  • No. R-471. House Concurrent Resolution Congratulating the 2010
    No. R-471. House concurrent resolution congratulating the 2010 University of Vermont Catamounts men’s ice hockey team on its performances in the Hockey East and NCAA tournaments. (H.C.R.316) Offered by: All Members of the House of Representatives Offered by: All Members of the Senate Whereas, repeatedly throughout the 2009–2010 men’s ice hockey season, the University of Vermont (UVM) Catamounts displayed their considerable playing skills, and Whereas, the Catamounts’ winning ways were especially on display at Gutterson Fieldhouse, where they finished the season with a commendable 10–5–3 record, and Whereas, at the Hockey East tournament, the Catamounts, despite being ranked eighth in the ten-team conference, twice defeated the top-seeded University of New Hampshire in a best of three-game elimination round, and Whereas, these victories, which surprised many college hockey observers, raised UVM from 19th to 14th nationally in the USCHO.com/CBS College Sports Poll, and more critically in the Pairwise Ratings, the formula the NCAA uses to select its 16 men’s hockey tournament teams, and Whereas, the No. 14 Catamounts traveled to St. Paul, where they faced the No. 5 University of Wisconsin Badgers in first-round NCAA competition, and Whereas, the Badgers scored the opening first-period goal, but the Catamounts minutes later evened the score, and VT LEG 259005.1 No. R-471 Page 2 Whereas, UVM scored again, creating a 2–1 Catamount lead at 15:44 of the first period, and Whereas, the Catamounts’ good fortune proved temporary, as the Badgers scored

  • Är Det Här Amerika?
    Är det här Amerika? En kvalitativ studie om musikvideon “This is America” och dess plats i den samhälleliga kontexten. Is This America? A qualitative study about the music video “This is America” and its position in the social context. Philip Alfredsson & Wictor Palmgren Fakulteten för humaniora och samhällsvetenskap Medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap/Kommunikation & PR (program) C-uppsats - 15 hp Emilia Ljungberg HT 2018 Sammanfattning Att musik väcker känslor är nog något som vi alla kan komma överens om. Musiken kan få oss att skratta, gråta, dansa, ja, alla känslouttryck kan skapas genom den. Och kanske är den ultimata låten den som får oss att känna allting på en och samma gång, och får oss att vilja lyssna på den om och om igen. Vissa låtar med tillhörande musikvideos exploderar och får miljoner, för att inte tala om miljarder, klick. Musiken kan ibland bli mer än bara en låt, och folk kan bli sittandes och diskutera dess mening i timtal. Låten ​This is America​, med tillhörande musikvideo, är en sådan. Den här studien redogör för den videons beståndsdelar, hur den anspelar med den nutida politiska kontexten och vad för eko den har skapat till omvärlden. För att ta reda på hur videon blivit så populär författade vi en övergripande frågeställning som löd: “Hur ska vi förstå meningsskapandet i ​This is America​?”. Utifrån vår forskningsöversikt, kunde vi finna att ett popkulturellt fenomens mångtydighet och öppenhet till tolkning, bäddar för dess popularitet. Genom historien finns det även fog för att musik som är sprungen ur utanförskap och som kritiserar samhället, har möjlighet att bli än mer populär.
