’t know what that means, look it up, and don’t worry, it is nothing that would get me arrested.) I love Celtic and British history, music, and literature, so I am very excited to be able to offer this course in London, one of history’s truly great cities! Tom Johnson, Ph.D., HSPP SEX, DRUGS, AND ROCK & ROLL: MUSIC AND DRUG SUBCULTURES IN THE UK Syllabus & Schedule June 2017 Draft Instructor: Thomas J. Johnson, Ph.D. [email protected] Dr. Johnson’s course will examine some different ideas about why and how specific subcultures have become associated with specific types of drug use, types of music, and political and ideological views, including attitudes towards gender and sexuality. The course is interdisciplinary in nature drawing primarily from psychology, sociology, and musicology, but also drawing on material from history and biology. Being located in London gives us an excellent opportunity to compare British and US culture and subcultures. We will begin with early British subcultures and focus extensively on the psychedelic scene of the late 1960s and early 1970s. We will also cover a variety of other scenes and styles of music, including punk, goth, Hip-Hop, and Rave or Electronic Dance Music (EDM). We will also listen to and learn about reggae, glam, heavy metal, new romantics, emo and subcultures related to these genres. When we listen to some of the music associated with these different subcultures we will aim to identify aspects of performance and musical style unique to each. We will use a variety of “lenses” (i.e., academic disciplines) to try and understand how and why individuals are drawn to these specific subcultures and the music, substances, and lifestyles that characterize each. Biological explanations for drug use (and sexuality) have tended to focus on the pleasure circuits of the brain. Activity in these same pathways also occurs in response to music. Brain circuits involved in inhibition of behavior have also been implicated as connected to various kinds of risky behavior, including drug use and risky sexual activity. While there are numerous psychological theories related to drug use, music preferences, and sexuality, we will focus on models that have considered the role of identity, personality, affect regulation, and incentive motivation (reinforcement, etc.). Many sociocultural theories have focused on political and economic factors that influence the development of subcultures. Additional sociological models have considered how drug use or particular forms of music are related to group identity, rejection of middle class values, and/or sanctioning time out from typical social obligations. More recently, sociologists have viewed subcultures and youth movements as filling a number of positive functions in the lives of members. We will discuss and evaluate how these different theories help us understand subcultures, considering both the strengths and limitations of various ways of viewing such subcultures. We will have two formal half day class meetings and one full day field trip each week of the course. An additional meeting is scheduled during the last week of classes for the mandatory final exam (required in all courses in the London program). Grading for the course is addressed below. Readings: Required Book – Purchase through Amazon or some other on-line source. As of May 2017 it is selling for $14.54 new on Amazon; used for $13.00 and $10.00 for a Kindle version. Baddeley, G. (2015). Street Culture: 50 Years of Subculture Style. London: Plexus. Readings Provided: The remainder of the required readings will be provided by your instructor. I will e- mail every student PDF copies of these readings before we leave for the UK. Before you leave – It is common for instructors of courses in the London program to have assignments to be completed before leaving for London. For this class, I have already sent you PDFs of article on Post World War II youth culture, subcultures, and British culture in general to read before we leave for London (or at least on the plane). Some students like to “pre-read” course materials so that they have more time in London, so you are welcome to read all the assigned material before the trip. However, if you do this, you’ll still probably need to remind yourself of the contents prior to each class meeting. You are expected to come to class each day having read, and /or listened to, the material assigned for that day. In addition to the readings for each class, there are also links to musical performances or videos related to the genre or topic for the day. While we will listen to and discuss music in class, I also expect you to listen to some material outside of class as well. Each set of readings and listening assignments has a corresponding set of questions you will be asked to address in the journal you will keep for the course (see the section on grading below). These questions will help prepare you for class discussion and the quiz that will start each day of class, as well as get you thinking about important issues for the course. MAKE SURE YOU KEEP UP WITH THE READINGS! If you do read much of the material before we leave, at the very least you will want to review these before each class so that you are ready for quizzes and discussion. CLASS POLICIES 1) Attendance - Students are expected to attend all scheduled classes and field trips. As in any summer class, the short amount of time available means that we have to pack a lot into each class meeting. If you miss a class or fieldtrip without a VERY good and documentable excuse (i.e., being in the hospital would count, but being hungover would NOT) I will deduct one letter grade from your final grade in the class for each unexcused absence. 2) Academic Integrity - We will follow Standard Student Honor Code practices for this course. You will be expected to turn in your own original work for papers and journal assignments and to perform honestly on all quizzes and exams. Violations of these practices can result in penalties that vary with the severity of the infraction, but an instance of serious cheating or plagiarism (or multiple less serious infractions) could result in your failing the course. CCSA will report violations of academic integrity to your home university. Thus, what happens in London will NOT stay in London, and you can assume that whatever policies regarding academic dishonesty or academic integrity your home university has will apply while you are in London.

  • SUBCULTURE: the MEANING of STYLE with Laughter in the Record-Office of the Station, and the Police ‘Smelling of Garlic, Sweat and Oil, But
    DICK HEBDIGE SUBCULTURE THE MEANING OF STYLE LONDON AND NEW YORK INTRODUCTION: SUBCULTURE AND STYLE I managed to get about twenty photographs, and with bits of chewed bread I pasted them on the back of the cardboard sheet of regulations that hangs on the wall. Some are pinned up with bits of brass wire which the foreman brings me and on which I have to string coloured glass beads. Using the same beads with which the prisoners next door make funeral wreaths, I have made star-shaped frames for the most purely criminal. In the evening, as you open your window to the street, I turn the back of the regulation sheet towards me. Smiles and sneers, alike inexorable, enter me by all the holes I offer. They watch over my little routines. (Genet, 1966a) N the opening pages of The Thief’s Journal, Jean Genet describes how a tube of vaseline, found in his Ipossession, is confiscated by the Spanish police during a raid. This ‘dirty, wretched object’, proclaiming his homosexuality to the world, becomes for Genet a kind of guarantee - ‘the sign of a secret grace which was soon to save me from contempt’. The discovery of the vaseline is greeted 2 SUBCULTURE: THE MEANING OF STYLE with laughter in the record-office of the station, and the police ‘smelling of garlic, sweat and oil, but . strong in their moral assurance’ subject Genet to a tirade of hostile innuendo. The author joins in the laughter too (‘though painfully’) but later, in his cell, ‘the image of the tube of vaseline never left me’.

    Humanities Seminars Program Spring 2019 The Sixties: Culture, Counterculture, Art Professor Paul Ivey, [email protected] Wednesday mornings from 9:00 a.m. until 12:00 p.m.: Rubel Room at the Poetry Center Brief Description: This ten week course will explore the culture, counterculture, and art of the long decade of the 1960s, centering on youthful artists in the United States, beginning with Abstract Expressionism, and ending with what critic Lucy Lippard called the “dematerialization of the art object.” Social history, semiotic analysis, literary and film theory, and art history will inform my discussions. Themes include the Cold War and Beat culture, the rise of Minimalism and Pop Art, psychedelic experience, the prominence of advertising and the marketing of “cool,” student movements, censorship, Rock music culture, the Vietnam War, and hippie communal spirituality. In addition to lectures, Dr. Ivey will provide articles, book titles, and films and encourage participants to read, study, and view during the ten week period of the course. A Note on Content: The subject matter of this course contains material that may challenge or offend your moral, religious or political values and beliefs. During the course of our ten weeks together, we will encounter and discuss works of art and culture that contain or deal with nudity, profanity, sexuality, politics and violence. Your Professor: Professor Ivey, winner of two Humanities Seminars Superior Teaching Awards, teaches modern and contemporary art in the School of Art. His research interests include the built environments of alternative American religions, and spirituality in contemporary art. His most recent book is Radiance from Halcyon, A Utopian Experiment in Religion and Science (2013), a revealing history of a surprisingly influential theosophical utopian community.

  • Understanding Youth and Culture
    Module 4 ‐ Understanding Youth and Culture Subcultures: definitions Look at the list of some subcultures that are observed in youth culture around the world1. Punk The punk subculture is based around punk rock. It emerged from the larger rock music scene in the mid‐to‐late‐1970s in the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Australia, and Japan. The punk movement has spread around the globe and developed into a number of different forms. Punk culture encompasses distinct styles of music, ideologies, fashion, visual art, dance, literature, and film. Punk also lays claim to a lifestyle and community. Biker Around the world, motorcycles have historically been associated with subcultures. Some of these subcultures have been loose‐knit social groups such as the cafe racers of 1950s Britain, and the Mods and Rockers of the 1960s. A few are believed to be criminal gangs. Social motorcyclist organisations are popular and are sometimes organised geographically, focus on individual makes, or even specific models. Many motorcycle organisations raise money for charities through organised events and rides. Some organisations hold large international motorcycle rallies in different parts of the world that are attended by many thousands of riders. Bōsōzoku (暴走族 "violent running gang") is a Japanese subculture associated with motorcycle clubs and gangs. They were first seen in the 1950s as the Japanese automobile industry expanded rapidly. The first bōsōzoku were known as kaminari‐zoku (雷族 "Lightning Tribes"). It is common to see bōsōzoku groups socializing in city centres and playing loud music characterized by their lifestyle, such as The Roosters, and the Street Sliders.

  • The Working-Class and Post-War Britain in Pete Townshend's
    Class, Youth, and Dirty Jobs: the working-class and post-war Britain in Pete Townshend’s Quadrophenia This chapter examines Pete Townshend’s Quadrophenia (1973) and the way in which it depicts continuity and change in the lives of the British working-class in the period that the album documents (1964/5), the political milieu in which it was written (1972/3), and the legacy of the concept that was depicted in the screen version directed by Franc Roddam (1978/9).1 Quadrophenia was recorded and released in a fraught period of industrial militancy in Britain that had not been witnessed since the general strike of 1926.2 The album can be ‘read’ as both a social history of an element of youth culture in the mid-1960s, but also a reflection on contemporary anxieties relating to youth, class, race, and national identity in the period 1972/3.3 Similarly, the cinematic version of Quadrophenia was conceived and directed in 1978/9 in the months prior to and after Margaret Thatcher was swept to power, ushering in a long period of Conservative politics that economically, socially, and culturally reshaped British society.4 Quadrophenia is a significant historical source for ‘reading’ these pivotal years and providing a sense of how musicians and writers were both reflecting and dramatizing a sense of ‘crisis’, ‘continuity’, and ‘change’ in working-class Britain.5 Along with the novels and films of the English ‘new wave’ and contemporary sociological examinations of working-class communities and youth culture, Quadrophenia represents a classic slice of ‘social realism’, social history, and political commentary.

  • MAKING the SCENE: Yorkville and Hip Toronto, 1960-1970 by Stuart
    MAKING THE SCENE: Yorkville and Hip Toronto, 1960-1970 by Stuart Robert Henderson A thesis submitted to the Department of History in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada October, 2007 Copyright © Stuart Robert Henderson, 2007 Abstract For a short period during the 1960s Toronto’s Yorkville district was found at the centre of Canada’s youthful bohemian scene. Students, artists, hippies, greasers, bikers, and “weekenders” congregated in and around the district, enjoying the live music and theatre in its many coffee houses, its low-rent housing in overcrowded Victorian walk- ups, and its perceived saturation with anti-establishmentarian energy. For a period of roughly ten years, Yorkville served as a crossroads for Torontonian (and even English Canadian) youth, as a venue for experimentation with alternative lifestyles and beliefs, and an apparent refuge from the dominant culture and the stifling expectations it had placed upon them. Indeed, by 1964 every young Torontonian (and many young Canadians) likely knew that social rebellion and Yorkville went together as fingers interlaced. Making the Scene unpacks the complicated history of this fraught community, examining the various meanings represented by this alternative scene in an anxious 1960s. Throughout, this dissertation emphasizes the relationship between power, authenticity and identity on the figurative stage for identity performance that was Yorkville. ii Acknowledgements Making the Scene is successful by large measure as a result of the collaborative efforts of my supervisors Karen Dubinsky and Ian McKay, whose respective guidance and collective wisdom has saved me from myself on more than one occasion.

  • “Seditionaries”
    “Seditionaries” By Kelly Arlene Grant A Thesis Submitted to Saint Mary’s University, Halifax, Nova Scotia in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Masters of Arts in Women and Gender Studies. April 24, 2015, Halifax, Nova Scotia Copyright Kelly Arlene Grant, 2015 Approved: Dr. Randi Warne Supervisor Approved: Dr Michele Byers Examiner Approved: Dr Jayne Wark Reader Date: April 24, 2015 0 Abstract “Seditionaries” by Kelly Arlene Grant Abstract: What has fashion to do with gender studies? This is a reasonable question to ask. How the body is constrained, decorated and presented has been a central enterprise in human culture, and continues to be so today. This thesis will explore the world of 1970s UK Punk beyond Malcolm McLaren, intentionally shifting focus to Vivienne Westwood and the larger cultural landscape. It will explain the context within which a normative hyper masculine narrative has been drawn in the past and will lift up other equally rich and important aspects of Punk through the medium of sartorial language. The young women and men of the Bromley Contingent will serve as a key example of how the clothing Vivienne Westwood designed was used and incorporated within an existing Mod and Teddy-boy aesthetic to express their identity and create a subcultural aesthetic in the UK. April 24, 2015 1 Acknowledgements It is important that I recognize the importance of several people to the completion of this project. First, Dr. R. R. Warne, without whose guidance and ear I may not have completed this program. Also, my husband Pierre Longtin, who pushed me to return to academia, my mother Dianne Grant, who wouldn’t let me give up, and my brother Dane for starting me off on the best financial footing.
