  • Bad Alchemy 45 I
    BAD ALCHEMY 45 I. Andante un poco mosso - attacca 1 1984 2004 2 Ein Labelporträt von Michael Zinsmaier Eines Tages, so die Anekdote, betraten zwei gestylte Jugendliche den sagenumwobenen WAVE-Plat- tenladen in der Rue De Soeurs Macaron in Nancy um vielleicht in den Regalen nach dem neuesten Schmus zu suchen. Im Geschäft lief gerade die CD einer japanischen Noise-Band und die Disharmonien veranlassten einen der Beiden zu der Bemerkung, was das denn für eine Scheiße sei. Woraufhin der La- deninhaber ohne mit der Wimper zu zucken und ohne ein Wort zu verlieren die Lautstärke bis zur Uner- träglichkeit hochdrehte bis die Beiden die Flucht ergriffen. Dies sagt Einiges aus über Konsequenz und Philosophie von DSA. Der Ladeninhaber war Gérard Nguyen, 1951 als Sohn eines vietnamesischen Vaters und einer deut- schen Mutter geboren, in der von Rokoko-Prunk und Industrie gleichermaßen geprägten lothringschen 100 000-Einwohner-Stadt Nancy aufgewachsen und schon früh vom Morbus Musica Experimentalis befallen. Naturgemäß wenig linientreu zu den stilprägenden US-amerikanischen und britischen unabhängigen Labels wie Ralph Records, Rough Trade oder Recommended Records, versuchten die franko- phonen Vertreter der Free Musik und des Punks Anfang der 80er Jahre andere Wege zu gehen. Illusion Prod., Nato, AYAA oder das Kassetten-Label Tago Mago versprachen bezüglich Design und Grad an Strangeness weitere Verheißungen (aufgrund der Kunst- und Philosophiereferenzen gar eine Be- wusstseinserweiterung?) Vor zwanzig Jahren gegründet ist Gérard Nguyens Label (1988 kam der Laden in Nancy, 1998 der in Paris hinzu) heute allerdings eine der wenigen noch existierenden Firmen aus dieser Zeit mit Avantgar- de-Ausrichtung. Der Labelkatalog selbst liest sich heutzutage einerseits wie ein Kompendium der alter- nativen Avantgardeströmungen der letzten 30 Jahre, aber auch wie ein der Qualitätskontrolle verpflich- teter Gradmesser aktueller Tendenzen.

A. McFadzean UNIVERSITY OF REGINA FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES AND RESEARCH SUPERVISORY AND EXAMINING COMMITTEE Credence Andrew McFadzean, candidate for the degree of Master of Arts in Creative Writing and English, has presented a thesis titled, Cooling Bodies Stories, in an oral examination held on December 7, 2016. The following committee members have found the thesis acceptable in form and content, and that the candidate demonstrated satisfactory knowledge of the subject material. External Examiner: *Prof. Daniel Tysdal, University of Toronto Scarborough Supervisor: Dr. Michael Trussler, Department of English Committee Member: Dr. Christian Riegel, Department of English Committee Member: Dr. Garry Sherbert, Department of English Chair of Defense: Dr. Christine Ramsay, Department of Film *Via Skype ABSTRACT Cooling Bodies is a collection of six short stories that explore contemporary technology, Internet culture, and social media through various subjective positions ranging in age, gender identity, sexual orientation, and social background. Cooling Bodies employs classic short story theorists, sociological and philosophical theorists, and the inspiration of prominent authors in the genre, as a means of situating its stories in the broader tradition, as well as reexamining common conventions of this tradition through a contemporary lens. The stories of Cooling Bodies align sociological concerns regarding human alienation with familiar ideas vested in short fiction criticism, exploring digital technology as a common factor that has the potential to simultaneously connect and estrange individuals.
