    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.

  • The Globalization of K-Pop: the Interplay of External and Internal Forces
    THE GLOBALIZATION OF K-POP: THE INTERPLAY OF EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL FORCES Master Thesis presented by Hiu Yan Kong Furtwangen University MBA WS14/16 Matriculation Number 249536 May, 2016 Sworn Statement I hereby solemnly declare on my oath that the work presented has been carried out by me alone without any form of illicit assistance. All sources used have been fully quoted. (Signature, Date) Abstract This thesis aims to provide a comprehensive and systematic analysis about the growing popularity of Korean pop music (K-pop) worldwide in recent years. On one hand, the international expansion of K-pop can be understood as a result of the strategic planning and business execution that are created and carried out by the entertainment agencies. On the other hand, external circumstances such as the rise of social media also create a wide array of opportunities for K-pop to broaden its global appeal. The research explores the ways how the interplay between external circumstances and organizational strategies has jointly contributed to the global circulation of K-pop. The research starts with providing a general descriptive overview of K-pop. Following that, quantitative methods are applied to measure and assess the international recognition and global spread of K-pop. Next, a systematic approach is used to identify and analyze factors and forces that have important influences and implications on K-pop’s globalization. The analysis is carried out based on three levels of business environment which are macro, operating, and internal level. PEST analysis is applied to identify critical macro-environmental factors including political, economic, socio-cultural, and technological.

  • Finding Grace in the Concert Hall: Community and Meaning Among Springsteen Fans
    FINDING GRACE IN THE CONCERT HALL: COMMUNITY AND MEANING AMONG SPRINGSTEEN FANS By LINDA RANDALL A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of WAKE FOREST UNIVERSITY On Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS In the Department of Religion December 2008 Winston Salem, North Carolina Approved By: Lynn Neal, PhD. Advisor _____________________________ Examining Committee: Jeanne Simonelli, Ph.D. Chair _____________________________ LeRhonda S. Manigault, Ph.D _____________________________ ii Acknowledgements First and foremost, my thanks go out to Drs. Neal and Simonelli for encouraging me to follow my passion and my heart. Dr. Neal helped me realize a framework within which I could explore my interests, and Dr. Simonelli kept my spirits alive so I could nurse the project along. My concert-going partner in crime, cruisin’tobruce, also deserves my gratitude, sharing expenses and experiences with me all over the eastern seaboard as well as some mid-America excursions. She tolerated me well, right up until the last time I forgot the tickets. I also must recognize the persistent assistance I received from my pal and companion Zero, my Maine Coon cat, who spent hours hanging over my keyboard as I typed. I attribute all typos and errors to his help, and thank him for the opportunity to lay the blame at his paws. And lastly, my thanks and gratitude goes out to Mr. Bruce Frederick Springsteen, a man of heart and of conscience who constantly keeps me honest and aware that “it ain’t no sin to be glad you’re alive (Badlands).”

  • Good Things on the Rise: the One-Sided Worldview of Hans Rosling
    Good Things on the Rise: The One-Sided Worldview of Hans Rosling By Christian Berggren, Prof. emer. Industrial Management, Linköping University, Sweden, October 12, 2018 Charisma and positive messages about world development made Hans Rosling (1948– 2017), a former professor of international health at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, an international star. His posthumous gospel, Factfulness (1), which contains a collection of illustrative statistics and imaginative insights, has reached a global audience. In the United States, Bill Gates recently announced that he will hand out the book to all graduating university students, and 32 more translations are in the pipeline. An article in the science journal Nature praised the book in glowing terms: “This magnificent book ends with a plea for a factual world view. …Like his famous presentations, it throws down a gauntlet to doom-and-gloomers in global health by challenging preconceptions and misconceptions.” (2) However, Factfulness actually employs a biased selection of variables, avoids analysis of negative trends, and does not discuss any of the serious challenges related to continual population growth. A policy based on the simplistic worldview presented in Factfulness could have serious consequences. Who will dare stand up to media sensation Hans Rosling? This question asked by four writers in a leading Swedish daily in October 2015. Their criticism of his cavalier attitude toward the rapid rise in Africa’s population went unanswered. Perhaps the famous lecturer was leery of entering into a dialogue that might reveal the weaknesses of his analysis. Despite his position as a professor at the Karolinska Institute, Rosling’s research production was meager.

  • Global and Local Health – Legacy of Hans Rosling
    Seminar Global and Local Health – Legacy of Hans Rosling When: 26th October, 2017. 9.00 – 13.00. Where: Jacob Berzelius, Berzelius väg 3 Please register for the event here: https://sv.surveymonkey.com/r/PC3JR9Z In 2006, Hans Rosling presented his TED talk, which made him known internationally and changed the way we look at the world. However, long before that Hans Rosling had discovered a disease related to Cassava toxicity. It is an interesting story of a researcher who went to Mozambique to work as a health worker. Hans Rosling and his wife had traveled from Sweden to Mozambique. He had studied medicine and public health. In mid-1981, a disease appeared in the province of Nampula, north of Mozambique causing paralysis, with blurred vision and difficulty speaking. Soon over 1,000 cases were reported. The condition was called Konzo, which, in the Yaka language (spoken in a village of southeastern Democratic Republic of the Congo) means “tied legs.” Cassava is the third most important food crop in the tropics, after rice and maize. Esteemed by smallholder farmers for its tolerance to drought and infertile soils, the crop is inherently eco-efficient, offering a reliable source of food and income. Half a billion people in Africa eat cassava every day, and this high-starch root is also an important staple in Latin America and the Caribbean. The seminar “Global and Local Health – Legacy of Hans Rosling will discuss the disease Konzo in the context of research carried out by Hans Rosling. The seminar is a collaboration between Swedish Agriculture University, Uppsala (SLU – Global) and Centre for global health, Karolinska Institutet.

  • Responding to the Ebola Epidemic in West Africa: What Role Does Religion Play? Case Study
    WFDD CASE STUDY RESPONDING TO THE EBOLA EPIDEMIC IN WEST AFRICA: WHAT ROLE DOES RELIGION PLAY? By Katherine Marshall THE 2014 EBOLA EPIDEMIC was a human and a medical drama that killed more than 11,000 people and, still more, devastated the communities concerned and set back the development of health systems. Its impact was concentrated on three poor, fragile West African countries, Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone, but the tremors reverberated throughout the world, gen- erating reactions of compassion and fear, spurring mobilization of vast hu- man and financial resources, and inspiring many reflections on the lessons that should be learned by the many actors concerned. Among the actors were many with religious affiliations, who played distinctive roles at various points and across different sectors. This case study is one of a series produced by the Berkley Center for Religion, Peace, and World Affairs at Georgetown University and the World Faiths De- velopment Dialogue (WFDD), an NGO established in the World Bank and based today at Georgetown University. The goal is to generate relevant and demanding teaching materials that highlight ethical, cultural, and religious dimensions of contemporary international development topics. This case study highlights the complex institutional roles of religious actors and posi- tive and less positive aspects of their involvement, and, notably, how poorly prepared international organizations proved in engaging them in a systematic fashion. An earlier case study on Female Genital Cutting (FGC or FGM) focuses on the complex questions of how culture and religious beliefs influ- ence behaviors. This case was prepared under the leadership of Katherine Marshall and Crys- tal Corman.

The Award is presented annually to an individual or individuals, or to an institution or institutions, or to any combination thereof, for the most outstanding contribution to the awareness of population questions or to their solutions. The Committee for the United Nations Population Award selects the laureates of the Award. The Committee is composed of ten representatives of Members States of the United Nations (Antigua and Barbuda, Bangladesh, Benin, Islamic Republic of the Gambia, Ghana, Haiti, Islamic Republic of Iran, Israel, Poland and Paraguay) elected by the Economic and Social Council for a term of three years (2016-2018). Laureates of the 2017 Award 1. Individual (posthumous) Professor Hans Rosling was selected in recognition of his dedication and unwavering commitment to public health, population dynamics and the eradication of poverty in his multiple capacities as a physician, a researcher and a teacher, and for his remarkable contribution to a better understanding of international and global health through his numerous publications and initiatives. While serving as a Medical Officer in Northern Mozambique in the 1980s, Dr. Rosling’s investigations led to the discovery of an epidemic paralytic disease now known as Konzo, and spent two decades studying outbreaks of this disease in remote rural areas across Africa. As a champion of international cooperation, Dr. Rosling led health research collaborations with universities in Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Latin America.

    Talk Innovation Nepal NCO May 2015 Social Policy and Economic Analysis Section UNICEF Nepal Preface 'Talk Innovation' is a series of inspirational talk events by distinguished influencers in their respective fields, to share knowledge on innovation and its significant role in development. The heart behind this initiative was found on the goal to inspire and motivate the country and its youths that solutions to their community's problems are found within themselves and not from the outside.

The power of innovation has vast potentials to unlock new social and economic opportunities and lead to sustainable development. UNICEF Nepal is committed to supporting and working towards meeting the challenges of today and shaping a better future for Nepal. We hope the individual talks on innovation left positive impacts and brought new wave of ideas on the minds of the thinkers, planners, and doers of Nepal.
