Low- cost access to a car was a major priority. “When I had my first son, like—I was very depressed for two years, and I had no clue. I think that held me back a lot… I didn’t have confidence that if I even went out to a training program, that I would get the job if I interviewed, or would they pay me what I was worth, or could I even do it? Could I pass the training? I think mental stability holds you back from a lot of things.” Women felt that mental health issues seem impossible to cope with in the face of immediate physical needs, like putting food on the table or clothes on your children’s backs—but they could “I’m helpin’ this person, I’m helpin’ also prevent them from being able to do just that.

Women experiencing economic instability named transportation as a serious barrier to finding and maintaining stable employment. “There was a time when I lived out in Symmes Township and I didn’t have a car and I worked downtown, so I would have to take the bus at like 5:00 in the morning to get downtown to get to my job and take my daughter to school, so I was taking, like, three or four buses just before 8AM just to get my daughter to school, and if I miss one bus… the whole day… is ruined.” –Rashida 9 “I think that the system, and the ways that you gain the help, are also the ways that you end up being removed from that help.” –Jasmine Exploring the Impact of the Cliff Effect The Impact of the Cliff Effect Exploring the Impacts of the Cliff Effect up to $15, I still would have qualified for child care with JFS, YWCA… I couldn’t take the job.

  • Subjectivity in American Popular Metal: Contemporary Gothic, the Body, the Grotesque, and the Child
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Glasgow Theses Service Subjectivity In American Popular Metal: Contemporary Gothic, The Body, The Grotesque, and The Child. Sara Ann Thomas MA (Hons) Submitted in fulfilment for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Arts University of Glasgow January 2009 © Sara Thomas 2009 Abstract This thesis examines the subject in Popular American Metal music and culture during the period 1994-2004, concentrating on key artists of the period: Korn, Slipknot, Marilyn Manson, Nine Inch Nails, Tura Satana and My Ruin. Starting from the premise that the subject is consistently portrayed as being at a time of crisis, the thesis draws on textual analysis as an under appreciated approach to popular music, supplemented by theories of stardom in order to examine subjectivity. The study is situated in the context of the growing area of the contemporary gothic, and produces a model of subjectivity specific to this period: the contemporary gothic subject. This model is then used throughout to explore recurrent themes and richly symbolic elements of the music and culture: the body, pain and violence, the grotesque and the monstrous, and the figure of the child, representing a usage of the contemporary gothic that has not previously been attempted. Attention is also paid throughout to the specific late capitalist American cultural context in which the work of these artists is situated, and gives attention to the contradictions inherent in a musical form which is couched in commodity culture but which is highly invested in notions of the ‘Alternative’. In the first chapter I propose the model of the contemporary gothic subject for application to the work of Popular Metal artists of the period, drawing on established theories of the contemporary gothic and Michel Foucault’s theory of confession.

  • Korn All Albums Download Korn – Discography (1994 – 2014) UPDATE
    korn all albums download Korn – Discography (1994 – 2014) UPDATE. Korn – Discography (1994 – 2014) EAC Rip | 19xCD + 4xDVD | FLAC Image & Tracks + Cue + Log | Full Scans included Total Size: 11.2 GB | 3% RAR Recovery STUDIO ALBUMS | LIVE ALBUMS | COMPILATION | EP Label: Various | Genre: Alternative Rock, Nu Metal. Korn’s cathartic alternative metal sound positioned the group among the most popular and provocative to emerge during the post-grunge era. Korn began their existence as the Bakersfield, California-based metal band LAPD, which included guitarists James “Munky” Shaffer and Brian “Head” Welch, bassist Reginald “Fieldy Snuts” Arvizu, and drummer David Silveria. After issuing an LP in 1993, the members of LAPD crossed paths with Jonathan Davis, a mortuary science student moonlighting as the lead vocalist for the local group Sexart. They soon asked Davis to join the band, and upon his arrival the quintet rechristened itself Korn. After signing to Epic’s Immortal imprint, they issued their debut album in late 1994; thanks to a relentless tour schedule that included stints opening for Ozzy Osbourne, Megadeth, Marilyn Manson, and 311, the record slowly but steadily rose in the charts, eventually going gold. Its 1996 follow- up, Life Is Peachy, was a more immediate smash, reaching the number three spot on the pop album charts. The following summer, they headlined Lollapalooza, but were forced to drop off the tour when Shaffer was diagnosed with viral meningitis. While recording their best-selling 1998 LP Follow the Leader, Korn made national headlines when a student in Zeeland, Michigan, was suspended for wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with the group’s logo (the school’s principal later declared their music “indecent, vulgar, and obscene,” prompting the band to issue a cease-and-desist order).

Nationalism is good in its place, but it is an unreliablev friend and vanvunsafe vhistorian. (Jawaharlal Nehru, 14 December 1932).1 In the aftermath of the pogrom against the Sikhs in Delhi (1984), in which 2500 people perished in a few days, reports filled the capital of the assail- ants and their motives. It was clear from the very first that this was no disorganized ‘riot’ and that the organized violence visited upon Sikhs was engineered by the Congress (I) to avenge the assassination of Indira Gandhi. Of the assailants, we only heard rumours, that they came from the outskirts of the city, from those ‘urban villages’ inhabited by Jats and Gujjars as well as dalits (untouchables) resettled there during the Na- tional Emergency (1975–7).
