McAllister Associate Professor of Communications Thesis Advisor Marie Hardin Associate Professor of Communications Ronald V. Bettig Associate Professor of Communications John S. Nichols Professor of Communications Associate Dean for Graduate Studies and Research *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT This study examines three Black Entertainment Television (BET) shows – The Black Carpet, The Boot and Baldwin Hills – assessing their popularly mediated economic and consumptive representations of Black America in the context of socioeconomic realities being lived in Black America. Using a critical textual analysis of these programs the thesis explores the extent to which consumers are being sold a mediated version of the American dream and Black identity through commodity fetishism, and argues that this symbolic construction has a hegemonic function by deterring the Black consumer’s attention from real to imaginary economic lifestyles. This study finds that, although the three programs differ on their levels of ideological intensity and specific characteristics, on BET as a whole blackness is a fetishized

Permission to reproduce this thesis in its entirety must be obtained from me. iii Hearing Moral Reform: Abolitionists and Slave Music, 1838-1870 Thesis by Karl Byrn ABSTRACT Purpose ofthe Study: The purpose of this study is to analyze commentary on slave music written by certain abolitionists during the American antebellum and Civil War periods. The analysis is not intended to follow existing scholarship regarding the origins and meanings of African-American music, but rather to treat this music commentary as a new source for understanding the abolitionist movement. By treating abolitionists' reports of slave music as records of their own culture, this study will identify larger intellectual and cultural currents that determined their listening conditions and reactions. Procedure: The primary sources involved in this study included journals, diaries, letters, articles, and books written before, during, and after the American Civil War. I found, in these sources, that the responses by abolitionists to the music of slaves and freedmen revealed complex ideologies and motivations driven by religious and reform traditions, antebellum musical cultures, and contemporary racial and social thinking.

A defense official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the US Navy would expand its presence in the Mediterranean to four destroyers from three. Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel, en route to Asia, said Obama had asked the Pentagon for options on Syria, where an apparent chemical weapons attack that killed as many as 1,000 civilians has upped pressure on Washington to respond. “The Defense Department has responsibility to provide the president with options for all contingencies,” Hagel said. “And that requires posi- tioning our forces, positioning our assets, to be able to carry out different options - whatever options the presi- dent might choose.” He did not elaborate. The defense official, who was not authorized to speak publicly, said the USS Mahan, a destroyer armed with cruise missiles, had finished its deployment and was due to head back to its home base in Norfolk, Virginia.

  • Hustler Magazine V. Falwell: the Application of the Actual Malice Standard to Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress Claims
    Case Comments Hustler Magazine v. Falwell: The Application of the Actual Malice Standard to Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress Claims I. INTRODUCTION "It is firmly settled that under our Constitution the public expression of ideas may not be prohibited merely because the ideas themselves are offensive to some of their hearers."' The constitutional protection provided by the first amendment, however, is not absolute2 and does not protect certain categories of communications such as defamation, 3 obscenity, 4 or incitement. 5 In Hustler Magazine v. Falwell,6 the Supreme Court held that a public figure who was the subject of an offensive parody could not recover damages for intentional infliction of emotional distress unless he or she established that the underlying publication contained a false statement of fact and that the defendant acted with "actual malice." 7 These two requirements guarantee the defendant the same level of first amendment protection whether the plaintiff pleads defamation or emotional distress. This Comment focuses on the first amendment protection accorded media de- fendants who are sued for intentional infliction of emotional distress. It begins by examining the recent Supreme Court decision which applied the actual malice standard to an intentional infliction of emotional distress claim. Second, it considers the protection provided by the actual malice standard in defamation actions. Third, the expanding use of the intentional infliction of emotional distress tort against media defendants is evaluated. Fourth, intentional infliction of emotional distress and def- amation claims are distinguished. Finally, this Comment concludes by evaluating the Supreme Court's decision and its possible effect on first amendment jurisprudence.
