VORWORT Die Uhr schlägt – alle. Der Redaktionsschluss ist nun eine Woche her, die letzten Artikeln fürs Kapuzine sind eingetrudelt, das Veranstaltungsprogramm und Inhalte der Kapu erneut in Worte gefasst und die Layouterinnen warten bis zuletzt wieder einmal auf die... „einleitenden Worte“. Nun ja, und so verfasse ich mein letztes Vorwort fürs KAPUzine mit dem Wissen, dass ich Ende des Monats meine 5jährige Tätigkeit als Ge- schäftsführer der KAPU beende. Mir steht dabei ein Lächeln ins Gesicht, denn ich kann tatsächlich zu einem Zeitpunkt aufhören, wo kein Zweifel daran besteht, dass es mit der Kapu gut weitergehen wird. Vielerlei Veränderungen, inhaltliche und strukturelle, haben dieses Haus und den 20jährigen Verein stets spannend bleiben lassen und vor dem Schicksal der Langeweile und Bedeutungslosigkeit bewahrt. Dahinter standen immer viele Personen und eine wechselnde „Betriebsgruppe“, deren leidenschaftliche Auseinandersetzung mit „unserer“ Kultur die KAPU profilierte. Als ich als kleiner Teenager 1996 begonnen habe, hier aktiv mitzuar- beiten, wusste ich noch nicht, wie sehr mich die Kultur in diesem Haus prägen und bereichern sollte.

  • Politics As Unusual: Washington, D.C
    Abstract Title of Dissertation: POLITICS AS UNUSUAL: WASHINGTON, D.C. HARDCORE PUNK 1979-1983 AND THE POLITICS OF SOUND Shayna L Maskell, Doctor of Philosophy, 2014 Dissertation directed by: Dr. Nancy Struna, Chair, Department of American Studies During the creative and influential years between 1979 and 1983, hardcore punk was not only born — a mutated sonic stepchild of rock n’ roll, British and American punk — but also evolved into a uncompromising and resounding paradigm of and for DC youth. Through the revelatory music of DC hardcore bands like Bad Brains, Teen Idles, Minor Threat, State of Alert, Government Issue and Faith a new formulation of sound, and a new articulation of youth, arose: one that was angry, loud, fast, and minimalistic. With a total of only ten albums between all five bands in a mere five years, DC hardcore cemented a small yet significant subculture and scene. This project considers two major components of this music: aesthetics and the social politics that stem from those aesthetics. By examining the way music communicates — facets like timbre, melody, rhythm, pitch, volume and dissonance — while simultaneously incorporating an analysis of hardcore’s social context — including the history of music’s cultural canons, as well as the specific socioeconomic, racial and gendered milieu in which music is generated, communicated and responded to —this dissertation attempts to understand how hardcore punk conveys messages of social and cultural politics, expressly representations of race, class and gender. In doing so, this project looks at how DC hardcore (re)contextualizes and (re)imagines the social and political meanings created by and from sound.
