    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNICATION ARTS & SCIENCES “I THOUGHT ABOUT KILLING YOU”: CONSIDERING THE UTILITY OF RHETORICAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL CRITICAL APPROACHES TO KANYE WEST’S YE CORY N. STEINLE SPRING 2020 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for baccalaureate degrees in Communication Arts and Sciences and Labor and Employment Relations with honors in Communication Arts and Sciences Reviewed and approved* by the following: Bradford Vivian Professor of Communication Arts & Sciences Thesis Supervisor Lori Bedell Associate Teaching Professor in Communication Arts & Sciences Honors Adviser * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. i ABSTRACT This paper examines the merits of intrinsic and extrinsic critical approaches to hip-hop artifacts. To do so, I provide both a neo-Aristotelian and biographical criticism of three songs from ye (2018) by Kanye West. Chapters 1 & 2 consider Roland Barthes’ The Death of the Author and other landmark papers in rhetorical and literary theory to develop an intrinsic and extrinsic approach to criticizing ye (2018), evident in Tables 1 & 2. Chapter 3 provides the biographical antecedents of West’s life prior to the release of ye (2018). Chapters 4, 5, & 6 supply intrinsic (neo-Aristotelian) and extrinsic (biographical) critiques of the selected artifacts. Each of these chapters aims to address the concerns of one of three guiding questions: which critical approaches prove most useful to the hip-hop consumer listening to this song? How can and should the listener construct meaning? Are there any improper ways to critique and interpret this song? Chapter 7 discusses the variance in each mode of critical analysis from Chapters 4, 5, & 6.

  • A Qualitative Content Analysis of Kanye West's Twitter Practice
    The Life Of Kanye A Qualitative Content Analysis of Kanye West’s Twitter Practice. 15.08.2016 Lund University M.Sc. in Media and Communications Studies Gloe Lucas 920721-T197 !1 ABSTRACT Celebrity Twitter use has recently been the subject of celebrity studies. Performing authenticity and intimacy as well as engaging interactively with followers are considered central characteristics of ‘micro-celebrity’ practice, which is widely considered to be extensively utilized by celebrities in their use of Twitter. Taking this framework suggested by celebrity studies as a point of departure, this thesis focuses on the case study of Kanye West, whose recent use of Twitter has been given much attention by celebrity news media due to his controversial tweets. In carrying out a content analysis of this case study’s tweets, this thesis aims to understand the way Kanye West is using Twitter, what strategies he is employing and how this links to the structural implications of celebrity. As the findings suggest, Kanye West employs two main strategies in his usage of Twitter: In his first strategy he uses Twitter as a tool to promote his celebrity commodity, increase his celebrity capital and create an elite network of fellow celebrities. The second strategy aims at creating an authentic and personal narrative that redefines and extends Kanye West’s celebrity persona. Within this second strategy, “stream-of-consciousness” writing was identified as a unique strategy employed by Kanye West in his Twitter practice. Keywords: Celebrity, Twitter, Micro-Celebrity, Authenticity, Intimacy, Performance. Number of words: 20.650 !2 Acknowledgements I hereby want to thank those that enabled and helped to create this paper.

I talked to Joey Brusha, Lucas Monroe, and Eric Dixon about the game and the season. Ross Armon: First of all, congrats on winning districts. How does it feel to be back to back to back champs? Joey Brusha: Th ank you, it feels unreal to have won three straight district titles. Lucas Monroe: Th ank you. It feels great; we’ve been here before but it doesn’t get old. We love coming down to Temple and bringing the community down there. We have bigger goals then district championships though. We want to win states. Eric Dixon: It’s a good feeling. It’s not an easy thing to do, especially in this district. RA: You guys had a really tough game on Saturday against Coatesville. What was your mindset going in and what did coach say to you before overtime? JB: Going into the game our mindset was to follow our game plan and play within ourselves. When we came into the huddle before overtime, Coach Grasty told us to calm down and play as a team and if we did that we would win. LM: It was a great game. It’ll probably go down as an all-time classic. Our mindset going in was just to play hard and do what we’ve been doing all year.

By Ashley Komperda n an unprecedented experience for Steinmetz, 22 students, Principal Stephen Ngo and three staff Imembers travelled to Japan on a fully-funded cultural exchange, March 14 - 22. The Consul General of Chicago and the Japan International Cooperation Center chose Steinmetz as one of only five schools in the country selected for this opportunity. They paid the costs of the trip – airfare, lodging, meals, transportation – and provided us with several chaperones for the duration of our 8-day stay. One in particular, Tomo san, was with us day and night. “Such graciousness cannot be measured,” Mr. Ngo said in his report to the staff. Steinmetz hosted Japanese students on their tours of the U.S. in 2014 and 2013, in one-day cultural exchanges organized by Mr. Ngo and International The Steinmetz Japan group consisted of students Stephanie Alonso, Alejandro Alonzo, Kienna Bariso, Klaudia Batko, Marisol Bernardino, Catherine Delgado, Javier Delgado, Luis Estrada, Jorge Garcia, Baccuelarette (IB) coordinator Nancyanne Ferrarini.
