  • Tell All the Children, December 24, 2007
    33 http://onfaith.washingtonpost.com/onfaith/panelists/willis_e_elliott/2007/12/tell_all_the_children.html "Tell all the children...." On a New York City subway earlier this month (Dec. ’07), a Jew was assaulted for yelling “Happy Hanukkah!” after somebody yelled “Merry Christmas!” Out of the ensuing melee, the police arrested ten. Somebody said let’s celebrate and somebody—with equal right—killed the intended joy by responding what do you mean “we”? “We” minimum is two, maximum is everybody. In between, one’s social identities are GIVEN by blood in time and space; CHOSEN (one’s choice may be cultural [saying yes to the blood-gifts], rebellious [living marginally to one’s birth-culture], or conversional [saying yes to another social identity]); or DENIED (saying yes to nothing except one’s personal choices). Now let’s apply that matrix to the current “On Faith” question: “Britain’s equality chief says ‘It’s time to stop being daft about Christmas. It’s fine to celebrate and it’s fine for Christ to be the star of the show’ in all public celebrations. Are we being too politically correct about Christmas?” 1.....Shocking! Presumably, a national “equality chief” would be the high potentate of political correctness, his hearing finely tuned to dissonances of inequality, sounds any sector of the populace might experience as offensive. Presumably also, the powers of such a functionary would include frustrating the will of the majority in the justice-interest of the oppressed (that is, offended) minority—a power which, when so exercised, the majority would experience as the tyranny of a minority (all having equal rights except the majority).

Degree awarded September 2013 ii © 2013 Lauren M. Bratslavsky This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs (United States) License. iii DISSERTATION ABSTRACT Lauren Michelle Bratslavsky Doctor of Philosophy School of Journalism and Communication September 2013 Title: From Ephemeral to Legitimate: An Inquiry into Television’s Material Traces in Archival Spaces, 1950s -1970s The dissertation offers a historical inquiry about how television’s material traces entered archival spaces. Material traces refer to both the moving image products and the assortment of documentation about the processes of television as industrial and creative endeavors. By identifying the development of television-specific archives and collecting areas in the 1950s to the 1970s, the dissertation contributes to television studies, specifically pointing out how television materials were conceived as cultural and historical materials “worthy” of preservation and academic study.

  • ESO Highnotes November 2020
    HighNotes is brought to you by the Evanston Symphony Orchestra for the senior members of our community who must of necessity isolate more because of COVID-!9. The current pandemic has also affected all of us here at the ESO, and we understand full well the frustration of not being able to visit with family and friends or sing in soul-renewing choirs or do simple, familiar things like choosing this apple instead of that one at the grocery store. We of course miss making music together, which is especially difficult because Musical Notes and Activities for Seniors this fall marks the ESO’s 75th anniversary – our Diamond Jubilee. While we had a fabulous season of programs planned, we haven’t from the Evanston Symphony Orchestra been able to perform in a live concert since February so have had to push the hold button on all live performances for the time being. th However, we’re making plans to celebrate our long, lively, award- Happy 75 Anniversary, ESO! 2 winning history in the spring. Until then, we’ll continue to bring you music and musical activities in these issues of HighNotes – or for Aaron Copland An American Voice 4 as long as the City of Evanston asks us to do so! O’Connor Appalachian Waltz 6 HighNotes always has articles on a specific musical theme plus a variety of puzzles and some really bad jokes and puns. For this issue we’re focusing on “Americana,” which seems appropriate for Gershwin Porgy and Bess 7 November, when we come together as a country to exercise our constitutional right and duty to vote for candidates of our choice Bernstein West Side Story 8 and then to gather with our family and friends for Thanksgiving and completely spoil a magnificent meal by arguing about politics… ☺ Tate Music of Native Americans 9 But no politics here, thank you! “Bygones” features things that were big in our childhoods, but have now all but disappeared.

  • The Vaudeville Years – 1911 to 1932
    Revision Date: May 17, 2020 Garth Johnson Jack Benny Day By Day: The Quick Reference Calendar Volume One: The Vaudeville Years – 1911 to 1932 Salisbury and Benny From Grand Opera To Ragtime Season One (1911) In this section I try to answer some of the “origin story” questions, but unfortunately the answers remain a mystery including - Leaving Waukegan - First Show - The Kublik Conflict Salisbury and Benny From Grand Opera to Ragtime Cora Folsom Salisbury and Benny Kubelsky were working in the orchestra pit of the Barrison Theater, in Waukegan, Illinois when it was sold and closed in 1911. Barrison Theater and Carnegie Library, Waukegan Illinois [“Waukegan” (Arcadia Publishing 2000 ISBN 9780738508368) Waukegan Historical Society] The Marx Brothers had just played the town with their act “Fun In Hi-Skool” in July and their mother/manager Mini had suggested Benny go on the road with them, but his parents said he could not. At seventeen, he was too young and impressionable for the travelling lifestyle. Cora, needing work to take care of her ailing mother, and seeing the potential in the young violinist, managed to persuade Benny’s parents a few weeks later that she would look out for him, and being the same age as the Kubelsky’s they relented. So it was with tears, reservations and anticipation about the future that seventeen year old Benny Kubelsky left Waukegan and began his career in show business. The acts first stop, according to Benny, was Gary Indiana and he relates the story of leaving Waukegan for that first time in Irving Fein’s book, “Jack Benny an Intimate Biography.” That may be what Benny recalls as the first show away from home, but a bill and notice for August 19, 1911 in the Racine Daily Journal, Racine Wisconsin, advertising “Salisbury and Kribelsky” appearing at the Racine Theater is currently the earliest documented appearance of the act.

  • Jazz and Radio in the United States: Mediation, Genre, and Patronage
    Jazz and Radio in the United States: Mediation, Genre, and Patronage Aaron Joseph Johnson Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Aaron Joseph Johnson All rights reserved ABSTRACT Jazz and Radio in the United States: Mediation, Genre, and Patronage Aaron Joseph Johnson This dissertation is a study of jazz on American radio. The dissertation's meta-subjects are mediation, classification, and patronage in the presentation of music via distribution channels capable of reaching widespread audiences. The dissertation also addresses questions of race in the representation of jazz on radio. A central claim of the dissertation is that a given direction in jazz radio programming reflects the ideological, aesthetic, and political imperatives of a given broadcasting entity. I further argue that this ideological deployment of jazz can appear as conservative or progressive programming philosophies, and that these tendencies reflect discursive struggles over the identity of jazz. The first chapter, "Jazz on Noncommercial Radio," describes in some detail the current (circa 2013) taxonomy of American jazz radio. The remaining chapters are case studies of different aspects of jazz radio in the United States. Chapter 2, "Jazz is on the Left End of the Dial," presents considerable detail to the way the music is positioned on specific noncommercial stations. Chapter 3, "Duke Ellington and Radio," uses Ellington's multifaceted radio career (1925-1953) as radio bandleader, radio celebrity, and celebrity DJ to examine the medium's shifting relationship with jazz and black American creative ambition.
