    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.

  • DEPICTIONS of CHASTITY: VIRTUE MADE VISIBLE Susan L'engle In
    DEPICTIONS OF CHASTITY: VIRTUE MADE VISIBLE Susan L’Engle In 1969 a daughter was born to Cher and Sonny Bono. They named her Chastity, an uncommon and burdensome name for a child to bear in this time and place. The negative resonance of this name still prevails, clearly articulated in a 1996 interview with Chastity Bono, where the reporter commented: “When she was born in 1969, Chastity Bono got stuck with that name forever. ‘Not that many people call me Chastity anyway,’ she says. She prefers Chas. Hell, wouldn’t you?”1 Today in the twenty-fi rst century we all have personal takes on the meaning of the word chastity and its relevance to our individual lives, shaped by our upbringing and education and supplemented by input from various media. In the Middle Ages, however, chastity was an all- pervading and multivalent concept that regulated the lives of lay men and women, and clergy alike. The ideals of chastity were expressed verbally by churchmen, theologians, philosophers, poets, and heads of family—and recorded in sermons, Saints’ Lives, advice manuals for rulers, courtesy books, and poems of courtly romance. For many of these texts, artists created images and compositions to illustrate and reinforce the verbal discourse, and it is these visual manifestations that will be analyzed and discussed in this project. As a medievalist I am interested in the various ramifi cations of chas- tity within the strata of medieval society; as an art historian, I want to explore how the notion of chastity can be represented visually, and what circumstances provoke its illustration.

  • Formation in Christian Chastity 5Th Grade: the Truth Will Set You Free…
    Formation in Christian Chastity 5th Grade: The Truth will set you free… INTRODUCTION Truth seems to be in short supply within society. Nominalism or the lack of objective truth seems to rule the day and our decisions. The fact remains that there is truth and for the Christian, truth is a person. Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life” (John 14:6). We are also taught that His words are truth and life (John 5:24 and 17:17). All that Christ teaches us is to make us joyful or joy-filled (John 10:10b). God has reveal His truth through Scripture, Sacred Tradition, and the teaching office of the Church, i.e., the Pope and the Bishops in union with Him (Magisterium). We can also know the truth about what is good and right through reason (our ability to think, understand, and judge). Society propagates many lies and for the fifth grade, one of those lies we desire to combat is the dignity of life. Life is precious from conception to natural death. Each person, regardless of their ability to contribute to society, is precious in the eyes of the Lord because He “formed us in our mother’s womb” (Psalm 139:13 and Jeremiah 1:5). The pro-life message is important in order to approach human life in the manner in which God intended. At this age, the youth have begun to form (CCC 1783-1785) their conscience (CCC 1776-1777). It is important for the youth and their parents to understand that we have a right to act in conscience (CCC 1782, 1786).

  • Love Without a Name: Celibates and Friendship
    LOVE WITHOUT A NAME: CELIBATES AND FRIENDSHIP Thesis Submitted to The College of Arts and Sciences of the UNIVERSITY OF DAYTON In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree of Master of Arts in Theological Studies By Sr. Eucharia P. Gomba UNIVERSITY OF DAYTON Dayton, Ohio DECEMBER, 2010 LOVE WITHOUT A NAME: CELIBATES AND FRIENDSHIP APPROVED BY: _________________________________________ Jana Bennett, Ph.D. Faculty Advisor _________________________________________ Matthew Levering, Ph.D. Faculty Reader _________________________________________ William Roberts, Ph.D. Faculty Reader _________________________________________ Sandra A. Yocum, Ph.D. Chairperson ii ABSTRACT LOVE WITHOUT A NAME: CELIBATES AND FRIENDSHIP Name: Gomba, Sr.Eucharia P. University of Dayton Advisor: Dr. Jana M. Bennett This research paper seeks to examine/investigate the role of friendship among men and women who took the vow of consecrated chastity. Despite their close connection with God, priests and nuns are human. They crave for intimacy and more often fall in love. This becomes complicated and sometimes devastating. The dual challenge faced by these celibates is to grow in communion with God and develop good relationships with people. This thesis attempts to meet that challenge by showing that human friendship enhances our understanding of friendship with God. Celibate life is not a solitary enterprise, but is what happens to us in relationship to others in friendship. Through biblical and theological reflection and a close analysis of the vow of chastity, I wish to show that it is possible to live great friendships in celibacy without the relationship being transformed into a marital romance. Chaste celibacy is a renunciation of what is beautiful in a human person for the sake of the Kingdom.

    ¡ ¢ £ ¤ ¥ ¦ § ¨ © £ ¢ £ ¦ ¢ £ ¨ ¢ Preface Welcome to the new interim revised Pilgrim’s Primer! To make it possible to make an even better Primer for next year this will be a limited edition and any feedback is most welcome. We’ve tried to include everything from the old book time and space permitting. The Pilgrim’s Primer gives the pilgrim all the information needed to take an active role in the annual Christus Rex pilgrimage from Ballarat to Bendigo. It is set out according to the sequence of liturgical and devotional events on the walk, beginning with the opening prayers on Friday morning. For maximum benefit, pilgrims should familiarise themselves with the in- structions at an early stage. Also a few minutes browsing and setting the ribbons in frequently used parts (eg: hymns, rosary prayers, the current part of the day, etc.) early on the first day will make for an easy transition into the rhythm of the pilgrimage. The Primer is used in conjunction with the itinerary. Rules 1. Hats are to be worn at all time on the road. Sunscreen is recommended. 2. All pilgrims are to walk on the left side of the road as far as possible off the bitumen. No-one is to walk in front of the leading support vehicle or behind the last support vehicle. 3. Pilgrims must observe promptly all directions given by marshals including without limitation any direction to move off the road or to stop walking for any reason. 4. Pilgrims must not continue the pilgrimage after sunset or commence be- fore sunrise. 5.

Cover illustration: DANCE OF THE DOG SOLDIER SOCIETIES, by Dick West. Courtesy Philbrook Art Center. Dedicated to the memory of Willard W. Beatty, Director of Indian Education for the Bureau of Indian Affairs, Department of the Interior, from 1937 to 1951. • • FOREWORD TO THE 1954 EDITION • • For a number of years the Bureau of Indian Affairs has sponsored the recording of typical Indian music throughout the United States. During this time approximately a thousand Indian songs have been recorded by Mr. Willard Rhodes, professor of music at Columbia Univer­ sity. The study originated in an effort to deter­ mine the extent to which new musical themes were continuing to develop. Studies have shown that in areas of Indian concentration, especially in the Southwest, the old ceremonial songs are still used in the traditional fashion. In the Indian areas where assimilation has been greater, Indian­ type music is still exceedingly popular. There is considerable creative activity in the development of new secular songs which are used for social gatherings. These songs pass from reservation to reservation with slight change. While the preservation of Indian music through recordings contributes only a small part to the total understanding of American Indians, it is nevertheless an important key to this understand­ ing.

  • Gypsies Tramps and Theives Final
    i Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves: The Contrapuntal Rantings of a Halfbreed Girl by Allyson K. Anderson A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Native Studies University of Manitoba Winnipeg Copyright © 2019 by Allyson Anderson ii Abstract This thesis investigates issues of representation and the social identity of the colonized by conducting a textual analysis of a fictive social construct that I dub the halfbreed girl, and of the ways in which selected metisse writers, poets, artists and performers respond to that stereotype in their respective works. Using methodologies in literature and the visual/performing arts, this thesis interrogates matters of social process: specifically, settler-colonialism’s discursive management of the social identities – in effect, the social place – of metis women, and how metis women negotiate this highly raced and gendered identity space. Emphasizing Canadian contexts, the images examined are drawn from North American settler-colonial pop-culture texts produced in the late nineteenth- through the early twenty-first centuries; the metisse responses to them are gathered from the same time period. The thesis includes American-produced images of the halfbreed girl due to the historic relationship between the two nations and the significant consumption of mass-produced American pop-culture media by Canadians – historically and currently. The first tier of the study demonstrates how the figure of the halfbreed girl is rendered abject through textual strategies that situate her at the intersection of the dichotomies, civilization/savagery and Madonna/whore, generating the racialized Princess/squaw polemic.

  • Living Chastity: Psychosexual Well Being in Jesuit Life an Essay for Studies in Jesuit Spirituality by Gerdenio Sonny Manuel, S
    Living Chastity: Psychosexual Well Being in Jesuit Life An Essay for Studies in Jesuit Spirituality By Gerdenio Sonny Manuel, S. J. A life without sex makes little sense if living chastity is not understood in all of its depth and breadth. Choosing to be chaste and celibate, Jesuits profess that their way of life can be a pathway to God. And yet exploring the connection between this aspiration and its reality today is a complicated question. In a recent conversation with priests, Pope Benedict clearly affirmed the value of priestly celibacy as “a ‘great reminder’ of the priest’s total gift of himself to God and to others.”1 His words echo the Society’s understanding of chastity as “a contemplative love that includes all human beings and makes the Jesuit open and able to find God everywhere.”2 Against this understanding of celibacy and chastity as unique ways of loving God and neighbor in the world, others have argued that the Church’s celibacy requirement has contributed to the sex abuse crisis.3 As evidence of much-publicized clergy sexual misconduct has emerged, some commentators have even argued that priestly celibacy and religious chastity now appear to be a destructive way of life. No doubt comments about the health of our lifestyle are met with varying degrees of embarrassment. When the national media were highlighting the perils of clergy sex abuse, one Jesuit scholastic described feeling conspicuous at a large family gathering. “The sight of a young man in a Roman collar in public could bring new and unsavory images to mind,” he wrote.
