Firstly I would like to thank my husband Adam Sirek, my parents Kim and Marius LaCasse, and my father- and mother-in-law Jan and Elizabeth Sirek, who have been my constant support in every possible way throughout this journey. My thankfulness to you is immeasurable. And to my baby Kathryn, whose smiles were a constant source of strength and encouragement, my thanks and love to you. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my co-supervisory team, Drs Felicity Laurence and Byron Dueck, who devoted seemingly unending hours closely analysing my thesis, discussing ideas with me, and providing me with encouragement and inspiration in many more ways than just academic. I am truly grateful for their guidance, expertise, and for being so giving of their time and of themselves. I learned so much more than research techniques and writing style from both of them.

  • La Bandera Y El Himno Nacional Como Símbolos De Identidad En El Continente Americano", México, Senado De La República, 2 De Julio De 2018
    LA BANDERA Y EL HIMNO NACIONAL COMO SÍMBOLOS DE IDENTIDAD EN EL CONTINENTE AMERICANO 2 DE JULIO DE 2018 NOTA INFORMATIVA Fuente: Elaboración propia ANÁLISIS E INVESTIGACIÓN A través del tiempo se ha recurrido a símbolos que ayuden a identificar a los individuos como miembros de una sociedad. El medio más usual para adoptar una identidad durante el transcurso de la historia ha sido mediante el establecimiento de algún emblema idiosincrático (estandarte, escudo, bandera, entre otros) que agrupe los principales elementos asociados a la conformación del Estado (historia, tradiciones, costumbres, lenguas, leyes, gobierno, etcétera). El continente americano ha vivido una singular historia de conquistas, colonias y posteriores independencias y la construcción de estados independientes en entornos complejos por lo que la presente Nota Informativa presenta una compilación de las banderas e himnos nacionales del continente como símbolos de identidad; analizando su significado y el contexto en el que fueron establecidos. The flag and national anthem’s as symbols of identity in the American continent Through time, symbols have been used to help identify individuals as members of a society. The most common way to adopt an identity during the course of history has been through the establishment of some idiosyncratic emblem (banner, coat of arms, flag, among others) that assembles the main elements associated with the conformation of a State (history, traditions, customs, languages, laws, government, etc.). The American continent has lived a singular history of conquests, colonies and subsequent independence, and the construction of independent states in complex environments, therefore, this Note presents a compilation of the flags and national anthems of the continent as symbols of identity; analyzing their meaning and the context in which they were established.

  • Parody As a Borrowing Practice in American Music, 1965–2015
    Parody as a Borrowing Practice in American Music, 1965–2015 A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Division of Composition, Musicology, and Theory of the College-Conservatory of Music by John P. Thomerson BM, State University of New York at Fredonia, 2008 MM, University of Louisville, 2010 Committee Chair: bruce d. mcclung, PhD ABSTRACT Parody is the most commonly used structural borrowing technique in contemporary American vernacular music. This study investigates parody as a borrowing practice, as a type of humor, as an expression of ethnic identity, and as a response to intellectual trends during the final portion of the twentieth century. This interdisciplinary study blends musicology with humor studies, ethnic studies, and intellectual history, touching on issues ranging from reception history to musical meaning and cultural memory. As a structural borrowing technique, parody often creates incongruity—whether lyrical, stylistic, thematic, evocative, aesthetic, or functional—within a recognized musical style. Parodists combine these musical incongruities with other comic techniques and social conventions to create humor. Parodists also rely on pre-existing music to create, reinforce, and police ethnic boundaries, which function within a racialized discourse through which parodists often negotiate ethnic identities along a white-black binary. Despite parody’s ubiquity in vernacular music and notwithstanding the genre’s resonance with several key themes from the age of fracture, cultivated musicians have generally parody. The genre’s structural borrowing technique limited the identities musicians could perform through parodic borrowings. This study suggests several areas of musicological inquiry that could be enriched through engagement with parody, a genre that offers a vast and largely unexplored repertoire indicating how musical, racial, and cultural ideas can circulate in popular discourse.
