  • THE STAGING of the FEMALE BODY in University of Stavanger COUNTRY MUSIC [email protected]
    MÜZİKTE TEMSİL & MÜZİKSEL TEMSİL II ‘STAND BY YOUR MAN’ Lise K. Özgen THE STAGING OF THE FEMALE BODY IN University of Stavanger COUNTRY MUSIC [email protected] I am going to look at performativity and expressions of femininity in popular music; more specifically in country music. An interesting example can be the Canadian singer d.lang, where the transition between women/man dynamic to a more ambiguous gender construction is fundamental in how lang represents herself through her songs. Performativity The connection between gender and performance has been discussed in many cultural theoretical settings, using the term ‘masquerade’. The term has become an important and nuanced theoretical aspect of femininity and its representation. Joan Riviere’s ‘Womanliness as a Masquerade’ from 1929 holds a key place in discussion of female sexuality in psychoanalysis. Riviere argued that femininity was a performance where there was no genuine femininity separate from the masquerade; there is no distinction between authentic womanliness and its masquerade. “Womanliness ... could be assumed and worn as a mask, both to hide the possession of masculinity and to avert the reprisals expected if she was found to possess it…” (Riviere 1929:213). According to this, gendered identities are produced and performed in everything one does, and there is no gendered identity separate from performance. Performance demands the idea of an act, where the performer constructs a fabricated or invented identity. In this context we can also include Judith Butler’s ideas about performativity. We as individuals create ourselves through activities. Performance is not something passive which carries in it an inherent meaning; instead we are created by active actions that confirm meaning.

  • “The Stories Behind the Songs”
    “The Stories Behind The Songs” John Henderson The Stories Behind The Songs A compilation of “inside stories” behind classic country hits and the artists associated with them John Debbie & John By John Henderson (Arrangement by Debbie Henderson) A fascinating and entertaining look at the life and recording efforts of some of country music’s most talented singers and songwriters 1 Author’s Note My background in country music started before I even reached grade school. I was four years old when my uncle, Jack Henderson, the program director of 50,000 watt KCUL-AM in Fort Worth/Dallas, came to visit my family in 1959. He brought me around one hundred and fifty 45 RPM records from his station (duplicate copies that they no longer needed) and a small record player that played only 45s (not albums). I played those records day and night, completely wore them out. From that point, I wanted to be a disc jockey. But instead of going for the usual “comedic” approach most DJs took, I tried to be more informative by dropping in tidbits of a song’s background, something that always fascinated me. Originally with my “Classic Country Music Stories” site on Facebook (which is still going strong), and now with this book, I can tell the whole story, something that time restraints on radio wouldn’t allow. I began deejaying as a career at the age of sixteen in 1971, most notably at Nashville’s WENO-AM and WKDA- AM, Lakeland, Florida’s WPCV-FM (past winner of the “Radio Station of the Year” award from the Country Music Association), and Springfield, Missouri’s KTTS AM & FM and KWTO-AM, but with syndication and automation which overwhelmed radio some twenty-five years ago, my final DJ position ended in 1992.

Because country music is marketed and understood by many of its fans as a representation of a lifestyle, this shift in expectations for women’s social roles and possibilities in the genre has an impact on the women who identify themselves with the particular rural, down-home image country music aims to define.

This thesis proposes research into the topic of country music, specifically the ways which country music songs portray gender. The thesis uses Billboard chart data to determine commercially successful songs, and performs a content analysis on the lyrics of these songs. I will select songs from a fifty year period ranging from 1955 to 2005, so as to allow for a longitudinal study of potential changes in

  • The Jams' and the KLF's Invocation of Mu

KeY to their mYthological project was their association with the fictional lost island-continent of Mu (with the band name JAMs being an abbreviation for ‘Justified Ancients of Mu Mu’). The latter identitY was derived from Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson’s Illuminatus trilogY of novels in which the aforementioned “ancients” were a secret brotherhood involved in combatting the rival Illuminati, who originated in Atlantis. As the JAMS’ and KLF’s oeuvres progressed, aspects of Mu and Atlantis were synthesised by CautY and Drummond with elements of other actual and fictional islands. The article traces the initial imagination and representation of Mu in esoteric crYpto-historical literature, its rearticulation in Shea and Wilson’s counter-cultural novels and its invocation and function in CautY and Drummond’s work with The JAMs and The KLF.

CONDICIÓN. FUTURO (WILL) SSttaanndd bbyy yyoouurr mmaann Tammy Wynette Born Virginia Wynette Pugh on May 5, 1942, on a cotton farm in Itawamba County, Mississippi, Tammy spent her youth picking cotton, working as a beautician, a waitress, and a shoe-factory employee before her rise to stardom. By age seven, Tammy was working the cotton fields along with other relatives on the family farm. Her father's legacy -a piano, a guitar and the dream that his daughter would make music her life- became her only escape from the dull, arduous routine of farm life. As a teenage bride she found times even harder than she'd known at home. She had two children within three years and her husband, an itinerant construction worker, was unemployed more often than not. Fed up with poverty, Tammy enrolled in beauty school in nearby Tupelo, funding her schooling with money given to her by her mother. Her shaky marriage crumbled, and while getting a divorce she worked 10 hour days as a hairdresser, after getting up at 4 a.m. each day to sing on the local "Country Boy Eddie" TV show. In 1965 she began making regular trips to Nashville meeting producers and trying to attain a recording contract. In 1966, after months of rejections and on the brink of giving up, she made the decision to move to Nashville anyway.

  • Country Music and the Women's Liberation Movement
    You Ain’t Woman Enough: Country Music and the Women’s Liberation Movement by Flynn O’Connor A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the degree of Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in American Studies. Department of American Studies. Sydney, Australia October 2017 © Flynn O’Connor, 2017 All rights reserved i Abstract Country music is perceived and presented as an intrinsically conservative genre, built around the cultural paradigms that defined mid-20th Century American conservatism. Often centred around ideals of domesticity, labour and religion, the genre has found a geographic hub within America’s largely conservative Southern states. The logical assumption to follow this would be to assume that the women of country music follow a similar conservative political path. However, when compared to the Women’s Liberation Movement, a largely leftist political movement, we can see that ultimately this is not true. Though the women’s liberation movement was centred around the urban Northeast, when observing the lyrics, interviews and public perceptions of prominent women in country music we can see considerable similarities between their actions and the motivations of the movement. By observing the work of Kitty Wells, we can see an often-contradictory understanding of the role of the housewife, as she appears prominently as a pioneer within the genre and her family’s primary breadwinner. Tammy Wynette’s music, though thematically very different, features considerable similarities to the form of activism known as consciousness raising, and Loretta Lynn consistently presents lyrics and themes that subvert what is expected of her as a Southern woman. Ultimately, an observation of these women’s careers shows us two things; firstly, their success points to a Southern market in which the ideals of the women’s liberation movement are valued.
