Get that Freak by Rebecca Haskell,Brian E. Burtch Pdf

In recent years parents and teachers have become increasingly concerned about bullying in schools, and bullying has attracted significant attention as people seek explanations and solutions. Despite this attention, there is little discussion about homophobic and transphobic bullying in Canadian high schools. Get That Freak fills that gap by exploring the experiences of bullying among youth who identify or are identified as queer. Through interviews with recent high school graduates in British Columbia, Haskell and Burtch share stories of physical, verbal and emotional harassment and offer important insights into the negative outcomes that result from being bullied. Challenging the familiar image of these youth as helpless victims, this book also recognizes positive outcomes: moments of resistance, friendship and inner strength. Taking the lead from the youth, the authors make recommendations for challenging homophobic and transphobic bullying in high schools and for supporting students who experience this form of harassment. In this engaging and enlightening book, youth share their feelings of rage and hurt, joy and triumph, as they reminisce about the experience of being queer in high school. Book jacket.

Freak When Spoken To by Åsa Anastasia Jonsen Pdf

What is Freak Kitchen, and where do they come from? Anyone hearing the band’s trademark eclectic heavy metal is bound to ask the same questions. The lyrics do not even remotely resemble anything you ever heard before: satire, humor and attitude blend together in something quite out of the ordinary. Let’s put it this way: how many other major rock acts have you heard discussing topics such as infidelity, organ transplant trading, anal bleaching and neo nazism among soccer mums to some of the grooviest metal anthems ever heard? The music is straightforward to the ear, yet infinitely intricate to the mind, borrowing influences from all over the world in a way we haven’t heard since the late Frank Zappa roamed the earth. Mattias ”IA” Eklund is certainly a driving force, the guitarman and singer who gave a whole new meaning to the expression ”go your own way”. But nothing happens without the entire trinity of Björn, Christer and Mattias on the wagon, and in this massively well researched biography by seasoned Metal Journalist Åsa Anastasia Jonsén you get to follow the Freak in detail from day one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FZiD9e2eoQ

Vinyl Freak by John Corbett Pdf

From scouring flea markets and eBay to maxing out their credit cards, record collectors will do just about anything to score a long-sought-after album. In Vinyl Freak, music writer, curator, and collector John Corbett burrows deep inside the record fiend’s mind, documenting and reflecting on his decades-long love affair with vinyl. Discussing more than 200 rare and out-of-print LPs, Vinyl Freak is composed in part of Corbett's long-running DownBeat magazine column of the same name, which was devoted to records that had not appeared on CD. In other essays where he combines memoir and criticism, Corbett considers the current vinyl boom, explains why vinyl is his preferred medium, profiles collector subcultures, and recounts his adventures assembling the Alton Abraham Sun Ra Archive, an event so all-consuming that he claims it cured his record-collecting addiction. Perfect for vinyl newbies and veteran crate diggers alike, Vinyl Freak plumbs the motivations that drive Corbett and collectors everywhere.

Freak Show Legacies by Gary S. Cross Pdf

Society has long been fascinated with the freakish, shocking and strange. In this book Gary Cross shows how freakish elements have been embedded in modern popular culture over the course of the 20th century despite the evident disenchantment with this once widespread cultural outlet. Exploring how the spectacle of freakishness conflicted with genteel culture, he shows how the condemnation of the freak show by middle-class America led to a transformation and merging of genteel and freak culture through the cute, the camp and the creepy. Though the carnival and circus freak was marginalised by the 1960s and had largely disappeared by the 1980s, forms of freakish culture survived and today appear in reality TV, horror movies, dark comedies and the popularity of tattoos. Freak Show Legacies will focus less on the individual 'freak' as 'the other' in society, and more on the audience for the freakish and the transformation of wonder, sensibility and sensitivity that this phenomenon entailed. It will use the phenomenon of 'the freak' to understand the transformation of American popular culture across the 20th century, identify elements of 'the freak' in popular culture both past and present, and ask how it has prevailed despite its apparent unpopularity.

Freak Camp by Laura Rye,Bailey R. Hansen Pdf

Monsters are evil, so why does Jake want to rescue one? Tobias can't remember why he was locked inside Freak Camp when he was five. All he knows are the camp rules: Other monsters are not your friends. Never disobey the guards. Don't expect anything to get better. The world is safer with him behind these iron-reinforced walls. But then he meets a hunter's son who defies all the rules. Jake is not just the only bright spot in his world but proof that goodness exists. The heir to a long line of monster hunters, Jake's only purpose is to stamp out evil. He carries his faith that all monsters are evil to the government-run Freak Camp, where shy, sweet-natured Tobias shakes up all he's ever known and shifts his purpose from hunting monsters to protecting one. Two lonely boys, damaged in different ways, find themselves drawn together despite the odds. Freeing Tobias into a world where he can define his own rules could cost Jake his family and the only life he's ever known. But failure carries an even higher price, for Tobias’s life hangs in the balance. FREAK CAMP is the first book in A Monster By Any Other Name, a slow-burn M/M paranormal romance series for adult readers. Book One is the hurt that leads to the comfort, and each book has a happy for now/happily ever after. Content notes: scenes include abuse and neglect of children, sexual and physical assault, institutional dehumanization, and reference to domestic violence causing a miscarriage. Please see the full content notes inside the book or on the Freak Camp website before reading.
