[Dancecult-l] Question for those that dare...

[Adam Walker]

G'day to all!

We haven't had a thread on this list for a while now, so I thought that I 
would put this out to you guys.  I am writing a piece that has to focus 
around the Anthropology of violence, and have decided to investigate the 
aspects of EDMC that characterise it as a 'culture of peace'.  Of course the 
slant is highlighted mostly by the comparison between EDMC and typical 
Western drunken shananigans that often evoke aggression and violence.  My 
working title is:

Doof as a subculture of peace: A comparative analysis of a culture of peace 
amidst a society of violence

While I draw most of my arguement from the litterature on PLUR and examples 
of alcohol fueled violence, I am keen to include discussion on the cross 
over or overlap between the 2 cultures.  Thus I have a question that I am 
surveying in order to retrieve ethnographic data from an emic perspective:

Have you ever experienced or witnessed acts of aggressive violence at a PLUR 
fueled EDMC event, in which the aggressive violence was characterised by 
typical alcohol fueled behaviour?Tell me about it.

Or if you have any stories about (peace/doof):(war/drinkin piss and fightin 
over chicks style outing).

Look forward to your responses.

Adam
