Illusion / anti-illusion: the music of Steve Reich in context, 1965-1968
Full text linkThis dissertation situates the work of Steve Reich during the mid-to-late 1960s in its intricate socio-cultural context. Exploring biographical, hermeneutic, aesthetic, and political implications, it attempts to shed light on the composer’s early years. The historical narrative concentrates on the period between the first instantiation of the phase-shifting technique in 'It’s Gonna Rain, or, Meet Brother Walter in Union Square after Listening to Terry Riley' (1965) and the theoretical treatise ‘Music as a Gradual Process’ (1968). It reaches back, however, to the cultural nexus of San Francisco and ahead to the mercurial gallery scene in New York. In addition, modal compositions from 1966 and 1967 are subject to detailed analyses which question the boundary between ‘impersonal’ process and composerly intervention.
Chapter 1 deals with Reich’s relationship to Process art and Minimalism(s), paying particular attention to where he presented his work and with whom he was associated. Chapter 2 traces his involvement with the San Francisco Tape Music Center, the San Francisco Mime Troupe, and the filmmaker Robert Nelson; problematic issues surrounding race and representation are also considered. Chapter 3 critiques two transitional works: 'Melodica' and 'Reed Phase', the latter representing a striking omission from the accepted Reich canon. Chapter 4 is concerned with the relationship between musical teleology and consumer desire in post-war ‘affluent society’, building on the work of Robert Fink. The conclusion proposes that broader social contradictions of the 1960s can be detected in Reich’s music
Vaccine Hesitancy and Individualism
No full textWhen Jennifer Reich’s Calling the Shots: Why Parents Reject Vaccines came out with New York University Press in 2016, vaccine hesitancy was just beginning to receive national attention. The Disneyland measles outbreak had occurred the year before, and an increasing number of parents were switching to charter schools and home schooling in order to avoid the vaccine requirements of the public-school system. Reich interviewed many of these parents and took their reasoning seriously. She discovered that although their decisions do not make sense from a public health perspective, they were actually privatizing the healthcare decisions relevant to their families in ways being promoted by corporations and the government. What the privatization of health care means for the public sphere was one topic of our conversation. At the end of the interview, Reich links privatization with the growing distrust of governmental and scientific expertise to describe a crisis of knowledge that extends far beyond current vaccine debates

Wilhelm Reich versus the Flying Saucers
No full textThe convenient myth of Wilhelm Reich is that he “lost his mind” in the early 1950s, if not before, and that the last seven years of his life and work — the orgone and radiation experiments, the cloudbuster, and flying saucer intrigues — present an embarrassment. Even the counterculture that embraced Reich, not least William S. Burroughs, Norman Mailer, and filmmaker Dušan Makavejev, tended to distort his theory. The psychosis attached to Reich by his detractors was the culmination of decades of scapegoating by psychoanalysts, Nazis, communists, and conservatives. But Reich’s environmental and Cold War preoccupations and his slow-burning fascination with UFO phenomena were not signs of a madness incipient since his break with Sigmund Freud. They anticipated and reflected much in the American psyche. Defining the presence of a “cinematic self” in the misunderstood analyst once considered an heir to Freud, Wilhelm Reich versus the Flying Saucers rejects orthodox portrayals of Reich’s final years as merely pathological. Combining original analysis and evidence from the Wilhelm Reich Archive, James Reich uncovers the fatal moments in the psychologist’s uncanny identification with the “spaceman,” and the myth of a scientist lost to his own grandiosity and paranoia. Taking seriously the influence of The Day the Earth Stood Still, Bad Day at Black Rock, and other pop cultural narratives on Reich, this “psychoanalytic detective story” concerns existential traps, conscious and unconscious collaborations and betrayals by disciples, and unidentified flying object-relations. Reich’s is an atomic-age passion narrative. Vitally, Reich’s story could be ours. The author is not related to his subject

The evolution of prehistoric archaeology under the Third Reich: as seen in the experiences and work of German archaeologists, Nazis, and the Ahnenerbe Institute
Full text linkThe discipline of prehistoric archaeology changed dramatically under the Third Reich. The Nazis manipulated data provided by archaeologists, anthropologists, ethnologists, linguists, and many more areas of study in order to promote the nationalistic ideology of the National Socialist Party. With this project, I not only wanted to examine in what ways this manipulation was done, but also the implications this exploitation had on the development of prehistoric archaeology itself. In order to accomplish this, I have focused my attentions on the scholars who worked under the conditions of the NS Party. Through these professionals, I saw a wide range of participation and acknowledgement of the conditions of their involvement. The Ahnenerbe Institute was also examined due to its heavy contribution in acquiring and distributing the widely falsified data to the public. This project will contribute in understanding further the affects this period in academic history, as well as world history, had on the prehistoric archaeology
Genius and Genitality: William S. Burroughs Reading Wilhelm Reich
No full textThis article explores the impact of Wilhelm Reich’s theories and writings on the works and thinking of William S. Burroughs. Reich’s significance for Burroughs’ fiction is beyond doubt, as the appearance of Reich’s discoveries and inventions, such as orgones and orgone accumulators, in Burroughs’ major works demonstrates. Yet to date, no attempt has been made in academia to make all those references to Reich in Burroughs’ complete œuvre visible. In order to make the thinking of the Austrian-American psychoanalyst and scientist comprehensible for readers not familiar with Reich, the first section will provide a brief biographical outline. In the subsequent sections, the article will describe how Burroughs and other Beat writers discovered Reich, how and to what extent Burroughs incorporated Reich in his texts throughout his career and what opinions Burroughs expressed about Reich in interviews and letters. For the first time, with a summary as undertaken in this article and by documenting most of the references to Reich in Burroughs’ work, the importance of the former to the latter is revealed in a compact form
