    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.

The book is divided into four sections. The first section, "Language Lore," examines some of the myths and misconceptions that affect attitudes toward language--and towards English in particular. The second section, "Language Usage," examines some specific questions of meaning and usage. Section 3, "Language Trends," examines some controversial r trends in English vocabulary, and some developments too new to have received comment before. The fourth section, "Language Politics," treats several aspects of linguistic politics, from special attempts to deal with the ethnic, religious, or sex-specific elements of vocabulary to the broader issues of language both as a reflection of the public consciousness and the U.S. Constitution and as a refuge for the most private forms of expression.

  • Rare Vegetation Classification of Remotely Sensed Images, Gobustan National Park, Azerbaijan
    International Geoinformatics Research and Development Journal Rare vegetation classification of remotely sensed images, Gobustan National Park, Azerbaijan Yelena M. G.1, Adil Y. G.2, Rustam B. R.3, Maral H. Z.4 1 R.I.S.K. Company, Baku, Azerbaijan E-mail: [email protected] 2 SAHIL IT Company, Baku, Azerbaijan 3 Institute of Physics of the National Academy of Sciences, Baku, Azerbaijan 4 Institute of Botany of the National Academy of Sciences, Baku, Azerbaijan Abstract This study concentrated to develop a remote sensing and GIS method to estimate rare vegetation in Gobustan, Azerbaijan. For the study SPOT 5 of May 2007 image was procured. The paper analyses the supervised classification method Maximum Likelihood Classification algorithm. A number of steps were involved in the process of the study, including Geographical Data Base design, creation of Specialized GIS Environment and classification. Study reveals that optical remote sensing techniques could effectively be used to assess rare vegetation and map them accordingly with a reliable accuracy of 74.2%. Keywords: Remote sensing, vegetation, classification, SPOT5 Introduction Satellite remote sensing has become a common tool of investigation, prediction and forecast of environmental change and scenarios through the development of GIS-based models and decision- support instruments that have further enhanced and considerably supported decision making [1], [2], [3]. With the advent of new high spatial and spectral resolution satellite, new applications for precision mapping and accurate monitoring have become feasible. Remote sensing is expected to provide us an efficient tool for vegetation monitoring. In particular, as vegetation is characterized by a mixture of vegetation, soil and water in mixed conditions, remote sensing is expected to delineate the relation between them.
