Live and Let Evolve the James Bond Titles Live and Let Evolve The James Bond Titles EDWARD BIDDULPH 1 In recent years, the unveiling of the title of a James Bond flm has garnered a great deal of interest among journalists and James Bond fans alike. Before the ti- tle of the 25th flm, No Time To Die, was announced y Eon "the #roduction com- #any responsible for #roducing the Bond flms$, media outlets joined in with the speculation about #otential titles. An o#inion #iece in The Times y Ben Macin- tyre "2'()$, for example, considered the merits of the remaining unused titles y Ian +leming, while Empire Magazine announced that the working title of the flm was Shatterhand ",ravis 2'(-$. &edia interest in the titles, however, continues long afer the fren/ied coverage of the flm #roduction has died down and the flm0s cinematic run comes to an end, with the titles ty#ically re-emerging as, or inspiring, newspaper headlines. +or instance, in March 2'(), Metro s#lashed the following headline on its front #age in response to the #oisoning of Sergei Skri- #al in Salisbury2 3+rom 4ussia…6ith 7ate8 "4adnedge 2'()$. 4emarkably, the headline came 55 years afer From Russia With Love "(-9:$ was released and 9( years afer the book from which the flm derived was #ublished "(-5;$, attesting to the traction that the title has in #opular culture.

Many other elements of the Bond universe have been similarly ap#ropri- ated, not least Bond titles, on which the remaining discussion will largely focus. &y research ?uestions can now be recast in more suitable terms2 6hat gives cer- tain Bond titles a greater selective advantage than others? 6hat selection #res- sures are the use and variation of titles res#onding to? 6hy are some Bond titles 2 Ben Dullen "2'''$ has argued that culture acts more like viruses than genes< although, ironically, the term “meme8 has demonstrated evolutionary success and cultural ft- ness y adapting and coming to mean an image or text, usually humorous, that is spread with variation via the internet.

    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.

Hester ii MALE BONDING: A QUEER ANALYSIS OF THE JAMES BOND CANON by Grant C. Hester This dissertation was prepared under the direction of the candidate's dissertation advisor, Dr. Jane Caputi, Center for Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, Communication, and Multimedia and has been approved by the members of his supervisory committee. It was submitted to the faculty of the Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters and was accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Khaled Sobhan, Ph.D. Interim Dean, Graduate College iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Jane Caputi for guiding me through this process. She was truly there from this paper’s incubation as it was in her Sex, Violence, and Hollywood class where the idea that James Bond could be repressing his homosexuality first revealed itself to me. She encouraged the exploration and was an unbelievable sounding board every step to fruition. Stephen Charbonneau has also been an invaluable resource. Frankly, he changed the way I look at film. His door has always been open and he has given honest feedback and good advice. Oliver Buckton possesses a knowledge of James Bond that is unparalleled. I marvel at how he retains such information.
