    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.

Travel Issue 212 In This Issue ▼ 20 Jul 2018 THE STORY OF A LEOPARD POPULATION THAT BEATS THE ODDS by Simon Espley & The Cape Leopard Trust Friday, 20 July 2018 he Cape leopard is the stuff of legends. This seldom seen, highly elusive apex predator survives in some of the most inhospitable habitat possible – the rugged, low nutritional fynbos biome of the Cape Fold Mountain T ranges. Despite the habitat limitations, this region did historically host many wildlife species such as black rhino, Cape mountain zebra, bontebok, Cape buffalo, hippopotamus, elephant, spotted hyena, brown hyena and wild dog – all of which now only occur in some fenced private and national game reserves in the Cape. The Cape lion, quagga and bluebuck also occurred in the area, but are now extinct. The arrival of permanent European settlers signalled the death knell for these species in the wild, and 365 years later, the pressure has escalated. And yet the Cape leopard is hanging in there. And they do so with other hardy survivors such as African wildcat, chacma baboon, caracal (rooikat), Cape clawless otter, Cape fox, large- spotted genet, striped polecat, honey badger and several antelope species. So, what is the Cape leopard’s secret? How does the Cape’s apex predator escape local extinction? In a nutshell, Cape leopards continue to survive because they are adaptive to change, opportunistic about food sources and because of the vastness of their home ranges.

    Leopard Quota Review: South Africa 1. History and rationale of leopard export quota The leopard export quota was originally introduced at the fourth meeting of the Conference of the Parties to CITES (Gaborone, 1983) with Resolution Conf. 4.13, and at CoP7 (Lausanne, 1989) an export quota of 50 leopard hunting trophies and skins for personal use was recommended for South Africa. This was subsequently increased to 75 at CoP8 (Kyoto, 1992). A Population and Habitat Viability Analysis (PHVA) informed the increase in South Africa’s export quota for leopard hunting trophies and skins for personal use at CoP13 (Bangkok, 2004), to 150, as contained in Resolution Conf. 10.14 (Rev. CoP16). Model scenarios tested in the PHVA, ranging from 0 to150 leopard hunted, showed that an increase in the export quota from 75 to 150 did not increase the risk of extinction of the national population within a time period of 100 years, though a reduction in the size of the population from 93% to 64% of the carrying capacity was predicted along with possible local extinctions. 2. Principles In reviewing the leopard export quota for South Africa, the following principles are deemed to be important: 1. Management and conservation of leopard in South Africa is underpinned by the sustainable use paradigm. 2. South Africa has adopted an adaptive management framework for the management and utilization of leopard. 3. Monitoring is a crucial component of an adaptive management framework and the involvement of stakeholders in monitoring the resource base should be encouraged. 4. Management and utilization of leopard in South Africa should be underpinned by robust science.

This story takes place in southern Africa and is the story of a young boy who rescues an orphaned white lion cub from the African bush. They remain inseparable until Bertie has to go away to boarding school and the lion is sold to a circus. Years later they are reunited, until the lion gently dies of old age.
