    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.

  • True Detective Provides Talented Acting and Exciting Plot
    True Detective provides talented acting and exciting plot HBO’s True Detective has been one of the best shows to come to television in recent years. With its riveting action sequences, sizzling erotic scenes, and amazing cast, this program, directed by Cary Fukanaga, truly provides audiences with gripping television. Set in the mid-1990s and filmed in Louisiana, detectives Martin Hart (Woody Harrelson) and Rustin “Rust” Cohle (Matthew McConaughey) are on the trail of a ritual-obsessed serial killer who adorns his victims’ bodies with antlers and other symbols. Told mostly through flashbacks, the show cuts to scenes of the detectives being interviewed in present day, with hints at their possible corruption. The excitement of the program comes with the transition between seasons, with each season having a completely new story and cast. This format ensures that the viewer is never left with a cliffhanger, as all the questions have to be answered by the last episode of each season. For me, actors have done their job when they are completely absorbed in their part and the audience no longer sees an actor, but only a character. McConaughey and Harrelson achieve this feat and truly bring these characters off the screen and into our living rooms. However, where these actors really excel is their power to tell a story. Now, one might think that storytelling comes from the writer, but the detectives’ use of facial expressions, along with slight mannerisms to get their intended message across, certainly brings the show to a whole new level. However, the area in which this series is lacking is where so many other great shows today excel—the presence of strong female characters.

  • 60 Moral Emotions, Antiheroes and the Limits of Allegiance Alberto N
    Pre-copy-edited version of “Moral Emotions, Antiheroes and the Limits of Allegiance”, in Emotions in Contemporary TV Series, García, Alberto N. (eds), Palgrave McMillan, Basingstoke, 2016, pp. 52-70. (See Springer website) Moral Emotions, Antiheroes and the Limits of Allegiance Alberto N. García 1. Introduction According to its creator, Vince Gilligan, Breaking Bad (AMC, 2008-13) describes the moral corruption of a normal man, the conversion of Mr. Chips to Scarface. In ‘Full Measures’ (3.13), the moral and emotional complexity of the story is encapsulated in a seemingly incidental scene. We see Walter White in his living room, giving little Holly a bottle of milk. A close up shows how the baby grabs at his glasses, and in this moment of paternal tenderness, the writers cunningly re-humanize a character who just executed two thugs and minutes later ordered the death of his lab partner, as if to remind us that, at heart, ‘he’s really just a family man’ forced by circumstances to take matters into his own hands. This important step in the metamorphosis of Walter is again mitigated by several factors: children, the family and everyday domestic life. Self-defence is of course the justification for these deaths, but the devotion of a father towards his little baby also enter into the moral and emotional equation that characterises Breaking Bad. Like AMC’s acclaimed hit, many contemporary series—especially those on cable TV—are full of characters that we love, broadly speaking, despite the many vile actions they have committed: Tony Soprano, Nancy Botwin, Don Draper, Jackie Peyton and Al Swearengen.

Abstract In 1997 HBO aired its first original drama series, Oz. In the years that have followed the network has positioned itself as vanguard in the television landscape, however, HBO drama series have remained a complicated, and often dangerous site for female characters. Moreover, with a few exceptions (Sex and the City, or True Blood for example), original HBO drama series remain focused on the network’s primary audience demographic: the predominantly male, relatively affluent consumers of quality television. This research explores the representation of female detectives within original HBO crime drama series, The Wire (2002--8) and Season Two of True Detective (2014 -), in order to examine how female officers, operate within the male-dominated world of HBO drama.
