AESTHETIC POLITICS OF AFFECT AND AUTONOMY In Arundhati Virmani (ed.), Political Aesthetics: Culture, Critique and the Everyday, London, Routledge, 2016, p.71-86. The emergence of techno music – commonly used in France as electronic dance music – in the early 1990s is inseparable from rave parties as a form of spatiotemporal deployment. It signifies that the live diffusion via a sound system powerful enough to diffuse not only its volume but also its sound frequencies spectrum, including infrabass, is an integral part of the techno experience. In other words listening on domestic equipment is not a sufficient condition to experience this music.

  • Technics, Precarity and Exodus in Rave Culture
    29 Dancecult: Journal of Electronic Dance Music Culture • vol 1 no 2 Technics, Precarity and Exodus in Rave Culture TOBIAS C. VAN VEEN MCGILL UNIVERSITY Abstract Without a doubt, the question of rave culture’s politics – or lack thereof – has polarized debate concerning the cultural, social and political value of rave culture not only within electronic dance music culture (EDMC) studies, but in disciplines that look to various manifestations of subculture and counterculture for political innovation. It is time for the groundwork of this debate to be rethought. Ask not what rave culture’s politics can do for you; nor even what you can do for it. Rather, ask what the unexamined account of politics has ever done for anyone; then question all that rave culture has interrogated – from its embodied and technological practices to its production of ecstatic and collective subjectivities – and begin to trace how it has complicated the very question of the political, the communal and the ethical. This complication begins with the dissolution of the boundaries of labour and leisure and the always-already co-optation of culture. To the negation of ethics, community and politics, this tracing calls for the hauntology of technics, precarity and exodus. And it ends with a list of impossible demands demonstrating the parallax gap of rave culture’s politics. Keywords exodus, precarity, technics, multitude, workplay He [Randy] predicted the [rave] parties will eventually disappear under the combined pressure of police, city and fire officials. “In the next year and a half it’s going to vanish”, he said. “Then, when they think it’s gone, it will come back, becoming more underground again”.

Introduction Recent decades have seen a growth in travel and tourism abroad because of cheap air fares and holiday packages. This has been accompanied by a relaxation of border controls, especially within parts of Europe participating in the Schengen Agreement. As some people may be more inclined to use illicit substances during holiday periods and some may even choose to travel to destinations that are associated with drug use — a phenomenon sometimes referred to as ‘drug tourism’ — this means that from a European drug policy perspective the issue of drug use and travel has become more important. This Thematic paper examines travellers and drug use, with a focus on Europeans travelling within Europe, although some other relevant destinations are also included.

  • 10 the Great British Ecstasy Revolution
    10 The Great British Ecstasy revolution MARY ANNA WRIGHT Over the last ten years many people have changedtheir attitudes to drugs. A lot have changed the way they spend their leisure time. Some have changed the way they treat other people. They may have changed the music they listen to. Many have altered how they make money. Some have become slaves to the weekend, having the best night of their lives every single week. Some can take it or leave it. Others have tried to build their lives up to the level they learned to cherish. Hundreds of thousands have experienced the Ecstasy revolution. The Ecstasy revolution is based on a series of profound moments when the baggage of British values was brought out for an airing under the influence of this Class A drug. Packed within the baggage are rules of behaviour deeply ingrained within our society. Rules like the structure of the British class system, the role of men and women and the sanctity of the law have become increasingly untenable. As dissatisfaction with the political system increased and diverse cultures merged, the baggage was unpacked with a questioning of authority. For many, primarily young people, this questioning coincided with an introduction to a new drug and a new social experience. The Ecstasy revolution took time to gather force. In the begin- ning a few people took a few pills at a few parties. Now the E-thos of peace, love and unity has become so much accepted into our social lives it can almost be taken for granted.
