  • “Grunge Killed Glam Metal” Narrative by Holly Johnson
    The Interplay of Authority, Masculinity, and Signification in the “Grunge Killed Glam Metal” Narrative by Holly Johnson A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Music and Culture Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2014, Holly Johnson ii Abstract This thesis will deconstruct the "grunge killed '80s metal” narrative, to reveal the idealization by certain critics and musicians of that which is deemed to be authentic, honest, and natural subculture. The central theme is an analysis of the conflicting masculinities of glam metal and grunge music, and how these gender roles are developed and reproduced. I will also demonstrate how, although the idealized authentic subculture is positioned in opposition to the mainstream, it does not in actuality exist outside of the system of commercialism. The problematic nature of this idealization will be examined with regard to the layers of complexity involved in popular rock music genre evolution, involving the inevitable progression from a subculture to the mainstream that occurred with both glam metal and grunge. I will illustrate the ways in which the process of signification functions within rock music to construct masculinities and within subcultures to negotiate authenticity. iii Acknowledgements I would like to thank firstly my academic advisor Dr. William Echard for his continued patience with me during the thesis writing process and for his invaluable guidance. I also would like to send a big thank you to Dr. James Deaville, the head of Music and Culture program, who has given me much assistance along the way.

  • Public Health Management at Outdoor Music Festivals"
    PUBLIC HEALTH MANAGEMENT AT OUTDOOR MUSIC FESTIVALS CAMERON EARL Ass Dip Health Surveying; Masters in Community and Environmental Health Graduate Certificate in Health Science Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Health Science, School of Public Health Faculty of Health Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane January 2006 2 Thesis Abstract Background Information: Outdoor music festivals (OMFs) are complex events to organise with many exceeding the population of a small city. Minimising public health impacts at these events is important with improved event planning and management seen as the best method to achieve this. Key players in improving public health outcomes include the environmental health practitioners (EHPs) working within local government authorities (LGAs) that regulate OMFs and volunteer organisations with an investment in volunteer staff working at events. In order to have a positive impact there is a need for more evidence and to date there has been limited research undertaken in this area. The research aim: The aim of this research program was to enhance event planning and management at OMFs and add to the body of knowledge on volunteers, crowd safety and quality event planning for OMFs. This aim was formulated by the following objectives. 1. To investigate the capacity of volunteers working at OMFs to successfully contribute to public health and emergency management; 2. To identify the key factors that can be used to improve public health management at OMFs; and 3. To identify priority concerns and influential factors that are most likely to have an impact on crowd behaviour and safety for patrons attending OMFs.

    From Citizens to Consumers: The Countercultural Roots of Green Consumerism A thesis presented to the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts Philip A. Wight August 2013 ©2013 Philip A. Wight. All Rights Reserved. 2 This thesis titled From Citizens to Consumers: The Countercultural Roots of Green Consumerism by PHILIP A. WIGHT has been approved for the Department of History and the College of Arts and Sciences by Kevin Mattson Connor Study Professor of Contemporary History Robert Frank Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT WIGHT, PHILIP A., M.A. August 2013, History From Citizens to Consumers: The Countercultural Roots of Green Consumerism Director of thesis: Kevin Mattson When did American environmentalism shift from a focus on collective political action to an obsession with personal lifestyles? This thesis investigates three distinct bodies of environmental thought spanning the 1950s and the mid-1970s to answer this question. The three eco-political philosophies studied here are liberal, eco-socialist, and countercultural environmentalism. The heart of this thesis is the debate among key environmental thinkers—John Kenneth Galbraith, Stewart Brand, and Barry Commoner—concerning the role of individual consumers and the importance of public policy. This debate can be viewed as supply-side (producers) versus demand-side (consumers) environmentalism. This thesis argues America’s modern paradigm of libertarian, demand-side environmentalism and green consumerism stems from specific values, ideas, lifestyles, and worldviews representative of American counterculture of the 1960s and 1970s. In championing individual consumer choice, contemporary environmentalism has largely rejected liberal and eco-socialist prescriptions of collective political action and social democratic governance.

  • Ritual Process and the Imaginary World at Music Festivals
    Ars Educandi 12/2015 ISSN 2083-0947 / ISSN (ONLINE) 2657-6058 DOI: 10.26881/ae.2015.12.10 Tomasz Lesicki Medical University of Gdansk Ritual process and the imaginary world at music festivals Introduction Przystanek Woodstock and Heineken Open’er Festival are currently the most popular music events in Poland, attracting thousands of participants. For a few days, festival camping towns are put up in the separated suburban areas of the cities, which host the events, presenting a field for sociological analysis. The festi- vals, due to their length, specific ambience and number of participants, are not “or- dinary” weekend events organized in city centres. The purpose of the presented study is to explain their nature in the perspective of selected theories. Theory The rite of passage concept During a ritual process an individual passes from the sphere of the profane (profanum) to the sphere of the sacred (sacrum). The changes that participants un- dergo make them gain new cultural competence. This process was the subject of an in-depth analysis by Arnold van Gennep (2004), an anthropologist who ad- vocated the theory that societies can be divided into secular and religious ones, and that the reality of these societies will be respectively domains of t h e p r o - f a n e and t h e s a c r e d. According to the researcher, the transformation of a ne- ophyte – participant of the rite, the moment of granting him a new status – is best manifested in the rite of initiation. The rite of passage – as it is also referred to – can be divided into three phases: preliminal, liminal, and post-liminal (from the word limen – threshold).

  • Sacred Metalcore: a Worship, Culture, & Missiology Study of the Christian Metal Scene
    Sacred Metalcore: A worship, culture, & missiology study of the Christian metal scene by Paul T. Lattimer A capstone project submitted in partial fulfillment of graduating from the Academic Honors Program at Ashland University December 2012 Faculty Mentor: Dr. Craig Hovey, Assistant Professor of Religion Additional Reader: Dr. Sue Dickson, Assistant Professor of Religion Lattimer i ©2012 Paul Lattimer All Rights Reserved Lattimer ii Abstract My argument is that the Christian faith can be legitimately enacted within the subculture context of the modern metal music scene. Specifically, I survey important pieces of literature about both the secular and the sacred versions of the metal scene and examine how the Christian faith is put into practice within the scene in terms of worship style and evangelistic tactics. Some object that the metal scene is not fit for Christian practice because of its historical linkage with devil worship, explicit sexual references, profane language, rebellious attitude, violence, and church burnings, but I argue that the redemptive power of Christ and the Godhead is powerful enough to redeem a broken music scene and transform it into a new creation that can bring honor, glory, and praise to the one true God. In addition to surveying the scene and arguing for the legitimacy of it, I also discuss the pros and cons that accompany the translation of the Christian faith into a different cultural context. In the end, I determine that, while the Christian metal scene is not your traditional, Sunday morning church service, the scene is a legitimate form of Christian expression that must be carried out with care and caution because of the gravity and responsibility that accompanies bringing the gospel into a new realm.

    Published by Write Good Books The Old School, Cliff Lane, Mappleton, East Riding of Yorkshire HU18 1XX Tel: 01964 536663 E-mail: [email protected] ISBN: 978-1-905295-08-1 Copyright © Leo Vine-Knight 2008 All rights reserved. No part of this work may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system, or transmitted in any form or by any means electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording or otherwise, without the prior permission of the copyright holder. 2 Author’s Note Although this book is based on the author’s experiences as a psychiatric nurse, it is a fictional account. The characters and situations which appear in the work are synthesised from a large number of observations made during a twelve year clinical career. The author makes no attempt to factually report the actions of any particular person (living or dead), or to factually represent the structure and processes of any particular mental health unit. Similarity is therefore co-incidental. The author acknowledges that the challenging assertions made in this book are based on his personal views and subjective experience, rather than the objective truth. He recognises that the background events which inspired this novel, as well as the fictional world created, may not be typical of mental health units around the U.K. He also acknowledges the serious nature of mental disorder itself, and accepts that satire may be considered a strange form of analysis. But for those who have worked through the tragedies and comedies of a psychiatric setting, the choice may be easier to understand. They will have learnt that people often overlook significant issues until they are uncomfortably amplified.
