Abstract:
The suicide of rock star Kurt Cobain in 1994 raised immediate concerns among suicidologists and the public at large about the potential for his death to spark copycat suicides, especially among vulnerable youth. The Seattle community, where Cobain lived and died, was especially affected by his sudden death. An overview of Cobain's life and death is presented and various crisis center and community‐based interventions that occurred are discussed. Preliminary data collected from the Seattle Medical Examiner's Office and from the Seattle Crisis Center to assess the potential impact of Cobain's de

Abstract:
AbstractThis article investigates the relationship between biography and authenticity within the aesthetics of grunge musician Kurt Cobain, using the 2002 Riverhead Press volume of his journals as a primary source. Focusing on Cobain's fascination with the human form and with bodily fluids, I argue that his idea of the ‘sick body’ functioned as a central metaphor that shaped his approach to various media (prose, lyrics, drawing and singing) such that there was a homology between these different forms. I draw on excerpts from the Journals to show the meanings that he associated with the ‘sick b

Abstract:
De acuerdo a los estudios sobre cinco casos clínicos realizados por Martín Hopenhayn sobre la razón irónica, el autor defne a esta racionalidad como un modo que impugna la racionalidad que prevalece en un momento histórico y que en cada caso opera de distinta manera. Siguiendo la línea de los trabajos realizados por Hopenhayn, el presente trabajo se propone mostrar que la obra y vida del músico estadounidense Kurt Cobain fue un caso de razón irónica.

A treinta años de la muerte de Kurt Cobain, es de interés preguntarnos por la excepcionalidad que la cultura pop ha asignado al líder de Nirvana, cuestión sobre la cual la semiótica puede brindar algunas respuestas. Propongo, para ello, revisar una lección tardía de Yuri Lotman que, en torno a las biografías, se ocupa de definir lo inusual que encarnan sujetos ejemplares que se arriesgan a disputar la norma. Las premisas de Lotman sobre el exceso semiótico encontrarían cauce en la cultura posmoderna, en especial en una subje

Abstract:
This article examines the use of epistrophe, a rhetorical technique involving the repetition of phrases or words at the end of successive clauses, across different mediums and eras, focusing on Abraham Lincoln's speeches and Kurt Cobain's lyrics. The study contrasts how epistrophe enhances emotional and rhetorical appeal in both political oratory and music. Findings indicate that while epistrophe unifies and reinforces themes in Lincoln's speeches, it intensifies emotional expression in Cobain's lyrics. The article suggests further research into other rhetorical devices and the cultural signif

This approach allows the researcher to capture the uniqueness of a subject and thus provide an interesting understanding of that individual. The study is a case study of Kurt Donald Cobain.

Looking through the lens of iconic singers Ian Curtis of Joy Division and Kurt Cobain of Nirvana, Joy Devotion examines how social interest groups feed the canon of the martyred crooner, creating a postmortem posse of mythologized figures from the threads of actuality.

The feeling of a narcotic cannot be put to words, just as the sensation one receives from her or his favorite artwork is impossible to record. Equally, both these delicacies of modern existence must be sought out. The user/viewer only gets a tiny taste and must therefore keep coming back for more. Utopia may be an unrealistic construction of culture, but I would posit the idea the both narcotics and art strive to give us just that – however tiny a taste.

And at least actuarially, in relation to level of overall risk, the good studies provide some helpful grounding. To get at a range of possible dynamics, none universal, in this chapter the author inspects the particular cases of Diane Arbus, Kurt Cobain, and Sylvia Plath. Specifically, the author
