In this episode:

“Like making something permanent, from impermanent to permanent. We managed to do that.”


Jessica Schwartz is joined by musician, scholar, and educator Pavla Jonssonová in a conversation tracing punk, feminism, censorship, and subcultural survival across the former Soviet Bloc and beyond. Jonssonová reflects on performing in an all-female band while navigating state censorship, underground music networks, and the shifting political climate of late socialist Czechoslovakia.


Together, they explore women in punk, the afterlives of Riot Grrrl, DIY creativity, and the circulation of subcultural ideas, music, and resistance across borders and generations. In addition, Jonssonová discusses her ongoing work in scholarship, music, and community-based performance projects.


Pavla Jonssonová, PhD. has taught courses at Charles University in Prague, Anglo-American University in Prague, and CIEE Prague. Since her 1998 Fulbright scholarship at UC Santa Cruz, she has specialized in teaching about subcultures. Since 1980, she has performed original music as a founding member of the women’s rock band Zuby nehty, who have produced multiple albums, poetry books, and a film for Czech television.


From Los Angeles and Prague, punk moves across time, borders, and political worlds.


Recorded November 2020.
