Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Texas at Austin May 2005 To Harold Ashenfelter and Amul Desai Preface A crowded, red double-decker bus pulls into the depot and comes to a rest amidst swirling dust and smoke. Its passengers slowly alight and begin to disperse into the muggy evening air. I step down from the bus and look left and right, trying to get my bearings. This is only my second day in Bombay and my first to venture out of the old city center and into the Northern suburbs. I approach a small circle of bus drivers and ticket takers, all clad in loose-fitting brown shirts and pants. They point me in the direction of my destination, the JVPD grounds, and I join the ranks of people marching west along a dusty, narrowing road. Before long, we are met by a colorful procession of drummers and dancers honoring the goddess Durga through thundering music and vigorous dance. The procession is met with little more than a few indifferent glances by tired workers walking home after a long day and grueling commute.

  • Punk Islam and Selected Works of Michael Muhammad Knight
    Arabian Knights: Punk Islam and Selected Works of Michael Muhammad Knight by Kurosh Amoui Kalareh M.A., The University of British Columbia, 2013 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIRMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE COLLEGE OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Critical Studies) (Interdisciplinary Graduate Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Okanagan) August 2013 © Kurosh Amoui Kalareh, 2013 Abstract This thesis is an analysis of Michael Muhammad Knight’s works with a particular focus on The Taqwacores, Blue-Eyed Devil, Osama Van Halen, Impossible Man, William S. Burroughs vs. the Quran, and Tripping with Allah. It differs from earlier critical writing on Knight by taking a Bakhtinian approach to his ground-breaking first novel The Taqwacores and its attempt to open a dialogue on reforming American Islam, focusing on Knight’s relationship to the Beats and their often overlooked Islamic discourses as his ideal model for this artistic/social reform, and tracing a shift in his work from reformist, documentary fiction to self-focused, “cool” autobiography. It argues that what enables Knight to initiate a punk reading of Islam, to cut-up the Quran, and to prescribe ayahuasca (a psychoactive vine native to Amazonian Peru) to pilgrims going to Mecca is his interpretation of the famous statement attributed to Hassan Sabbah: “Nothing is true; everything is permitted.” Meanwhile, Knight’s approach differs from that of many writers from Rabelais and Dostoyevsky to Nietzsche and Burroughs who have cited or paraphrased this statement. While these writers describe how devastating it would be to live in a godless world where everything is permitted with no hereafter, Knight stresses a vague “coolness” in Sabbah’s statement which he uses to guide his own style of living.

  • How Twin Peaks Changed the Face of Contemporary Television
    “That Show You Like Might Be Coming Back in Style” 44 DOI: 10.1515/abcsj-2015-0003 “That Show You Like Might Be Coming Back in Style”: How Twin Peaks Changed the Face of Contemporary Television RALUCA MOLDOVAN Babeş-Bolyai University, Cluj-Napoca Abstract The present study revisits one of American television’s most famous and influential shows, Twin Peaks, which ran on ABC between 1990 and 1991. Its unique visual style, its haunting music, the idiosyncratic characters and the mix of mythical and supernatural elements made it the most talked-about TV series of the 1990s and generated numerous parodies and imitations. Twin Peaks was the brainchild of America’s probably least mainstream director, David Lynch, and Mark Frost, who was known to television audiences as one of the scriptwriters of the highly popular detective series Hill Street Blues. When Twin Peaks ended in 1991, the show’s severely diminished audience were left with one of most puzzling cliffhangers ever seen on television, but the announcement made by Lynch and Frost in October 2014, that the show would return with nine fresh episodes premiering on Showtime in 2016, quickly went viral and revived interest in Twin Peaks’ distinctive world. In what follows, I intend to discuss the reasons why Twin Peaks was considered a highly original work, well ahead of its time, and how much the show was indebted to the legacy of classic American film noir; finally, I advance a few speculations about the possible plotlines the series might explore upon its return to the small screen. Keywords: Twin Peaks, television series, film noir, David Lynch Introduction: the Lynchian universe In October 2014, director David Lynch and scriptwriter Mark Frost announced that Twin Peaks, the cult TV series they had created in 1990, would be returning to primetime television for a limited nine episode run 45 “That Show You Like Might Be Coming Back in Style” broadcast by the cable channel Showtime in 2016.

  • Amanda Palmer and the #LOFNOTC: How Online Fan Participation Is Rewriting Music Labels
    . Volume 9, Issue 2 November 2012 Amanda Palmer and the #LOFNOTC: How online fan participation is rewriting music labels Liza Potts, Michigan State University, USA Summary Recent events in digital culture are changing the ways in which artists and fans are able to interact. By resisting traditional labels as a musician and performer, Amanda Palmer has set out to redefine the ways in which artists and their audiences connect. Through her early work as a street performer, Palmer understood the need for a bond between artist and audience. With an ability to embrace participatory culture, in her live performances, blog, and Twitter stream, Palmer’s actions are unconventional and often provocative. In this article, I trace these interactions, arguing that Palmer and her participatory fans are rewriting traditional norms about recording artists and their audiences. Keywords: Participation, fans, music, recording industry, social media, Amanda Palmer, Neil Gaiman. Introduction In her 2010 blog post entitled ‘Why I am Not Afraid to Take Your Money,’ musician Amanda Palmer called for a radical move away from traditional recording industry strategies for production and distribution. In Palmer’s manifesto, she describes how artists will be bypassing their labels and going to their audience: ‘coming straight to you (yes, YOU, you who want their music, their films, their books) for their paychecks’ (2010). Rather than keeping them at arm’s length, Palmer works to include her fans in her work. Her fans have embraced this role, communicating with her through various online channels and participating in her work. Palmer’s recent success in raising over $1M on Kickstarter (Palmer, 2012a) is just one indication of how her fans are helping her reinvent funding models for artists.

  • Twin Peaks at Twenty-Five
    IN FOCUS: Returning to the Red Room—Twin Peaks at Twenty-Five Foreword by DAVID LAVERY or Twin Peaks (ABC, 1990–1991), 2015 was a damn fine year. The last annum has seen the completion of a new collection of critical essays ( Jeffrey Weinstock and Catherine Spooner’s Return to “Twin Peaks”: New Approaches to Theory & Genre in Television), an international conference in the United Kingdom (“ ‛I’ll See You Again Fin 25 Years’: The Return of Twin Peaks and Generations of Cult TV” at the University of Salford), and the current In Focus.1 Not coincidently, this has transpired alongside the commissioning of the return of the series on the American premium cable channel Showtime for a 2017 debut. Long before this Twin Peaks renaissance, the place of David Lynch and Mark Frost’s “quirky quality” series in TV history was, however, already secure.2 As the creator of the iconic series Mad Men, Matthew Weiner, now fifty years old, put it definitively: “I was already out of college when Twin Peaks came on, and that was where I became aware of what was possible on television.”3 Twin Peaks has played a central role as well in our understanding of what is possible in television studies. As I have written and spoken about elsewhere, the collection Full of Secrets: Critical Approaches to “Twin 1 See Jeffrey Weinstock and Catherine Spooner, eds., Return to “Twin Peaks”: New Approaches to Materiality, Theory, and Genre on Television (Basingstoke, UK: Palgrave Macmillan, 2015).

A relatively small, out-of-the-way city, it managed to provide some of the most powerful cultural images of the decade: the Starbucks sophistication of Frasier Crane, the heartbreak houseboat of Sleepless in Seattle and – most unforgettable for people my age – the dirty, long hair, flannel and thrift-store sweaters of grunge. Today, as the children of the 1990s grow into the yuppies of the 2010s, Seattle is fast becoming the first city of nineties nostalgia. With some travel cash and vacation days to spare, thirtysomethings such as myself can’t resist the Pacific http://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/travel/destinations/the-majestically-creepy-towns-at-the-heart-of-twinpeaks/article29660457/ Page 1 of 9 A visit to the world of Twin Peaks is still majestically creepy - The Globe and Mail 2016-12-10, 1115 AM Northwest’s promise of recapturing a slice of our youth. The era of Kurt Cobain cruises and Pearl Jam pilgrimages is upon us. Most such trips, alas, are doomed to end in disappointment. The combined force of the twin tech booms of Microsoft and Amazon have turned greater Seattle into one of the fastest-growing regions in the United States. Rapid sprawl and lightning-fast gentrification have mostly wiped 1990s Seattle off the map. Yesterday’s ragged rock club has become today’s Whole Foods.

Introduction Electric Junk: Krautrock’s Identity Crisis If there is any musical subculture to which this modern age of online music consumption has been particularly kind, it is certainly the obscure, groundbreaking, and oft misunderstood German pop music phenomenon known as “krautrock”. That krautrock’s appeal to new generations of musicians and fans both in Germany and abroad continues to grow with each passing year is a testament to the implicitly iconoclastic nature of the style; krautrock still sounds odd, eccentric, and even confrontational approximately twenty-five years after the movement is generally considered to have ended.1 In fact, it is difficult nowadays to even page through a recent issue of major periodicals like Rolling Stone or Spin without chancing upon some kind of passing reference to the genre.
