Conta-se que numa aldeia hassídica alguns judeus estavam sentados numa pobre estalagem, ao fim de um sabat. Eram todos residentes do lugar, menos um desconhecido, de aspecto miserável, esfarrapado, acocorado num canto escuro, ao fundo. Conversava-se aqui e ali. Num certo momento, alguém inventou de perguntar o que cada um desejaria, se tivesse liberdade de fazer um único desejo. Um queria dinheiro, outro um genro, um terceiro queria uma nova banca de carpinteiro, e assim por diante. Depois que todos falaram, restava apenas o mendigo, em seu canto escuro. Contrariado e hesitante, ele cedeu às perguntas, com alguma relutância: “Gostaria de ser um rei poderoso, governando um vasto país, e que uma noite, ao dormir em meu palácio, um exército inimigo invadisse o meu reino, e que antes do nascer do dia os cavaleiros tivessem entrado em meu castelo, sem encontrar resistência, e que acordando assustado eu não tivesse tempo de me vestir, e com uma simples camisa no corpo eu fosse obrigado a fugir, perseguido sem parar, dia e noite, por montes, vales e florestas, até chegar a este banco, neste canto, são e salvo. É este o meu desejo”. Os outros se entreolharam, sem nada entender. “E o que você ganharia com esse desejo?”, perguntou um deles. “Uma camisa”, foi a resposta. Walter Benjamin RESUMO Esta dissertação tem como objetivo investigar a possível presença de referências da educação libertária na produção intelectual do movimento Punk brasileiro em seu início. Tal desconfiança se originou nos assuntos discutidos por eles nas letras de suas músicas e nos textos e matérias dos fanzines. Nosso trabalho revê o caráter socializante e educativo contido em suas pautas e conteúdos, além de seu teor crítico e político, o que diferencia esse movimento como, para além da música, um movimento social surgido das camadas mais pobres da população. O trabalho também revisa a presença do tema anarquia de forma constante nos fanzines punks, quase como marca de autenticidade. Dialogamos com referências teóricas que amparam nossa análise a partir das fontes selecionadas, iniciando a pesquisa a partir do surgimento do Punk na área mais pobre de Nova York na década de 1970. O trabalho revisa o estilo de vida e valores de seus agentes com comportamento peculiar e diferenciado, e as implicações que isso significou na indústria cultural e na sociedade conservadora da época. De Nova York partimos em nossa historiografia para o movimento Punk em Londres e no Brasil, quando contrastamos o movimento com a realidade social e política de nosso recorte temporal, enfocando as atividades independentes dos jovens que realizavam seus projetos em sistema de autogestão, em um momento econômico e estrutural delicado. Como era a educação desses jovens no período pesquisado? De que forma reagiam às lacunas e pendências da educação formal e como transformaram isso em uma produção intelectual autônoma dentro de um movimento independente de música e arte? Posteriormente, vemos as origens e algumas características da educação libertária no exterior e no Brasil para discutirmos os traços anarquistas em São Paulo e as relações dos jovens punks com o movimento anarquista. Em nossas considerações finais, analisamos perspectivas que se relacionam e dialogam de forma consistente, verificando se existe ou não um padrão que efetivamente ligue a educação libertária à produção intelectual do Punk no Brasil. Palavras Chave: Movimento Punk. Educação Libertária. Estranhos e Diferentes. Fanzines Punks. ABSTRACT This dissertation aims to investigate the possible presence of references of libertarian education in the intellectual production of the Brazilian Punk movement in its beginning. This distrust originated in the subjects discussed by them in the lyrics of their songs and in the texts and material of the fanzines. Our work reviews the socializing and educational character contained in its guidelines and contents, as well as its critical and political content, which differentiates this movement as, in addition to music, a social movement that emerges from the poorest sections of the population. The work also revises the presence of the anarchy theme constantly in fanzines punks, almost as a mark of authenticity. We deal with theoretical references that support our analysis from the selected sources, beginning the survey from the emergence of Punk in the poorest area of New York in the 1970s. The work revises the lifestyle and values of its agents with peculiar behavior and differentiation, and the implications that this has had on the cultural industry and the conservative society of the time. From New York we started our historiography for the Punk movement in London and Brazil, when we contrasted the movement with the social and political reality of our temporal cut, focusing on the independent activities of the young people who carried out their projects in a self-management system, in a moment economic and structural. How was the education of these young people during the period studied? How did they respond to the gaps and pitfalls of formal education and how did they transform it into an autonomous intellectual production within an independent movement of music and art? Later, we see the origins and some characteristics of libertarian education abroad and in Brazil to discuss the anarchist traits in São Paulo and the relations of the young punks with the anarchist movement. In our final remarks, we will

  • Dark Webs Goth Subcultures in Cyberspace
    Dark Webs Goth Subcultures in Cyberspace Jason Whittaker University College Falmouth The rapport between Goth subcultures and new technologies has often been a subject of fascination for those who are both part of that subculture and external observers. William Gibson, who provided much of the impetus for such intersec- tions via his contributions to cyberpunk, made the connection between technol- ogy and Gothic rather embarrassingly explicit in his 1986 novel, Count Zero. Less mortifying was the crossover that occurred in the late eighties and nineties between Goth and Industrial music, particularly via bands such as Nine Inch Nails or Frontline Assembly, exploiting a hardcore techno sound combined with a strongly Goth-influenced aesthetic.1 This connection between the Gothic and technoculture has contributed to the survival of a social grouping that Nick Mercer, in 21st Century Goth (2002), refers to as the most vibrant community online, and is also the subject of several studies by Paul Hodkinson in particular. This paper is not especially concerned with the Gothic per se, whether it can tell us something about the intrinsic nature of the web or vice versa, but more with the practice of a youth subculture that does indeed appear to be flourishing in cyberspace, particularly the phe- nomenon of net.Goths that has emerged in recent years. Claims that sites and newsgroups form virtual communities are, of course, not specific to Goths. With the emergence of the Internet into popular consciousness in the early to mid- nineteen-nineties following the invention of the World Wide Web, commenta- tors such as Howard Rheingold in The Virtual Community (1995) made grand claims for the potential of online or virtual communities.

    A more unusual focus in your magazine this College St Anne’s year: architecture and the engineering skills that make our modern buildings possible.

  • ADAM and the ANTS Adam and the Ants Were Formed in 1977 in London, England
    ADAM AND THE ANTS Adam and the Ants were formed in 1977 in London, England. They existed in two incarnations. One of which lasted from 1977 until 1982 known as The Ants. This was considered their Punk era. The second incarnation known as Adam and the Ants also featured Adam Ant on vocals, but the rest of the band changed quite frequently. This would mark their shift to new wave/post-punk. They would release ten studio albums and twenty-five singles. Their hits include Stand and Deliver, Antmusic, Antrap, Prince Charming, and Kings of the Wild Frontier. A large part of their identity was the uniform Adam Ant wore on stage that consisted of blue and gold material as well as his sophisticated and dramatic stage presence. Click the band name above. ECHO AND THE BUNNYMEN Formed in Liverpool, England in 1978 post-punk/new wave band Echo and the Bunnymen consisted of Ian McCulloch (vocals, guitar), Will Sergeant (guitar), Les Pattinson (bass), and Pete de Freitas (drums). They produced thirteen studio albums and thirty singles. Their debut album Crocodiles would make it to the top twenty list in the UK. Some of their hits include Killing Moon, Bring on the Dancing Horses, The Cutter, Rescue, Back of Love, and Lips Like Sugar. A very large part of their identity was silohuettes. Their music videos and album covers often included silohuettes of the band. They also have somewhat dark undertones to their music that are conveyed through the design. Click the band name above. THE CLASH Formed in London, England in 1976, The Clash were a punk rock group consisting of Joe Strummer (vocals, guitar), Mick Jones (vocals, guitar), Paul Simonon (bass), and Topper Headon (drums).

  • Glam Rock by Barney Hoskyns 1
    Glam Rock By Barney Hoskyns There's a new sensation A fabulous creation, A danceable solution To teenage revolution Roxy Music, 1973 1: All the Young Dudes: Dawn of the Teenage Rampage Glamour – a word first used in the 18th Century as a Scottish term connoting "magic" or "enchantment" – has always been a part of pop music. With his mascara and gold suits, Elvis Presley was pure glam. So was Little Richard, with his pencil moustache and towering pompadour hairstyle. The Rolling Stones of the mid-to- late Sixties, swathed in scarves and furs, were unquestionably glam; the group even dressed in drag to push their 1966 single "Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby, Standing in the Shadow?" But it wasn't until 1971 that "glam" as a term became the buzzword for a new teenage subculture that was reacting to the messianic, we-can-change-the-world rhetoric of late Sixties rock. When T. Rex's Marc Bolan sprinkled glitter under his eyes for a TV taping of the group’s "Hot Love," it signaled a revolt into provocative style, an implicit rejection of the music to which stoned older siblings had swayed during the previous decade. "My brother’s back at home with his Beatles and his Stones," Mott the Hoople's Ian Hunter drawled on the anthemic David Bowie song "All the Young Dudes," "we never got it off on that revolution stuff..." As such, glam was a manifestation of pop's cyclical nature, its hedonism and surface show-business fizz offering a pointed contrast to the sometimes po-faced earnestness of the Woodstock era.

    The deadly affairs of John Figaro Newton or a senseless appeal to reason and an elegy for the dreaming Item Type Thesis Authors Campbell, Regan Download date 26/09/2021 19:18:08 Link to Item http://hdl.handle.net/11122/11260 THE DEADLY AFFAIRS OF JOHN FIGARO NEWTON OR A SENSELESS APPEAL TO REASON AND AN ELEGY FOR THE DREAMING By Regan Campbell, B.F.A.

Are your memories true? John “Fig” Newton thinks much the same as you do. But in three separate episodes of his life, he comes to see things are a little more strange and less straightforward than everyone around him has been inured to the point of pretending they are; maybe it's all some kind of bizarre form of torture for someone with the misfortune of assuming they embody a real and actual person. Whatever the case, Fig is sure he can't trust that truth exists, and over the course of his many doomed relationships and professional foibles, he continually strives to find another like him—someone incandescent with rage, and preferably, as insane and beautiful as he. i Extracts “Whose blood do you still thirst for? But sacred philosophy will shackle your success, for whatsoever may be your momentary triumph or the disorder of this anarchy, you will never govern enlightened men.

Magister Ludi: Dr C First, the good news. The “Exxile on Euphoria” tour takes in 18 dates in 7 countries, and an increasing number of “sold out” Acting Editor: signs appearing on the schedule confirms The Sisters’ Chris Sampson continuing appeal as a live act. Moreover, the tour celebrates the twentieth anniversary of the band’s live debut in York. This Writers: is a remarkable achievement in an industry noted for short Sarah Froggatt lifespans and high turnover. In this issue you can find our George Carless ruminations on the meaning of a 20 th anniversary tour and some Chris Sampson reminiscences of our times as Sisters fans. Additional Material: Unfortunately, there is no avoiding the fact that since the last Ted Hughes issue the long-awaited new album has been conspicuous by its Gabriel Garcia Marquez absence. Recent interviews have seen Eldritch finally admitting Max Frisch that, with the music industry in a god-awful mess, the conditions Hanif Kureshi necessary to ensure a Sisters album gets its rightful exposure Walt Whitman and critical reaction simply do not exist.

  • 2 to Be Somebody: Ambition and the Desire to Be Different
    2 To Be Somebody: Ambition and the Desire to Be Different The context for difference This chapter aims to identify some of the bands that enjoyed chart success during the late 1970s and ’80s and identify their artistic traits by means of conversations with band members and those close to the bands. This chapter does not claim to be a definitive account or an inclusive list of innovative bands but merely a viewpoint from some of the individuals who were present at the time and involved in music, creativity and youth culture. Some of these individuals were in the eye of the storm while others were more on the periphery. However, common themes emerge and testify to the Scouse resilience identified in the previous chapter. Also, identifying objective truth is a difficult task, as one band member will often have a view of his band’s history that conflicts with that of other members of the same band. As such, it is acknowledged that this chapter presents only selective viewpoints. Trying something new: In what ways were the Liverpool bands creative and different? ‘Liverpool has always made me brave, choice-wise. It was never a city that criticized anyone for taking a chance.’ David Morrissey1 In terms of creativity, the theory underpinning this book which was stated in Chapter 1 is that successful Liverpool bands in the 1980s were different from each other and did not attempt to follow the latest local or national pop music trends. None of the bands interviewed falls into the categories of punk, disco or New Romantic, which were popular trends at the time.
