  • PERFORMED IDENTITIES: HEAVY METAL MUSICIANS BETWEEN 1984 and 1991 Bradley C. Klypchak a Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate
    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.

  • Redefining the Rules of Engagement of the Cola Wars
    FW University of Florida Warrington College of Business Administration HONORS THESIS Redefining the Rules of Engagement in the Cola Wars A comparative study of multi-point corporate social responsibility practices as part of an integrated strategy and source of competitive advantage in the soft drink manufacturing industry. Presented by: Frederique Whitaker UF ID: 4104 - 9853 Faculty Advisor: Jennifer Knippen ~ 1 ~ FW Abstract: The Cola Wars commenced over a century ago as Coca-Cola and Pepsi vigorously began fighting for market share in the soft drink manufacturing industry. Today the war continues but the battlefield has expanded beyond the storefront to all the firms’ stakeholders. This thesis seeks to explain the linkages between these two firms' corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices and their respective resources and capabilities, and suggests these linkages could help explain differentials in performance between the two rivals. This result will be achieved through both industry- and firm-level analyses, to identify sources of superior profitability and competitive advantage in The Coca-Cola Company and PepsiCo, before analyzing each firm's multi-faceted approach to CSR, the linkages between their practices and resources and capabilities and the implications for each firm’s respective performance. This analysis concludes with some future strategy recommendations for these two industry leaders. ~ 2 ~ FW Table of Contents Introduction ...................................................................................................................................................4
