    Narrative Representations of Gender and Genre Through Lyric, Music, Image, and Staging in Carrie Underwood’S Blown Away Tour

    COUNTRY CULTURE AND CROSSOVER: Narrative Representations of Gender and Genre Through Lyric, Music, Image, and Staging in Carrie Underwood’s Blown Away Tour Krisandra Ivings A Thesis Presented In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement for the Degree Master of Arts in Music with Specialization in Women’s Studies University of Ottawa © Krisandra Ivings, Ottawa, Canada, 2016 Abstract This thesis examines the complex and multi-dimensional narratives presented in the work of mainstream female country artist Carrie Underwood, and how her blending of musical genres (pop, rock, and country) affects the narratives pertaining to gender and sexuality that are told through her musical texts. I interrogate the relationships between and among the domains of music, lyrics, images, and staging in Underwood’s live performances (Blown Away Tour: Live DVD) and related music videos in order to identify how these gendered narratives relate to genre, and more specifically, where these performances and videos adhere to, expand on, or break from country music tropes and traditions. Adopting an interlocking theoretical approach grounded in genre theory, gender theory, narrative theory in the context of popular music, and happiness theory, I examine how, as a female artist in the country music industry, Underwood uses genre-blending to construct complex gendered narratives in her musical texts. Ultimately, I find that in her Blown Away Tour: Live DVD, Underwood uses diverse narrative strategies, sometimes drawing on country tropes, to engage techniques and stylistic influences of several pop and rock styles, and in doing so explores the gender norms of those genres. ii Acknowledgements A great number of people have supported this thesis behind the scenes, whether financially, academically, or emotionally.

    A Multi-Level Analysis of Songwriter Career Strategies by Rachel S

    Changing Patterns of Cooperation in Occupational Communities: A Multi-Level Analysis of Songwriter Career Strategies By Rachel Skaggs Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Vanderbilt University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in Sociology August 10, 2018 Nashville, Tennessee Approved: Daniel B. Cornfield, PhD Shaul Kelner, PhD Joshua Murray, PhD Copyright © 2018 by Rachel Skaggs All Rights Reserved ii To my father, Donnie Skaggs, who I’ve watched pursue his songwriting dreams. To my mother, Rose Skaggs, who supports his dreams and mine. To David Carlson. His dreams and mine are intertwined. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS It is an overwhelming task to think of all of the support that people have given me in support of this dissertation. My dissertation is about collaboration, and I have been unmeasurably lucky to have collaborated with wonderful people. I want to begin by thanking every songwriter I interviewed. Without their trust and insight, I could not have conducted research that is as compelling, touching, and important as the project that has emerged. The generosity and openness of these people, most of whom were total strangers to me, is inspiring. Next, I must acknowledge the support of the Robert Penn Warren Center for the Humanities. As a dissertation fellow at the Warren Center, I was able to truly develop my ideas and focus on the work of writing a good dissertation. My fellow fellows at the Warren Center challenged me and supported me. Danielle Picard, Wietske Smeele, Sara Kollner, Alexandra Alekseyeva, David Vila, and James Phelan all contributed to the ways I think about my own work as I try to present it in a manner that is intelligible and meaningful to an interdisciplinary audience.

    9 1 0 2 y r a u r b e F z e n e m i J a i c r a G d i v a D PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND’S GUIDE TO WHAT’S GOING ON / BUZZPEI.COM Page 2 The BUZZ February 2019 The BUZZ February 2019 Page 3 Page 4 The BUZZ February 2019 Profile: Grace Kimpinski by Jane Ledwell tival’s “creativity and energy,” and com - munal spirit. “The Fringe is fun and unique in the sense that it’s non-tradi - tional theatre in non-traditional spaces – it adds a rawness to it. Also, there is a cool group of people associated with the The Producer Fringe, and I’m pretty boring day to day,” she smiles. Grace was an English major but admits drama classes didn’t pique her interest. So how did she end up with theatre as “a side gig that takes up more time than my actual paid work”? Five years back, ACT PEI put on “plays in a day”: writers had 12 hours to write a play; directors had 12 hours to produce it. Grace signed up to the open call for performers. “It was so fun,” Grace recalls. When ACT later called for people to get into the production side of theatre, Grace signed up again, and has been producing theatre ever since. She is now also on the ACT board as director of the - atre, helping to recruit shows. And, independent of ACT, she produces shows herself. In February, the show is Raised on TV 3 , the third iteration of a sketch comedy show conceived by Grace’s friend Rod Weatherbie, inspired by television.
