Finding Grace in the Concert Hall: Community and Meaning Among Springsteen Fans
FINDING GRACE IN THE CONCERT HALL: COMMUNITY AND MEANING AMONG SPRINGSTEEN FANS By LINDA RANDALL A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of WAKE FOREST UNIVERSITY On Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS In the Department of Religion December 2008 Winston Salem, North Carolina Approved By: Lynn Neal, PhD. Advisor _____________________________ Examining Committee: Jeanne Simonelli, Ph.D. Chair _____________________________ LeRhonda S. Manigault, Ph.D _____________________________ ii Acknowledgements First and foremost, my thanks go out to Drs. Neal and Simonelli for encouraging me to follow my passion and my heart. Dr. Neal helped me realize a framework within which I could explore my interests, and Dr. Simonelli kept my spirits alive so I could nurse the project along. My concert-going partner in crime, cruisin’tobruce, also deserves my gratitude, sharing expenses and experiences with me all over the eastern seaboard as well as some mid-America excursions. She tolerated me well, right up until the last time I forgot the tickets. I also must recognize the persistent assistance I received from my pal and companion Zero, my Maine Coon cat, who spent hours hanging over my keyboard as I typed. I attribute all typos and errors to his help, and thank him for the opportunity to lay the blame at his paws. And lastly, my thanks and gratitude goes out to Mr. Bruce Frederick Springsteen, a man of heart and of conscience who constantly keeps me honest and aware that “it ain’t no sin to be glad you’re alive (Badlands).” -

Mastering Videogame Secrets in Theory and Practice By Kristina Lynn Drzaic Submitted to the Program in Comparative Media Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Science in Comparative Media Studies ABSTRACT Secrets are a ubiquitous part of contemporary videogame design, yet are largely unexplored within academic discourse and often dismissed as extras. I contend that secrets play a fundamental and influential role within a given gamespace in terms of the way they affect a videogame design and player experience. As such this paper will investigate the nature of secrets in videogames. I shall find where secrets exist in a game and how they function as moments of gameplay. -

The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School The College of Communications ‘EMPIRE’ RECORDS: A STUDY OF RESISTANCE AND THE POLITICS OF CULTURAL PRODUCTION IN THE NETWORK AGE A Dissertation in Mass Communications by Douglas G. Tewksbury © 2010 Douglas G. Tewksbury Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy May 2010 The dissertation of Douglas G. Tewksbury was reviewed and approved* by the following: C. Michael Elavsky Assistant Professor of Communication Dissertation Advisor Co-Chair of Committee John Nichols Professor of Communication Associate Dean of Graduate Studies and Research Co-Chair of Committee Matt Jordan Assistant Professor of Communication John Christman Associate Professor of Philosophy, Political Science, and Women's Studies *Signatures are on file with the Graduate School. ii ABSTRACT This dissertation explores the way in which the cultural politics of popular music function as a strategy of governance by examining two case studies: Rage Against the Machine and M.I.A. The shape of musical media using a politics of resistance has fundamentally changed in recent years due to the massive influence of the rise of the network society and digital distribution. Yet this resistance, I argue, is responding to an equal change in the way that dominant institutions exert their influence through these same means. In both cases, it is the new uses of media that shift the locus of power to the everyday lives of global citizens. I use Michel Foucault’s concept of biopolitical production as the primary strategy through which power is exercised as a mode of postmodern governance.
