Advertising Shits in Your Head

Strategies for Resistance

By: Vyvian Raoul,Matt Bonner

Advertising Shits in Your Head calls adverts what they are—a powerful means of control through manipulation—and highlights how people across the world are fighting back. It diagnoses the problem and offers practical tips for a DIY remedy. Faced with an ad-saturated world, activists are fighting back, equipped with stencils, printers, high-visibility vests, and utility tools. Their aim is to subvert the adverts that control us. With case studies from both sides of the Atlantic, this book showcases the ways in which small groups of activists are taking on corporations and states at their own game: propaganda. This international edition includes an illustrated introduction from Josh MacPhee, case studies and interviews with Art in Ad Places, Public Ad Campaign, Resistance Is Female, Brandalism, and Special Patrol Group, plus photography from Luna Park and Jordan Seiler. This is a call-to-arts for a generation raised on adverts. Beginning with a rich and detailed analysis of the pernicious hold advertising has on our lives, the book then moves on to offer practical solutions and guidance on how to subvert the ads. Using a combination of ethnographic research and theoretical analysis, Advertising Shits in Your Head investigates the claims made by subvertising practitioners and shows how they impact their practice.

Tool

Every Album, Every Song

By: Matt Karpe

Music may not have been the designated career path for the members of Tool when they each relocated to Los Angeles in the 1980s, but the quartet would soon find one another and join forces to become one of the most distinctive acts in the history of rock and metal. Tool On Track documents all of the band’s studio releases, from their raw and unapologetic 1991 demo tape to their 2019 epic, Fear Inoculum, a record thirteen years in the making and an album that would solidify Tool as one of the greatest progressive rock bands of all time. Something of an enigma but an extremely complex and intelligent band, this book goes into considerable depth as it uncovers the stories behind Tool’s engrossing back catalogue. The formulations of pivotal songs such as ‘Sober’, ‘Ænema’, Schism’, ‘Lateralus’ and ‘Rosetta Stoned’ have become stories of legend, and this book has been extensively researched in order to create a valuable reference book that all Tool fans can delve into at their leisure, Also focusing on the band members’ various side-projects and selected guest appearances, as well as acting as a detailed biography, this is the most comprehensive book on the band yet written. An avid music fan, author, and journalist, Matt Karpe has written for multiple print and online magazines over the last decade, including Powerplay and the punk and hardcore publication, Down For Life. Tool On Track is Matt’s sixth book overall, his previous releases being We Own the Night: The Underground of the Modern American Hard Rock Scene; two volumes of Nu Metal: Resurgence, Nu Metal: A Definitive Guide, and Korn On Track. He lives in March, Cambridgeshire, UK.

Margaret Thatcher Queen of Soho

By: Jon Brittain,Matt Tedford

Look at us, Margaret - the press is on our side. We're heroes: the public is behind us, we're protecting our children, the party is united behind the cause. You can stand against it if you want, but you will stand alone. Margaret Thatcher, Britain's first female Prime Minister, gets lost around the streets of Soho on the eve of the vote for Section 28. Unwittingly, she finds herself quickly becoming a cabaret sensation within London's gay community. This camp political drag cabaret explores, through songs and laughter, homophobia and censorship, and how one person could have made a difference. Margaret Thatcher Queen of Soho received its world premiere at London's Theatre503 in June 2013 as part of the Thatcherwrite Festival, and was revived in a full production there in December 2013.

Smoking Insurance and the Cost on Society

By: Matt Segar

Essay from the year 2010 in the subject Sociology - Medicine and Health, grade: A, Bucknell University, language: English, abstract: Throughout world history, civilizations have used tobacco for spiritual rituals, social tools, and pleasure. In the United States, tobacco was a major crop that helped bring wealth to the country. Nowadays, smoking has taken a serious hit socially with many anti-smoking campaigns branching out nationwide. Many proclaim that since smokers are more likely to get ill and rack up healthcare costs, they must pay higher insurance rates. Smoking, however, is a choice that should not correlate to higher insurance costs.

A.I. and Morality

By: Matt Segar

Essay from the year 2010 in the subject Philosophy - Philosophy of the 20th century, grade: A-, Bucknell University, language: English, abstract: Technology is advancing rapidly. In the not so distant future robots may be an integral part of daily life. Ever since the development of the computer, science fiction writers have described worlds in which machines live alongside humans. Coincidently, as technology progresses the ability to tell robots apart from humans could become difficult. Some may argue that robots should not be treated the same way as humans. However, as artificial beings start behaving as if they have minds they should be treated as if they were any other living being.

The Change in Mechanical Philosophy in the Scientific Revolution

By: Matt Segar

Essay from the year 2009 in the subject Philosophy - Miscellaneous, grade: A, Bucknell University, language: English, abstract: Since ancient Greece, philosophers have wondered how objects come into existence. Aristotle proposed that everything was made by one of four reasons or causes. The mechanical cause describes how the object is composed. For instance, the mechanical cause of a tire is rubber. The formal cause describes the plans or pattern of an object, like a blueprint for a house, while the efficient cause is the cause/effect relations of an object, like an artist’s paint and brushes resulting in painting a picture. The final cause, however, is defined as, "the purpose, the good, or the end of something." For example, the final cause of a folder is to store papers.

Hume’s View of Morality Based on Sentiment

By: Matt Segar

Essay from the year 2010 in the subject Philosophy - Philosophy of the 17th and 18th Centuries, grade: A-, Bucknell University, language: English, abstract: For thousands of years, a major issue of moral philosophy has been whether morality is based on reason or sentiment. In ancient Greece, some viewed morality as being a matter of feelings while others believed that goodness was a matter of intelligence. Hume discusses each view in his Enquiry Concerning the Principles of Morals. However, Hume comes to the conclusion that, “morality is determined by sentiment”.
