Feminist Perspectives in Music Therapy, pp. 227-244. Gilsum NH: Barcelona Publishers. Feminist Music Therapy: Transforming Theory, Transforming Lives Sandra L. Curtis It's revolutionary for women to sing the blues, but it's even more so to sing all the songs of life. —Gloria Steinem, Revolution from Within The widespread impact of feminism is undeniable, with a diverse array of fields enriched by its contributions. Feminist therapy represents one of the most significant of these contributions in the area of women's wellness. Developing in response to the second wave of feminism and feminist critique of traditional therapy, feminist therapy has now established a rich tradition of theory, practice, and research (Bricker-Jenkins, Hooyman, & Gottlieb, 1991; Brown & Root, 1990; Burstow, 1992; Worell & Remer, 2003). This tradition has influenced those working in such fields as psychotherapy, counseling, and social work— whether in choosing to practice feminist therapy directly or to use it to inform their own practice. With its roots in the 1970's, feminist therapy is still greatly needed today: to address unique issues facing women; to provide a more complete understanding of women in the sociopolitical context of ongoing patriarchy and institutionalized oppression; to fill gaps in current theory and research; and to provide creative therapeutic approaches which better meet women's needs (Worell & Remer, 2003). At the same time as feminist therapy has been developing, music therapy has been developing its own rich tradition of theory, research, and practice.

SHAWN COPELAND BOSTON COLLEGE an the people who brought you the blues be happy? African Americans are happy sometimes, although we are not like our Irish C cousins whose wars are said to be merry and whose songs are said to be sad. In the diverse and complex matrix that is African American culture, perhaps the closest approximation to this old favorite about the people of the Emerald Isle is the New Orleans “jazz funeral”—a slow, sorrowful lament ushers the body to the cemetery; a quick, jazzed second- line leads the mourners to the joyful remembrance that follows. Sometimes, African Americans are not happy: like our Jewish brothers and sisters, we nod ironically when misunderstood, misused, and maligned; and, like them, we take up bittersweet, sometimes self-deprecating, humor to “change the joke and slip the yoke.”2 Of course sometimes we are happy; although we are not like our Anglo-Saxon cousins, who often pay out their pleasure either in ponderous measure or jaded excess; at home we enthuse, spill over, laugh at our predicament as well as ourselves, but often, when visiting, we carry ourselves with gingered ease.

  • Degenderettes Protest Artwork Exhibiton Label Text
    Degenderettes Antifa Art Exhibition Label Text Degenderettes Protest Artwork “Tolerance is not a moral absolute; it is a peace treaty.” Yonatan Zunger wrote these words in the weeks leading up to the first Women’s March in 2017. In the same article he suggested that the limits of tolerance could best be illustrated by a Degenderette standing defiantly and without aggression, pride bat in hand. Throughout this exhibit you will see artifacts of that defiance, some more visceral or confrontational than others, but all with the same message. Transgender people exist and we are a part of society’s peace treaty—but we are also counting the bodies (at least seven transgender people have been killed in the United States since the beginning of 2018). We Degenderettes are present at shows of solidarity such as the Trans March, Dyke March, Women’s March, and Pride. We endeavor to provide protection for transgender people at rallies and marches in San Francisco, Oakland, and Berkeley. We show up in opposition to people who seek to harm the transgender community—people like Milo Yiannopoulos, whose track record of outing transgender students and doxing immigrants inspired a contingent of Degenderettes to protest his fateful visit to U.C. Berkeley in February 2017. It was in the wake of the confrontation at U.C. Berkeley that shields were identified as weapons by the Berkeley Police Department and banned from all subsequent protests in the city. These guidelines have been adopted throughout the rest of the Bay Area. To us, the shields and everything else in this exhibit are still a type of armor.

  • A Family Business: Chile and the Transition to Democracy in Alberto Fuguet's Se Arrienda
    A Family Business: Chile and the Transition to Democracy in Alberto Fuguet’s Se arrienda Ezekiel Trautenberg University of California, Los Angeles Se arrienda depicts a landmark era in Chile’s cultural, economic, political, and social history: the Transition to Democracy (1988- 2005). This period begins with the “No” campaign’s victory in the October 5, 1988 plebiscite and ends with the implementation of a series of wide-ranging constitutional reforms in August 2005. Fuguet’s film, which follows the composer Gastón Fernández, unfolds at the beginning and tail end of the Transition to Democracy. Se arrienda represents Chile during the Transition through the lenses of cul- ture and economics. The film’s dual temporal narrative structure bookending the Transition, polysemous title, and epigraph from L.P. Hartley’s novel The Go-Between (1953) establish its allegorical qualities. Additionally, three facets epitomize Se arrienda’s allegorical representation of Transition-era Chile: the October 14, 1988 Human Rights Now! concert in Mendoza, the relationship between Gastón and his father, and the portrayal of Chernovsky. The film’s depiction of the Human Rights Now! concert, held days after the 1988 plebi- scite, reflects the collective optimism and solidarity at the beginning of the Transition, as well as the prominence of human rights as a political, social, and cultural issue. Turning to the film’s present of 2003, the relationship between Gastón and his father functions as a metaphor of “family capitalism” (Schneider, Hierarchical Capitalism 47), while Chernovsky’s descent into poverty and isolation reflects the entrenched socio-economic inequality and limited social safety net in Transition-era Chile.

Cultural festivals are argued to offer one such particularly rich and nuanced research context; within this study their potential to transcend intermittent enactment emerged as a significant avenue of enquiry. The engagement of organisation studies with theories of practice has produced a rich practice-based corpus, diverse in both theoretical concerns and empirical approaches to the study of practice. Nevertheless, continuity presents an, as yet, under- theorised aspect of this field. Thus, the central questions of this thesis concern: the practices that underpin the enactment of festivals; the themes emerging from these practices for further consideration; and relationships between festivals and the wider context within which they are enacted. These issues were explored empirically through a qualitative study of the enactment of a community-centred film festival. Following from the adoption of a ‘practice-lens approach’, this study yielded forty-eight practices, through which to explore five themes emerging from analysis: Safeguarding, Legitimising, Gatekeeping, Connecting and Negotiating Boundaries.
