More recently, studies have neglected content analysis due to perceived homogeneity in themes, despite evidence that the modern genre is distinct from its past. As lyrical patterns are strong markers of genre, this study attempts to characterize heavy metal in the 21st century by analyzing lyrics for specific themes and perspectives. Citing evidence that the “Millennial” generation confers significant developments to popular culture, the contemporary genre is termed “Millennial heavy metal” throughout, and the study is framed accordingly.

  • Exploring the Chinese Metal Scene in Contemporary Chinese Society (1996-2015)
    "THE SCREAMING SUCCESSOR": EXPLORING THE CHINESE METAL SCENE IN CONTEMPORARY CHINESE SOCIETY (1996-2015) Yu Zheng A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS December 2016 Committee: Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Esther Clinton Kristen Rudisill © 2016 Yu Zheng All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeremy Wallach, Advisor This research project explores the characteristics and the trajectory of metal development in China and examines how various factors have influenced the localization of this music scene. I examine three significant roles – musicians, audiences, and mediators, and focus on the interaction between the localized Chinese metal scene and metal globalization. This thesis project uses multiple methods, including textual analysis, observation, surveys, and in-depth interviews. In this thesis, I illustrate an image of the Chinese metal scene, present the characteristics and the development of metal musicians, fans, and mediators in China, discuss their contributions to scene’s construction, and analyze various internal and external factors that influence the localization of metal in China. After that, I argue that the development and the localization of the metal scene in China goes through three stages, the emerging stage (1988-1996), the underground stage (1997-2005), the indie stage (2006-present), with Chinese characteristics. And, this localized trajectory is influenced by the accessibility of metal resources, the rapid economic growth, urbanization, and the progress of modernization in China, and the overall development of cultural industry and international cultural communication. iv For Yisheng and our unborn baby! v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS First of all, I would like to show my deepest gratitude to my advisor, Dr.

NAACL-HLT 2021 will be a virtual conference. The system demonstration track invites submissions ranging from early prototypes to mature production- ready systems. This year we received 42 submissions, of which 17 were selected for inclusion in the program (acceptance rate 40.5%) after reviewed by three members of the program committee. This is the first year NAACL-HLT incorporates ethical considerations in the review process. In the standard review stage, members of the program committee are given the option to flag a paper as needing separate ethics reviews. Papers flagged as needing separate ethics reviews by at least one members from the program committee are subsequently reviewed by two members from the NAACL-HLT 2021 ethics committee. In total, 4 papers went through the subsequent ethics review stage, of which 1 was offered conditional acceptance, 2 were accepted as it is and 1 was deemed as a false positive flag. The conditionally accepted paper was re-reviewed by the ethics committee post camera-ready submission and accepted to the program based on addressed ethical concerns.

  • Schenley Plaza and Schenley Park and the Built Environment That Surrounds Both of These Historic Pittsburgh Spaces
    FRICK FINE ARTS LIBRARY SCHENLEY PLAZA, SCHENLEY PARK & ENVIRONS Library Guide Series, No. 11 “Qui scit ubi scientis sit, ille est proximus habenti.” -- Brunetiere* Introduction Pittsburgh’s Oakland neighborhood was originally designed to be the city’s cultural showcase during the end of the nineteenth and early years of the twentieth centuries. It was the time when model suburbs and the “City Beautiful” movement flowered in urban areas of the country. In Pittsburgh the effort to build a park system in Pittsburgh was inspired by parks and urban development in American and European cities. The park movement in this country was launched in the 1850s with the creation of New York’s Central Park designed by Frederick Law Olmstead. Such beautification projects grew from the beliefs of Progressive era reformers responding to rapid growth, over crowding and burgeoning social inequalities in the nation’s cities. Leaders believed that healthful relaxation and pure park air, in contrast, to the hectic and polluted mechanized world of the city, would benefit city dwellers by offering rest for the tired body and weary soul. In addition, reformers believed that parks could improve nature with landscape design, statuary and recreational facilities that would elevate citizens’ attitudes and behavior and inspire civic pride. It was in such an intellectual milieu that Pittsburgh’s park system began as a part of the new Civic Center beginning to rise in Oakland near the end of the nineteenth century. That center would eventually include Carnegie Institute (1895) and Hotel Schenley (1898), as well as other monumental buildings (some of which can not be viewed from Schenley Plaza) such as Soldiers and Sailors Memorial, Pittsburgh Athletic Club and Masonic Temple in addition to University of Pittsburgh buildings like the Cathedral of Learning (1937), Stephen Foster Memorial Building (1937) and Heinz Chapel (1938).
