Abstract: Este estudio estuvo orientado a identificar las bondades que tienen el método hegeliano en los diferentes aspectos de la política y la música con la finalidad de analizar su relación. En tal sentido se planteó los siguientes objetivos: determinar la relación entre la política cultural neoliberal2 y la música heavy metal3, analizar su desarrollo y sus características. Se hizo uso de la encuesta y la entrevista los que se aplicaron a una muestra no probabilística de 30 jóvenes (de 18 a 35 años de edad) metaleros de Huánuco. Se identificó tres generaciones: 1era. Generación de Metaleros 1990-1996 (tesis); 2da. Generación de Metaleros 1997-2003 (antítesis); 3era. Generación de Metaleros 2004-2010 (síntesis). Se evidencia la existencia de una contradicción dialéctica entre la música heavy metal (la cual forma parte de una subcultura) y la cultura dominante en el mundo (en este caso la política cultural neoliberal), ambas evidencian una relación directa no solamente en el aspecto cronológico, sino en el plano ideológico.

Abstract: Metal studies is usually considered to be a fundamentally interdisciplinary field of research. However, the disciplines that were included at its beginning (mostly sociology, cultural anthropology, musicology, and philosophy) are still theoretically dominant. As a consequence, several important research questions that do not reflect these disciplines’ epistemologies have remained unanswered to this day. To a great extent, this applies to historical research questions on metal scenes. In this respect, the author argues that metal studies could benefit from the expertise of history in general and source criticism in particular. In order to develop this argument, necessary basic traits of contemporary historical source criticism are introduced. Then, the author proceeds by individually discussing three fundamental types of sources that are structurally tied to the historical long-term processes in metal scenes: concert flyers, album covers and band T-shirts. Research into the Styrian metal scene in south-eastern Austria provides examples. To conclude, it is posited that starting from a semiotic concept of source criticism and then adapting such a concept for the specific purposes of metal studies is necessary to nurture historical awareness and the accuracy of relevant research.

Abstract: “The term “female metalhead” may sound rather abstract. What does she look like and what does she think? Is there a typical female metalhead? This article summarizes qualitative research on woman’s motivational resources for participation in the contemporary Czech metal subculture. It discusses factors related to why women listen to metal and the role of men in this process. The research is based on seventeen semi-structured interviews with women in Czech metal. Respective research questions focus on female metalheads’ understanding of their position inside the subculture, their visual appearance, reasons for inclination to metal (e.g., partner’s influence or an attraction to the metal community), the issue of sex symbols in the metal industry, and issues of elitism and exclusivity. Results show that women within the metal subculture strike a balance between masculinity and femininity and often judge their surroundings from the perspective on these two poles. However, the primary inspiration still drives from the male perspective with its typical visual and musical characteristics.”
“This article is a reworked version of Gabriela Stašová’s paper Za vším hledej muže? Motivační zdroje poslechu metalu u ženského publika (A man behind everything? Motivational sources of metal listening among female audiences) presented at the 5th Czech Conference about Metal (Brno, 2021) on the theme scenes, gender, identities. Due to its topic, the conference (with Stašová’s contribution in particular) received a broad response from the public and aroused controversy within a sector of Czech metal subculture. The controversy centered on the perception that the study of gender problematics (gender studies) and metal studies – as well as the social sciences and humanities in general-–are useless pursuits (see Miroslav Vrzal’s article in this issue)” (Source for both: this article)
