    Wyrd Tales The kidnappings happened every fifth week, a child taken right from their rooms. For the most part, it was the disaffected youths. Kids who wore the heavy black and whined about their lives because they thought they were hard. The parents still made the effort to look for them, police tried to find anyone with information. Feds were brought in with specialists and corpse sniffing dogs and underground sonar. It all amounted to shit. For us, we just started rattling our usual contacts. The drug pushers didn’t know anything, they were too busy dealing with a bunch of vampires outside of town. The Union didn’t know either, since they were too focused on the plant closings in the area to fight monsters at the moment. We were left with one option then, and none of us really “liked” it. But if anyone had a chance of seeing those kids again, we had to use it. So we went to the shop, “Holistics For You” . It wasn’t some dumb crystal gazer shop that was packed with tacky statues and little pieces of rocks for you to feel your “energy” in. It was a bookstore, really, catering to a very specific crowd. Inside were books in dead languages, from Sanskrit tablets to preservation jars full of brine and God knows what inside, the air inside musty and stale. We didn’t like to go to this place, Jerry especially, but we needed to find what was happening, and the owner of this place was our only source.

Running Head: ELEMENTARY FORMS The Elementary Forms of Sports Fandom: A Durkheimian Exploration of Team Myths, Kinship, and Totemic Rituals Abstract This essay explores sports fandom through a Durkheimian theoretical framework that foregrounds the totemic link between civic collective and team symbol. Specifically, I analyze the myths, kinship, and rituals of Philadelphia Phillies fans during their historic 2008 World Series victory in the United States’ professional baseball league using a limited participant- observation of beliefs and behaviors on display at public events and articulated through the sports media. I argue that the totem’s success offered a momentous opportunity for intense social unity and reaffirmed group ideals – at both the civic and kin level – and mirrored a quasi- religious functionality at a moment of declining integrative institutions. The “collective effervescence” and communitas generated during this period represented a celebration of identity and indexed solidarity.

  • Use and Influence of Amateur Musician Narratives in Film, 1981-2001
    USE AND INFLUENCE OF AMATEUR MUSICIAN NARRATIVES IN FILM, 1981-2001 Colin Helb 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 August 2009 Committee: Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Irina Stakhanova Graduate Faculty Representative Vivian Patraka Awad Imbrahim © 2009 Colin Helb All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeremy Wallach, Advisor This dissertation is an analytical survey of four amateur musician narratives created between 1981 and 2001. Unlike purportedly true, marketing-driven uses of amateur narratives, the four narratives chosen for this project are unabashed total fictions. Despite this, the films achieve levels of perceived “authenticity” by way of cultural value and influence. None of the narratives deal with amateur musicianship as a stage or step in an inherent progression towards professionalism, as seems a prerequisite for the recollections of the now professional. But all include narratives of amateur musicians struggling to make it against “insurmountable commercial odds” resulting from an artist’s gender, talent, ability, or identity. Despite this, none treat hegemonically dictated concepts of commercial success, wealth, fame, and stardom as the ultimate and/or desired goal of amateurism or semiprofessionalism. The films all present concepts of accomplishment in challenge of hegemonic notions of professional dominance and commercial success as markers of success. The four films, Ladies and Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains (1981), Ishtar (1987), Half-Cocked (1995), and Hedwig and the Angry Inch (2001), are culturally representative of their respective eras, but have experienced lasting cultural influence in both filmmaking and music making. The films exist as prototypical examples of amateur musicians narratives, performance, and media common to the 20th Century “rise of the amateur” as found on the Internet, in realty programming, and marketing tragedies.
