  • A Musicological and Theological Analysis of Sufjan Stevens's Song, "Christmas Unicorn"
    ABSTRACT I'm a Christmas Unicorn: A musicological and theological analysis of Sufjan Stevens's song, "Christmas Unicorn" Janna Martindale Director: Jean Boyd, Ph.D. The purpose of this thesis is to introduce the reader to Sufjan Stevens’s 2012 fifty- eight track album Silver & Gold, and specifically the final song, “Christmas Unicorn,” a twelve and half minute anti-epic pop song that starts off in a folk style and builds to an electronic, symphonic climax. The album presents many styles of Christmas songs, including Bach chorales, hymns, original songs, “Jingle Bells,” and a Prince cover. I argue that this album is a post-modern presentation demonstrating all the different expressions of Christmas are valid, no matter how commercial or humble. “Christmas Unicorn” synthesizes all these styles through the metaphor of the unicorn, which is a medieval symbol of Christ in the Nativity and the Crucifixion. Stevens uses the symbol of the unicorn to represent Christ as well as all humans and all the different attributes of Christmas.

  • Michigan and Illinois
    Sufjan Stevens started his famous "The Fifty States Project" in 2003, the goal of which was to record an album about every state of the United States of America. He made two LPs about his two favorite states – Michigan and Illinois. The first album, simply titled "Michigan," was released in 2003. He constructed the image of Michigan from the point of view of a person who was born and grew up there, then migrated to New York City M aciej Sm ółka and was sentimental about the region of their childhood. Each song was a homage to the beloved home state, telling stories about places, people, cities and natural sites. ThisT LP is a very interesting piece that not only lets one study the way in which the author constructs the image of one’s homeland, but also how he deconstructs the stereotypes, Maciej Smółka publicizes some regional issues, and at the same time promotes the state through music. Say Yes! to M ichigan Because of that, the main purpose of this book is to research Sufjan Stevens's album in the context of the image of the state of Michigan it represents. Say Yes! to Moreover,Mo the analysis of "Michigan" provides valuable information about the popular culture in general – how instrumental can it be in shaping one's impression about a parti- cular place, what is the role of the author of a specific cultural text, what artistic measu- res are used to construct such an impression, and what effects it may cause.

  • What Sufjan Stevens' Post-Literal and Post-Rational Aesthetic Communicates About the D
    THE DIVINE ABOVE AND THE DIVINE BELOW: WHAT SUFJAN STEVENS’ POST-LITERAL AND POST-RATIONAL AESTHETIC COMMUNICATES ABOUT THE DIVINE FINAL PAPER SUBMITTED TO CRAIG DETWEILER DOCTOR OF MINISTRY PROGRAM FULLER THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE COURSE TC709 INTERPRETIVE LEADERSHIP BY ZACHARY MCGOWEN DUE: OCTOBER 1, 2017 SUBMITTED: OCTOBER 1, 2017 Many mainline denominational churches, like First Presbyterian Church in Lakeland, FL, face a problem: the desire for relevance while being layered in the trappings of what some consider archaic religious heritage and vestments. The old forms and structures meant to point to the transcendence of God and the reverence a person should hold for their Creator and Savior Jesus Christ instead smack of institutionalism of a bygone Christendom. As a result, new congregations often opt for surroundings and liturgies that are devoid of traditional elements, and older/more established congregations, such as FPC Lakeland, try to solve the problem by adding contemporary services in gyms, fellowship halls, and the like, removing those members of the congregation away from the transcendent forms. These efforts seek relevance by emphasizing God’s immanent presence over God’s transcendent character. Modern artists and pop culture contributors demonstrate that there is a longing for both and a desire to see the transcendent in the everyday. On one hand, Craig Detweiler and Barry Taylor observe the post-rational/ultra-experiential nature in current musical trends, “Almost all scholarly research or analysis of pop music begins and ends with personal experience.”1 On the other hand, Robert Johnston writes of surveying his students about their own religious experiences, “In my teaching in theology and the arts, it is a common experience for me to hear students relate stories of their own transcendent experiences that they have had while reading a book or viewing a movie.”2 In a post- 1 Craig Detweiler and Barry Taylor, A Matrix of Meanings: Finding God in Pop Culture (Grand Rapids, MI: Baker Academic, 2003).

Der 17-Jährige hört Musik und liest Bücher, geht schwimmen und langweilt sich, bis eines Tages der neue Assistent seines Vaters aus Amerika in der grosszügigen Villa ankommt. Der charmante Oliver, der wie Elio jüdische Wurzeln hat, ist jung, selbstbewusst und gutaussehend. Anfangs reagiert Elio eher kühl und abwehrend auf ihn, doch schon bald unternehmen die beiden öfter Ausflüge miteinander, und Elio beginnt zögerliche Annäherungsversuche, die zunehmend intimer werden – auch wenn man, wie Oliver sagt, „über solche Dinge nicht sprechen kann“. Die Anziehung zwischen den beiden wird im Laufe des kurzen Sommers immer intensiver. Regisseur Luca Guadagnino schrieb das Drehbuch zum gleichnamigen Roman des Autors André Aciman zusammen mit dem US-amerikanischen Regisseur James Ivory und Walter Fasano. Die Erinnerungen des Ich-Erzählers Elio übersetzt er in ruhige, stimmungsvolle Bilder.
