    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.

  • 2014 Annual Report Message from Rock the Vote’S President
    2014 ANNUAL REPORT MESSAGE FROM ROCK THE VOTE’S PRESIDENT Twelve months ago, I became President of Rock the Vote and took the helm of one of the nation’s premier civic engagement organizations. And in the last year, I’ve had the pleasure of seeing firsthand the power Rock the Vote has to engage young people and our elections -- and the importance of doing so. With an all-out assault on voting rights across the country, increased barriers to voting, and partisan dysfunction driving many young people away from politics, it’s clear that Rock the Vote’s work is more important than ever. In 2014, to counter this widespread disinterest, Rock the Vote engaged in a variety of tactics to inspire young people’s civic participation. We registered nearly 800,000 voters, helped make voting rights a major topic in news coverage, and made voting cool through numerous digital and cultural campaigns that featured cultural leaders like Lil Jon, Kendall Jenner and Lena Dunham. Our “Turn Out For What” music video garnered 10.5 million views online and became the election-year anthem. We also measured our impact every step along the way to inform our programming in future years. While I’m extremely proud of what this organization accomplished, we cannot rest on our laurels. As we approach our 25th anniversary -- and also the 2016 elections -- we have the opportunity to prove once again that we are more than capable of meeting tomorrow’s challenges. We must continue to cultivate a culture of voting; educate young voters; and fight to make it easier to participate in our country’s democratic process.

So why do we think that First Ladies need to dress only in namby- pamby jewel-colored suits? True, we have elected our First Lady’s husband President, and we haven’t voted for her, but that doesn’t mean that the woman in question can’t wear something more exciting. So WWD approached some New York designers and asked them to design new looks for both potential First Ladies. Here, Oscar de la Renta, who has actually dressed both women (along with Hillary Clinton), offers an evening suit for Teresa Heinz Kerry and a gown for Laura Bush.

  • Chapter Nineteen
    CHAPTER NINETEEN CONNECTION BETWEEN MUSIC AND POLITICS: AN OVERVIEW Emmanuel Emelike Abstract Music plays prominent roles in all the social institutions of which politics is one of them and music and politics complement each other in many aspects. This work examines the corrective, commendatory, informative, recommendatory, didactic and medicinal roles music plays in politics; in other words, the paper highlights the undeniable relationship and romance that exists between music and politics. This work also will highlight some types of music and their political roles and influence. Keywords: Music, Politics, Governance and Humanity Introduction Music and politics mean many things to different people. Generally, music is defined as an art of sound in time that expresses ideas and emotions of rhythms, melody, harmony and colour. It is also seen as food for the soul and the Christian church sees music as the life wire of the church. Politics is defined as a set of activities associated with the governance of a country, state or an area involves in making decisions that applies to groups of members. It refers to achieving and exercising positions of governance – organized control over a human community. Both music and politics appeal to the emotions of the people and there is no doubting the fact that music plays a visible role in every social institution of which politics is one of them and without music life will be very boring at all levels and in every culture. Music plays corrective, commendatory, informative, recommendatory, didactic and medicinal roles in politics and to politicians. This article is aimed at x-raying the relationship or the marriage between music and politics and of a truth the importance of music to politics cannot be overemphasized.

    CASE STUDY ROCK THE VOTE The Situation Despite governmental strategies such as provid- ing easier registration opportunities to increase youth voter turnout, 18– to 29-year-olds were not exercising their right to vote in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The root of the problem was attributed to a myriad of reasons such as lack of confidence in the government, failure to view (Birkner, 2016).

  • ABSTRACT the YOUNG AMERICAN VOTER Michael J. Pomante II, Ph.D
    ABSTRACT THE YOUNG AMERICAN VOTER Michael J. Pomante II, Ph.D. Department of Political Science Northern Illinois University, 2016 Scot Schraufnagel, Director Since Converse’s work in 1971, political scientists have noted the abysmal level of participation by young Americans on Election Day. One possible reason for the negative comments by academics is their assumption that young people will react to socio-political and economic contexts in the same manner as other segments of the voting population. A second possible explanation for the negative reports is that not all relevant variables, which explain deviation in youth mobilization levels, have been uncovered. The research reported herein explores potential American voters between the ages of 18 to 24 with an eye toward uncovering unique explanations for their lower levels of mobilization and possible new variables that others have failed to consider. Specifically, the research demonstrates three ways in which younger voters are different from the voting population 25 years of age and older. For instance, it is widely recognized that economic hardship can influence democratic participation rates, this research uncovers evidence to suggest a traditional definition of unemployment is not the best measure for capturing the “economic hardship” of young Americans. With a new measure of unemployment, which includes discouraged workers and the underemployed, I learn that the youngest age group is mobilized to vote. Older individuals, on the other hand, continue to associate with lower participation rates when economic hardship is higher. Second, the research uncovers the overall detrimental effects of state laws which raise the relative costs of voting. The research develops a wholly new Cost of Voting Index (COVI) to capture these effects.
