Title Still life and death metal: painting the battle jacket Type Book Whole
Year (up) 2017 Publication Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords Art history; Battle jackets; Death metal; Fashion; Semiotics; Still lifes; Subcultures
Abstract This thesis aims to conduct a study of battle jackets using painting as a recording and analytical tool. A battle jacket is a customised garment worn in heavy metal subcultures that features decorative patches, band insignia, studs and other embellishments. Battle jackets are significant in the expression of subcultural identity for those that wear them, and constitute a global phenomenon dating back at least to the 1970s. The art practice juxtaposes and re-contextualises cultural artefacts in order to explore the narratives and traditions that they are a part of. As such, the work is situated within the genre of contemporary still life and appropriative painting. The paintings presented with the written thesis document a series of jackets and creatively explore the jacket form and related imagery. The study uses a number of interrelated critical perspectives to explore the meaning and significance of the jackets. Intertextual approaches explore the relationship of the jackets to other cultural forms.

David Muggleton’s ‘distinctive individuality’ and Sarah Thornton’s ‘subcultural capital’ are used to emphasise the importance of jacket making practices for expressions of personal and corporate subcultural identity. Italo Calvino’s use of postmodern semiotic structures gives a tool for placing battle jacket practice within a shifting network of meanings, whilst Richard Sennett’s‘material consciousness’ helps to understand the importance of DIY making practices used by fans. The project refers extensively to a series of interviews conducted with battle jacket makers between 2014 and 2016. Recent art historical studies of still life painting have used a materialist critique of historic works to demonstrate the uniqueness of painting as a method of analysis. The context for my practice involves historical references such as seventeenth century Dutch still life painting. The work of contemporary artists who are exploring the themes and imagery of extreme metal music is also reviewed.

Title CULTURA JUVENIL E IDENTIDAD: ORIGEN Y DESARROLLO DE LA CULTURA DEL METAL EN LA CIUDAD DE LIMA ENTRE LOS AÑOS 1980 Y 2017 Type Book Whole
Year (up) 2017 Publication Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 316
Keywords Youth culture; identity; subculture; cultural construction; metal music
Abstract This research deals with the origin and development of the culture of Metal music in the city of Lima, and how adolescents of that time began the construction of a musical scene and the construction of an identity as individuals and as a community. The initial development of this urban culture took place during the 1980s, a period that was disastrous for Peru, where there was a chaotic context at the political, social level; economic; terror, suffering and above all uncertainty about the future. Between the bombs, death and destruction – facts generated by armed movements – the culture of Metal began to take shape, having as protagonists this group of adolescents; largely as rebellion and rejection about what they had to live. It was a society they did not want to be in. Based on different cultural manifestations (bands, fanzines, concerts, organizations) they began to build their own world, culture and identity. This identity is revaluated and becomes more powerful today when compared with the new generations of metalheads; who, based on the use of technology and a generally more favorable context, also try to participate in this urban culture.

Title A QUALIDADE DE VOZ GUTURAL: APONTAMENTOS PARA UMA CARACTERIZAÇÃO ACÚSTICA E ARTICULATÓRIA. Type Journal Article
Year (up) 2017 Publication Miguilim: Revista Eletrônica do Netlli. Abbreviated Journal
Volume 6 Issue 2 Pages 198-218
Keywords Qualidade de voz, Gutural, Death metal; Voice quality, Guttural, Death metal.
Abstract O gênero musical death metal, subdivisão do heavy metal, tem como característica o emprego de uma voz urrada, distorcida e pouco compreensível. No âmbito da música, essa qualidade de voz é denominada “gutural”, nomenclatura que faz referência, de maneira ampla, a perceptíveis tensões na região da garganta (por isso, “gutural”) observadas por falantes que empregam essa técnica. Tendo em vista que, em estudos sobre qualidade de voz, não existem muitas descrições que abordam tal produção, objetivamos realizar alguns apontamentos que contribuam para a caracterização acústica e articulatória da voz gutural. Para isso, apresentaremos alguns aspectos introdutórios do conceito de qualidade de voz (LAVER, 1980) e, adicionalmente, referências a estudos que possam contribuir para a nossa proposta, como os de Sakakibara et al. (2004) e de Smialek et al. (2012). Além disso, analisaremos espectrogramas da voz empregada nas canções Crucifier Avenged e Hammer Smashed Face, ambas da banda Cannibal Corpse, com o objetivo de descrever as peculiaridades acústicas da voz gutural.

Title Hellbound in El Salvador: Heavy Metal as a Philosophy of Life in Central America Type Book Whole
Year (up) 2018 Publication Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 233
Keywords Communication and the arts; Culture; El Salvador; Heavy metal; Humor; International law; Language, Latin America; Literature and linguistics; Obscenities; Philosophy; Politics; Social sciences; Spanish
Abstract Heavy Metal in El Salvador has been a driving force of the underground culture since the Civil War in the 1980s. Over time, it has grown into a large movement that encompasses musicians, producers, promoters, media outlets and the international exchange of music, ideas and live shows. As a music based around discontent with society at large, Heavy Metal attempts to question the status quo through an intellectual exploration of taboo subjects and the presentation of controversial live shows. As an international discourse, Heavy Metal speaks to ideas of both socio-political and individual power based around a Philosophy of Life that exalts personal freedoms and personal responsibility to oneself and their society. As a community, it represents a ‘rage’ group, as defined by Peter Sloterdijk, that questions Western epistemologies and the doctrines of Christian Philosophy. This is done in different ways, by different genres, but at the heart is the changing of macro- (international) discourses into micro- (local) discourses that focus on those issues important to the geographic specificity of the region.

In the case of Black Metal, born in Norway, it is interpreted in El Salvador through the similarities between the doctrines of Hitler and those of the most famous dictator in the country’s history – General Maximiliano Hernandez – and then applied, ironically, to the local phenomena of the Salvadoran Street Gangs (MS-13 and 18s) and their desired extermination. It is also done through the re-interpreting of folk metal in the local phenomenon of tribal metal that reinterprets the indigenous through the lens of modern society and heavy metal’s ideas of power. Finally, the Salvadoran metalhead adapts the genre’s vulgarity and dark humor to fuel their own systems of dealing with harsh repression and existing within a society that seems to have no place for them. At the bottom though, much more than a community, Heavy Metal in El Salvador is a source of fraternalismo that utilizes the Philosophy of Life to bind its members together and to provide them a means by which to express their personal freedoms within a society that would happily see them limited.
