  • PERFORMED IDENTITIES: HEAVY METAL MUSICIANS BETWEEN 1984 and 1991 Bradley C. Klypchak a Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate
    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.

If you don’t have a library, you’ll need to create one. Once created, all of your content for all of your shoots and projects will need to go inside that same library. Each individual user should have their own library-and only one library. Your library will contain all of your events, which are containers that hold clips, photos, audio files, etc. for use in your projects. Projects themselves are also kept inside Events. Think of it this way: An old-school file cabinet (your library) holds drawers (your events) of raw video clips, photos, and similar items. Within those drawers, there are file folders, which hold a group of items placed together in a deliberate sequence (your project), which is the story told by assembling those video clips, photos, transitions, and other elements in a coherent and attractive order.

Sharpe-Timms, Thesis Supervisor DECEMBER 2013 The undersigned, appointed by the dean of the Graduate School, have examined the thesis entitled OVERCOMING ENDOMETRIOSIS-ASSOCIATED PREIMPLANTATION EMBRYO DEVELOPMENTAL ANOMALIES BY CULTURE presented by Justin M. Hennings, a candidate for the degree of master of science, and hereby certify that, in their opinion, it is worthy of acceptance. Dr. Kathy L. Sharpe-Timms Dr. Peter Sutovsky Dr. Randall Prather ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS To begin with, I would like to thank my graduate thesis committee, composed of Drs. Kathy L. Sharpe-Timms, Peter Sutovsky, and Randall Prather, for all of the advice and guidance that they have given me over the last couple of years. Dr. Prather has helped me to understand the intricacies behind embryo culture media. Dr. Sutovsky has been kind enough to contribute his extensive knowledge of fluorescent microscopy and imaging techniques, aiding in my pursuit to photograph and analyze hundreds of embryos. I am also very appreciable for the trust that Dr. Sutovsky and his entire laboratory team have put in me by allowing my use of their equipment, including the Nikon 800 fluorescent scope. Also - thanks to Miriam Sutovsky for her patience in training me to fix and process my embryo samples, along with Dr. Young-Joo Yi, Wonhee Song, and TJ Miles for helping me in navigating their laboratory! Finally: I need to extend a heartfelt ‘thank you’ to my advisor, Dr.

  • Introducing Studio Ghibli James Rendell and Rayna Denison Many
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by University of East Anglia digital repository Introducing Studio Ghibli James Rendell and Rayna Denison Many readers of this special issue of the Journal of East Asian Popular Culture will already feel that they know Studio Ghibli. Famously founded in 1985 by animation film directors Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata, along with then-magazine editor, Toshio Suzuki, Studio Ghibli has dominated Japan’s box office since the mid-1990s. Furthermore, thanks to an international distribution deal with Buena Vista International, a subsidiary of Disney, Hayao Miyazaki’s films have become well-known transnational phenomena, garnering international film festival awards and even an Oscar. This international recognition sits alongside the work undertaken by a legion of active fans who have likewise promoted Miyazaki and Ghibli’s works outside Japan. However, reflecting on the studio’s closure in 2014 – after nearly 30 years of film, television and other kinds of production – there are still many aspects of Studio Ghibli that remain obscure. Despite recent rumours that Miyazaki may be coming out of retirement one last time (a pattern he has been repeating since the late 1990s), the (perhaps temporary) moth-balling of Studio Ghibli’s feature production efforts in 2014 presents the scholars in this collection with an opportunity to reconsider Studio Ghibli’s local and global significance. This special edition of the Journal of East Asian Popular Culture is therefore intended to strategically address some of the gaps in anime scholarship, and in the scholarship around Studio Ghibli.
