  • Hip Hop Family in the Underground: the Words and Actions of the True School Community in Atlanta, Georgia
    THESIS HIP HOP FAMILY IN THE UNDERGROUND: THE WORDS AND ACTIONS OF THE TRUE SCHOOL COMMUNITY IN ATLANTA, GEORGIA Submitted by Andrew Anil Kumar Department of Anthropology In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Master of Arts Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Fall 2010 Master’s Committee: Department Chair: Kathleen A Sherman Advisor: Katherine E. Browne Richard Breaux Jeffery Snodgrass ABSTRACT OF THESIS HIP HOP FAMILY IN THE UNDERGROUND: THE WORDS AND ACTIONS OF THE TRUE SCHOOL COMMUNITY IN ATLANTA, GEORGIA Hip Hop Culture is the fastest growing culture on earth. Around the world, people of multiple ethnicities, religions, economic backgrounds, and political affiliations consume and produce Hip Hop music and culture for a range of reasons. The music and art surrounding the culture has been intimately tied to the entertainment industry, and Hip Hop’s national and international dissemination speaks volumes about the processes and outcomes of globalization. It is for this reason that the vehicle of Hip Hop is a useful tool to analyze a wide range of topics like gender, class, ethnicity, business, and performance to name a few. In my thesis I explore underground Hip Hop culture in Atlanta Georgia. My analysis draws on fieldwork I conducted from 2008 to 2009 and includes data from participant observation, semi-structured interviews, and a survey. In Atlanta Georgia, a group of underground Hip Hop practitioners and consumers who are affiliated with a socially conscious movement within the culture known as “True School,” form a tight network. This network is rooted in deep local connections to one another reinforced by multiple exchanges of resources and information as well as commitment to a community ethos that is tied to the True School Movement.

    Stand-Up Comedy and Everyday Life: Post-war British Comedy and the Subversive Strain. Christopher Ritchie. Goldsmiths College, London, Ph. D Drama, 1998. - ME Ia- AM GOLDSMITHS 87 0079879 6 Abstract. This thesis "examinee,,, its to life , . stand-up comedy and relation everyday and presents a model of everyday life in the commodity society. It seeks to define stand up comedy and how it works as a performance mode and will offer a definition of the stand-up comedian. It will examine how jokes reflect opinions and attitudes within everyday life and how they can communicate negative cultural myths, stereotypes and ideologies but also reach beyond the merely absurd and comical to present authentic moments that enable us to locate the truth about ourselves. The thesis seeks to locate a stand-up comedy that enables us to understand ourselves in relation to life in the commodity society. The thesis traces a subversive lineage through post-Second World War comedy from The Goon Show through the satirists of the 1960s and Monty Pylhon's Flying Circus to Alternative Comedy and stand-up comedians in the present day. The 'Alternative Comedy moment' between 1979 and 1981 is central to the thesis as is the relation to American stand-up comedy, Punk and the rise of reactionary humour in Britain. Alternative Comedy is identified and placed in a social, political and counter-cultural context. The achievements and failures of this comedy will be discussed with particular focus on the redefinition of the role of women and sexual politics in stand-up comedy and the creation of a thriving London cabaret and comedy scene.

  • The Late Hour---Has Apostasy Come? XXX-39 9-6-89 Okay I'll
    The Late Hour---Has Apostasy Come? XXX-39 9-6-89 Okay I'll read to you beginning in Luke chapter 12 verse 54-56. I'm going to read several different scriptures and then I'll begin to tell you what I have to say related to these areas. This is Jesus talking about discerning of the times. Then He said to the multitudes, "When you see a cloud rising out of the west, immediately you say, "A shower is coming," and so it is. When you see the south wind blow you say, "There will be hot weather," and there sure is. You hypocrites." He's talking to the religious people of His day. He's talking about those people who are considered religious. You can discern the face of the sky and of the earth but how come it is that you do not discern this time, this time? How come you can't discern this time? I'll go back to Matthew chapter 17 verse 24-27. "And when they had come to Capernaum, those who receive the temple tax came to Peter and said, "Does your teacher not pay the temple tax?" And He said, "Yes." And when he had come into the house, Jesus anticipated him saying, "What do you think Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth take customs or taxes? Do they take it from their own sons? Or do they take it from strangers?" Peter said to Him, "From strangers." Jesus said to him, "Then the sons are free.

    www.TLHjournal.com Literary Herald ISSN: 2454-3365 An International Refereed/Peer-reviewed English e-Journal Impact Factor: 4.727 (SJIF) A Study of Murder in the Cathedral as a Poetic Drama The History of Modern Poetic Drama Dr Raji Saju English Language Centre Ibra College of Technology Sultanate of Oman Abstract: This study purports to enquire about the poetic drama from the twentieth century which describes the Murder in the Cathedral. The deteriorating naturalistic prose plays of Ibsen, Shaw and Galsworthy paved way to the rise of English poetic drama in the twentieth century. Its photographic realism failed to convey the tension and complexity of contemporary life. Stephen Phillips’ Herod (1901) led to the revival of poetic drama followed by great Irish writers like Yeats, Synge and O'Casey. It also focuses on Eliot’s views on poetic drama and he reiterates that the greatest drama is poetic drama and poetic excellence can compensate for dramatic defects. This study also deals with a brief historical background of the play with special mention about its theme, the role of the chorus and as a poetic drama. Keywords: poetic drama, martyrdom, chorus, tragic hero It was through the medium of prose that the Elizabethans wrote plays by mixing convention and naturalism, prose and verse. The dominance of poetry went unchanged until the 18th century. Since 18th century was primarily the age of prose, Goldsmith and Sheridan failed to realise the importance of verse as a medium of drama. Attempts were made by Byron, Shelley, Tennyson and Browning but they also failed because they were poets and not dramatists.
