Home of Metal, Wolverhampton & human rights

Ein interessanter Tagungsbericht der Home of Metal-Tagung hat es über die Times in die Times of Higher Education geschafft:

"The Times covered a two-day conference on heavy metal at the University of Wolverhampton on 5 September in a piece unlikely to dispel the popular misconception that academics tend towards self-indulgence. Scott Wilson, professor in media and cultural studies at Kingston University, cranked the absurdity up to 11 when he told the newspaper of his experiences playing a Motörhead song to a class. "Someone knocked and said: 'Can you turn it down, there's a physics exam next door.' Turn it down? It's Motörhead. It's my right as a teacher to play the music at the volume it should be," he said, identifying a hitherto unknown facet of human rights law."

Das wars dann auch schon - mehr scheints darüber nicht zu berichten zu geben... Macht aber nichts: die Anweisung ist auch so klar genug. Mehr Motörhead auch in deutschen Vorlesungshallen...
