  • Running Head: NATIONAL IMAGERY in FINNISH FOLK METAL 1
    Running head: NATIONAL IMAGERY IN FINNISH FOLK METAL 1 NATIONAL IMAGERY IN FINNISH FOLK METAL: Lyrics, Facebook and Beyond Renée Barbosa Moura Master‟s thesis Digital Culture University of Jyväskylä Department of Art and Culture Studies Jyväskylä 2014 NATIONAL IMAGERY IN FINNISH FOLK METAL 2 UNIVERSITY OF JYVÄSKYLÄ Faculty Department Humanities Art and Culture Studies Author Renée Barbosa Moura Title National Imagery in FFM: Lyrics, Facebook and Beyond Subject Level Digital Culture MA Thesis Month and year Number of pages June 2014 90 pages Abstract Folk metal is a music genre originated from heavy metal music. For many artists and fans, folk metal is more than just music: it is a way of revitalising tradition. Folk metal is then a genre which is closely related to individual‟s cultural identities. As part of popular culture, heavy metal has been investigated for instance in the fields of cultural studies and psychology. Andrew Brown investigates how heavy metal emerged as subject for academic research. Deena Weinstein approaches heavy metal as culture and behaviour that is shared by individuals from different cultural backgrounds. However, subgenres like folk metal have not yet been explored in depth by academics. Analysing folk metal‟s nuances in specific national contexts would provide further knowledge on national cultures and identities. One example of folk metal reflecting elements of national culture is Finnish folk metal. The bands whose works belong to this genre usually draw from Finnish culture to compose their works, which usually feature stories from a variety of traditional sources such as the epic book Kalevala. Such stories are then transposed into new media, disseminating the artists‟ concept of Finnishness.

  • Exploring the Chinese Metal Scene in Contemporary Chinese Society (1996-2015)
    "THE SCREAMING SUCCESSOR": EXPLORING THE CHINESE METAL SCENE IN CONTEMPORARY CHINESE SOCIETY (1996-2015) Yu Zheng A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS December 2016 Committee: Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Esther Clinton Kristen Rudisill © 2016 Yu Zheng All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeremy Wallach, Advisor This research project explores the characteristics and the trajectory of metal development in China and examines how various factors have influenced the localization of this music scene. I examine three significant roles – musicians, audiences, and mediators, and focus on the interaction between the localized Chinese metal scene and metal globalization. This thesis project uses multiple methods, including textual analysis, observation, surveys, and in-depth interviews. In this thesis, I illustrate an image of the Chinese metal scene, present the characteristics and the development of metal musicians, fans, and mediators in China, discuss their contributions to scene’s construction, and analyze various internal and external factors that influence the localization of metal in China. After that, I argue that the development and the localization of the metal scene in China goes through three stages, the emerging stage (1988-1996), the underground stage (1997-2005), the indie stage (2006-present), with Chinese characteristics. And, this localized trajectory is influenced by the accessibility of metal resources, the rapid economic growth, urbanization, and the progress of modernization in China, and the overall development of cultural industry and international cultural communication. iv For Yisheng and our unborn baby! v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS First of all, I would like to show my deepest gratitude to my advisor, Dr.

  • Identity, Cosmopolitanism and Education in Extreme Metal Bands: the Case of Finland
    Historia y Memoria de la Educación 12 (2020): 303-332 Sociedad Española de Historia de la Educación ISSN: 2444-0043 DOI: 10.5944/hme.12.2020.26507 IDENTITY, COSMOPOLITANISM AND EDUCATION IN EXTREME METAL BANDS: THE CASE OF FINLAND Identidad, cosmopolitismo y educación en las bandas de metal extremo: el caso de Finlandia Eugenio Otero Urtazaα Reception date: 22/01/2020 • Acceptation date: 08/03/2020 Abstract. Music is an art that often defines the education and values of peo- ple. Extreme Metal is a controversial musical genre that at times, in some of its subgenres, has caused episodes of exceptional violence. Metalheads make up a cultural movement that is present on all conti- nents. Metal movements are difficult to dissolve in the magma of social acceptance: they create a consciousness of transnational solidarity, of response to waste and ostentation that destroys the planet, while claim- ing the place in which it is lived. Extreme Metal is not an artistic fashion, it is profoundly changing the mentality of many young people who reject the social organisation of the capitalist and Christian world and try to find alternatives for the future. In this article we ask how their convic- tions are formed and in what way the school’s teachings influence them. One of the ways of studying the phenomenon is by analysing the lyrics of the songs. Not all subgenres can be covered and three Melodic Death Metal bands from Finland have been chosen for study, especially in rela- tion to their feelings about nature and the cosmos. It is evident that their songs are often based on classical and popular poems learned at school, by the legacy left by the great Finnish poets, and even by the literary cre- ations of musicians for that school resonance.

    Phoenix Rises NASA’s Phoenix Mars Lander mission blasted off on August 4, aiming for a May 25, 2008, arrival at the Red Planet and a close-up examination of the surface of the northern polar region. Perched atop a Delta II rocket, the spacecraft left Cape Canaveral Air Force Base at 5:26 a.m. Eastern Time into the predawn sky above Florida’s Atlantic coast. “[The] launch is the fi rst step in the long journey to the surface of Mars. We certainly are excited about launching, but we still are concerned about our actual landing, the most diffi cult step of this mission,” said Phoenix Principal Investigator Peter Smith. The spacecraft established communications with its ground team via the Goldstone, California, antenna station of NASA’s Deep Space Network at 7:02 a.m. Eastern Time, after separating from the third stage of the launch vehicle. “The launch team did a spectacular job getting us on the way,” The Phoenix Mars Lander mission said Barry Goldstein, Phoenix project manager at NASA’s Jet Propulsion roared into space on August 4 and Laboratory. “Our trajectory is still being evaluated in detail; however, we began its journey to seek evidence Lare well within expected limits for a successful journey to the Red Planet. of water on our neighboring planet.

We are all thrilled!” The Phoenix Mars mission is the fi rst of NASA’s competitively proposed and selected Mars Scout missions, an initiative for lower-cost, competed spacecraft. Named for the resilient mythological bird, the Phoenix mission fi ts perfectly with the agency’s core Mars Exploration Program, whose theme is “follow the water.” The University of Arizona was selected to lead the mission in August 2003 and is the fi rst public university to lead a Mars exploration P mission.

    Global Metal Music and Culture This book defines the key ideas, scholarly debates, and research activities that have contributed to the formation of the international and interdisciplinary field of Metal Studies. Drawing on insights from a wide range of disciplines including popular music, cultural studies, sociology, anthropology, philos- ophy, and ethics, this volume offers new and innovative research on metal musicology, global/local scenes studies, fandom, gender and metal identity, metal media, and commerce. Offering a wide-ranging focus on bands, scenes, periods, and sounds, contributors explore topics such as the riff-based song writing of classic heavy metal bands and their modern equivalents, and the musical-aesthetics of Grindcore, Doom and Drone metal, Death metal, and Progressive metal. They interrogate production technologies, sound engi- neering, album artwork and band promotion, logos and merchandising, t-shirt and jewelry design, and the social class and cultural identities of the fan communities that define the global metal music economy and subcul- tural scene. The volume explores how the new academic discipline of metal studies was formed, while also looking forward to the future of metal music and its relationship to metal scholarship and fandom. With an international range of contributors, this volume will appeal to scholars of popular music, cultural studies, social psychology and sociology, as well as those interested in metal communities around the world. Andy R. Brown is Senior Lecturer in Media Communications at Bath Spa University, UK. Karl Spracklen is Professor of Leisure Studies at Leeds Metropolitan Uni- versity, UK. Keith Kahn-Harris is honorary research fellow and associate lecturer at Birkbeck College, UK.

Eva Krisper, Eva Schuck, Ralf von Appen und André Doehring w w w . gf pm - samples.de/Samples16/ bu e h le r . pdf Jahrgang 16 (2018) - Version vom 24.5.2018 KALEVALA METAL — DIE MUSIK DER BAND AMORPHIS UND IHR BEZUG ZUM FINNISCHEN NATIONAL-EPOS Marcus Bühler I.1. Einleitung Seit den 1990er Jahren kristallisiert sich in der finnischen Metal-Szene eine Auseinandersetzung mit der kulturellen Tradition des eigenen Landes her- aus. Darin partizipiert auch die Band Amorphis, die hier musikanalytisch und literaturwissenschaftlich näher in den Blick genommen wird. Seit der Grün- dung der Band 1990 durchläuft der Musikstil einen Wandel, der durch die Pole Extreme Metal (vgl. Kahn-Harris 2007) und Rock- sowie Popmusik ge- prägt ist. Dieser Wandel soll in den Kapiteln I.2-III nachgezeichnet werden. Der Bezug auf finnische Kultur findet sich bei der Band in der grafischen Ge- staltung von Album-Covern und -Booklets und den Texten wieder, denn die Musiker bedienen sich einer Vorlage aus der finnischen Literatur: dem Kale- vala-Epos. Auch die Adaptionsweise dieses Epos durchläuft einen Wandel, der parallel zum Musikstil in Kapitel IV erläutert werden soll. Die Kalevala ist das Werk des finnischen Philologen und Arztes Elias Lönnrot (1802-1884), der zwischen 1828 und 1844 mehrere Reisen durch Finnland (insbesondere durch die heute mehrheitlich zu Russland gehörende Region Karelien) unternahm, um Quellen für eine Volksliedsammlung zu kompilieren. Die daraus entstandene Textsammlung enthält überwiegend bis dahin mündlich überlieferte Gesänge (Murtomäki 2010: 199). Erstmals veröffentlicht wurde die Kalevala 1835.
