    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.

But when I called you, you had your own set of an­ swers, your own set of questions. So I stopped asking, hung up, stretched out on the couch, and set to the unpleasant task of holding a funeral and burying you. This required a blanket over my head, sad music playing, a candle burning, abstinence, repeti­ tion. I’ve done this before: buried my lovers in unmarked graves. The time it takes to dig them varies. There’s the dirt to consider. If it’s a nice day for it. If I feel like digging.

  • The Green Sheet and Opposition to American Motion Picture Classification in the 1960S
    The Green Sheet and Opposition to American Motion Picture Classification in the 1960s By Zachary Saltz University of Kansas, Copyright 2011 Submitted to the graduate degree program in Film and Media Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. John Tibbetts ________________________________ Dr. Michael Baskett ________________________________ Dr. Chuck Berg Date Defended: 19 April 2011 ii The Thesis Committee for Zachary Saltz certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: The Green Sheet and Opposition to American Motion Picture Classification in the 1960s ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. John Tibbetts Date approved: 19 April 2011 iii ABSTRACT The Green Sheet was a bulletin created by the Film Estimate Board of National Organizations, and featured the composite movie ratings of its ten member organizations, largely Protestant and represented by women. Between 1933 and 1969, the Green Sheet was offered as a service to civic, educational, and religious centers informing patrons which motion pictures contained potentially offensive and prurient content for younger viewers and families. When the Motion Picture Association of America began underwriting its costs of publication, the Green Sheet was used as a bartering device by the film industry to root out municipal censorship boards and legislative bills mandating state classification measures. The Green Sheet underscored tensions between film industry executives such as Eric Johnston and Jack Valenti, movie theater owners, politicians, and patrons demanding more integrity in monitoring changing film content in the rapidly progressive era of the 1960s. Using a system of symbolic advisory ratings, the Green Sheet set an early precedent for the age-based types of ratings the motion picture industry would adopt in its own rating system of 1968.

    Jose Dailos Cabrera Laasanen Is Rock Music in Decline? A Business Perspective Helsinki Metropolia University of Applied Sciences Bachelor of Business Administration International Business and Logistics 1405484 22nd March 2018 Abstract Author(s) Jose Dailos Cabrera Laasanen Title Is Rock Music in Decline? A Business Perspective Number of Pages 45 Date 22.03.2018 Degree Bachelor of Business Administration Degree Programme International Business and Logistics Instructor(s) Michael Keaney, Senior Lecturer Rock music has great importance in the recent history of human kind, and it is interesting to understand the reasons of its de- cline, if it actually exists. Its legacy will never disappear, and it will always be a great influence for new artists but is important to find out the reasons why it has become what it is in now, and what is the expected future for the genre. This project is going to be focused on the analysis of some im- portant business aspects related with rock music and its de- cline, if exists. The collapse of Gibson guitars will be analyzed, because if rock music is in decline, then the collapse of Gibson is a good evidence of this. Also, the performance of independ- ent and major record labels through history will be analyzed to understand better the health state of the genre. The same with music festivals that today seem to be increasing their popularity at the expense of smaller types of live-music events. Keywords Rock, music, legacy, influence, artists, reasons, expected, fu- ture, genre, analysis, business, collapse,

  • The Pragmatics of Questions and Answers
    The pragmatics of questions and answers Christopher Potts UMass Amherst Linguistics CMPSCI 585, November 6, 2007 Background Pragbot This lecture 1 A brief, semi-historial overview of linguistic pragmatics 2 A few notes on the SUBTLE project 3 Some illustrative examples 4 The partition semantics for questions 5 A decision-theoretic approach 6 Research challenges Useful follow-up reading: Chapters 23 and 24 of Jurafsky and Martin (chapters 18 and 19 of the 1st edition) Background Pragbot The merest sketch Background Pragbot The merest sketch “So here is the miracle: from a merest, sketchiest squiggle of lines, you and I con- verge to find adumbration of a coherent scene” “The problem of utterance interpretation is not dissimilar to this visual miracle. An utterance is not, as it were, a verdical model or ‘snapshot’ of the scene it de- scribes” —Levinson (2000) Background Pragbot The birth of Gricean pragmatics In the early 1960s, Chomsky showed us how to give compact, general specifications of natural language syntax. In the late 1960s, philosopher and linguist H. Paul Grice had the inspired idea to do the same for (rational) social interactions. Background Pragbot Rules and maxims Rules Maxims S ⇒ NP VP Quality Above all, be truthful! NP ⇒ N|PN Relevance And be relevant! N ⇒ hippo|··· Quantity Within those bounds, be VP ⇒ Vs S as informative as you can! VP ⇒ Vtrans NP Manner And do it as clearly and Vs ⇒ realize|··· concisely as possible! Syntactic rules are like physical laws. Breaking them should lead to nonsense (or falsification). Pragmatic rules (maxims) are like laws of the land.
