  • Glee: Give Us Something to Sing About Meenasarani Linde Murugan
    Glee: Give Us Something to Sing About Meenasarani Linde Murugan Good Vibrations: Glee’s Pop Music Archive Glee occurs at the intersection of various genres: teen program, musical, and variety show. Though the copious amount of musical numbers makes it difficult to parse out the various ways music is integrated into the show, what is apparent is the show’s enacting of an archive of pop music. The show revives forgotten songs, puts them in dialogue with or at least puts them next to recent hits, reinvigorating them for viewers of a wide age range. In featuring young performers doing renditions of old songs, Glee is similar to American Idol. On Idol, a pop archive is presented to the audience and in some cases to the singers as well. On a Stevie Wonder-themed episode, beginning music buffs can learn his body of work, devotees can see their favorite songs reinterpreted, and a singer can learn that even though he’s a rocker, soul can too work for him. A similar moment of singer-song incompatibility happens when Mr. Schuester makes the boys sing Madonna’s “What It Feels Like For a Girl.” Here, a legendary artist’s pop song is taken off its pedestal, free from the assessment of judges, and into the realm of the relational and interior. Unlike Idol where young singers are trying to be deserving of the pop song they choose to sing, Glee presents a youth that is often best expressed with the songs of an earlier generation. This interest with songs of the past is not foreign to teenagers, on screen and off, but demonstrates how teen television uses music to add depth to their characters.

  • The Sock Hop and the Loft: Jazz, Motown, and the Transformation of American Culture, 1959-1975
    The Sock Hop and the Loft: Jazz, Motown, and the Transformation of American Culture, 1959-1975 The Commerce Group: Kat Breitbach, Laura Butterfield, Ashleigh Lalley, Charles Rosentel Steve Schwartz, Kelsey Snyder, Al Stith In the words of the prolific Peter Griffin, “It doesn’t matter if you’re black or white. The only color that really matters is green.” Notwithstanding the music industry’s rampant racism, the clearest view of how African Americans transformed popular music between 1959 and 1975 is through the lens of commerce. Scrutinizing the relationship between creators and consumers opens up a broad view of both visual and auditory arts. The sources we selected range from cover art and an Andy Warhol silkscreen to books on the industry’s backroom deals and the Billboard Hot 100 to a retrospective Boyz II Men album on Motown’s history and an NPR special on Jimi Hendrix for kids. Combining both sight and sound, we offer online videos, a documentary on jazz, and blaxploitation films. The unparalleled abilities of Motown’s music to transcend racial barriers and serve as a catalyst for social change through an ever-widening audience necessitates a study of Berry Gordy’s market sense and the legacy of his “family” in popular culture from the 1970s through today. First, the ubiquity of the Motown sound meant that a young, interracial audience enjoyed music that had been largely exclusive to black communities. The power of this “Sound of Young America” crossover was punctuated by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s affirmation in his “Transforming a Neighborhood into a Brotherhood” address that radio’s capacity to bridge black and white youth through music and create “the language of soul” surpasses even Alexander the Great’s conquests.

  • Generation Next Young Muslim Americans Narrating Self While
    Generation Next Young Muslim Americans Narrating Self While Debating Faith, Community, and Country By Muna Ali A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Approved October 2013 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: James Eder, Chair Sherman Jackson Hjorleifur Jonsson Takeyuki Tsuda ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY December 2013 ©2013 Muna Ali All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT “Culture talk” figures prominently in the discussions of and about Muslims, both locally and globally. Culture, in these discussions, is considered to be the underlying cause of gender and generational divides giving rise to an alleged “identity crisis.” Culture also presumably conceals and contaminates “pure/true Islam.” Culture serves as the scaffold on which all that divides Muslim American immigrants and converts is built; furthermore, the fear of a Muslim cultural takeover underpins the “Islamization of America” narrative. This dissertation engages these generational and “immigrant”- “indigenous” fissures and the current narratives that dominate Muslim and public spheres. It does so through the perspectives of the offspring of converts and immigrants. As the children and grandchildren of immigrants and converts come of age, and distant as they are from historical processes and experiences that shaped the parents’ generations while having shared a socialization process as both Muslim and American, what role do they play in the current chapter of Islam in post-9/11 America? Will the younger generation be able to cross the divides, mend the fissures, and play a pivotal role in an “American Muslim community”? Examining how younger generations of both backgrounds view each other and their respective roles in forging an American Muslim belonging, agenda and discourse is a timely and much needed inquiry.
