Through a glass darkly: How Goth reflected and reimagined the Sixties

When Goth emerged as a post-punk music genre and subcultural style in the late 1970s and early 1980s, its references to the past included nineteenth-century Gothic literature and classic Hollywood ‘monster movies’ such as 1931’s Dracula starring Bela Lugosi. Less discussed, however, is Goth’s inclusion of 1960s culture into its repertoire. While the 1960s are often synonymous with the Mod joys of ‘Swinging London’ and the cheerful flower power of San Francisco, it was also a period marked by the popular Hammer Horror films and the real-life terrors of the Moors and Manson Murders. As children of the 1960s, Goth’s originators could not help but reference the sights and sounds that shaped their childhoods. In this light, the music produced by bands such as Siouxsie and the Banshees, the Cure, Bauhaus, The Sisters of Mercy conjure a darker side of that decade. This article assesses how the original wave of Goth musicians drew upon the 1960s to invent a dark psychedelia for a new generation of youth.

Dynamics of the relative values of youth in education and in the labor market

The subject of the study is the process of transformation of youth values in the context of social adaptation in the labor market.The object of the study is the system of social behavior of young people in the context of educational and work activities. The authors investigate in detail the causes of the social risks of youth deprofessionalization. Attention is drawn to the fact that personal values often acquire their "relative" character and are considered by young people in the context of social adaptation. Based on the analysis of the social behavior of young people in the context of educational and work activities, the focus is on the social risks of their deprofessionalization. It is emphasized that the division of values according to the priority of "survival – self-expression" has become key to differentiating the social status of social groups. Higher education plays a key role as an institution, without which it is impossible to implement a model of leadership and sustainable development.General theoretical methods (synthesis, comparison, analogy) were used in the study of value dynamics, general scientific methodological concepts (structural, functional, interpretative) were used in the analysis of scientific and theoretical approaches, secondary data analysis methods (content analysis) were used to study value transformations. The main conclusions of the study are: - the processes of transformation of values in the system of social relations are largely related to the fact that the trajectories of personality development change under the influence of objective and subjective conditions. In this regard, the key role is assigned to the institute of education; - education as a social institution focuses on the dynamics of value transformations and focuses on the socialization of a new generation of youth. The trajectories of professional development determined by him make it possible to reduce "value inflation" and generate demand for the most demanded professional knowledge and competencies for society. The observed process of "value inflation" suggests that social partners have to "tighten" the professional skills of at least a quarter of employed graduates; - the problem of professional development lies in the loss of the value of professional activity itself and leveling the ability of a fixed group of graduates to self-development. We are talking about "relative" values and their binding, on the one hand, to the strategy of adaptation of young people in the labor market, on the other – to sustainable personal growth. The novelty of the research lies in the concretization of the dynamics of the "relative" values of young people in education in relation to the conditions of their social adaptation in the labor market.

Blockchain Rental Platform for College Students Driven by Reward and Punishment Mechanism

For those who are employed nowadays, the living environment largely affects the quality of work. In order to access employment opportunities in first-tier cities, renting an apartment has become a hot social issue for the new generation of youth, and therefore the development of the rental market has gradually become an important part of the economic development. In order to ensure the stable growth of China's market economy and a favorable employment environment for the new generation of Chinese talents, it is necessary to help the new youth group with insufficient social experience to avoid falling into the trap of rental agents and to match with suitable housing, this paper proposes a solution based on a blockchain rental platform driven by reward and punishment mechanisms for college students, focusing on the innovation of specific reward and punishment mechanisms, through the design of coin issuance mechanism, workload determination By designing key components such as coin issuance mechanism, workload determination mechanism, and reputation mechanism, combined with the design of personalized platform functional blocks for college students, the functional operation of this platform is envisioned based on smart contracts, which fills the gap of blockchain renting for college students as well as the refinement of reward mechanism of blockchain renting platform. This design can be applied to build a practical scenario of a blockchain rental platform serving college students and promote the process of upgrading and transforming the traditional rental industry using blockchain technology.

Study on Construct Player Identity and Support the Development of Game Community of "Honor of Kings" and "PUBG"

As an entertainment product with outstanding cultural and commercial attributes, mobile games have penetrated the lives of the new generation of youth and are significant in contemporary China. However, features within the two fields are relatively independent in most research discussions. As the core elements of the industry, the interaction and collaboration between game marketing and player identity construction do not seem to be a popular topic among mainstream researchers. Therefore, this essay tends to extend an infrequent angle with two mobile games with the highest popularity in present China: Honor of Kings and PUBG, and conduct combined theoretical research around the relationship between the game industry chain and the shaping of player identity. Based on the related theories of game marketing structure, the article will research under the standard marketing models of promotional strategies, game mechanics, and player retention. Through the deconstruction and analysis of actual cases, this article demonstrates the marketing processes possess with complementary relationship to the construction of player identity. Such promotion exists in a series of game cultural industry links comprise promotional strategies, engagements during gaming, and user retention, which generates revenue while continuously consolidating the identity recognition among users and player communities.

Italian youth mobility: The case for a Mediterranean model of ‘family-centred’ mobile transitions

This article seeks to advance our understanding of contemporary transnational youth mobility, drawing on the concept ‘mobile transitions’ to explore scholarly approaches to the mobility practices of young Italians moving abroad. We present a critical literature review of the intersections of migration, youth and transition studies to argue that the literature on youth transnational mobility currently features two contrasting models comprising a ‘transitions-focused’ Global South model and an ‘experiential-focused’ Global North model. This bifurcation fails to account for emergent regional models of mobility that may help to sharpen scholarly understandings of a new generation of youth ‘on the move’. We propose an alternative model positioned somewhere along the spectrum between the Global North and Global South models, which we define as the Mediterranean model of ‘family-centred’ transnational youth mobility. This model reflects aspects of both privileged, experiential youth migrations, which tend to undervalue the impact on transitions to adulthood, and economically driven youth migrations, which tend to focus more directly on the economic dimensions of youth to adulthood transitions. The Mediterranean model highlights more broadly how mobility enables and shapes transitions, which are simultaneously driven by both economic imperatives and individual experiential desires, and mediated through family and culture.

ОТ ГОЭЛРО ДО ЭЛЕКТРОРОБОТИЗАЦИИ АПК. К 90-ЛЕТИЮ ФНАЦ ВИМ

For almost 100 years that have passed from GOELRO to the ECO-1VK project (Electro-Robotic organic plants of the 1st modification of Valentin Krausp), new theoretical positions are developed, practical solutions made under the guidance of the founders of scientific schools, including the author of this article, are found and patented, and subsequent scientific and technical, technological and complex interdisciplinary solutions for electrification, automation and electrobotization of agricultural conveyor machine technologies are shown.

Exploring young people's experiences and perceptions of mental health and well-being using photography.

The mental health of young people is a major global public health concern. A shift in focus towards children and young people's mental health in the UK has emphasized young people's voices, as of paramount importance in shaping the path for future quality care provision. The paper examines a study that aimed to explore young people's perceptions of mental health and well-being using photographs. The methodology employed for this study placed young people at the centre of the research process by using photographs to capture their experiences. Ten young people who attended a youth group used disposable cameras to take photographs of their experiences and perceptions of mental health and well-being. Semi-structured interviews with the young people elicited their narratives behind the images. Data were analysed using photo-elicitation and thematic analysis. Young people's experiences of mental health and well-being were internalized and located predominantly in the private and hidden regions of their everyday lives. Stigma, social isolation and marginalization were prevalent whilst spirituality and connection with the environment expressed hope. Mental health appears to be firmly located in the private 'back regions' of young individuals' lives, demonstrating that young people conceptualize these experiences as a vulnerable and hidden part of their being. Understanding the needs of this new generation of youth including the prevalence of stigma, risk of isolation and social exclusion are paramount. Future service provision needs to recognize the extent stigma impacts upon young people's experiences of mental health and well-being.

‘Forgotten’ democracy, student activism, and higher education in Myanmar: past, present, and future

This paper is a historical examination of higher education in contemporary Myanmar, and its relationship to the students, the most important and visible actor in higher education. Reflecting upon dramatic socio-political transitions from the five decades of military rule to partly constitutional democracy that led to major reform and liberation in education, this paper traces the development and destruction of generations of student activists in major Higher Education Institutions since 1962, as well as the emergence of a new generation of youth who are deeply disconnected with their history since 2010. By examining major literature combined with direct observations and in-depth interviews in Myanmar, the authors argue that celebrating heroic student activists is perhaps essential in order to mobilize the public to remember the historical importance of democratization in Myanmar, but it is, at the same time, dangerous to only emphasize the stories of ‘student heroes and martyrs’ without deeply questioning the vulnerabilities of education philosophy, policy, and the very meaning of higher education institutions against regime changes. By examining the exogenous relations with democracy in the wider society of Myanmar, it argues that the future of democracy can only be nurtured, debated, and learned when the endogenous relations to democracy of Myanmar in higher education institutions within are valued.

Spreading the Glee: Targeting a youth audience in the multimedia, digital age

ABSTRACTThe television series Glee premiered on FOX in 2009, a time when broadcast television networks were struggling to remain relevant to a new generation of youth who seemed to prefer the interactivity and creativity of the digital media interface to the passivity of the traditional televisual experience. Amid these conditions, Glee emerged as a (multi)media text/product that found some success. This article argues that much of this success lay in FOX and Glee's harnessing of digital technology, especially social media. Audiences were encouraged to search for “the biggest [self-professed] Gleek,” spread Glee clips and even fan-created content to their friends on social media, and interact with stars, among other things. This investigation considers how the contemporary digital age has reshaped the state of network television, and the complex interactions between traditional and “new” media, by examining the Glee phenomenon between 2009 and 2015.

Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems, From Both Sides of the Atlantic

The American Academy of Pediatrics and the Journal must be commended for warning against electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS): “ENDS have the potential to addict a new generation of youth to nicotine and reverse more than 50 years of progress in tobacco control.”1 This contrasts with hope and even hype from Europe. Public Health England, the executive agency in charge of the nation’s health and well-being, recently … E-mail: braillon.alain{at}gmail.com

Law Fuckers, Cultural Forgers and the Business of Youth Entitlement in Yangon, Myanmar

Myanmar's rolling political and economic transition is being shaped by profound generational change. Little attention has been paid to the priorities and politics of the new generation of youth. This article seeks to explore the construction of Myanmar's elites as a homogenized, unitary, uncontested group through a close examination of elite youth. The article challenges some basic preconceptions about Myanmar's elites. Three primary youth cohorts are appraised and situated in the transition: the entitled business elite, the cultural forgers and the resistant forces. All three groups are privileged in Myanmar society, where their power struggles see efforts to assert degrees of cultural supremacy. Drawing on ethnographic research in Myanmar, the article offers insights into the role of elite youth in Myanmar's future and their perceptions of the present shift of national political and economic policies.

Accelerating Ocean Exploration

Last month, a distinguished group of ocean researchers and explorers convened in Long Beach, California, at the Aquarium of the Pacific to assess progress and future prospects in ocean exploration. Thirteen years ago, U.S. President Clinton challenged a similar group to provide a blueprint for ocean exploration and discovery. Since then, the fundamental rationale has not changed: to collect high-quality data on the physics, chemistry, biology, and geology of the oceans that can be used to answer known questions as well as those we do not yet know enough to pose, to develop new instruments and systems to explore the ocean in new dimensions, and to engage a new generation of youth in science and technology. Recently, however, exploration has taken on a more urgent imperative: to record the substantial changes occurring in largely undocumented regions of the ocean. With half of the ocean more than 10 kilometers from the nearest depth sounding, ecosystem function in the deep sea still a mystery, and no first-order baseline for many globally important ocean processes, the current pace of exploration is woefully inadequate to address this daunting task, especially as the planet responds to changes in climate. To meet this challenge, future ocean exploration must depart dramatically from the classical ship-based expeditions of the past devoted to mapping and sampling.

Il fedele laico realtà e prospettive ed. by Luis Navarro and Fernando Puig (review)

Reviewed by: Il fedele laico realtà e prospettive ed. by Luis Navarro and Fernando Puig Rose McDermott S.S.J. Il fedele laico realtà e prospettive, edited by Luis Navarro and Fernando Puig Milan: Giuffrè Editore, 2012. Pp. v-515. On April 7-8, 2011, the faculty of the Pontifical University of Santa Croce convened to discuss the feasibility of a text on the laity in light of the fiftieth anniversary of the Second Vatican Council and the twenty-fifth anniversary of the apostolic exhortation Christifidelis laici. An interdisciplinary work composed of theological, canonical, and pastoral perspectives on the laity, the text would anticipate the thirteenth Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops on the New Evangelization. Stanislaw Rylko, President of the Pontifical Council for the Laity, introduces Il Fedele Laico Realtà E Prospettive. Six presentations (Relationi) on conciliar teachings and canonical norms on the laity, and a pastoral reflection on [End Page 684] today's society comprise the first section. The second section includes fifteen shorter articles (Communicazioni) on specific topics that impact the vocation of the laity in the mission of the Church. An account of a round table discussion on the laity (Tavola Rotonda) held by five representatives of ecclesial movements and communities the afternoon of April 7th follows. An index of the names of persons cited throughout the text and a bibliography, a compilation of legislative texts and monographs of various authors, complete the work. In his introduction, Rylko emphasizes the importance of emphasizing the Christian identity of the laity; Christ must be central in their lives. As signs of contradiction, the laity expound the doctrine of the Church in the midst of the social, cultural, and political aspects of life. Canobbio reflects on the various models of the Church separated f rom the secular world throughout history. Conciliar teachings open the Church to the world; the Church is a sign and instrument of the Reign of God. While announcing the Word and celebrating the sacraments are constitutive of the Church, they are not separated from the other ministries and apostolates in the Church's mission. Navarro addresses the juridic condition of the laity from the conclusion of the council until the present. He extols the extraordinary work of the code commission, the diverse group of specialists in theology and canon law. Ordered to the temporal order by their juridic condition and secular character, the laity influence family, professions and society. Carriquiry Lecour addresses the laity through an examination of conscience in light of the renewed ecclesiality. He questions how the Church has promoted the eminent dignity of the laity derived from baptism and the teaching of John Paul II in Christifideles laici. He points to the implications of such teachings regarding: the formation of the laity, their areas of concentration in the secular realm, the rapid development of associations or aggregations of the laity, the new generation of youth, and the evolution of women. Villar discusses the Church as a community of priests organically structured and participating in the one Priesthood of Christ. At baptism one shares in the triple munus of Christ, the fundamental vocation of all Christians. The author recognizes the lay and religious vocations as correlative forms of Christian life. While religious announce the eschata and reflect the transcendent nature of the Church; the laity represent the immanence of the Reign of God in family, society, economic, political and cultural avenues of life. Blanco stresses the importance of protecting the liberty and Christian [End Page 685] identity of the laity. He emphasizes the legitimate autonomy of the lay vocation in the temporal order. In their apostolates, the laity depend on and need the moral guidance of the hierarchy, as they address difficult questions. Belardinelli reviews the state of the Western hemisphere from the eighteenth through the twentieth centuries. He notes the gradual secularization of the world and the present crisis that can lead to progress or decadence. The author believes that a catharsis of cultures can take place if the teachings of the Church's magisterium on the dignity of the human person take central stage instead of scientific and technological achievements. The six presentations set the context for the fifteen...

Der Tonwille: Pamphlets in Witness of the Immutable Laws of Music, Offered to a New Generation of Youth (review)

Tonwille: Pamplets Witness of Immutable of Offered to New Generation of Youth, vol. 1. By Heinrich Schenker. Edited by William Drabkin. Translated by Ian Bent. New York: Oxford University Press, 2004. [xx, 231 p. ISBN 0195122372. $150.00.] Index. Der which roughly translates as the will (desire or egotism) of tone is name given by Schenker to series of pamphlets, of roughly fifty pages each, issued between 1921-24 by Universal Edition that contain essays addressing various topics field of music. Considered by its editor to be a central work-in several respects central work-in Schenkerian canon (p. vii), Tonwille contains three basic types of essays: (1) analyses of individual pieces; (2) essays of theoretical nature; and (3) writings of nature. Each issue, moreover, contains section of miscellany (Vermischtes) containing observations on various aspects of music and politics, although it should be noted that each type of essay commentary is not far from surface (p. ix). content of Tonwille chronicles genesis of probing insights into tonal music for which Schenker is known as well as that of accompanying graphic analytic notation. concepts of Urlinie and Ursatz, for example, are expounded upon detail for first time these pamphlets. former receives its first thorough treatment first issue (The Urlinie: A Preliminary Remark), and latter is mentioned for first time miscellanea of issue 5. Taken together, Urlinie and Ursatz form ultimate conceptual basis of Schenker's view of tonal structure. publication of complete translation of Tonwille by Oxford University Press is laudable achievement; Englishspeaking musicians will now have at their disposal most of Schenker's principal theoretical works (the four Erlauterungsausgaben of Beethoven's piano sonatas and Schenker's early journal essays remain untranslated). Prior to this publication, translations into English of individual essays were scattered throughout scholarly literature, with most comprehensive set of excerpts found Robert Joseph Lubben's dissertation (Analytic Practice and Ideology Heinrich Schenker's 'Der Tonwille' and 'Cantata Harmonia Mundi' [Ph.D. diss., Brandeis University, 1995]), which contains translations of twelve of essays. ten pamphlets of Tonwille have been available one volume since 1990 photographic reprint by Georg Olms Verlag with preface by Hellmut Federhofer. subject of this review is first half of new English translation (issues 1-5); second volume containing second half (issues 6-10) is projected for 2005. In analytical essays, of which there are eighteen this volume, of analysis . . . are generally followed by remarks on autograph materials and early editions, and on editorial issues arising from them; recommendations on performance, relation to both analytical and text-critical discussions that precede them; and finally dismissive survey of secondary literature (p. viii). pieces discussed individual essays include six by J. S. Bach, three by Beethoven, two each by C. P. E. Bach, Haydn, and Mozart, and one each by Handel and Schubert. It is unfortunate that, since present volume contains only first five issues of ten that comprise Tonwille, only two-thirds of analysis of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony is present (the final segment occurs sixth issue). theoretical essays, of which there are five, are concerned with such matters as musical structure, history, and perception; but they are more philosophical tone (p. ix). These essays include The Urlinie: A Preliminary Remark, Laws of Art of Music, History of Art of Music, Yet Another Word on Urlinie, and The Art of Listening. political writings include lead essay (The Mission of German Genius) as well as generous sprinkling throughout four sections of miscellany (so much so that, one instance, Emil Hertzka, executive editor of Universal Edition complained that in fourteen pages of 'Miscellanea,' [for issue 2] no topics whatsoever field of music are examined, but only topics field of politics and demagoguery (p. …

Getting to Know Generation X: Health Education for the Thirteenth Generation

Abstract Approximately 80 million Americans ranging in age from 11 to 31 make up the largest group of young adults in American history. This new generation has been dubbed “Generation X.” This article acquaints readers with this new generation of youth as they are described by the popular press and in health education literature. The article describes the following: (1) sociodemographic characteristics, (2) health characteristics as described in Healthy People 2000 and other health education literature, (3) learning characteristics of this generation, (4) the basis for conflict between generation X and the baby boomers, and (5) ways to conduct more effective health education with this generation given their characteristics. Recommendations for health educators, many of whom are baby boomers, to overcome these conflicts and effectively reach this group with health and education messages will be provided.
