Against the backdrop of the culture wars and before the rise of the Internet or desktop publishing, the zine and music culture of the Riot Grrrl movement empowered young women across the country to speak out against sexism and oppression, The Riot Grrrl Collection 1st edition a powerful new force of liberation and unity within and outside of the women's movement. While feminist bands like Bikini Kill and Bratmobile fought for their place in a male-dominated punk scene, their members and fans developed an extensive DIY network of activism and support. Johanna Fateman is a writer, musician, record producer, and member of the post-punk band Le Tigre. She, along with Kathleen Hanna and several other key Riot Grrrls, recently donated her zines and early writings to the Fales. Get A Copy.

I fully support this The Riot Grrrl Collection 1st edition and I am looking forward to seeing what people have to say about The Riot Grrrl Collection after they read it. I know I am not alone in welcoming critical, analytical responses to this document and the history that it represents. I will post a full review when I've finished reading the book but I already have a lot to say so I will start The Riot Grrrl Collection 1st edition the introduction. History that is being written and recorded is contestable terrain. I also had problems witnessing what I later learned is called the oppression Olympics see Elizabeth Martinez and some of the self-serving misuses of identity politics that I saw happening in the riot grrrl scene. There were also strategic differences — like wanting to play in bands and make zines but not wanting to go to C. This is all to say that YEAH - I The Riot Grrrl Collection 1st edition the hesitancy to call yourself a riot grrrl as something to respect and not something to gloss over. MAYBE I felt this way once a long, long, time ago - way back at the very beginning of riot grrrl…the year before it started…the summer it started, the month it started, the week it started, the day it started…that long hot summer evening in Malcolm X Park…in a secret grrrl gang solidarity letter to Jen Smith that spring? Before meetings were happening and it all was just this big utopian dream of revolution that some of us girls were using as a metaphor - or maybe a dare - as a way to imagine and talk about what a feminist network of action would The Riot Grrrl Collection 1st edition look like, as a way of getting to that next step, as a way to create a feminist future, as a way of asking for back up or to gather an army? That makes sense, as a lot of emotions you experience as a young person are hard to feel or even relate to later in life. Perhaps this is just something I blocked from my memory years ago? But then I noticed that the quote was credited to an issue of Girl Germs. I encourage those of us who were participants to comment on the historical record, to tell our version of what happened, to record our The Riot Grrrl Collection 1st edition and thoughts and find a way to The Riot Grrrl Collection 1st edition them. If you are reading "riot grrrl" zines for the first time I look forward to finding out how someone in The Riot Grrrl Collection 1st edition hear what we had to say about the world 20 or more years ago when we were much younger. Ok, that's it for now! Back to the book. I don't think Kathleen Hanna ended up writing the preface for the book even though she is listed here. Her writing is included in the book. I should add that Lisa did email me before the book came out to ask for my authorization to reprint my work and listed this quote in a long list of things she wanted my permission to reproduce. I just said yes to the whole email and didn't think about it too much until the book came out - so, in all fairness to Lisa, I want to say that I missed an opportunity to correct this mistake before it was published, which I now regret. View 1 comment. A life altering, grrrl inspiring collection of truth. This book is invaluable for anyone interested in the zines of Riot Grrrl. It's easy to forget that the movement was not just about music, but expression of The Riot Grrrl Collection 1st edition kinds, and especially literature. It was about opening up whole new ways of writing that differed from the typical, and writing about subjects that were pretty atypical at the time. Once you get past the spelling errors that are common throughout the zines, they are truly spectacular examples of total honesty in writing. An inspiring collec This book is invaluable for anyone interested in the zines of Riot Grrrl. An inspiring collection that I plan on perusing endlessly.

The desperation and urgency, plus the sense of spont This is an incredible anthology of some top notch zines from the Riot Grrrl era. The desperation and urgency, plus the sense of spontenaity and acceptance of imperfections found within the pages was so refreshing to see. The points made by some of the people who made these zines are thought of as ground-breaking now -- back in the 90s they were utterly unheard of and very radical. With a movement so scoffed and vilified by mainstream media, I believe that one of Riot Grrrl's biggest victories is that many of the points advocated back then are now setting the dialogue for the much more globalized world that we live in nowadays in the 21st century. I was particularly happy to see zine offerings from people of color as well as men. The chronicle of the Riot Grrrl Convention in the summer of by Ramdasha Bikceem was fantastic and I appreciated her insight into the DC scene as an outsider, especially a hilarious year-old punk skater African American grrrl whose The Riot Grrrl Collection 1st edition sense of humor and observation was able to pin-point all the bullshit that inevitably came to play an important factor in that time and place.

I will go back to this one for many years to come. Oct 16, Petty Lisbon rated it liked it. This was an informative book. I never thought about the difficulty of archiving things I say as have a poorly assembled DIY movie ticket scrapbook so having an expert curate this collection made me appreciate that more.

  • The DIY Careers of Techno and Drum 'N' Bass Djs in Vienna
    Cross-Dressing to Backbeats: The Status of the Electroclash Producer and the Politics of Electronic Music Feature Article David Madden Concordia University (Canada) Abstract Addressing the international emergence of electroclash at the turn of the millenium, this article investigates the distinct character of the genre and its related production practices, both in and out of the studio. Electroclash combines the extended pulsing sections of techno, house and other dance musics with the trashier energy of rock and new wave. The genre signals an attempt to reinvigorate dance music with a sense of sexuality, personality and irony. Electroclash also emphasizes, rather than hides, the European, trashy elements of electronic dance music. The coming together of rock and electro is examined vis-à-vis the ongoing changing sociality of music production/ distribution and the changing role of the producer. Numerous women, whether as solo producers, or in the context of collaborative groups, significantly contributed to shaping the aesthetics and production practices of electroclash, an anomaly in the history of popular music and electronic music, where the role of the producer has typically been associated with men. These changes are discussed in relation to the way electroclash producers Peaches, Le Tigre, Chicks on Speed, and Miss Kittin and the Hacker often used a hybrid approach to production that involves the integration of new(er) technologies, such as laptops containing various audio production softwares with older, inexpensive keyboards, microphones, samplers and drum machines to achieve the ironic backbeat laden hybrid electro-rock sound.

  • REFORMULATING the RIOT GRRRL MOVEMENT: GRRRL RIOT the REFORMULATING : Riot Grrrl, Lyrics, Space, Sisterhood, Kathleen Hanna
    REFORMULATING THE RIOT GRRRL MOVEMENT: SPACE AND SISTERHOOD IN KATHLEEN HANNA’S LYRICS Soraya Alonso Alconada Universidad del País Vasco (UPV/EHU) [email protected] Abstract Music has become a crucial domain to discuss issues such as gender, identities and equality. With this study I aim at carrying out a feminist critical discourse analysis of the lyrics by American singer and songwriter Kathleen Hanna (1968-), a pioneer within the underground punk culture and head figure of the Riot Grrrl movement. Covering relevant issues related to women’s conditions, Hanna’s lyrics put gender issues at the forefront and become a sig- nificant means to claim feminism in the underground. In this study I pay attention to the instances in which Hanna’s lyrics in Bikini Kill and Le Tigre exhibit a reading of sisterhood and space and by doing so, I will discuss women’s invisibility in underground music and broaden the social and cultural understanding of this music. Keywords: Riot Grrrl, lyrics, space, sisterhood, Kathleen Hanna. REFORMULANDO EL MOVIMIENTO RIOT GRRRL: ESPACIO Y SORORIDAD EN LAS LETRAS DE KATHLEEN HANNA Resumen 99 La música se ha convertido en un espacio en el que debatir temas como el género, la iden- tidad o la igualdad. Con este trabajo pretendo llevar a cabo un análisis crítico del discurso con perspectiva feminista de las letras de canciones de Kathleen Hanna (1968-), cantante y compositora americana, pionera del movimiento punk y figura principal del movimiento Riot Grrrl. Cubriendo temas relevantes relacionados con la condición de las mujeres, las letras de Hanna sitúan temas relacionados con el género en primera línea y se convierten en un medio significativo para reclamar el feminismo en la música underground.

    LIGHTBOX FILM CENTER AT INTERNATIONAL HOUSE PHILADELPHIA TO SCREEN LAURA PARNES’ ‘TOUR WITHOUT END.’ Wednesday, September 12 at 7pm Press Contact: [email protected] Philadelphia, PA–Lightbox Film Center at International House Philadelphia is pleased to announce the screening of Laura Parnes’ Tour Without End on Wednesday, September 12 at 7pm. This screening is part of Lightbox Film Center’s monthly Subversive Elements series dedicated to experimental film and moving image art. Parnes, a Philadelphia native and notable Tyler School of Art alumni, will be in attendance. The film features members of Gang Gang Dance, Julie Ruin, MEN, Eartheater, MGMT, Light Asylum and more. An official selection of the 2018 Sarasota Film Festival, Tour Without End is an experimental narrative comedy/documentary hybrid film. Casting real-life musicians, artists, and actors as fictional bands on tour, the film evolves into a cross-generational commentary on contemporary culture and politics in the Trump era. Shot over the course of 4 years between 2014-2018, at over 15 DIY music spaces in and around NYC, Tour Without End functions as a time capsule made more apparent by the shuttering of many of the films’ locations due to NYC’s rapid gentrification. The film’s multitude of characters are legendary performers in the downtown NYC arts scene including Wooster Group founder Kate Valk, Jim Fletcher (The NYC Players), musicians Lizzi Bougatsos, (Gang Gang Dance), Kathleen Hanna (The Julie Ruin), Brontez Purnell (The Younger Lovers), Eileen Myles, Alexandra Drewchin (Eartheater), Nicole Eisenman, K8 Hardy, Johanna Fateman (Le Tigre) Shannon Funchess (Light Asylum), JD Samson (MEN), Gary Indiana, Kembra Pfahler, (Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black), Rachel Mason, Tom McGrath, Matthew Asti (MGMT), Becca Blackwell, Christen Clifford, Alessandra Genovese (Crush), Rogelio Ramos (Love Pig), Kenya Robinson (Cheeky LaShae) and Neon Music (Youth Quake).

  • Killing Ourselves Is Not Subversive AM
    1 This is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Taylor & Francis in Women: A Cultural Review on 16 July 2015, available online: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/09574042.2015.1035021 Abstract: This article draws on material from the riot grrrl archives at New York University’s Fayles Library to examine the culture of ‘zine’ production in US riot grrrl communities during the 1990s. After investigating the relationship between the political issues and aesthetic strategies explored by riot grrrl literary producers, I analyse the points of tension arising within the movement which become illuminated by zines’ revelatory confessional modes, or what Mimi Thi Nguyen has called riot grrrl’s ‘aesthetics of access’. I subsequently enquire after the implications for riot grrrl politics of understanding experiences of oppression and transgressive behaviour as cultural commodities. Finally, I go on to trace the commodification of the transgressive feminist gesture in mainstream popular culture and contemporary US online feminist activism. Biographical information Emily Spiers is a Research Associate at the Department of European Languages and Cultures at Lancaster University. Her doctoral thesis explored modes of popular contemporary feminist writing in the US, Britain and Germany. She is currently researching feminist literary activism in relation to spoken-word poetry.

  • How to Take Care of Unruly Archives
    How to take care of unruly archives A conversation with Lisa Darms, editor and archivist of The Riot Grrrl Collection Lucie Ortmann (Essen) During the 1990s, members of the US American feminist movement Riot Grrrl articulated their message not only in punk rock, but particularly in multimedia fanzines and flyers, which they hand-lettered, drew, then copied and stapled and distributed themselves. These publications came out irregularly and they often lack dates or numbers. The book publication The Riot Grrrl Collection (The Feminist Press 2013), edited by Lisa Darms, presents a plethora of printed matter previously only available in local and limited editions to a new, broader audience. Alongside the reproduction of entire zines, excerpts and flyers, the book also includes samples of letters, hand- written lyrics and drawings, all presented in roughly chronological order. The size of the printed matter and other pieces of writing, sketches and drawings is adapted to the pages of the book – this makes the size of the individual documents more uniform, which helps legibility, but also subdues differences at first sight. © Lucie Ortmann: How to take care of unruly archives | MAP 9 (Mai 2018) | www.perfomap.de 1/10 Fig. 1-3, Flyer [The Revolution starts Here and Now…].

  • Claudette Schreuders
    June 4, 2019 By Wallace Ludel Claudette Schreuders Claudette Schreuders, The End, 2018, patinated bronze, enamel paint, 2 x 11 x 2". In this gallery’s back room, several smaller-than-life-size figurative sculptures by South African artist Claudette Schreuders stand or lie in various states of intimate repose. The show’s title, “In the Bedroom,” refers to the air of domesticity surrounding the body of work. Her subjects—carved from wood or cast in bronze—are mostly engaged in private acts, be it brushing their hair, lying in bed, or having spectacularly dull sex. The brilliantly titled Little Table, 2018, shows a straight couple mid-coitus; the woman is leaning forward, bent over the titular item of furniture, while the man mounts her from behind. She wears only a bra, and he an undershirt. The looks of ennui on their faces suggest that they are not enmeshed in the most passionate affair. Burning Secret, 2018, one of the few sculptures here to delve steadfast into the world of metaphor, shows a nude figure standing with her eyes closed. Her body is pockmarked by bits of fire. A 2019 bust of South African president Cyril Ramaphosa is also present. It feels singular because it’s not loosely based on someone from Schreuders’s personal life, asserting that the political and the personal are inextricably entwined—something we’re all too familiar with in the United States. Included in the exhibition are several prints and paintings on paper. Among them is Budgie, 2018, a lithograph depicting a lonely pet parakeet attentively sitting on its perch.
