Ripped, torn and cut offers a collection of original essays exploring the motivations behind – and the politics within – the multitude of fanzines that emerged in the wake of British punk from 1976. Sniffin’ Glue (1976–77), Mark Perry’s iconic punk fanzine, was but the first of many, paving the way for hundreds of home-made magazines to be cut and pasted in bedrooms across the UK. From these, glimpses into provincial cultures, teenage style wars and formative political ideas may be gleaned. An alternative history, away from the often-condescending glare of London’s media and music industry, can be formulated, drawn from such titles as Ripped & Torn, Brass Lip, City Fun, Vague, Kill Your Pet Puppy, Toxic Grafity, Hungry Beat and Hard as Nails. The first book of its kind, this collection reveals the contested nature of punk’s cultural politics by turning the pages of a vibrant underground press.

This is the late 1970s and ’80s as explained through the urgent and still-relevant songs of the Clash, the Specials, the Au Pairs, the Style Council, the Pet Shop Boys, and nearly four hundred other bands and solo artists. Each chapter presents a mixtape (or playlist) of songs related to an alarming feature of Thatcher’s Britain, followed by an analysis of the dialogue these artists created with the Thatcherite vision of British society. “Tell us the truth,” Sham 69 demanded, and pop music, however improbably, did. It’s a furious and sardonic account of dark times when pop music raised a dissenting fist against Thatcher’s fascist groove thing and made a glorious, boredom-smashing noise. Bookended with contributions by Dick Lucas and Boff Whalley as well as an annotated discography, The Fascist Groove Thing presents an original and polemical account of the era.

Industry 5.0 is the successor of the 'Industry 4.0' concept which employed high technology in the manufacturing industry. Industry 5.0 is a new idea that adds a human touch to the work of robots and smart machines. The basic idea of humans and machines working together is to increase efficiency and effectivity, like the 'Internet of things' (loT). It aims to merge the increasing cognitive computing abilities of the robots with the intelligence and resourcefulness of the humans. The progress of Industry 5.0 is inevitable. As the technology grows more each day, we find ways to make our work simpler. The development of such technologies to make the world more efficient requires its manufacturers, i.e., humans who collaborate with these machines and technologies. Humans are indispensable resources, as what a machine can do is limited. And with all these efficiencies we have come so far, there is no path leading us back. With adoption of new concepts comes a paradigm shift as development continues and we move from Industry 4.0 which speaks of the "future of production," its primary purpose continues to be achieving seamless connectivity between machines and IT systems for higher productivity and efficiencies across the value chain. Overall, it focuses mainly on traditional financial and operational KPIs. Whereas Industry 5.0 gives a human touch to the concept of 4.0 keeping in mind the well-being of the environment and society, making the machines and humans work together on a path of 'Green Future'. Industry 5.0 has the balance of both humans and technologies which benefits the ecosystem, with discovery of new energy sources and renewable resources, helping in a sustainable working environment. It can be used to reduce harmful residue caused due to manufacturing processes and recycle rare materials. Taking this theme, the multidisciplinary congress on "Industry 5.0 and Paradigm Shift: Emerging Challenges" will highlight research challenges and open issues that should be further developed to realize Industry 5.0.

The historical significance of music-makers, music scenes, and music genres has long been mediated through academic and popular press publications such as magazines, films, and television documentaries. Media Narratives in Popular Music examines these various publications and questions how and why they are constructed. It considers the typically linear narratives that are based on simplifications, exaggerations, and omissions and the histories they construct - an approach that leads to totalizing “official” histories that reduce otherwise messy narratives to one-dimensional interpretations of a heroic and celebratory nature. This book questions the basis on which these mediated histories are constructed, highlights other, hidden, histories that have otherwise been neglected, and explores a range of topics including consumerism, the production pressure behind documentaries, punk fanzines, Rolling Stones covers, and more.
