V Brně dne 15. května 2011 Jan Segeš Poděkování Děkuji doc. PhDr. Csabovi Szaló, Ph.D. za odborné vedení práce a za podnětné připomínky, které mi poskytl. Dále děkuji RaveBoyovi za ochotu odpovídat na mé otázky a přístup k archivu dokumentů. V neposlední řadě děkuji svým rodičům a prarodičům za jejich podporu v průběhu celého mého studia. ANOTACE Práce se zabývá politizací freetekno subkultury v České Republice. Politizace je v nahlíţena ve dvou dimenzích. První dimenzí je explicitní politizace, kterou můţeme vnímat jako aktivní politickou participaci. Druhou dimenzí je politizace na úrovni kaţdodenního ţivota. Ta je odkrývána díky re-definici subkultury pomocí post- subkulturních teorií, zejména pak Maffesoliho konceptem neotribalismu a teorie dočasné autonomní zóny Hakima Beye. Práce se snaţí odkrýt obě úrovně politizace freetekno subkultury v českém prostředí pomocí analýzy dostupných dokumentů týkajících se teknivalů CzechTek, CzaroTek a pouličního festivalu DIY Karneval. Rozsah práce: základní text + poznámky pod čarou, titulní list, obsah, rejstřík, anotace a seznam literatury je 138 866 znaků. Klíčová slova: freetekno, politizace, dočasná autonomní zóna, DAZ, neo-kmen, neotribalismus, CzechTek, subkultura, post-subkultury ANNOTATION The presented work focuses on the politicization of the freetekno subculture in the Czech Republic. The politicization is perceived in two dimensions. The first dimension is the explicit politicization, which could be represented as the active political participation.

  • Is It Just the Music? Towards an Understanding of Festival-Goers and Their Experience at UK Music Festivals
    Is it just the Music? Towards an Understanding of Festival-goers and their Experience at UK Music Festivals by Alyssa Eve Brown PGCert, BA (Hons), FHEA A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment for the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Central Lancashire April 2019 i STUDENT DECLARATION FORM Concurrent registration for two or more academic awards I declare that while registered for the research degree, I was with the University’s specific permission, an enrolled student for the following awards: Post Graduate Certificate in Business and Management Research Methods Post Graduate Certificate in Teaching and Learning in Higher Education Material submitted for another award I declare that no material contained in the thesis has been used in any other submission for an academic award and is solely my own work Signature of Candidate ______________________________________________________ Type of Award PhD__________________________________________________ School Lancashire School of Business and Enterprise ii Abstract Festivals are an adventure of the emotional and physical senses and can create unforgettable, exciting and thrilling memories of unfamiliar and unique experiences. With music festivals in particular, there is an additional emphasis on the chance to experience live music by often idolised musicians within a temporary community of shared musical interests. However, whilst a music festival may attract visitors through advertising an attractive and appealing line-up of popular acts, this far from guarantees a happy customer. There are many other elements that contribute to and impact upon the experience of the festival-goer (Morgan, 2008: 83). If these elements are managed well, this can result in benefits for both the consumer, through positive emotional and cognitive experiences, and for the organisation through repeat custom, recommendations and increased sales.

    ANNUAL REPORT SEP 2019 - OCT 2020 INDEX INTRODUCTION INDEX OF EVENTS COMPLETED EVENTS DETAIL COMPLETED LIVE STREAM DETAIL COVID AFFECTED EVENTS DETAIL INDEX OF UPCOMING EVENTS NON PROFIT CULTURAL PARTNERS MAINTENANCE AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS REPORT FINANCIAL REPORT MARKETING REPORT COVID HANDBOOK To City Manager Jimmy Morales, The 19/20 season can be viewed as two distinct segments. The first six months represent major improvements and growth, followed by the sudden public closure and responses to the Covid health crisis. The year began with the renewal of the Rhythm Foundation’s management agreement. Experience and momentum gathered during the first management term were brought to bear and a season of widely diverse cultural offerings was undertaken. Long awaited capital improvements of the canopy covering and new seating system were completed in February. The season was in the middle of the busiest period in mid March when we closed the facility to the public in mid March due to the Covid health crisis. We immediately modified and adapted our operations using live streaming technologies to complete the Rhythm Foundations’s 32nd season. Emergency funding and support from the City, County and Federal government have been critical to sustaining the organization through this prolonged health crisis. We proactively engaged with community partners to identify funding, tech support and best practices for safe operations. Since going virtual in mid-March, we’ve broadcast sixteen (16) full length concerts as live streams to a collective audience of over 100,000 viewers from all over the world. The 20/21 season ahead is anchored by partnerships with the leading cultural presenting organizations in the South Florida, furthering our goal of establishing the North Beach Bandshell as a major performing arts facility in our region.

  • Mixed Messages: Resistance and Reappropriation in Rave Culture
    Western Journal of Communication, 67(3) (Summer 2003), 249-270 Mixed Messages: Resistance and Reappropriation in Rave Culture Brian L. Ott Department of Speech Communication, 204 Eddy Building, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, CO 80523-1783. Office: (970) 491-7164. Email: Brian.Ott®Colostate.edu Bill D. Hennan Department of Speech Communication, 232 Eddy Building, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, CO 80523-1783. Office: (970) 491-3852. Email: [email protected] This cssay concerns the dynamic tcnsion betwecn resistance and rcappropriation in the youth subcultural practice of raving. We argue that the transgressive potcntial of underground rave culture lies primarily in its privileging of communion, which is facilitated along the intersecting axes of social space, authorship, the body, and the drug Ecstasy. The commodification of rave culture is demonstrated to be linked to a shifting consciousness reflected in changing attitudes toward Ecstasy, the relocation of dance culture into clubs, and the redefinition of the DJ as artist and superstar. A concluding section considers the implications of resistance and reappropriation in rave culture for social change and the exercisc of power. Back in the days before America was online, computer gceks who liked techno music began hosting secret rave parties in San Francisco. Revelers followed treasure hunts, whispering passwords to strangcrs on strect corners until a rave emerged in somebody else's warehouse or field. The drug ecstasy was passcd around like Tic Tacs, and the music played until the cops showed up. Now, a gcneration later, underground raves have gone pop. Last weekend at 3Com Park, nearly 29,000 peaceful ravers queued up in broad daylight, $40 tickets in hand, for the largest, cleanest rave San Francisco has ever seen.

    Rogue Two Reflections on the Creative and Technological Development of the Audiovisual Duo—The Rebel Scum Feature Article Ryan Ross Smith and Shawn Lawson Monash University (Australia) / Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (US) Abstract This paper examines the development of the audiovisual duo Obi-Wan Codenobi and The Wookie (authors Shawn Lawson and Ryan Ross Smith respectively). The authors trace a now four-year trajectory of technological and artistic development, while highlighting the impact that a more recent physical displacement has had on the creative and collaborative aspects of the project. We seek to reflect upon the creative and technological journey through our collaboration, including Lawson’s development of The Force, an OpenGL shader-based live-coding environment for generative visuals, while illuminating our experiences with, and takeaways from, live coding in practice and performance, EDM in general and algorave culture specifically. Keywords: live coding; collaboration; EDM; audiovisual; Star Wars Ryan Ross Smith is a composer, performer and educator based in Melbourne, Australia. Smith has performed and had his music performed in North America, Iceland, Denmark, Australia and the UK, and has presented his work and research at conferences including NIME, ISEA, ICLI, ICLC, SMF and TENOR. Smith is also known for his work with Animated Notation, and his Ph.D. research website is archived at animatednotation.com.

ABSTRACT The purpose of this thesis is to determine what factors may have contributed to the poor performance of festival markets. To understand the possible pitfalls of this redevelopment tool, we examined Richmond's 6th Street Marketplace, the first festival market to experience so dismal a performance that the city asked developer James Rouse to leave as equity partner and manager. The Richmond experience evidenced that strong local leadership was sufficient to build and finance the marketplace but not enough to sustain it. Festival markets were still untested at the time 6th Street was planned.
