    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.

Stephen King's books have become a lightning rod for the tensions around issues of including "mass market" popular literature in middle and 1.i.gh school English classes and of who chooses what students read. King's fi'tion is among the most popular of "pop" literature, and among the most controversial. These essays spotlight the ways in which King's work intersects with the themes of the literary canon and its construction and maintenance, censorship in public schools, and the need for adolescent readers to be able to choose books in school reading programs. The essays and their authors are: (1) "Reading Stephen King: An Ethnography of an Event" (Brenda Miller Power); (2) "I Want to Be Typhoid Stevie" (Stephen King); (3) "King and Controversy in Classrooms: A Conversation between Teachers and Students" (Kelly Chandler and others); (4) "Of Cornflakes, Hot Dogs, Cabbages, and King" (Jeffrey D.

  • Reading Group Guide
    FONT: Anavio regular (wwwUNDER.my nts.com) THE DOME ABOUT THE BOOK IN BRIEF: The idea for this story had its genesis in an unpublished novel titled The Cannibals which was about a group of inhabitants who find themselves trapped in their apartment building. In Under the Dome the story begins on a bright autumn morning, when a small Maine town is suddenly cut off from the rest of the world, and the inhabitants have to fight to survive. As food, electricity and water run short King performs an expert observation of human psychology, exploring how over a hundred characters deal with this terrifying scenario, bringing every one of his creations to three-dimensional life. Stephen King’s longest novel in many years, Under the Dome is a return to the large-scale storytelling of his ever-popular classic The Stand. IN DETAIL: Fast-paced, yet packed full of fascinating detail, the novel begins with a long list of characters, including three ‘dogs of note’ who were in Chester’s Mill on what comes to be known as ‘Dome Day’ — the day when the small Maine town finds itself forcibly isolated from the rest of America by an invisible force field. A woodchuck is chopped right in half; a gardener’s hand is severed at the wrist; a plane explodes with sheets of flame spreading to the ground. No one can get in and no one can get out. One of King’s great talents is his ability to alternate between large set-pieces and intimate moments of human drama, and King gets this balance exactly right in Under the Dome.

    Research Scholar ISSN 2320 – 6101 www.researchscholar.co.in An International Refereed e-Journal of Literary Explorations Impact Factor 0.793 (IIFS) DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IN STEPHEN KING’S ROSE MADDER Nitasha Baloria Ph.D. Research Scholar Department of English University of Jammu Jammu- 180001 (J&K) Abstract I read it somewhere, “You’ve given him the benefit of the doubt long enough. Now it’s time to give yourself the benefit of the truth.” Marriages have not been a cup of tea for everyone. You are lucky enough if your marriage is a loving one but not everyone is as lucky. Sometimes the wrong marriages or our wrong partners force us to think that it wasn’t a cakewalk, especially when the matter is of DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. As painful as it is to admit that we are being abused, it is even more painful to come to the conclusion that the person we love is someone we cannot afford to be around. This research paper will focus on the theme of Domestic Violence in the novel of Stephen King’s ROSE MADDER. It focuses on the main protagonist Rosie’s life. How She escapes from her eccentric husband and then makes a path to overcome her fear for her husband, leaves him and finally live a happy Life marrying the right person. Keywords:- Domestic Violence, eccentric, wrong Marrieage. “All marriages are sacred, but not all are safe.” - Rob Jackson This paper entitled, “ Domestic Violence in Stephen King’s Rose Madder” aims to explore the life of a young woman named Rosie who is married and is being tortured by her husband by consistent beating.

  • Birdhouse and Other Stories: Exploring Quiet Realism
    BIRDHOUSE AND OTHER STORIES: EXPLORING QUIET REALISM ________________ A Thesis Presented to The Honors Tutorial College Ohio University ________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements of Graduation from the Honors Tutorial College with the Degree of Bachelor of Arts in English ________________ by Torri Raines April 2016 Raines 2 “Birdhouse” and other stories: Exploring Quiet Realism Contents Introduction: Exploring Quiet Realism…………..………………………………… 3 “Birdhouse”……………………………………………………………………….. 33 “At Least It’s Something”………………………………………………………….56 “The Pedestrian”……………………………………………………………………73 “Bastet”……………………………………………………………………………..77 “Introverts”………………………………………………………………………...101 Raines 3 Exploring Quiet Realism Introduction The short stories that make up my thesis project were inspired by my notion of “quiet realism.” This concept is therefore the lens through which I seek to describe, explore, and understand the stories and writers that have inspired the writing of these stories. I first articulated the term “quiet realism” while reading James Joyce’s Dubliners during a tutorial with Professor Patrick O’Keeffe in the spring of my junior year in the Honors Tutorial College. It was how I came to describe the type of story whose ending feels subtle and unexpected, in that there is no obvious external resolution—no distinct feeling of an action closing the narrative; instead, a central character experiences a quiet, poignant, internal emotional resonance, like smacking a pair of tweezers against your palm and holding them up to your ear to hear small, metallic hum in the brief two seconds before it vanishes. One concept of the traditional story is a narrative in which a change occurs, whether that change be in physical, emotional, or spiritual circumstances, or some mixture of the three, in one or more persons involved.
