    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.

  • Re-Imagining United States History Through Contemporary Asian American and Latina/O Literature
    LATINASIAN NATION: RE-IMAGINING UNITED STATES HISTORY THROUGH CONTEMPORARY ASIAN AMERICAN AND LATINA/O LITERATURE Susan Bramley Thananopavarn A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English and Comparative Literature in the College of Arts and Sciences. Chapel Hill 2015 Approved by: María DeGuzmán Jennifer Ho Minrose Gwin Laura Halperin Ruth Salvaggio © 2015 Susan Bramley Thananopavarn ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Susan Thananopavarn: LatinAsian Nation: Re-imagining United States History through Contemporary Asian American and Latina/o Literature (Under the direction of Jennifer Ho and María DeGuzmán) Asian American and Latina/o populations in the United States are often considered marginal to discourses of United States history and nationhood. From laws like the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act to the extensive, racially targeted immigration rhetoric of the twenty-first century, dominant discourses in the United States have legally and rhetorically defined Asian and Latina/o Americans as alien to the imagined nation. However, these groups have histories within the United States that stretch back more than four hundred years and complicate foundational narratives like the immigrant “melting pot,” the black/white binary, and American exceptionalism. This project examines how Asian American and Latina/o literary narratives can rewrite official histories and situate American history within a global context. The literary texts that I examine – including works by Carlos Bulosan, Américo Paredes, Luis Valdez, Mitsuye Yamada, Susan Choi, Achy Obejas, Karen Tei Yamashita, Cristina García, and Siu Kam Wen – create a “LatinAsian” view of the Americas that highlights and challenges suppressed aspects of United States history.

  • Jorge Huerta
    The Challenges and Responsibilities of Being First, or What’s a Nice Guy Like You Doing in a Place Like This? Jorge Huerta [Jorge Huerta’s address was presented at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington DC on April 19, 2009.] Let me begin by thanking the Board for this tremendous honor. I am humbled by this opportunity to share my thoughts with you this morning, because, as you all know, I am preceded in this endeavor by some very special Fellows. But then, we’re ALL special, which is why we’re here, isn’t it? So this Stevens Address is from one special person to a room full of very special people. Perhaps that answers the question, “What’s a nice guy like you doing in a place like this?” What is not necessarily clear, however, is “The Challenges and Responsibilities of Being First.” “The first what?” For starters, I am the first Chicano to be inducted into the College of Fellows. Some of you recall that the late Jose Quintero was inducted into the College in 1993 but Mr. Quintero, one of the great American directors, was born in Panama of a Spanish father and a Panamanian mother. And, we know that he was proud of his Hispanic heritage, given the fact that he did not change his name to “Joe Quince.” But he wasn’t a Chicano, which is to say, born in the United States of Mexican parents. More-to-the-point, born in EAST L. A., to Mexican parents.

  • Luis M. Valdez Pomona College Commencement 2009 May 17, 2009
    Luis M. Valdez Pomona College Commencement 2009 May 17, 2009 Thank you, David, President Oxtoby and my colleague Alma Martinez, thank you. Colleagues of the faculty and honored graduates of the class of 2009. I want to thank you for this honor. I pass it on to all the colleagues I have worked with. I want to share with you a little story. When I was in high school, way back in the mid-‘50s, it’s quite a time ago, I lived on a dirt street in a barrio in East San Jose and I used to carry my books home from high school. And there was our gang, our local gang, in that neighborhood. They were called the Blue Velvets. They wore blue velvet jean jackets [with] a heart with a knife through it, three drops from the tip of the knife. Very cool. I wanted one of those, but I didn’t want to be a member of the gang. In any case, I brought my books home to study every day, and these gang members used to watch me. And one day, they got fed up and stopped me, right in the middle of the street, and said, “Oye, pues, ¿qué te traes? What’s up with you, dude? What are you carrying all those books for? What are you doing? You showing off? You think you’re smart? You think you’re better than us? ¿Qué te traes, cabrón?” And I said, “No, no, no. I’m studying.” “You lifting weights?” I said, “No, I’m studying.

  • Somewhere Between Brecht & Cantinflas the Origin and Evolution of El Teatro Campesino Thursday, October 16, 2014, 6:30
    NEWS ADVISORY Contact: Jim Yoshioka, 956-9424 or [email protected] October 1, 2014 University of Hawai’i at Mānoa Somewhere Between Brecht & Cantinflas The Origin and Evolution of El Teatro Campesino A Presentation by Luis Valdez Internationally Renowned Playwright, Director, and Filmmaker Luis Valdez is regarded as one of the most important and influential American playwrights living today. His internationally renowned, and Obie award-winning theatre company, El Teatro Campesino (The Farm Workers’ Theater) was founded by Valdez in 1965 in the heat of the United Farm Workers (UFW) struggle and the Great Delano Grape Strike in California’s Central Valley. Creating biting satirical actos (short plays) on the picket lines, the company of striking farm workers quickly learned to use humor as a non-violent weapon. Two years later, El Teatro Campesino would become an independent non-profit cultural center that helped inspire and define the Chicano Movement. Valdez created documentaries and specials on PBS, and went on to write and direct feature films, notably “Zoot Suit” and “La Bamba.” His involvement with Cesar Chavez, the UFW, and the early Chicano Movement left an indelible mark that remains embodied in his impressive span of work. A half century down the road, from picket lines to Broadway, and from university campuses to Hollywood studios, he looks back at the trajectory of his career as an American maestro. Valdez just staged his newest play “Valley of the Heart” at his company’s playhouse in San Juan Bautista, California. About to celebrate El Teatro’s 50th anniversary in 2015, he examines the origins and evolution of his theater, which he originally described as existing “somewhere between Brecht and Cantinflas,” referencing the German playwright and Mexican comedy actor.
