Racial Gatekeeping in Country & Hip-Hop Music By Cervanté Pope Student ID #: 947767021 Portland State University Pope 2 Introduction In mass communication, gatekeeping refers to how information is edited, shaped and controlled in efforts to construct a “social reality” (Shoemaker, Eichholz, Kim, & Wrigley, 2001). Gatekeeping has expanded into other fields throughout the years, with its concepts growing more and more easily applicable in many other aspects of life. One way it presents itself is in regard to racial inclusion and equality, and despite the headway we’ve seemingly made as a society, we are still lightyears away from where we need to be. Because of this, the concept of cultural property has become even more paramount, as a means for keeping one’s cultural history and identity preserved.

  • A Comparison of the Verbal Teaching Patterns of Two Groups of Secondary
    A comparison of the verbal teaching patterns of two groups of secondary student teachers, Montana State University, 1969-70 by Dennis Larry Martinen A thesis submitted to the Graduate Faculty in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree \ of DOCTOR OF EDUCATION in Secondary Education Montana State University © Copyright by Dennis Larry Martinen (1970) Abstract: The problem in this study was to investigate the verbal teaching patterns of secondary student teachers and to determine essentially what these teaching patterns were. As a corollary to the problem, the Rokeach Dogmatism Scale and the Teaching Situation Reaction Test were administered to student teachers to determine if these tests could predict successful student teachers prior to their student teaching experience in the secondary schools of Montana. It was the purpose of this study, then, to record and analyze the verbal behavior patterns of two groups of secondary student teachers. One group, the control group, consisted of students who went through the regular training program. The other group received twenty hours of training in interaction analysis. Selected aspects of the reconstructed Flanders' matrix were compared and analyzed. Another aspect of the problem dealt with the possible predictive value of the Teaching Situation Reaction Test and the Rokeach Dogmatism Scale as they pertained to superior teaching. A comparison and analysis was made between scores achieved on the two tests and such quantitative elements as grade point average in the major subject area, mean scores on the rating forms used by Montana State University supervisors and the grade given to measure the success in student teaching.

  • Black Bottom of Modernity: the Racial Imagination of Japanese Modernism in the 1930S

No copies of this work may be distributed, electronically or otherwise, in whole or in part, without permission from the author. Black Bottom of Modernity: The Racial Imagination of Japanese Modernism in the 1930s Keiko NITTA* APPROPRIATION OF THE PRIMITIVE In 1930, the eminent Japanese literary critic of the day Soichi Oya summarized “modernism” in terms of its fascination with the element of the “primitive”: Modernism starts with abolishing the traditional norms of various phases of life. Free and unrestricted from everything, and led by the most intense stimulus, it amplifies its own excitement; in this sense, modernism has much in common with primitivism. It is jazz that flows with colorful artificial illumination to the pavements of the modern metropolis, bewitching pedestrians. Such bewitching exemplifies the surrender of civilizations to barbarism.1 As Oya stated here, jazz was symbolized as something not merely primitive but also something indicating a modern taste for “barbarism.” Similar to the contemporaneous American author F. Scott Fitzgerald, who coined the term “the Jazz Age,”2 Japanese intellectuals attempted to establish their own “modernized” status as consumers of art and culture defined as primitive. It *Professor, Rikkyo University 97 98 KEIKO NITTA is to this paradoxical imagination of Japanese modernism that I turn my attention in this article. I will particularly look at creational tendencies of a short-lived but once quite dominant literary circle in Japan in the early 1930s.
