  • Social Media As a Contributing Stressor to Intimate Partner Violence and Femicide
    US-China Foreign Language, July 2017, Vol. 15, No. 7, 465-478 doi:10.17265/1539-8080/2017.07.007 D DAVID PUBLISHING Social Media as a Contributing Stressor to Intimate Partner Violence and Femicide Dr. Amanda Maitland EL Amri JNFLS International Centre, Jinan, Shandong Province, China This article focuses on a preliminary study which has examined ways in which social media may help cause stalker murder by individuals with personality disorders and a strong sense of sexual propriety. The study suggests that a public display on social media by the intended victim may trigger interpersonal violence. The study explores case studies of intimate partner murders using news media sources and documentaries. In all of the case studies, social media interaction and postings occurred shortly before murder. It is argued that the case studies demonstrate a preponderance of correlations between the social media postings, stalking behaviours, personality disorders, and the murder of an intimate partner. Moreover, the case studies provide a profile for Facebook/social media murder. The complex relationship between severe violence, stalking, borderline personality, and intimate partner violence is shown in this study. In addition to this, the struggle clients have in dealing with the: public, ambiguous, and unrelenting nature of social media postings has been explored. Finally, the sense of sexual propriety and entitlement found in the attitudes of the murderer and evident in all the case studies will be discussed. It is likely that therapists, psychologists, nurses, criminologists, and social workers will find this study of interest. Keywords: social media, borderline personality, murder, cyberstalking, intimate partner violence, sexual propriety, Facebook, Snapchat, Myspace Introduction Social media creates relational dissatisfaction and “mild” to “moderate” jealousy in individuals’ considered to have a normal state of mental health (Dainton, 2016; Papp, Danielewitz, & Cayemberb, 2012; Seidman, 2016).

  • Woody Guthrie's Angry Sons and Daughters
    “Seeds Blowin’ Up the Highway in the South Wind”: Woody Guthrie’s Angry Sons and Daughters Roxanne Harde University of Alberta, Augustana1 Abstract Both anger and hope drive Woody Guthrie’s protest songs. Lyrics like “This Land Is Your Land” offer a hopefully angry voice that continues to be heard in the work of contemporary American singer-songwriters. This essay analyzes the ways in which Guthrie’s voice and vision continue to inform the songs of Bruce Springsteen, Steve Earle, Patty Griffin, Gillian Welch and David Rawlings, and Mary Gauthier. By bringing Guthrie’s hopeful anger that insists on justice and mercy and precludes sentimentality, hostility, and nihilism into conversation with the artists who continue his legacy of activism, this paper looks to the “Seeds” Guthrie sowed. In November 2009, at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 25th Anniversary Concert, Bruce Springsteen opened his set with an astute and angry commentary and then introduced the perpetually enraged Tom Morello before launching into a blistering version of “The Ghost of Tom Joad,” just one of many Springsteen songs that depend upon the work of Woody Guthrie. “If you pick up the newspaper, you see millions of people out of work; you see a blood fight over decent health care for our citizens, and you see people struggling to hold on to their homes,” Springsteen said: “If Woody Guthrie were alive today, he’d have a lot to write about: high times on Wall Street and hard times on Main Street.” Relatedly, when David Rawlings performs “I Hear Them All,” with or without 1 Copyright © Roxanne Harde, 2018.

  • Six Contemporary Country Musicians to Perform in a Concert for a Landmine Free World Dec. 4 at UCSD
    Six contemporary country musicians to perform in a Concert for a Landmine Free World Dec. 4 at UCSD November 12, 1999 Media Contact: Ruth Baily at University Events, (858) 534-0497, [email protected] or Jan Jennings, (858) 822-1684, [email protected] SIX CONTEMPORARY COUNTRY MUSICIANS TO PERFORM IN A CONCERT FOR A LANDMINE FREE WORLD DEC. 4 AT UCSD Six contemporary country singer/songwriter/musicians will entertain in a Concert for a Landmine Free World at 8 p.m. Dec. 4 in Mandeville Auditorium at the University of California, San Diego. The performers include Emmylou Harris, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Guy Clark, Steve Earle, Gillian Welch and David Rawlings. In addition to providing a lively evening of country music, the purpose of the concert is to alert the public to Vietnam Veterans of America Foundation's (VVAF) Campaign for a Landmine Free World and build public awareness to the damage caused by landmines. "The landmine is an issue of peacetime," says singer/songwriter Emmylou Harris, who has visited a rehabilitation center in Cambodia. "Even though it's a weapon of war, it impacts people who are trying to live in peace. There will never be peace in a country like Cambodia or Angola or Afghanistan as long as there are landmines, because the people ... don't have the freedom to walk their homeland." Proceeds from the Dec. 4 concert will go toward the VVAF's Campaign for a Landmine Free World. Harris is a Grammy Award-winning artist who has numerous gold records and Top Ten hits and has released more than 25 albums.

  • Time's the Revelator
    Time’s the Revelator: Revival and Resurgence in Alt.country and Modern Old-Time American Music Ashley Denise Melzer A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of American Studies (Folklore). Chapel Hill 2009 Approved by: Dr. William Ferris Dr. Robert Cantwell Dr. Patricia Sawin © 2009 Ashley Denise Melzer ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT ASHLEY MELZER: Time’s the Revelator: Revival and Resurgence in Alt.country and Modern Old-Time American Music (Under the directions of Dr. William Ferris, Dr. Robert Cantwell, and Dr. Patricia Sawin) This thesis investigates the relationship between the modern old-time and alt.country movements through the comparison of four different female musicians: Abigail Washburn, Rayna Gellert, Gillian Welch, and Neko Case. These four women often pull from the same wellspring of old-time songs/structures/sounds, but their instincts come from exceptionally different places. The disparity between the ways they approach their music, reveals how the push toward modern capitalist industrialism has affected how different artists and communities access and transmit those old-world icons and sounds. Furthermore, their engagement specifically with the topic of gender exposes key tactical differences. Old-time musicians, Washburn and Gellert, work within the strictures of tradition so as to remain in dialogue with their community. Welch and Case play into the experimental bent of alt.country to emotionally affect listeners in order to create discreet, personal connections between themselves and their audience. iii To the ones who listen and love me anyway iv PREFACE In the summer, Florida is so hot the home becomes some dark prison of necessary air conditioning.
