The master thesis titled Ideologization and fragmentation of Skinhead subculture deals with historical background of Skinhead subculture genesis and with cleavages, that determinated its ideologization and fragmentation. Simultaneously it pays close attention to analysis of various branches of the Skinhead subculture. The first chapter of the thesis builds theoretical foundations of the research. In this chapter the terms culture, subculture and counterculture are explained. Accentutation is placed on common denominators as well as on differences in the definition of these terms. The second chapter of the master thesis deals equally with historical background of Skinhead subculture genesis and with subcultures with a significant impact on the formation of the Skinhead subculture. In this chapter the attention is focused on historical facts of political development in Great Britain after The Second World War, on subcultures popular at that time and on foundation of the Skinhead subculture. The third chapter of this thesis analyzes infiltration of the political ideologies inside the subculture and the following fragmentation of Skinheads. Research in this chapter is focused on the spread of extreme right-wing elements, foundation of the racist branch of the subculture and sequentially on the reaction...

Dissertation Abstract Paper Agora: The Samizdat Periodical Vokno and the Provincial Czech Underground in Historical and Social Perspective Martin Tharp, Department of Historical Sociology. The present work takes as its central subject a Czech samizdat publication, the magazine Vokno, primarily during its years of illegal operation, i.e. from 1979 until 1990, considered within the wider context of civil and cultural resistance to the oppressive social order of European state socialism. It treats Vokno as an instance of social action amid state forces inimical towards it, discussing the interplay and interaction of oppositional practice and the forces it opposes, both of state authority and more subtle ones of state cultural hegemony. It is argued that Vokno formed an attempt at a "counterculture" in the late 20th-century sense of an impulsive critique of a regimented modernity, yet within its immediate conditions was necessitated to assume three specific forms: as an aesthetic sub/counterculture, as a social network with differing levels of involvement and connections (whether to established intellectual dissent or to other social strata), and finally as a conscious oppositional social movement.

[pt] A tese CEP 20.000 - Centro de Experimentação Poética - Uma Utopia Falada percorre e registra os 30 anos do CEP 20.000, um dos mais importantes e influentes eventos de poesia do Rio de Janeiro através de um olhar jornalístico, documental, historiográfico mas também testemunhal - visto que seu autor fez parte, como artista e também como produtor de uma fatia considerável dessa história. Abrindo espaço para experimentações artísticas nas mais diversas frentes - com enfoque especial na poesia falada - o CEP 20.000 já recebeu dezenas de milhares de artistas em suas três décadas de atividades, para participarem em apresentações curtas diante de um público ávido. A tese busca localizar o CEP, a partir das premissas estabelecidas por Michel Foucault, como uma heterotopia que merece seu lugar em uma espécie de linha pontilhada ou rizoma histórico da contracultura - partindo do Cabaret Voltaire, passando pelos Beats, os hippies, a geração marginal e os punks. A trajetória do CEP é contada de dentro do Espaço Cultural Sérgio Porto, seu palco principal, mas também pelo trabalho e a vida das tantas pessoas ligadas ao evento - e, com isso, a história do CEP supera seus próprios limites e acaba indo além dos 30 anos e das paredes de seu palco, contando também um pouco a história de um período da contracultura e da cena literária e musical do Rio de Janeiro, desde os anos 1990 e até hoje. / [en] The dissertation CEP 20.000 - Center of Poetic Experimentation - A Spoken Utopia covers the 30 years history of CEP 20.000, one of the most important and influential poetry events in Rio de Janeiro. Built on a journalistic, documentary, historiographic perspective, the dissertation also has a testimonial essence - given the author took part of it as cast and crew for over a decade. An open stage to all styles of artistic expression - with deeper focus on spoken poetry - CEP 20.000 has received tens of thousands of artists for short performances in front of an avid audience of around 200 people since 1990. This work seeks to positioning CEP 20.000, based on Michel Foucault s premisses, as an heterotopia, who deserves its place in a kind of dot line or historical rhizome of counterculture through history - from Cabaret Voltaire, the Beat generation, hippies, the marginal generation in Brazil, to punk and beyond. The trajectory of CEP is revisited from within Espaço Cultural Sergio Porto theater, its main venue, but also through the work and life of all the people connected to the event - transcending the boundaries of its own three decade existence and the limits of its stage to find its place as part of Rio s counterculture history, literary and musical scene, since the 1990 s till today.

Counterculture history is often divided, with a focus on either the turbulent 1960s or the "back to the land" exodus of the 1970s. A study of Stephen Gaskin and his followers' founding of The Farm, a rural commune near Summertown, Tennessee, provides a unique insight into the commonalities and connections of these two periods. It will be the aim of this thesis to weave the separate narratives of this demographic into one complete idea. The idea that the hippies constituted a counterculture suggests that once that culture went into exile, onto numerous communes, they existed as a diaspora. The Farm's existence as a spiritual commune, with their roots in Haight-Ashbury's short-lived utopian dream, and their continuation and evolution of that dream in Tennessee, make this particular group a model for the diaspora. The Farm, with its larger profile, publishing, and outreach programs, became the preeminent post-Haight-Ashbury commune. The commune was able to preserve the counterculture in exile, while it became a leader in dictating the direction of its progress. The Farm's efforts in midwifery, sustainable living, promotion of vegetarian diets, and outreach in America's inner cities and the Third World all point to a proactive counterculture and the commune's leadership role for the remnants of the counterculture. While the profile of the counterculture has diminished, a shift in American attitudes toward natural childbirth, ecology, and a more earth-friendly diet containing a greater variety of organic and vegetarian options reveal a significant success for their agenda.

[ES] Desde finales del s. XX y en estas dos décadas del s. XXI, en el Estado español han proliferado una serie de prácticas y propuestas por parte de artistas, colectivos, teóricas y activistas que comparten un posicionamiento feminista y queer/cuir/kuir. En el transfeminismo confluyen genealogías (las feministas, las LGTBIQ+, las antirracistas y de(s)coloniales) que repiensan de manera crítica y compleja su entorno y su historia desde la disidencia. Su propuesta epistemológica, sus luchas identitarias, su vindicación de derechos, y su amplia producción cultural y política ha activado cambios en el contexto contemporáneo de forma inédita. Nuestra aportación a las redes transfeministas a través de 20 años de trabajo desde el colectivo O.R.G.I.A, nos permite elaborar un relato historiográfico alternativo que da cuenta de la relación entre lo político, lo afectivo y lo visual, y de su vinculación con el contexto, haciendo uso de la autohistoria-teoría para elaborar una memoria estético-política crítica de sus acciones, sus prácticas visuales y culturales, y sus textos. Desde el conocimiento situado y una perspectiva encarnada, se ahonda en el "ajuar frankenstein" de referentes, antecedentes, memorias e imaginarios, que alimentan buena parte de las prácticas artísticas transfeministas y las conectan con sus genealogías diversas. Se reflexiona sobre otras formas autónomas de acceder al conocimiento y de producirlo desde la autogestión (DIY, DIWO, DIT). Se analiza también la relación con las teorías y textos llegados de otros contextos en procesos de traducción de ida y vuelta, para ver la singularidad de los discursos generados en este contexto particular en relación a otros como el anglosajón, el francés o el latinoamericano. Se examinan así mismo aquellas referencias que surgen a partir y sobre las propias prácticas transfeministas, y que toman el pulso de su evolución e impacto en el ámbito de la cultura contemporánea, y en especial desde la llegada de la teoría queer. Los cambios acontecidos en el ámbito del arte y en algunas de sus instituciones permitieron una serie de encuentros en forma de jornadas y seminarios, en los que las relaciones político-afectivas se han ido consolidando. Su relevancia, y los debates generados en cada uno de ellos, han sido puestos en relación con las diversas prácticas visuales y/o performativas desarrolladas por colectivos y artistas transfeministas, organizando una casuística en torno a los principales temas de discusión. / [CA] Des de finals del s. XX i en aquestes dues dècades del s. XXI, en l'Estat espanyol han proliferat una sèrie de pràctiques i propostes per part d'artistes, col·lectius, teòriques i activistes que comparteixen un posicionament feminista i queer/cuir/kuir. En el transfeminisme conflueixen genealogies (les feministes, les LGTBIQ+, les antiracistes i de(s)colonials) que repensen de manera crítica i complexa el seu entorn i la seua història des de la dissidència. La seua proposta epistemològica, les seues lluites identitàries, la seua vindicació de drets, i la seua àmplia producció cultural i política ha activat canvis en el context contemporani de manera inèdita. La nostra aportació a les xarxes transfeministes a través de 20 anys de treball des del col·lectiu O.R.G.I.A, ens permet elaborar un relat historiogràfic alternatiu que dona compte de la relació entre el polític, l'afectiu i el visual, i de la seua vinculació amb el context, fent ús de l'autohistòria-teoria per a elaborar una memòria estètic-política crítica de les seues accions, les seues pràctiques visuals i culturals, i els seus textos. Des del coneixement situat i una perspectiva encarnada, s'aprofundeix en el "aixovar frankenstein" de referents, antecedents, memòries i imaginaris, que alimenten bona part de les pràctiques artístiques transfeministes i les connecten amb les seues genealogies diverses. Es reflexiona sobre altres formes autònomes d'accedir al coneixement i de produir-lo des de l'autogestió (DIY, DIWO, DIT). S'analitza també la relació amb les teories i textos arribats d'altres contextos en processos de traducció d'anada i volta, per a veure la singularitat dels discursos generats en aquest context particular en relació a uns altres com l'anglosaxó, el francés o el llatinoamericà. S'examinen així mateix aquelles referències que sorgeixen a partir i sobre les pròpies pràctiques transfeministes, i que prenen el pols de la seua evolució i impacte en l'àmbit de la cultura contemporània, i especialment des de l'arribada de la teoria queer. Els canvis esdevinguts en l'àmbit de l'art i en algunes de les seues institucions van permetre una sèrie de trobades en forma de jornades i seminaris, en els quals les relacions polític-afectives s'han anat consolidant. La seua rellevància, i els debats generats en cadascun d'ells, han sigut posats en relació amb les diverses pràctiques visuals i/o performatives desenvolupades per col·lectius i artistes transfeministes, organitzant una casuística entorn dels principals temes de discussió. / [EN] From the end of the 20th century and in these two decades of the 21st century, a series of practices and proposals by artists, groups, theoreticians, and activists who share a feminist and queer/cuir/kuir position have proliferated in the Spanish State. Transfeminism brings together genealogies (feminists, LGTBIQ+, anti-racist, and de(s)colonial) that critically and complexly rethink their environment and history from dissidence. His epistemological proposal, his identity struggles, his vindication of rights, and his extensive cultural and political production have activated changes in the contemporary context in an unprecedented way. Our contribution to the transfeminist networks through 20 years of work from the O.R.G.I.A collective, allows us to elaborate an alternative historiographical account that accounts for the relationship between the political, the affective and the visual, and its link with the context, making use of self-history-theory to elaborate a critical aesthetic-political memory of his actions, his visual and cultural practices, and his texts. From situated knowledge and an embodied perspective, it delves into the "Frankenstein trousseau" of references, backgrounds, memories and imaginaries, which feed a good part of transfeminist artistic practices and connect them with their diverse genealogies. It reflects on other autonomous ways of accessing knowledge and producing it from self-management (DIY, DIWO, DIT). The relationship with the theories and texts coming from different contexts in round-trip translation processes is also analyzed, to see the singularity of the discourses generated in this particular context in relation to others such as the Anglo-Saxon, the French or the Latin American. Likewise, those references that arise from and about the transfeminist practices themselves are examined, and that take the pulse of their evolution and impact in the field of contemporary culture, especially since the arrival of queer theory. The changes that have taken place in the field of art and in some of its institutions have allowed a series of meetings in the form of conferences and seminars, in which political-affective relations have been consolidated. Its relevance, and the debates generated in each of them, have been related to the various visual and/or performative practices developed by transfeminist groups and artists, organizing a casuistry around the main topics of discussion. / Higon Cardete, B.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Valeria Aparecida Alves.pdf: 11158129 bytes, checksum: 197fdc3394b6120655436bb40ebb7714 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2011-06-10 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / The object of study of this research has singled out Torquato de Araújo Neto, who experienced political, economical, and cultural transformations in the late 1950 s and the early 1970 s. He participated actively in the tropicalism movement in music and in the marginal or underground movie production. He also used the press, a privileged medium, to debate and explicit the context in which he was living. From the analysis of Torquato Neto s life s path and discourse, this work aimed at problematizing the Brazilian cultural production during the period of authoritarianism and at discussing the proposals for a renewed Brazilian popular music, the debate among artists and intellectuals, and the various forms of resistance. The research was carried out using the following sources of information: song lyrics, three newspaper columns - Música Popular, published in the Sports newspaper in 1967, Plug, published in Correio da Manhã in 1970, and Geléia Geral, published in Última Hora also in 1970. Other sources were letters, notes, poems, and images about the tropicalism movement found on record covers, in O Estado de São Paulo, Folha de São Paulo and Folha da Tarde newspapers, and in Veja magazine. Videos which registered the stage performance of the movement participants were also used. It is possible to conclude that, during the period of time when increasing measures were taken to curtail freedoms and to repress, a number of artists and intellectuals resisted that arbitrariness and protested against the established order, using the defense that Creating is resisting. They marginally produced, searched for alternative spaces and a new aesthetic language. They displayed anarchic behavior in relation to political and cultural order. They revendicated freedom in every aspect of life, and Torquato Neto was the spokesman of this defense movement / A pesquisa ora apresentada privilegiou como objeto de estudo Torquato de Araújo Neto. Sujeito que vivenciou as transformações políticas, econômicas e culturais ocorridas entre o final dos anos 50 e início da década de 1970. Participante ativo do tropicalismo musical e da produção do cinema marginal ou underground, ocupou espaço privilegiado a imprensa para debater e explicitar o contexto vivido. Buscou-se a partir da análise da trajetória e discurso de Torquato Neto, problematizar a produção cultural brasileira durante o período de vigência do autoritarismo e discutir as propostas de renovação para a Música Popular Brasileira, o debate entre artistas e intelectuais e as diversas formas de resistência. As fontes utilizadas para o desenvolvimento da pesquisa foram: as letras das canções, as colunas Música Popular , publicada no jornal dos Sports, no ano de 1967, Plug , no Correio da Manhã e Geléia Geral , no jornal Última Hora, ambos na década de 1970, além de cartas, anotações e poemas, as imagens produzidas sobre o movimento tropicalista, encontradas nas capas dos discos, nas fotos publicadas na imprensa, nos jornais O Estado de São Paulo, Folha de São Paulo e Folha da Tarde e na revista Veja, além dos vídeos que registraram a performance de seus integrantes nos palcos. Através desta pesquisa, conclui-se que durante o período de ampliação das medidas de cerceamento das liberdades e repressão, uma parcela de artistas e intelectuais resistiu ao arbítrio e protestou contra a ordem estabelecida, assumindo a defesa de que Criar é resistir . Produziram à margem, buscaram espaços alternativos e uma nova linguagem estética. Assumiram uma postura anárquica em relação à ordem política e cultural. Reivindicavam liberdade, em todos os sentidos, e Torquato Neto foi porta-voz dessa defesa
