The plant produces flat, 3/8 of an inch long, oval-shaped, dry fruits. Most plants die after flowering, while others flower for several years. Similar Species Giant hogweed closely resembles cow parsnip (Heracleum maximum Bartr.), a plant native to the Pacific Northwest and Alaska that rarely exceeds 6 feet in height, has a flower cluster only 8 to 12 inches wide, and has palmately lobed rather than dissected leaves. Ecological Impact Giant hogweed forms a dense canopy, outcompeting and displacing native riparian species. The plant produces a wa- tery sap that contains toxins causing severe dermal injury to humans, birds, and other animals. The flowers of giant hogweed are insect-pollinated (NWCP 2003, Pysek and Pysek 1995). This plant produces coumarins which have antifungal and antimicrobial properties. Hybrids between giant hogweed and eltrot (H. sphondylium L.) occur where the two grow in the same location.

Ottum April 2016 © 2016 Joshua J. Ottum. All Rights Reserved. 2 This dissertation titled Anthropogenic Moods: American Functional Music and Environmental Imaginaries by JOSHUA J. OTTUM has been approved for Interdisciplinary Arts and the College of Fine Arts by Marina Peterson Associate Professor of Performance Studies Elizabeth Sayrs Interim Dean, College of Fine Arts 3 ABSTRACT OTTUM, JOSHUA J., Ph.D., April 2016, Interdisciplinary Arts Anthropogenic Moods: American Functional Music and Environmental Imaginaries Director of Dissertation: Marina Peterson This dissertation investigates how functional music, utilitarian commercial music composed to create moods, shapes environmental imaginaries in late twentieth- and early twenty-first century America. In particular, the study considers how functional music operates in specific media contexts to facilitate sonic identifications with the natural world that imbricate nature with modalities of contemporary capitalism. As human- driven changes to the planet have ushered in the Anthropocene, an investigation of the relationships between musical sound, moods, and environments will draw out the feelings and imaginaries of the era. In doing so, this study amplifies these attenuated sounds, aiming to open the conversation to new ways of listening in an age of increasing environmental fragility. 4 DEDICATION Dedicated to Vanessa and Baby Ottum 5 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This dissertation is the product of explicit and implicit guidance from family, friends, and faculty.

  • All These Poses, Such Beautiful Poses
    ALL THESE POSES, SUCH BEAUTIFUL POSES: ARTICULATIONS OF QUEER MASCULINITY IN THE MUSIC OF RUFUS WAINWRIGHT by MATTHEW J JONES (Under the Direction of Susan Thomas) ABSTRACT Singer-composer Rufus Wainwright uses specific musical gestures to reference historical archetypes of urban, gay masculinity on his 2002 album Poses. The cumulative result of his penchant for pastiche, eschewal of traditional musical boundaries, and self-described hedonism, Poses represents Wainwright’s direct engagement with the politics of identity and challenges dominant constructions of (homo)sexuality and masculinity in popular music. Drawing from a vast lexicon of musical styles, he assembles an idiosyncratic persona, ignoring several decades of pop with an “utter lack of machismo [and] a freedom that comes to outsiders disinterested in meeting the requirements of the dreary status quo.”1 Though analysis of musical and lyrical characteristics of Poses, I establish a dialectic between Wainwright’s musical persona and four historical modes of urban gay masculinity: the 19th Century English Dandy, the French flaneur, the 20th Century gay bohemian, and the “Clone.” In doing so, I introduce Wainwright as a reinvigorating force, resuscitating the subversive potential of radical gay sexuality as a 21st Century model for imagining gay male subjectivity.

  • A Night at the Opera: Performance, Theatricality, and Identity In
    A NIGHT AT THE OPERA: PERFORMANCE, THEATRICALITY, AND IDENTITY IN THE MUSIC OF QUEEN A THESIS IN Musicology Presented to the Faculty of the University of Missouri-Kansas City in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF MUSIC by GRACE KATE ODELL B.M., Furman University, 2016 Kansas City, Missouri 2016 ©2019 GRACE KATE ODELL ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 2 A NIGHT AT THE OPERA: PERFORMANCE, THEATRICALITY, AND IDENTITY IN THE MUSIC OF QUEEN Grace Kate Odell, Candidate for the Master of Music Degree University of Missouri-Kansas City, 2016 ABSTRACT Many discussions of the rock band Queen (vocalist Freddie Mercury, guitarist Brian May, drummer Roger Taylor, and bassist John Deacon) reference their theatricality, yet few analyze what makes Queen’s music and performances theatrical. Through examining Queen’s theatricality from different angles, this thesis shows the different layers of Queen’s performativity and its relationship to identity. After an introductory chapter that surveys the literature about Queen, the second chapter of the thesis analyzes the theatricality of Queen’s music from a stylistic basis. The chapter begins by addressing Queen’s camp theatricality through their use of music hall, iii operetta, and musical theatre styles. It then addresses their drama-based theatricality through their use of opera and film music styles. The third chapter analyzes Queen’s performance of gender and sexuality through their use of different genres. It first discusses Queen’s participation in the genre of glam rock, in which they performed a more feminine persona, but were still understood as heterosexual. Then it explores Queen’s disco and funk influenced music and Mercury’s “castro clone” image as simultaneously a more masculine and more homosexual performance.
