Abstract This single-case study explores the use of popular music in response to the destruction of New Orleans by Hurricane Katrina in August, 2005. Using research in sociology of disaster and uses and gratifications theory in mass communication, data collected included original music written in response to the hurricane, major benefit concerts that aired in the wake, and re-appropriated music that developed new meaning when used in conjunction to the case. Analysis yielded that popular music was used to raise awareness, raise funds, and express emotion following the disaster. Common themes throughout include the impact of genre on how this was accomplished and the messages it yielded, the power of collective effervescence, and the importance of space and place when dealing with tragedy through music. ‘DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT MEANS TO MISS NEW ORLEANS?’ THE USE OF POPULAR MUSIC AFTER HURRICANE KATRINA by Jennifer Billinson B.A., Indiana University, 2006 M.A., Syracuse University, 2009 Dissertation Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Mass Communications Syracuse University August 2016 Copyright © Jennifer Billinson 2016 All Rights Reserved Table of Contents Chapter 1: Introduction p.

  • The Coming of the Manifesto
    D01OOUE A JOURNAL OF MORMON "mOUGHT THE COMING OF THE MANIFESTO Kenneth W. Godfrey An investigation of the factors which brought about the Manifesto which in turn officially terminated the practice of, if not the belief in, plural mar- riage helps to illuminate at least one process by which revelation comes. Polit- ical and social pressure was brought to bear upon Church leaders, financial sanctions seemed on the verge of destroying the Kingdom of God, and men sustained as prophets, seers and revelators reasoned, sometimes even argued, and sought the Lord in prayer for an answer to their difficulties. That God responded by confirming the rightness of what they had already concluded becomes apparent from the writings of Apostle Abraham H. Cannon, whose diaries bring additional insight to bear upon some very difficult problems. These diaries prompt and perhaps justify another article that has to do with the most publicized of all Mormon practices, plural marriage. Kenneth W. Godfrey is Director of L.D.S. Institutes and Seminaries for Arizona and New Mexico. He lives in Tempe, Arizona, with his wife and family, and holds the Ph.D. in History from Brigham Young University. Our story probably begins as early as 1831. The place is not Utah but New York, yet the setting is somewhat the same because a Mormon prophet was involved in initiating plural marriage, just as one was responsible for its cessation. Another common factor was communication with God, first from man to God and then from God to man. Though the questions were different they were at least the same in that plural marriage was the subject of both prayers.

This definitive new book features original and revealing interviews with the group, plus key people close to them. It not only traces U2’s meteoric rise to fame, but explores the background and inspiration behind every song written by the band. A full analysis of U2’s long-awaited new album No Line on the Horizon makes up the last main chapter. U2: The Stories Behind the Song is a good book for anyone wanting to know more about U2. The book is very reasonably-priced, mainly due to its small size, compared to older editions. However, this is the fourth edition of the book, and compared to the previous edition, it is quite lacking. For starters, a lot of information from the previous edition is missing. Almost every song from Boy up to No Line on the Horizon is explained in detail, but a lot of the entries for older songs have been shortened, with less information that was previously available.

  • The Federal Response to Mormon Polygamy, 1854 - 1887
    Mr. Peay's Horses: The Federal Response to Mormon Polygamy, 1854 - 1887 Mary K. Campbellt I. INTRODUCTION Mr. Peay was a family man. From a legal standpoint, he was also a man with a problem. The 1872 Edmunds Act had recently criminalized bigamy, polygamy, and unlawful cohabitation,1 leaving Mr. Peay in a bind. Peay had married his first wife in 1860, his second wife in 1862, and his third wife in 1867.2 He had sired numerous children by each of these women, all of whom bore his last name.3 Although Mr. Peay provided a home for each wife and her children, the Peays worked the family farm communally, often taking their meals together on the compound.4 How could Mr. Peay abide by the Act without abandoning the women and children whom he had promised to support? Hedging his bets, Mr. Peay moved in exclusively with his first wife. 5 Under the assumption that "cohabitation" required living together, he ceased to spend the night with his other families, although he continued to care for them. 6 After a jury convicted him of unlawful cohabitation in 1887,7 he argued his assumption to the Utah Supreme Court. As defense counsel asserted, "the gist of the offense is to 'ostensibly' live with [more than one woman.]' ' 8 In Mr. Peay's view, he no longer lived with his plural wives. The court emphatically rejected this interpretation of "cohabitation," declaring that "[a]ny more preposterous idea could not well be conceived."9 The use of the word "ostensibly" appeared to irritate the court.
