Griffith Featuring interviews with: Edward Alwood Journalist and Historian Richard Dyer University of Warwick, UK John Erni University of New Hampshire Larry Gross Annenberg School for Communication, University of Pennsylvania Lisa Henderson University of Massachusetts – Amherst Marguerite Moritz University of Colorado at Boulder Charles Nero Bates College Sasha Torres Johns Hopkins University Media Education Foundation © MEF 1998 2 INTRODUCTION Montage of Media clips [Unlabeled media] Why am I a homosexual? [Unlabeled media] I’m a homosexual. [TV: Ellen] I’m gay. [TV: The Simpsons] You know me Marge. I like my beer cold, my TV loud, and my homosexuals flaming. NARRATOR: Most of us grow up not knowing any openly lesbian, gay, or bisexual people. But television offers us a rich panoply of characters for understanding the world. So what images of gay life does television offer? What is possible in a commercial medium that demands high audience ratings to maximize advertising revenues? This program is about how gays, lesbians, and bisexuals have been written into a straight television world, and how gay audiences have made room for themselves within it. 3 THE EARLY YEARS – Seen and Not Heard NARRATOR: The 1960’s were a time of political ferment. The movements for civil rights, women’s liberation, and the end of the Vietnam War were profoundly disruptive to a society emerging from the seeming consensus of the late 1950’s.

    The Symbolic Rape of Representation: a Rhetorical Analysis of Black Musical Expression on Billboard's Hot 100 Charts

    THE SYMBOLIC RAPE OF REPRESENTATION: A RHETORICAL ANALYSIS OF BLACK MUSICAL EXPRESSION ON BILLBOARD'S HOT 100 CHARTS Richard Sheldon Koonce 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 December 2006 Committee: John Makay, Advisor William Coggin Graduate Faculty Representative Lynda Dee Dixon Radhika Gajjala ii ABSTRACT John J. Makay, Advisor The purpose of this study is to use rhetorical criticism as a means of examining how Blacks are depicted in the lyrics of popular songs, particularly hip-hop music. This study provides a rhetorical analysis of 40 popular songs on Billboard’s Hot 100 Singles Charts from 1999 to 2006. The songs were selected from the Billboard charts, which were accessible to me as a paid subscriber of Napster. The rhetorical analysis of these songs will be bolstered through the use of Black feminist/critical theories. This study will extend previous research regarding the rhetoric of song. It also will identify some of the shared themes in music produced by Blacks, particularly the genre commonly referred to as hip-hop music. This analysis builds upon the idea that the majority of hip-hop music produced and performed by Black recording artists reinforces racial stereotypes, and thus, hegemony. The study supports the concept of which bell hooks (1981) frequently refers to as white supremacist capitalist patriarchy and what Hill-Collins (2000) refers to as the hegemonic domain. The analysis also provides a framework for analyzing the themes of popular songs across genres. The genres ultimately are viewed through the gaze of race and gender because Black male recording artists perform the majority of hip-hop songs.

Especially when last year’s hit might not even register today. How do we know what is truly valuable and effective? By listening to the experts – our mentors, our teachers – people with invaluable experience and knowledge. Which brings us to the NEXT challenge: where do we find them? Who do we turn to? That’s where this report comes in. We decided to help marketers, public relations officers, CEOs and CMOs everywhere by tracking down the top digital marketers on the web and analyzing their data. We’re proud to celebrate the top digital marketing experts of 2019! Bloggers, podcasters, speakers and more – these are our mentors, and we thank them for continuing to generously share their knowledge. 2019 EDITION 3 02.
