Book Synopsis Subcultures, Popular Music and Social Change by : William Osgerby
Download or read book Subcultures, Popular Music and Social Change written by William Osgerby and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2014-09-18 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Style-based subcultures, scenes and tribes have pulsated through the history of social, economic and political change. From 1940s zoot-suiters and hepcats; through 1950s rock ’n’ rollers, beatniks and Teddy boys; 1960s surfers, rudeboys, mods, hippies and bikers; 1970s skinheads, soul boys, rastas, glam rockers, funksters and punks; on to the heavy metal, hip-hop, casual, goth, rave, hipster and clubber styles of the 1980s, 90s, noughties and beyond; distinctive blends of fashion and music have become a defining feature of the cultural landscape. Research into these phenomena has traversed the social sciences and humanities, and Subcultures, Popular Music and Social Change assembles important theoretical interventions and empirical studies from this rich, interdisciplinary field. Featuring contributions from major scholars and new researchers, the book explores the historical and cultural significance of subcultural styles and their related music genres. Particular attention is given to the relation between subcultures and their historical context, the place of subcultures within patterns of cultural and political change, and their meaning for participants, confederates and opponents. As well as Anglo-American developments, the book considers experiences across a variety of global sites and locales, giving reference to issues such as class, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, creativity, commerce, identity, resistance and deviance.
Book Synopsis Destructive Desires by : Robert J. Patterson
Download or read book Destructive Desires written by Robert J. Patterson and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2019-04-05 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite rhythm and blues culture’s undeniable role in molding, reflecting, and reshaping black cultural production, consciousness, and politics, it has yet to receive the serious scholarly examination it deserves. Destructive Desires corrects this omission by analyzing how post-Civil Rights era rhythm and blues culture articulates competing and conflicting political, social, familial, and economic desires within and for African American communities. As an important form of black cultural production, rhythm and blues music helps us to understand black political and cultural desires and longings in light of neo-liberalism’s increased codification in America’s racial politics and policies since the 1970s. Robert J. Patterson provides a thorough analysis of four artists—Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds, Adina Howard, Whitney Houston, and Toni Braxton—to examine black cultural longings by demonstrating how our reading of specific moments in their lives, careers, and performances serve as metacommentaries for broader issues in black culture and politics.
Book Synopsis This Will Be The Death Of Me by : Rose Rutland
Download or read book This Will Be The Death Of Me written by Rose Rutland and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2018-10-22 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This autobiography depicts the author's haunting memories, frustrations of ignorance (darkness) as a child, and the confusion that escorted introverted Rose Rutland into a season of promiscuity as a young woman and an unplanned pregnancy, then ultimately into attempting suicide. It also shows the tricks and tactics of the enemy, how he played and preyed upon her to bring her to that place of hopelessness. This young Black woman, Rose, struggles to understand what is happening to her amid the ignorance (darkness) that slowly overtakes her throughout her life. Ignorance, ranging from parents' love, sibling rivalry, neglect, guns, men, sex, abortion, abuse, lies, secrets, misunderstandings, dreams, visions, angels, God, and eternity. Despite it all, Rose pushes toward the unknown. God wanted this book written to knock on the doors of hearts that are crying out for help, as mine was. Writing this book brought back memories that used to make me cry. Being led of God to write it I cried not for pain of those memories. I wept over the Love God showed through it all. And I laughed at the foolishness of that dead little girl. This book is an answer to someone's cry. May this book increase hope and faith in God, open blind eyes, and set the captives free.

Book excerpt: "Grace Mercer's unmatched wraith-killing ability made her the unofficial defender of a city shattered by supernatural catastrophe. So there's no way she'll allow the new regent of Seattle's most powerful dragon-shifter clan to "protect" her from a vicious evil stalking the ruined streets or keep her from the freedom she's risked everything to earn. Leif's science-honed instincts tell him Grace is the key to keeping shifters and humans safe, but helping this wary fighter channel her untapped power is burning away the dragon's sensual self-control and putting a crucial alliance at risk. Soon the only chance Leif and Grace will have to save their world will be a dangerously fragile link that could forever unite their souls--or consume everything in a storm of destruction"--P.

Book Synopsis Inter-cultural Performance by : Graham Squires
Download or read book Inter-cultural Performance written by Graham Squires and published by Editions Publibook. This book was released on 2016 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the modern world we are accustomed to conceptualising international relations in terms of national identity. We speak of English culture, French culture and American culture as if these things were the basic building blocks of global civilisation. While there is no doubt that national culture is important, such a view fails to take account of the fact that there is great diversity within nations and powerful connections across national frontiers. Just as individuals cannot be understood in isolation from the society of which they are a part, so national cultures cannot be understood in isolation from the global community. Since the beginning of human history cross-cultural exchange has been important in bringing about social change. This can be seen vividly in the way languages and their associated literary and dramatic traditions have interacted with one another. This volume brings together a collection of essays that focus on the role cross-cultural exchange has played in performance in the theatre and in film. The aim is not to suggest any systematic theory of cross-cultural exchange but rather to present a variety of examples that illustrate the subtle and complex way in which different cultures interact.
