    HEAVY METAL HUMOR: CONSIDERING CARNIVAL IN HEAVY METAL CULTURE A Thesis by GARY BOTTS POWELL Submitted to the Office of Graduate Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Chair of Committee, Harris M. Berger Committee Members, Judith Hamera Patrick Burkart Jayson Beaster-Jones Head of Department, Claudia Nelson August 2013 Major Subject: Performance Studies Copyright 2013 Gary Botts Powell ABSTRACT What can 15th century France and heavy metal have in common? In Heavy Metal Humor, Gary Powell explores metal culture through the work of Mikael Bakhtin‘s “carnivalesque theory.” Describing the practice of inverting commonly understood notions of respectability and the increasing attempts to normalize them, Bakhtin argues that carnivals in Francois Rabelais’ work illustrate a sacrilegious uprising by the peasant classes during carnival days against dogmatic aristocrats. Powell asserts that Rabelais’ work describes cartoonish carnivals that continue in as exaggerated themes and tropes into other literary styles, such as comedy and horror that ultimately inform modern-day metal culture. To highlight the similarities of Bakhtin’s interpretation of Rabelais’ work to modern-day metal culture, Powell draw parallels to between Bakhtin’s carnivalesque theory and metal culture with two different, exemplary “humorous” metal performances, GWAR and Anal Cunt. Powell chooses “humorous” metal groups because, to achieve their humor, they exaggerate tropes, and behaviors in metal culture. To this end, Powell explores metal culture through GWAR, a costumed band who sprays their audience with fake body fluids as they decapitate effigies. He points out examples of Rabelais’ work which Bakhtin uses to describe carnivalesque tropes, and threads them to modern-day metal culture.

We have lived out thirteen years of the word education being coupled with the word compulsory. As June approaches, however, we will find ourselves with newfound freedom, and, of course, responsibility. In many ways, this perspective is equal parts terrifying and thrilling. The words “the rest of your life” are somewhat daunting to most teenagers. Between heavy academic course loads, mandatory volunteer work, extracurricular activities and part time jobs, many grads have spent their final school year analyzing options and preparing plans for post-secondary. For the first time in our lives, we are making decisions on our own that have the power to dramatically impact our futures. In 2007, a Stats Canada report found that more than 4 in 10 senior high school students felt “under constant pressure to accomplish more than they could handle.” Most seniors don’t need to hear the numbers, however, to know that this is true. Deciding on career paths and colleges or universities are no simple tasks, and finding a way to finance it all can often seem near-impossible. Beyond the obvious stress, there is also the knowledge that after the school year ends you probably won’t be seeing that kid that sits in the back of math class anymore.

In the former case meaning and identity are questioned, and long-standing skills face ongoing technological change in the latter. Each has educational implications. This study addresses these issues by exploring masculine expressiveness within vernacular art practices, in order to discern qualities that may enable young men to create a sense of self through personal agency. A purposeful sense of who one is in relation to one’s fellows and the world, which we term identity, is essential to both individual growth, and collective human development.
