    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.

A quadrilateral is a 4-sided polygon bounded by 4 finite line segments. The word ‘quadrilateral’ is composed of two Latin words, Quadric meaning ‘four’ and latus meaning ‘side’ . It is a two-dimensional figure having four sides (or edges) and four vertices. A circle is the locus of all points in a plane which are equidistant from a fixed point. If all the four vertices of a quadrilateral ABCD lie on the circumference of the circle, then ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral. In other words, if any four points on the circumference of a circle are joined, they form vertices of a cyclic quadrilateral. It can be visualized as a quadrilateral which is inscribed in a circle, i.e.. all four vertices of the quadrilateral lie on the circumference of the circle. What is a Cyclic Quadrilateral?

  • Applying the Polygon Angle
    POLYGONS 8.1.1 – 8.1.5 After studying triangles and quadrilaterals, students now extend their study to all polygons. A polygon is a closed, two-dimensional figure made of three or more non- intersecting straight line segments connected end-to-end. Using the fact that the sum of the measures of the angles in a triangle is 180°, students learn a method to determine the sum of the measures of the interior angles of any polygon. Next they explore the sum of the measures of the exterior angles of a polygon. Finally they use the information about the angles of polygons along with their Triangle Toolkits to find the areas of regular polygons. See the Math Notes boxes in Lessons 8.1.1, 8.1.5, and 8.3.1. Example 1 4x + 7 3x + 1 x + 1 The figure at right is a hexagon. What is the sum of the measures of the interior angles of a hexagon? Explain how you know. Then write an equation and solve for x. 2x 3x – 5 5x – 4 One way to find the sum of the interior angles of the 9 hexagon is to divide the figure into triangles. There are 11 several different ways to do this, but keep in mind that we 8 are trying to add the interior angles at the vertices. One 6 12 way to divide the hexagon into triangles is to draw in all of 10 the diagonals from a single vertex, as shown at right. 7 Doing this forms four triangles, each with angle measures 5 4 3 1 summing to 180°.

  • Properties of Equidiagonal Quadrilaterals (2014)
    Forum Geometricorum Volume 14 (2014) 129–144. FORUM GEOM ISSN 1534-1178 Properties of Equidiagonal Quadrilaterals Martin Josefsson Abstract. We prove eight necessary and sufficient conditions for a convex quadri- lateral to have congruent diagonals, and one dual connection between equidiag- onal and orthodiagonal quadrilaterals. Quadrilaterals with both congruent and perpendicular diagonals are also discussed, including a proposal for what they may be called and how to calculate their area in several ways. Finally we derive a cubic equation for calculating the lengths of the congruent diagonals. 1. Introduction One class of quadrilaterals that have received little interest in the geometrical literature are the equidiagonal quadrilaterals. They are defined to be quadrilat- erals with congruent diagonals. Three well known special cases of them are the isosceles trapezoid, the rectangle and the square, but there are other as well. Fur- thermore, there exists many equidiagonal quadrilaterals that besides congruent di- agonals have no special properties. Take any convex quadrilateral ABCD and move the vertex D along the line BD into a position D such that AC = BD. Then ABCD is an equidiagonal quadrilateral (see Figure 1). C D D A B Figure 1. An equidiagonal quadrilateral ABCD Before we begin to study equidiagonal quadrilaterals, let us define our notations. In a convex quadrilateral ABCD, the sides are labeled a = AB, b = BC, c = CD and d = DA, and the diagonals are p = AC and q = BD. We use θ for the angle between the diagonals. The line segments connecting the midpoints of opposite sides of a quadrilateral are called the bimedians and are denoted m and n, where m connects the midpoints of the sides a and c.

  • The Construction, by Euclid, of the Regular Pentagon
    THE CONSTRUCTION, BY EUCLID, OF THE REGULAR PENTAGON Jo˜ao Bosco Pitombeira de CARVALHO Instituto de Matem´atica, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, Cidade Universit´aria, Ilha do Fund˜ao, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT We present a modern account of Ptolemy’s construction of the regular pentagon, as found in a well-known book on the history of ancient mathematics (Aaboe [1]), and discuss how anachronistic it is from a historical point of view. We then carefully present Euclid’s original construction of the regular pentagon, which shows the power of the method of equivalence of areas. We also propose how to use the ideas of this paper in several contexts. Key-words: Regular pentagon, regular constructible polygons, history of Greek mathe- matics, equivalence of areas in Greek mathematics. 1 Introduction This paper presents Euclid’s construction of the regular pentagon, a highlight of the Elements, comparing it with the widely known construction of Ptolemy, as presented by Aaboe [1]. This gives rise to a discussion on how to view Greek mathematics and shows the care on must have when adopting adapting ancient mathematics to modern styles of presentation, in order to preserve not only content but the very way ancient mathematicians thought and viewed mathematics. 1 The material here presented can be used for several purposes. First of all, in courses for prospective teachers interested in using historical sources in their classrooms. In several places, for example Brazil, the history of mathematics is becoming commonplace in the curricula of courses for prospective teachers, and so one needs materials that will awaken awareness of the need to approach ancient mathematics as much as possible in its own terms, and not in some pasteurized downgraded versions.

  • Petrie Schemes
    Canad. J. Math. Vol. 57 (4), 2005 pp. 844–870 Petrie Schemes Gordon Williams Abstract. Petrie polygons, especially as they arise in the study of regular polytopes and Coxeter groups, have been studied by geometers and group theorists since the early part of the twentieth century. An open question is the determination of which polyhedra possess Petrie polygons that are simple closed curves. The current work explores combinatorial structures in abstract polytopes, called Petrie schemes, that generalize the notion of a Petrie polygon. It is established that all of the regular convex polytopes and honeycombs in Euclidean spaces, as well as all of the Grunbaum–Dress¨ polyhedra, pos- sess Petrie schemes that are not self-intersecting and thus have Petrie polygons that are simple closed curves. Partial results are obtained for several other classes of less symmetric polytopes. 1 Introduction Historically, polyhedra have been conceived of either as closed surfaces (usually topo- logical spheres) made up of planar polygons joined edge to edge or as solids enclosed by such a surface. In recent times, mathematicians have considered polyhedra to be convex polytopes, simplicial spheres, or combinatorial structures such as abstract polytopes or incidence complexes. A Petrie polygon of a polyhedron is a sequence of edges of the polyhedron where any two consecutive elements of the sequence have a vertex and face in common, but no three consecutive edges share a commonface. For the regular polyhedra, the Petrie polygons form the equatorial skew polygons. Petrie polygons may be defined analogously for polytopes as well. Petrie polygons have been very useful in the study of polyhedra and polytopes, especially regular polytopes.
