Doing Gender in European Scouting iii PREFACE This research report was commissioned by the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM). I would like to thank WOSM for entrusting me with this very interesting and challenging research task, in particular the Director and Deputy Director of Youth Programme, Dominique Bénard and Jacqueline Collier, at the World Scout Bureau in Geneva for all their support and cooperation. I would also like to thank the Centre for Women’s Studies and Gender Research at the University of Oslo for providing me with workspace and an inspiring scholarly environment. The project was carried out in collaboration with Scout leaders from different countries. They played an essential role in making this research project a reality, and most of their work in terms of data gathering and organising transcriptions and translations was done on a purely voluntary basis. My warm thanks to Martin Kristensen, Jesper Schaumburg-Muller and Ulla Voelker from Denmark, Fernando Fradique and Lídia da Conceição dos Santos Pedro from Portugal, Yulia Bulanova, Egor Sergeev and Evgeniya Shamis from Russia, and Sona Figedyova and Zuzana Mazancova from Slovakia. I would certainly also like to thank the leaders and young people in the troops studied in Denmark, Portugal, Slovakia and the Russian Federation (Bashkortostan and the Moscow region) for their hospitality and willingness to let their beloved Scout life be an object of study. Several of my research colleagues in - and beyond - Norway took time to read various chapters of the report. This was an invaluable help, especially in terms of understanding the different national cultures. I am gratefully indebted to Ann-Dorte Christensen, Ning De Coninck-Smith, Haldis Haukanes, Alexandra Leontieva and Sverre Varvin. Alexandra Leontieva also helped me find statistics on Russia, and Stein Terje Vikan at UNECE (the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe) in Geneva kindly checked other parts of the statistics. I thank them all! The title of this report refers to "doing gender". Although this may seem to be an unusual expression, it is used consciously and you will soon understand what it means. Oslo, October 1st 2002 Harriet Bjerrum Nielsen One of the Boys? Doing Gender in European Scouting i 1. INTRODUCTION TO THE GENDER PROJECT 1. Different, equal or one of the boys? One misty September morning in the year 1909 a little party of girls might have been seen arraying themselves in khaki shirts and wideawake hats, and setting forth with feverish excitement for the Crystal Palace, where they had heard there was to be a rally of Boy Scouts. The Chief himself was coming to inspect the boys – why should he not cast an eye on the Girls’ Corps, which was prepared to render service in any conceivable emergency, and which surely deserved an approving glance? This depiction of the moment when girls officially entered the Scouting scene is taken from the opening words of Rose Kerr’s book on the story of Girl Guides1. It was said that the founder, Sir Robert Baden-Powell, was taken by surprise when the girls showed up at the rally, but as Laszlo Nagy wrote: ‘the girls stood their ground, and B.P. resigned himself to the inevitable’.2 However, the Founder had known about ‘the girl problem’ before the Crystal Palace rally. In 1908, he wrote about girls and Scouting in several issues of The Scout: I have had several quite pathetic letters from little girls asking me if they may share the delights of a Scouting life with the boys. But of course they may! I am always glad to hear of girls’ patrols being formed.3 Baden-Powell’s initial reaction to the idea of girls as Scouts was, indeed, very modern for his time. He was critical of the contemporary ideal of women as mollycoddled dolls and preferred the ideal of women as men’s partners and comrades. So why should the sporting and outdoor life of Scouting not be as healthy for girls as for boys, and why could they not receive the same training? His Victorian mother talked him out of such an improper idea. She and other contemporary critics made him understand that girls were not boys, and strongly discouraged him from making toughness a central feature of Scouting for girls.4 When the first guidelines for girls were published in the autumn of 1909 (in response to the fact that 6,000 girls had already enrolled as Boy Scouts), the difference between the genders was firmly reinstated.

    PERFORMED IDENTITIES: HEAVY METAL MUSICIANS BETWEEN 1984 AND 1991 Bradley C. Klypchak A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2007 Committee: Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Dr. John Makay Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Ron E. Shields Dr. Don McQuarie © 2007 Bradley C. Klypchak All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Between 1984 and 1991, heavy metal became one of the most publicly popular and commercially successful rock music subgenres. The focus of this dissertation is to explore the following research questions: How did the subculture of heavy metal music between 1984 and 1991 evolve and what meanings can be derived from this ongoing process? How did the contextual circumstances surrounding heavy metal music during this period impact the performative choices exhibited by artists, and from a position of retrospection, what lasting significance does this particular era of heavy metal merit today? A textual analysis of metal- related materials fostered the development of themes relating to the selective choices made and performances enacted by metal artists. These themes were then considered in terms of gender, sexuality, race, and age constructions as well as the ongoing negotiations of the metal artist within multiple performative realms. Occurring at the juncture of art and commerce, heavy metal music is a purposeful construction. Metal musicians made performative choices for serving particular aims, be it fame, wealth, or art. These same individuals worked within a greater system of influence. Metal bands were the contracted employees of record labels whose own corporate aims needed to be recognized.

  • Scout and Guide Stamps Club BULLETIN #335
    Scout and Guide Stamps Club BULLETIN Volume 58 No. 3 (Whole No. 335) See article starting on page 13. MAY / JUNE 2014 1 Editorial Sorry this issue is a bit late but I gave Colin Walker extended time as he is finishing his new book on Scouting in the First World War. Since my last Editorial I have completed my last Gang Show - which went very smoothly from my point of view but I’m afraid there were a lot of complaints to the DC about my going and also the prohibiting of over 25's from appearing on stage, which he has also enforced. They are trying to put together a new team so it will be interesting to see how matters progress. I have missed out the humorous postcards from this issue as I have two interesting, but longer articles, to include. I hope that you like them. As I am typing this I have just finished watching the 70th Anniversary of D-Day events on television and the more that I watch the more that I come to admire the bravery of ordinary people - on both sides of the divide. My own father was a gunner on merchant ships during the later stages of the war (having been on a reserved occupation in the Police for the first few years). His vessel was due to be part of the first wave of the invasion and they duly left the UK loaded up with troops early on the morning of 6th June, 1944. However they only got about half way across the English Channel when the boiler on the ship failed and they then had to limp back to Portsmouth for repairs - and in the process no doubt saving a lot of lives.

  • AMBASSADOR BIO Is All In
    is all in AMBASSADOR BIO is all in KATY PERRY BIOGRAPHY “I can’t run from where I came from, nobody can,” says Katy Perry. When it came time to make her exhilarating second album “Teenage Dream,” Katy found herself increasingly drawn back home to Santa Barbara, Calif. Back to where they knew her before she became a superstar. Before she kissed a girl and liked it. And, certainly, before she sold 5 million copies of her Capitol Records blockbuster, “One of the Boys.” “I love the vibe that Santa Barbara gives off and I wanted to really tap into the purity of my childhood and that feeling,” says the two-time Grammy nominated singer. “It was really fun to get away and walk into the studio with no make-up on.” “Teenage Dream,” out Aug. 24, will move you, both emotionally and physically. “When I was touring, I wanted people to dance more,” Katy says. “So I wrote an album that made people move, yet didn’t sacrifice the story substance that I had on the last record.” The album, whose producers include Max Martin, Tricky Stewart, Stargate, Dr. Luke and Greg Wells, is a glorious evolution from “One of The Boys,” It showcases an artist who dares us to join her as she experiences every facet of life. 17 is all in “I’m giving everyone the full spectrum on this record,” Katy says. “You’re getting the sugary sweet, but you’re also getting the ‘Oh my goodness, she had to sit down for a minute and let some things off her chest’.” Fun first single, “California Gurls,” declared by Entertainment Weekly as “unforgettable,” is the undeniable summer anthem of 2010.

A mentor in every sense of the word, Jodie Hertzog embodies the very nature of adviser; her council was very much appreciated through the course of my study. v ABSTRACT “Girl Power!” is a message that parents raising young women in today’s media- saturated society should be able to turn to with a modicum of relief from the relentlessly harmful messages normally found within popular music. But what happens when we turn a critical eye toward the messages cloaked within this supposedly feminist missive? A close examination of popular music associated with girl empowerment reveals that many of the messages found within these lyrics are frighteningly just as damaging as the misogynistic, violent, and explicitly sexual ones found in the usual fare of top 100 Hits.

Abstract In 1997 HBO aired its first original drama series, Oz. In the years that have followed the network has positioned itself as vanguard in the television landscape, however, HBO drama series have remained a complicated, and often dangerous site for female characters. Moreover, with a few exceptions (Sex and the City, or True Blood for example), original HBO drama series remain focused on the network’s primary audience demographic: the predominantly male, relatively affluent consumers of quality television. This research explores the representation of female detectives within original HBO crime drama series, The Wire (2002--8) and Season Two of True Detective (2014 -), in order to examine how female officers, operate within the male-dominated world of HBO drama.

  • Ling001 December 2015 from Hudson to Perry
    Mark Liberman (T.A. ) Ling001 December 2015 From Hudson to Perry: A Linguistic Analysis of Katy Perry’s Transformation from Gospel Girl to Pop Powerhouse I. Introduction The first time I ever heard the pop sensation Katy Hudson, more popularly known by her stage name, Katy Perry, was in 2008 on a road trip with my family. The soon-to-be hit song, “I kissed a Girl” came on the radio, and with the simple lyrics “I kissed a girl and I liked it,” a small firestorm erupted within our Honda CR-V. However, after listening to many of her earlier songs and more recent songs as they came out, I noticed that Perry’s linguistic style changed significantly from her first Christian Rock album, Katy Hudson, released in 2001, to her first major popular music album, One of the Boys, released in 2008, to her most recent popular music album, Prism, released in 2013. From a linguistic perspective, I noticed semantic, pragmatic, and phonological changes. This essay will evaluate this through the lens of several factors such as a simplification of verse structure, and a decrease in formality over time. I will evaluate word frequency, word associations, pronunciation variations, verse length, and metric structure. I propose that, for the sake of increasing her popularity, Perry simplified her language to appeal to a broader audience through phonological, pragmatic and semantic means. Because I wanted to focus on several levels of linguistic analysis, I decided that I would need to take a two-pronged approach to evaluating Katy Perry’s linguistic change.

  • "History of Youth Work in Europe", Volume 7
    Youth Knowledge # 25 THE HISTORY OF YOUTH WORK IN EUROPE Why have political, social or environmental causes often been behind the origin and evolution of youth organisations? Have other ideas been influential too? Why have some organisations expanded well beyond their countries of origin? To what extent have they held firm to their original 7 Volume – history in Europe The work of youth values and purpose, and to what extent have they adapted and evolved in changing circumstances? How have they related to youth policy or youth work agendas? How vulnerable have they been to ideology, context or political influences? Which of their characteristics have persisted over time? These are some of the questions that are explored in this book, which draws on contributions from the last seminar on the history of transnational youth organisations and their relation to youth work today. This book has three parts. The first explores the evolution of transnational youth organisations and movements over the past 100 years. The second adds two more country histories of youth work to the body of knowledge already established in earlier volumes in the series. The third and final part focuses on 12 “trilemmas” and reflections that have emerged from the 10-year History of Youth Work in Europe project. This anchors an invitation to the youth work community to consider and debate each trilemma, independently and in relation to each other, in the context of both the local environments of youth work delivery and across the wider European youth policy context, in anticipation of the 3rd European Youth Work Convention.
