Re: Humanities Detroit Techno

[Thorin Teague]

It went pretty well, although I should have known I was fooling myself
when I said I'd limit it to half the class period. I'll do some more
research and see what the kids come back with on Wednesday. Then it's
winter break.

I'm actually gonna miss this batch a little bit (which I usually
don't, and I don't mean that in a nasty way but I'm fine with
renewal). But these kids are actually really good, they're all working
hard and going through it.

Thanks for the resources. As long as the department doesn't mind, I'll
be ending my Humanities classes on this note from now on. Maybe the
other professors will want to use this unit too, who knows.

Techno Rebels?

On a slight tangent, Jeremy Deller's "Everybody in the Place" is set in a
British classroom, where he is teaching British teenagers about the impact
of American dance music on Europe at the time. Obviously the context is
probably a bit different to what you would naturally seek out, and it does
drift away from 313, but the documentary itself is far better than the
cookie cutter talking head content we have in most of the better-known
examples. The teaching setting is also a great spectatorial model, and in
terms of the impact on the viewer, it's second-to-none IIMO. It's the best
reference I can think of for the impact of 313 and 312 as cultural exports.
It was made for the BBC, but you may be able to find it on YouTube or his
site (I haven't tried to unearth the links in case international
restrictions apply).
