  • Kindred Births and Planetary Recurrences: Seeking the Larger 'Scope' of the Birth Moment
    Kindred births and planetary recurrences: Seeking the larger 'scope' of the birth moment A natal chart is pretty well defined by the moment of birth, in which all is captured as a still life, a snapshot of the solar system. Natal astrology is focused on this point in time, but what if we step back to view it in a broader context? When we zoom out from the natal chart and shift our attention to the planets in motion, the birth moment becomes the center of a wider time window. We become aware of planet events, like aspect contacts (perfections), stations and sign ingresses. These events often coincide within a few days, and can be studied in this way, which is the topic of my research. The idea of finding parallels between lives separated by decades or centuries is not a new one, but applying it to the development of a new astrological method seems very much out of the blue. I begin with the question of whether it is possible to discern any parallels between lives with common natal planet patterns. The first problem is how to define these patterns, my choice being to make use of planetary events around the birthdate, and to use a time limit of a week on either side -- what we might call a time-based orb. If astrology is truly about time, this approach gives me hope for a more complete understanding of that truth. In the zodiac, the planetary aspects are based on geometric figures, and they combine to form aspect patterns.

  • The Present Study Examines the Reception of Anglo-American Popular Music In
    Beatlephiles and Zappists: Rock Fandom in Communist Czechoslovakia in the Context of the Scene in Brno in the 1980s* Jan Blüml Abstract BLÜML, Jan: Beatlephiles and Zappists: Rock Fandom in Communist Czechoslovakia in the Context of the Scene in Brno in the 1980s. The history of rock in Communist Europe has been viewed by a number of domestic and foreign authors as a series of events with a dominant political content, either in the form of a general youth revolt or directly in the spirit of anti-communist opposition. In this regard, the present study extends the current simplifying concept with an emphasis on the reception history, including relevant issues related to the typology of listeners and aesthetics. The primary subject of this paper is the reception of two of the most influential representatives of Anglo-American popular music in Communist Czechoslovakia, these being the Beatles and Frank Zappa. The reception of both artistic subjects is reflected in the specific space of the Brno scene of the 1980s, within the framework of the artist fan clubs which had no parallel any- where else in the country. The study demonstrates the specifics of American and British rock fandom in the given time and space and challenges the long-held narrative about the supremacy of the political functions of rock behind the Iron Curtain. Keywords: The Beatles, Frank Zappa, Czechoslovakia, Communism, rock music, rock fandom, Brno, Moravia, reception history DOI: https://doi.org/10.31577/forhist.2020.14.2.3 he present study examines the reception of Anglo-American popular music in T - riod of late normalization.

    LIFE & ARTS Post-it note protests Photos by Laurel Chor Photos by Laurel Hong Kong’s Lennon Walls offer bright messages of resistance against Beijing’s tightening grip LAUREL CHOR Contributing writer ll over Hong Kong, a colorful form of peaceful protest has A been blossoming. People have been writing their thoughts, demands and encouragement onto Post-it notes, and sticking them onto walls in public spaces, creating an eye-catching and instantly recognizable mosaic. They’ve bloomed on walls of footbridges and pedestrian tunnels, and on the sides of government buildings and highway pillars, with some torn down as quickly as they flowered, and others having lasted since early June. These temporary installations are called Lennon Walls, taking their name from the graffiti-covered, peace- themed wall in Prague first painted with a picture of the late musician John Lennon in 1980. The first Hong Kong Lennon Wall appeared on the sides of the legislature in 2014, during the pro-democracy Umbrella Movement, when major streets were occupied in the heart of the city for 79 days.

  • Chapter 6 Hong Kong
    CHAPTER 6 HONG KONG Key Findings • The Hong Kong government’s proposal of a bill that would allow for extraditions to mainland China sparked the territory’s worst political crisis since its 1997 handover to the Mainland from the United Kingdom. China’s encroachment on Hong Kong’s auton- omy and its suppression of prodemocracy voices in recent years have fueled opposition, with many protesters now seeing the current demonstrations as Hong Kong’s last stand to preserve its freedoms. Protesters voiced five demands: (1) formal with- drawal of the bill; (2) establishing an independent inquiry into police brutality; (3) removing the designation of the protests as “riots;” (4) releasing all those arrested during the movement; and (5) instituting universal suffrage. • After unprecedented protests against the extradition bill, Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam suspended the measure in June 2019, dealing a blow to Beijing which had backed the legislation and crippling her political agenda. Her promise in September to formally withdraw the bill came after months of protests and escalation by the Hong Kong police seeking to quell demonstrations. The Hong Kong police used increasingly aggressive tactics against protesters, resulting in calls for an independent inquiry into police abuses. • Despite millions of demonstrators—spanning ages, religions, and professions—taking to the streets in largely peaceful pro- test, the Lam Administration continues to align itself with Bei- jing and only conceded to one of the five protester demands. In an attempt to conflate the bolder actions of a few with the largely peaceful protests, Chinese officials have compared the movement to “terrorism” and a “color revolution,” and have im- plicitly threatened to deploy its security forces from outside Hong Kong to suppress the demonstrations.
