You actually hit on the very literature I'm interested in. Where I'm going with all of this is to try to understand the founding of modern schooling at the turn of the century as a technology for controlling the degeneracy of youth. Obviously that ties in very much with the youth subculture literature in an odd sort of way, in as much as those subcultures are seen as threats to capitalist-heterosexual production. Of course, Willis's lads reproduce that production in the end so... how degenerate were they?

The fact that YOUNGER persons are leading in that field are a threat to all specialists that hate the fact that here they(elders)have to accept superiority of YOUNGERS and this behaviour is being reflected(mirroring-process)in treatment of writers(graffiti)which is a TESTING FIELD finding out how to combat questions for power-share from young persons...sooner and/or later.This also is being documented in ARTIFICIALLY PROLONGEND ADOLESCENCES.....now you may wait till you`re 30.....before making money and being permitted to decide. ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 17 Jul 1997 02:01:13 -0400 Reply-To: Sci-Cult Science-as-Culture Sender: Sci-Cult Science-as-Culture From: Axel Thiel Subject: nuclear culture second annotation to Jennifer Millers query Atomic finds AND automations ore TWO sides of ONE process.They are interlinked.So atomic culture is being destined by these processes that make INCREASES inproduction possible by LOWERING of working persons and this all going along with RISING population on this planet. In"modern"countries-undustries shift to cheap labour countries-this means a rising numbers of persons are SURPLUSLIVES,state/society cannot offer them a living/work/job etc.any more. This"wedged-into-between"situation is turning places into INIMICAL territories especially if you do not have enough money to pay admission fees if you want to go places. Checking developements I found that increase of private property(which includes privileges)means a LESSENING of free roaming spaces which means the places you still may go to for free there is an INTENSIFIED psychological(invisible)pressure induced by numbers of persons moving there.You also may proof this by counting announcements:no admittance,access denied,keep off,private property,no trespassing and so on. This is generating a very difficult"social world"especially for children.......as they already may grow up noticing(unconsciously)into what kind of psychological climate they are being born into.I found-doing graffiti-research now for 20 years-that writers(sprayers)are a cohort of persons that have a sensitivity for these SOCIAL CHANGES and react to them by bringing what is bugging them to the OUTSIDE and projecting some problems onto available walls.We have sufficient knowledge from art-therapy to be able to see a certain self-therapeutic aspect here and we also know that communication is a must in life.If you are able to get rid of what ails you(safety-valve-function)you`re able to step back and have(distance)another(2.)look at what has been there.It might keep you mentally sane...... Work/jobs becoming scarce adult society has to have instruments to control younger generation despite the fact in more sections the importance of FUTURE=next generation is increasing. You may say this has always been the case,with one slight change,automatisation having started certain processes that NEVER before existed in history.The situation that"modern"societies do NOT NEED their populaces any more and young persons are being hard put to find their ways into a society that on certain levels is doing PSYCHO-SOCIAL ABORTIVE things. Definitely after 1945 SOCIAL problems are continually on the rise and this despite the fact never before in history we have had so many"specialists"that seem not to be able to solve problems any more.....

We may say that the aftereffects of the atomic-electronic revolution are bringing about the"splitting"of persons and groups(fragmentation)that ends in the weakening of BONDING/LOVING abilities.

Contributions are invited on the full diversity of political, historical and sociological issues that are linked to science and technology. All interested staff and students are welcome to attend. Postgraduate students from the University of Wollongong Science and Technology Studies Program invite abstracts and expressions of interest for a weekend conference at the University of Wollongong, 20-21 September 1997. Science and Technology Studies (STS) encompass a broad range of approaches to understanding science and technology and their social relations. The Forging New Links Conference provides an ideal opportunity for aspiring scholars to present ideas and research results drawn from their study. Submissions are welcome from students in STS and other science, humanities and policy fields whose research or interests intersect with some aspect(s) of science and/or technology. It is envisaged that the conference will have a strong interdisciplinary foundation, as well as a mixture of contemporary and historical papers. This is a unique opportunity for students to present their papers, receive feedback and exchange ideas with peers and academic leaders. A selection of the best papers from the conference will be reviewed for publication in an STS Occasional Paper Series. Students may also be encouraged to seek publication in journals.
