R.R. 11/13

  1. What is the explicit exigence for the piece you are analyzing? Remember exigence is not simply what the author is writing about but the situation/problem in the world to which she is responding. 
  2. For the author (I mean what is explicitly stated, not simply your interpretation) how is dealing with "No Church in the Wild" or the Peruvian Punk Underground a fitting response to this exigence?
  3. For the author what do we learn from either reading "No Church in the Wild" through Nietzsche or from considering the recording and distribution practices of Narcosis. I want to know what we learn from the reading itself, separate from its relationship to the author's stated exigence.
  4. How does the author connect what he learned from his object of study back to his stated exigence and how does the lesson solve/complicate/enlighten the initial problem?
  5. Make sure to put all of your group members names on the bottom of your response.

    1. The exigence about which Bailey is writing is to "demonstrate the ways in which philosophy concepts can applied to the task gaining a broader understanding of something."
    2. This video is well-known, it also has many concepts (multi-faceted) that can be viewed in different ways. "This image provides us with a fitting point from which to begin an examination of the visual and lyrical message of "No Church in the wild" with in the context of the work of Fredrick Nietzsche."
    3. We learn that Apollonian and Dionysian come together to form tragedy. This takes away from the labels of "good" and "evil" making them more situational and relative to the circumstances surrounding them. "It moves, that is, beyond good and evil and praises life; not for morality or lack of morality, but simply for being life and for simply being able to live."
    4. In the last paragraph, Bailey points to the fact that West may be more Nietzschian than "No Church in the Wild" points out. We get a better scope of Kanye West's morals when the video is viewed using Nietzschian and philosophical principles.

    1. The exigence in this piece is that people believe that philosophical concepts cannot be applied in order to gain deeper understanding.

    2. "No Church In The Wild" serves as an example of how philosophical concepts can be applied to music in order to gain a better understanding. Bailey uses the concepts of Apollo and Dionysus specifically to do this.

    3.We learned about the relationship between Apollo and Dionysus. Bailey tells us that an understanding of this conflict is what makes life "three dimensional", and also "informs our view of any given work of art." Through this, we learned how these deep concepts apply to Kanye's video, and therefore our lives.

    4. The whole discussion of Apollo and Dionysus serves to prove that philosophy is applicable and useful in everyday life.

    1. "The problem of the punk underground is rooted in the fucked up power structure of our totally fucked up system."
    2. The power structure is all about fucking over everyone and that philosophy has started to come into the punk movement. Greene sees that as a problem because the punk movement should be all about under-fucking the system instead of creating an endless cycle of fucking over.
    3. Narcosis used a rudimentary system of recording and distribution to make cassettes instead of CDs that under-fucks the system by refusing to follow the basic capitalist structure.

    1. The explicit exigence for "The Problem of Perus Punk Underground" is that our system underfucks the subcultures, and the problem doesn't get fixed because it's that precise corrupt system that tries to fix it. "The punk critic exposes and defines the problem because he looks for its causes in the fucked upness of the system."
    2. The Peruvian Punk Underground is a fitting response to this exigence because they are greatly underfucked.
    3. "PUNKS OF THE WORLD UNITE TO UNDERFUCK THE SYSTEM!"

    1. The explicit exigence in Greene's essay is that society views its own problems through the lens of its structure, which blinds it to true reform.
    2. The Peruvian Punk Underground is a fitting response to this problem because punk is often viewed through the system of society instead of being seen as a rebellion of the system of itself. It's "under-fucking" is diluted and belittled because the authority it is "under-fucking" tries to understand it through its own "fucked-up" complex.
    3. Narcosis was a Peruvian punk band that circulated the first self-produced, crappy quality cassette release to make the point of protesting clean, packaged, mainstream music.
    4. Greene connects Peruvian punk to his exigence by revealing how the societal perception of punk's "under-fucking" downplays the effect of its rebellious nature. It enlightens people to the fact that punk can be used to reform our current society.
