    PERFORMED IDENTITIES: HEAVY METAL MUSICIANS BETWEEN 1984 AND 1991 Bradley C. Klypchak A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2007 Committee: Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Dr. John Makay Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Ron E. Shields Dr. Don McQuarie © 2007 Bradley C. Klypchak All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Between 1984 and 1991, heavy metal became one of the most publicly popular and commercially successful rock music subgenres. The focus of this dissertation is to explore the following research questions: How did the subculture of heavy metal music between 1984 and 1991 evolve and what meanings can be derived from this ongoing process? How did the contextual circumstances surrounding heavy metal music during this period impact the performative choices exhibited by artists, and from a position of retrospection, what lasting significance does this particular era of heavy metal merit today? A textual analysis of metal- related materials fostered the development of themes relating to the selective choices made and performances enacted by metal artists. These themes were then considered in terms of gender, sexuality, race, and age constructions as well as the ongoing negotiations of the metal artist within multiple performative realms. Occurring at the juncture of art and commerce, heavy metal music is a purposeful construction. Metal musicians made performative choices for serving particular aims, be it fame, wealth, or art. These same individuals worked within a greater system of influence. Metal bands were the contracted employees of record labels whose own corporate aims needed to be recognized.

  • Map of Israel Poster
    Information for the Homeland – My Israel posters Map of Israel poster Eilat Eilat is the southernmost city in Israel. It is located on the shores of the Red Sea and borders with Egypt and Jordan. Through the ages Eilat was a commerce- and port-town and a hub for copper trading. In the Bible it is mentioned several times by the name Ezion Geber. Eilat was conquered in the War of Independence and the raising of the Ink Flag at the Umm Rashrash Police Station symbolized the end of the war. After Operation Kadesh (Suez Crisis) Eilat’s access roads were improved, an airport was built, and it was developed as a port city and tourist attraction. Today there is a constant struggle between nature and environment preservation and developmental plans for the port, hotels, and tourist and recreational facilities. Trees suitable to the arid environment were planted in the Holland Park at the city entrance. The city also has a bird-watching center which was developed with the help of the KKL-JNF. Jerusalem Jerusalem, the capital of Israel, is the biggest city in Israel. The city is located centrally at the heart of the Judean Mountains, on the national watershed ridge between the Mediterranean Sea and the Dead Sea. Jerusalem is sacred to Judaism, Christianity, and Islam and contains sites which are hallowed by the three religions. Throughout history the city went Beer-Sheva through much turmoil and many Beer-Sheva, the Capital of the Negev, wars and it passed through the is the second largest city in size in Israel hands of many rulers who seized and seventh in its population.

By all accounts, 2019 has been our best year yet and that’s saying something for an organization with a 118-year history. We have, and continue, to make a difference in the Jewish world and we are uniquely situated to realize our strategic vision of building and connecting young and old alike to our ancestral soil. Your investment as a partner with Jewish National Fund is critical to our achievement. We must inspire and engage the next generation to continue the legacy of our people; we connect thousands of our young people from the United States to the land and people of Israel better than anyone through our platform, “from birth to the boardroom.” When I meet our teenagers and our JNFuture members (22 to 40-year-olds), the fastest growing segment of our donor base, their enthusiasm and passion for Israel is clear.

Although the members of the subcommittee do not want to make definitive judgments on the applicability of education in Israel to American needs, they are most favorably impressed by the great emphasis which the Israelis place on early childhood programs, vocational/technical education, and residential youth villages. The people of Israel are considered profoundly dedicated to the support of education at every level. The country works toward expansion of opportunities for education, based upon a belief that the educational system is the key to the resolution of major social problems. In the second part of the report, the detailed itinerary of the subcommittee is described with annotated comments about the places and persons visited. In the last part, appendixes describing in great depth characteristics of the Israeli education system (higher education in Israel, education and culture, and the kibbutz) are reprinted.
