  • Zfwtvol. 9 No. 3 (2017) 269-288
    ZfWT Vol. 9 No. 3 (2017) 269-288 FEMINIST READING OF GOTHIC SUBCULTURE: EMPOWERMENT, LIBERATION, REAPPROPRIATION Mikhail PUSHKIN∗ Abstract: Shifting in and out of public eye ever since its original appearance in the 1980ies, Gothic subculture, music and aesthetics in their impressive variety have become a prominent established element in global media, art and culture. However, understanding of their relation to female gender and expression of femininity remains ambiguous, strongly influenced by stereotypes. Current research critically analyses various distinct types of Gothic subculture from feminist angle, and positively identifies its environment as female-friendly and empowering despite and even with the help of its strongly sexualized aesthetics. Although visually geared towards the male gaze, Gothic subcultural environment enables women to harness, rather than repress the power of attraction generated by such aesthetics. Key words: Subculture, Feminism, Gothic. INTRODUCTION Without a doubt, Gothic subculture is a much-tattered subject, being at the centre of both popular mass media with its gossip, consumerism and commercialization, as well as academia with diverse papers debasing, pigeonholing and even defending the subculture. Furthermore, even within the defined, feminist, angle, a thorough analysis of Gothic subculture would require a volume of doctoral dissertation to give the topic justice. This leaves one in a position of either summarizing and reiterating earlier research (a useful endeavour, however, bringing no fresh insight), or striving for a kind of fresh look made possible by the ever-changing eclectic ambivalent nature of the subculture. Current research takes the middle ground approach: touching upon earlier research only where relevant, providing a very general, yet necessary outlook on the contemporary Gothic subculture in its diversity, so as to elucidate its more relevant elements whilst focusing on the ways in which it empowers women.

  • DP025A - Fasion Design the Brief
    DP025A - Fasion Design The Brief Brief Details For a haute couture house, produce a full colour advertisement poster, sticker set, swing tag etc that promotes a fashion brand. The promo material is to include a female and male figure rendered in an appropriate style, using appropriate colour illustration materials and techniques. The finished package should be thorough, wide ranging and professional. Additional Considerations The primary purpose of the male/female illustration is to drawn people in (fashion) proportion and realistically apply clothing. Typography on the poster should support the fashion range and the tags/stickers should also do this. Paul Yeatman - Student Number 00043916T DP025A - Fasion Design Client Summary Company Overview Givenchy was chosen as a client as their Fall 2012 range featured designs that incorporated a lot of black and reds. Target Market Wearers of Haute Coutier fashion. People who like to wear stylish clothing. The Autumn 2013 ready to wear range has a gothic bent - lots of capes, black jackets and leggings/pants, boots and shirts. A splash of red has been added to selected styles to break up the black and to add additional interest to the designs. Paul Yeatman - Student Number 00043916T DP025A - Fasion Design Mood Board Researching The Competition/Gothic Clothing Vendors Gothic fashion typically falls into two categories. Day to day clothing which includes t shirt and variations on the cargo pant and more styles clothing such as frock coats, jackets, pants and heavy boots. The more fashionable pieces look much better than the main streamed gothic clothing, though they may not be every day wear.

  • Psychobilly Psychosis and the Garage Disease in Athens
    IAFOR Journal of Cultural Studies Volume 5 – Issue 1 – Spring 2020 Psychobilly Psychosis and the Garage Disease in Athens Michael Tsangaris, University of Piraeus, Greece Konstantina Agrafioti, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece Abstract The complexity and the bizarre nature of Psychobilly as a music genre and as a music collectivity make it very convenient for reconsidering several views in relation to subcultures, neo-tribes and scenes. More specifically, the case of Greek Psychobilly can categorically present how subcultural trends can be disseminated across gender, social classes and national borders. This study aims to trace historically the scene of Psychobilly in Athens based on typical ethnographic research and analytic autoethnography. The research question is: Which are the necessary elements that can determine the existence of a local music scene? Supported by semi-structured interviews, the study examines how individuals related to the Psychobilly subculture comprehend what constitutes the Greek Psychobilly scene. Although it can be questionable whether there ever was a Psychobilly scene in Athens, there were always small circles in existence into which people drifted and stayed for quite a while, constituting the pure core of the Greek Psychobilly subculture. Keywords: psychobilly, music genres, Athens, Post-subcultural Theory 31 IAFOR Journal of Cultural Studies Volume 5 – Issue 1 – Spring 2020 Introduction According to the American Countercultures Encyclopaedia, Psychobilly is a subculture that emerged in the 1980s from the unlikely combination of rockabilly and punk rock. The provocative and sometimes outrageous style associated with psychobillies (also known as “psychos”) mixes the blue-collar rawness and rebellion of 1950s rockabilly with the confrontational do-it-yourself style of 1970s punk rock, a syncretism infused with themes from monster and horror films, campy sci-fi movies, and even professional wrestling” (Wojcik, 2013, p.

  • The Evolution of Emo and Its Theoretical Implications 175
    The Evolution of Emo and Its Theoretical Implications 175 Mirosław Aleksander Miernik The Evolution of Emo and Its Theoretical Implications The purpose of this article is to analyze how emo, a youth subculture, evolved in the United States during a period of approximately twenty five years, since the mid-1980s, particularly focusing on how it changed in regard to the zeitgeist of the time period, as well as how it appropriated various elements of past subcultures into itself in order to create its own subcultural identity. Special attention will be paid to the third incarnation, which emerged at the beginning of the twenty-first century and proved to be the most widespread variation of the subculture. It is also interesting how this incarnation was affected by historical events such as the Columbine High School Massacre and 9/11. The theoretical implications of emo are the second issue that this article at- tempts to tackle. In particular, when viewed from the perspective of post-subculture studies, it allows one to revisit certain theories of the Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies at the University of Birmingham (CCCS), which pioneered sub- culture studies in the 1960s and 70s. The relationship between post-subculture studies and the CCCS’s approach has always been very complex. Even though many representatives of post-subculture studies criticized the CCCS for various shortcomings, most significantly for an a priori approach that ignores empirical evidence and limits the concept of authenticity within subcultures (Muggleton 19–30). At the same time, the work of the CCCS has been always treated with respect and considered a milestone.

(Lavoce) is proud to present the first international directory for Goths, tattoo artists, sKateboarders, and others who live alternative lifestyles, or anyone whose clothing is outside the norm. This directory has more categories than any other online Goth directory. This is the most comprehensive directory available because being Goth affects all aspects of life. Our commitment is driven by the need to help Goths, and others who looK outside the norm, to feel safe to be themselves in their day-to-day jobs. This directory is the first and only directory of employers who hire people from alternative lifestyles. It has the potential to connect those who feel alone in this world to established organizations and areas of the world where Goths feel more accepted. It will build sustaining partnerships with existing organizations and revitalize the community by helping new organizations grow. Lavoce will also support Goth jobseeKers to promote job sKills training and worKplace etiquette. If you are seeing this, then you are an employer that seems open to hiring people from alternative lifestyles. I am writing to encourage your company to come forward as an openminded employer. The entries in this directory are gray because they have only been proposed but have not yet been confirmed or paid. I have included your company’s link in the first edition of this directory, but will need further information from you going forward.

  • Atom and His Package Possibly the Smallest Band on the List, Atom & His
    Atom and His Package Possibly the smallest band on the list, Atom & his Package consists of Adam Goren (Atom) and his package (a Yamaha music sequencer) make funny punk songs utilising many of of the package's hundreds of instruments about the metric system, the lead singer of Judas Priest and what Jewish people do on Christmas. Now moved on to other projects, Atom will remain the person who told the world Anarchy Means That I Litter, The Palestinians Are Not the Same Thing as the Rebel Alliance Jackass, and If You Own The Washington Redskins, You're a ****. Ghost Mice With only two members in this folk/punk band their voices and their music can be heard along with such pride. This band is one of the greatest to come out of the scene because of their abrasive acoustic style. The band consists of a male guitarist (I don't know his name) and Hannah who plays the violin. They are successful and very well should be because it's hard to 99 when you have such little to work with. This band is off Plan It X records and they put on a fantastic show. Not only is the band one of the leaders of the new genre called folk/punk but I'm sure there is going to be very big things to come from them and it will always be from the heart. Defiance, Ohio Defiance, Ohio are perhaps one of the most compassionate and energetic leaders of the "folk/punk" movement. Their clever lyrics accompanied by fast, melodic, acoustic guitars make them very enjoyable to listen to.

Perry, A.B. & B.S.Ed., University of Georgia M.A., Appalachian State University Chairperson: Fred J. Hay At the grassroots, Appalachian music encompasses much more than traditional music genres, like old-time and bluegrass. While these prevailing musics continue to inform most popular and scholarly understandings of the region’s musical heritage, many contemporary scholars dismiss such narrow definitions of “Appalachian music” as exclusionary and inaccurate. Many researchers have, thus, sought to broaden current understandings of Appalachia’s diverse contemporary and historical cultural landscape as well as explore connections between Appalachian and other regional, national, and global cultural phenomena. In April 2009, I began participant observation and interviewing in an experimental music scene unfolding in downtown Boone, North Carolina.

  • Newfolk Ndif: the Cybergoth in Science Fiction Culture
    Newfolk NDiF: The Cybergoth in Science Fiction Culture New Directions in Folklore 3 (formerly the Impromptu Journal) May-July 1999 Newfolk :: NDF :: Archive :: Issue 3 :: Page 1 :: Page 2 The Goth Explosion in Science Fiction Culture Camille Bacon-Smith, Ph.D. This is an excerpt from the book Science Fiction Culture, Philadelphia, University of Pennsylvania Press, 2000. When people want to know why I would write a book about science fiction culture (fandom), the first question they usually ask is, "What makes fandom different from any other group?" As if difference was the only criterion for interesting. My answer, by contrast, is, "Nothing makes it different. That is the point." The larger mechanics of mainstream American culture play out in a relatively small, defined setting. So we can let go of the fantasy we used to hold that studying small villages in low- technology settings give us insights into a computer-driven, high speed, population dense techno-culture. We can find groups of ourselves small enough to study right here. And the mechanics of power and status, of change and conflict, will often play themselves out in speeded-up time that we can watch; we can figure out the dynamics in small. And it turns out those observations in small apply well to the larger society. Like the rest of the culture in which it resides, fandom has experience the women's movement and the backlash, and the rise of lesbian and gay self determination. And, in the late eighties and early nineties, fandom experienced the invasion of the goths.
