Noches Caribeñas, Spanish for Caribbean Nights, is an event in which the history of dance from the Caribbean region is discussed, specifically the two dances: Salsa and Bachata. Throughout the night, dance lessons and Cuban desserts were offered to the attendees, most of whom were present to learn more about the Caribbean culture and a new dance. “Noches Caribeñas is basically an event dedicated to Salsa and Bacha- ta from the Caribbean region,” said Andrew De Los Reyes, a 23-year- old Latin American studies major JONATHAN GIBBY / Daily Titan and president of LASSA.

  • Woody Guthrie's Angry Sons and Daughters
    “Seeds Blowin’ Up the Highway in the South Wind”: Woody Guthrie’s Angry Sons and Daughters Roxanne Harde University of Alberta, Augustana1 Abstract Both anger and hope drive Woody Guthrie’s protest songs. Lyrics like “This Land Is Your Land” offer a hopefully angry voice that continues to be heard in the work of contemporary American singer-songwriters. This essay analyzes the ways in which Guthrie’s voice and vision continue to inform the songs of Bruce Springsteen, Steve Earle, Patty Griffin, Gillian Welch and David Rawlings, and Mary Gauthier. By bringing Guthrie’s hopeful anger that insists on justice and mercy and precludes sentimentality, hostility, and nihilism into conversation with the artists who continue his legacy of activism, this paper looks to the “Seeds” Guthrie sowed. In November 2009, at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 25th Anniversary Concert, Bruce Springsteen opened his set with an astute and angry commentary and then introduced the perpetually enraged Tom Morello before launching into a blistering version of “The Ghost of Tom Joad,” just one of many Springsteen songs that depend upon the work of Woody Guthrie. “If you pick up the newspaper, you see millions of people out of work; you see a blood fight over decent health care for our citizens, and you see people struggling to hold on to their homes,” Springsteen said: “If Woody Guthrie were alive today, he’d have a lot to write about: high times on Wall Street and hard times on Main Street.” Relatedly, when David Rawlings performs “I Hear Them All,” with or without 1 Copyright © Roxanne Harde, 2018.

  • Sexual Representations in Gossip Girl and One Tree Hill: a Textual Analysis"
    Journal of Media and Communication Studies Vol. 3(1), pp. 1–6, January 2011 Available online http://www.academicjournals.org/jmcs ISSN 2141 – 2545 ©2011 Academic Journals Full Length Research Paper "Sexual representations in gossip girl and one tree hill: A textual analysis" L. Meghan Peirce 9 South College Street, Athens, Ohio 45701, USA. E-mail: [email protected]. Tel: (302) 299-8475. Accepted 12 December, 2010 This study explores the construction of adolescent sexuality through a textual analysis of two popular teen television programs broadcast on the CW, “One Tree Hill and Gossip Girl”. A comparative textual analysis suggests that the older program, “One Tree Hill” (first broadcast in 2003) contains fewer portrayals of high-risk sexual activity than the CW’s newer teen program, “Gossip Girl” (first broadcast in 2007). This is consistent with media research that tells us how programs increase the amount of sexual content to attract new audiences. It is unfortunate that storylines are filed with high-risk sexual behavior and harmful stereotypes regarding the role of women in American society. Television holds promise as an outlet to influence teenagers and their decisions concerning sex and more needs to be done to understand the balance of entertainment and education. Key words: Sexual representations, textual analysis, sexual health, teen television drama. INTRODUCTION During the summer of 2008, news media flooded the Moreover, this comparative study will allow a glimpse into small town of Gloucester, Massachusetts, hoping to shed whether teen television is becoming more or less light on an alleged ‘pregnancy pact’ at Gloucester High responsible with its newest narratives.
