Was punk DIY? Is DIY punk? Interrogating the DIY/punk nexus, with particular reference to the early UK punk scene, c . 1976–1984
This article offers a critical provocation and reconceptualisation of the DIY/punk nexus, both to challenge the standard critical narrative of punk as originary DIY culture and to liberate the broader practice of DIY from the limits of punk. It critically traces the development of the discourse of DIY both in original British punk c. 1976–1984 and in what has become punk studies, mapping the development of the scholarly orthodoxy. It then challen…
Further thoughts, and a maniFesto, on jazz (festivals) and the decolonization of music
This short critical-creative piece originates in an EU-funded project on heritage in improvised music festivals (CHIME). It is a supplement to other recently published research by the author exploring the relation between the touristic offer of certain British jazz festivals and their lack of engagement with the significance of their own civic setting and heritage, focused on festivals held in Georgian or Regency locations (i.e., ones with strong…
Cultural heritage and jazz festivals' special issue editors' introduction
The heritage of slavery in British jazz festivals
This article explores site-specific heritage questions of the contemporary cultural practice of festivals of jazz – a key transatlantic music form – by bringing together three areas for discussion and development: questions of slavery heritage and legacy; the location, built environment and (touristic) offer of the historic city; and the contemporary British jazz festival, its programme and the senses or silences of (historical) situatedness in t…
“They’ve Got a Bomb”
This article explores the links and tensions in Britain between a musical subculture at its height of creative energy – anarcho-punk – and the anti-nuclear movement, including the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. It identifies and interrogates the anti-nuclear elements of anarcho-punk, looking at its leading band, Crass. At the center is an exploration of the sounds of Crass’ music and singing voices – termed Crassonics – in the context of anti-…
Skinny blues
This article discusses an extraordinary body in popular music, that belonging to the person with anorexia which is also usually a gendered body - female - and that of the singer or frontperson. I explore the relation between the anorexic body and popular music, which is more than simply looking at constructions of anorexia in pop. It involves contextually thinking about the (medical) history and the critical reception and representation, the plac…

Community music
The United Kingdom has been a pivotal national player within the development of community music practice. There are elements of cultural and debatably pedagogic innovations in community music. These have to date only partly been articulated and historicized within academic research. This report, funded by the UK’s Arts and Humanities Research Council, brings together and reviews research under the headings of history and definitions, practice, re…
For One Hand
Crippled with nerves
This article looks at a remarkable cluster of popular musicians who contracted and survived poliomyelitis ('infantile paralysis') epidemics through the twentieth century, and ways in which they managed and, to varying extents, explored their polio-related impairments and experiences in their music. Drawing on medical history and disability studies, it focuses largely on the pop and rock generation of polio survivors - the children and young peopl…
Consumption, Coca-colonisation, Cultural Resistance – and Santa Claus
At least four of the seven deadly sins against which Christianity once railed are now seen by some to be venerated in Christmas celebrations: avarice, gluttony, lust, and envy. The conflict is by no means uniquely American ... but America has contributed the uniquely American Santa Claus and has become an arbiter of Christmas celebrations around the world, primarily because of its part import of European emigrant traditions and its present export…
A soundtrack to the insurrection’
What happens in social movements when people actually move, how does the mobile moment of activism contribute to mobilisation? Are they marching or dancing? How is the space of action, the street itself, altered, re-sounded? The employment of street music in the very specific context of political protest remains a curiously under-researched aspect of cultural politics in social movements.... By looking at the marching bands of different socio- po…

Just a closer walk with thee
This article looks at a particular moment in the relation between popular music and social protest, focusing on the traditional (trad) jazz scene of the 1950s in Britain. The research has a number of aims. One is to reconsider a cultural form dismissed, even despised by critics. Another is to contribute to the political project of cultural studies, via the uncomplicated strategy of focusing on music that accompanies political activism. Here the a…
Lexical Variation among Western Australian Primary School Children
This paper investigates the use of Australianisms by Western Australian primary school students. A selected set of lexical items from Bryant (1989a) were used in the study. Results showed less use of some items deemed to be indicative of Western Australia by Bryant and some infiltration of terms from the eastern states, clearly caused by internal migration. Other changes could be attributed to changes in Australian lifestyles generally and Americ…
Metapropaganda
This article engages with recent theoretical work which has developed the notion of texts offering models of reading for their readers. More specifically, it looks at ways in which science-fiction texts position readers, and at the ways in which political texts comment on their own reading processes and propagandizing strategies. A comparative analysis of George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949) and Katharine Burdekin’s neglected feminist dyst…

Toward Cultural Definition
I N ONE of his most eloquent moments the author Thomas Wolfe laments the difficult and seemingly tragic position of the artist in American culture. He finds himself placed by fate in an unprecedented situation with an almost torturing conflict. As he turns to Europe and the past his mind is burdened with awe for the great achievements of previous authentic cultures. Possessed with the most advanced technology in the history of mankind, and mrith …
