starbucks and nottingham uni

* last academic year, Starbucks coffee was placed in Hallward Library
without any prior student consultation.
* there was a popular and persistent student-lead campaign to have the
Starbucks coffee replaced by a proper fairtrade supplier. This included
regular coffee stalls and a petition with hundreds of student signatures.
* The Students Union (which the University is supposed to listen to)
passed a motion condemning the presence of Starbucks on campus.
* A university-wide poll indicated that 56% of students would prefer a
proper fairtrade alternative, even if this were more expensive (which it
needn't be necessarily).
* Starbucks are a very large, unethical, non-fairtrade, multinational,
with a poor record on workers rights and environmental standards.
* Despite all of the above, the University authorities have not replaced
the Starbucks coffee in Hallward and are continuing to ignore student
opinion.
* The Universitys' failure to replace Starbucks is undemocratic and
unacceptable. Starbucks must be replaced with an ethical alternative as
soon as possible.

Janis Joplin and Dick Cavett

"...they just always holdin´ up something more than they´re prepared to give"(Joplin, 1970).


Most people will remember Janis Joplin as a "tragic heroin" that died from drug abuse.
However, there is far more to her bio than just her death that needs to be acknowledged in the light of her rebellion against male music rebellion that suppressed her as a woman.

Some quotes from Maria Raha`s book "Hellions- Pop Culture’s Rebel Women" (2008, Seal Press)

- She was an "outsider" and "outrider"(p.67).

- "It was Joplin’s utter fearlessness of being herself- a single, wild, uncontrollable, unapologetic woman in a pressure- cooker culture wincing at authentic difference- that made her contribution so startling and confrontational , and simultaneously such a challenge for her in her personal life" (p.65).

- "gender bending"(p. 65)

- "...Joplin infused the dialogue with unconventional ideas and shifted boundaries of outcast women’s acceptable public behaviour"(p. 66).

- "broke a bottle over Jim Morrison’s head"

- "got ready to hit rock´ n roll performer Jerry Lee Lewis" (p. 65).

However, this is just an appetizer. The book costs some 16 dollars at the moment.

Stay where the pepper grows- a perspective on punk

Clark Kerr, AVOID TOTAL INVOLVEMENT

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Clark Kerr, Chancellor of the University of California at Berkeley, from a speech made in the mid-1950s:

The danger is not that loyalties are divided today but that they may be undivided tomorrow. . . . I would urge each individual to avoid total involvement in any organization; to seek to whatever extent lies within his power to limit each group to the minimum control necessary for performance of essential functions; to struggle against the effort to absorb; to lend his energies to many organizations and give himself completely to none; to teach children, in the home and in the school, "to be laws unto themselves and to depend on themselves," as Walt Whitman urged us many years ago--for that is the well source of the independent spirit.

Stevie Smith´s pleasures of friendship

The pleasures of friendship are exquisite,
How pleasant to go to a friend on a visit!
I go to my friend, we walk on the grass,
And the hours and moments like minutes pass.

"This is the age of the candid memoir." So it seems. It's a good thing, we agreed, because talking to each other about who we are can make us mutually all human. Demonizing Others is the first stop on the railway to the gas chambers"

love and hate

Vive La Vie Boheme- Rising like Phoenix from the ashes

Liebe Leser,
was soll ich sagen. Mein Leben macht wieder Sinn. Es war mal ganz nett fast ein Jahr lang nur Studentin zu sein, die sich nebenher ihre Brötchen verdient. In UK war ich nicht so hinter der Kultur her, wie ich es anfänglich geplant hatte. Andere Dinge standen im Vordergrund.
Allerdings was mir doch sehr gefehlt hat war das Radio bzw. die hiesige Konzertkultur und die Leute, die meine Interessen verstehen. Menschen, die nachvollziehen können was mir das bedeutet.

Was also Sache ist:
Ja, ich will wieder nachts durch Clubs streifen. Ich will meine Kamera auf extatische Entertainer richten, die sich ganz in ihrem Element befinden. Ich will wieder auf Veranstaltungen gehen, wo ich mich frei und ungezwungen fühlen kann. Ich begehre diese geistig und emotional stimulierende Gegenwelt zum drögen, grauen Unialltag in dem ich ausschließlich eine durch und durch gemaßregelte Konsumentin bin.. Ich will wieder Filmchen produzieren, Reviews schreiben, interessant Leute für die Show angeln etc.
Und auch wenn das jetzt nach Borderline- Krankheit oder Genusssucht klingt: ich will verdammt noch mal etwas spüren, Leute! Ich will das all meine Sinne angesprochen werden.

Liebe Grüße, Annabell de Rocketoire

Immer besten informiert:
