“…not only shapes the pedagogies within learning ecologies but can also acts as its own form of political activism. But punk and DIY scenes reconceptualize the space outside of the venue's walls as well, producing expanded cultural geographies where community members can engage, develop, and learn the egalitarian and transgressive politics of DIY cultural production (Grazian, 2013;Woods, 2019). This results in a decentralized learning ecology that "offers youth unique and diverse experiences where critical knowledge is produced and, in some cases, acted upon" (Haworth, 2010, p. 183), an ecology manifested in the material space of DIY venues and the relationships that construct surrounding scenes.…”

“…Rather than existing outside of the dominant culture, punk places create heterotopias where scene members can enact a desired, egalitarian politics during the time span of the show (Tucker, 2012). Considering the ways in which punks and other DIY scene members routinely reconfigure the cultural landscape beyond the walls of the venue (Grazian, 2013;Woods, 2019), it follows that DIY scenes act on this subjunctive mood beyond the moment of performance by attempting to instill a DIY ethics in other social arenas.…”

The aesthetic pedagogies of DIY music

Despite the growing interest in punk pedagogy, or the examination of the educative practices of do-it-yourself (DIY) music and punk culture, extant literature has failed to investigate the embedded pedagogies and curricula within the performative aesthetics of these musical contexts.In this paper, I address this oversight by placing DIY and punk pedagogy literature in conversation with writings on relational aesthetics and Freirean aesthetic theory. In doing so, I propose that the aesthetics pedagogies of DIY music can both uplift and undermine the liberatory nature of punk music and DIY culture. By way of example, I analyze performances by hardcore band G.L.O.S.S. and percussionist Sarah Hennies. While both artists rely on relational aesthetics, the varying use of speculative spaces (McClure, 2013) and conflicting epistemological assumptions lead to divergent responses from the audience that align with the Freirean concepts of codifications and the banking model of education (Freire, 1970;1973).

“…Echoes of this call for a return of 'attitude' can also be found in the cultural geography's creative turn (Veal & Hawkins, 2020), in a renewed interest in punk-inspired methods such as Zines (Bagelman & Bagelman 2016), punk geographies (Woods, 2019, Gelbard, 2017 and punk pedagogies (Smith et al, 2018) for example. In response to this call, based on my curiosity in finding that picture of Burroughs, I began to imagine how elements taken from Beat and avant-garde writing could be used to get past my own analytical impasse, if there were 'ways of doing and making that [could] intervene in the general distribution of ways of doing and making' (Rancière, 2004, p13) and trying not to 'fret…about the risks of experimenting' (Dewsbury, 2010).…”

Looking for dementia friendly communities: towards an interdisciplinary understanding using a case study, fragments and cut-ups

This thesis tries to develop an understanding of the phenomenon of ‘Dementia Friendly Communities’ (DFCs), a policy initiative which has been pursued during the last decade in the nations and regions of the UK, and other parts of the world. In Wales, this has coincided with a radical shrinking of state budgets to deliver social care support, often called ‘austerity’, and rising interest in the policy and cultural implications of an ageing society, and how dementia has seemingly become more central in that demographic trend. This inquiry arises initially from a critical gerontology perspective but develops along lines which borrow from cultural geography and post-war, avantgarde literature. Such an interdisciplinary approach presents opportunities for using novel methods of collecting and analysing material. Though conventional ethnographic techniques such as participant observation, interviewing and photography were used throughout, I also introduce practises such as writing using spontaneous prose, collaging or cut-ups, as an alternative means of analysis. During fieldwork, I attended various events and meetings with those involved in developing DFCs, including ‘dementia activists’, and witnessed the development of ‘Meeting Centres’ as a chosen approach to support those with dementias and their carers in the market town of Brecon, south Wales. From this, a picture emerges of a phenomenon which seems contingent and difficult to grasp, but offers space for critical counter-conducts, glimpses of community-making and types of citizenship. Foucauldian concepts such as biopolitics, governmentality and pastoral power, alongside more non-representational and affective approaches, were used throughout. Writers such as William S. Burroughs, Georges Perec and others inspired ‘ways of doing and making that [could] intervene in the general distribution of ways of doing and making’ (Rancière, 2004, p13). Findings are presented as a series of fragments, including fictocritical and anecdotal writing, collages and cut-ups of materials generated. The main contribution of this study is to attempt to a more nuanced portrayal of DFCs as found, whilst developing methods which question epistemic boundaries, and may have practical potential for synthesising new materials across disciplinary borders.
