    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.

  • Filming the Nova Series Musser: My Questions Fall Into a Few Categories
    Filming the Nova Series Musser: My questions fall into a few categories. There’s future-of-string- theory questions, there’s sociological questions about popularization of science, and then I have a few questions about string theory. One thing that I wanted to ask you about—this is the sociological side of things—is that whenever we do an article in physics generally, certainly fundamental physics or cosmology, we run into an intimidation that readers have when they hear the word “string theory” or the word “cosmology,” and they throw up their hands and say: “I’ll never understand it.” Have you dealt with that kind of roadblock that people have in their mind? Greene: Well, I’ve definitely encountered a certain amount of intimidation at the outset when it comes to ideas like string theory or with the features of cosmology. But what I have found is that the basic interest is so widespread, and so deep in most people that I’ve spoken with, that there is a willingness to go a little bit further than you might with other subjects that are more easily taken in. And that fed right into The Elegant Universe. A decision I had to make was, How close to the science am I going to be? There are two kinds of books out there; both serve a great purpose. One is just very general, but gives you a flavor of the subject. The other tries to take you into the subject, again leaving out the math but really tries to give a pretty accurate portrayal of what’s really going on, and I decided to take the latter route, and I found that many people, through the questions that they’ve asked, appreciated that.

    November 18, 2012—MoMA PS1, New York http://experimentallectures.org Comic Relief On Art, Film, and Television by Jamillah James Hi, can you guys hear me okay? Oh geez…it’s crowded… Stop laughing, okay so, I’m doing a presentation today called Comic Relief: On art, Film and Television, part autobiographical, part professional, and part, well you’ll see. Hi, I’m Jamillah James, age 32, and for all intents and purposes I’m a curator, this is typically how I look after 6 pm every day, except I’m usually wearing sweat pants. I can say with some confidence, seeing some familiar faces in the crowd, that barring going to some openings after work that this is what curators look like after six. CENTER for EXPERIMENTAL LECTURES http://experimentallectures.org 1 Alright, that’s me at age 23, and age 12, (don’t laugh) before I became a curator, I was a number of things, a musician, a concert organizer, a grocery store clerk, a wig tamer for drag queens, a lab rat for medical training, a seven year college student, the list goes on forever. Before all of these things I was a slightly overweight precocious only child growing up in New Jersey. This is me at 9 ½, and that’s my Mom. CENTER for EXPERIMENTAL LECTURES http://experimentallectures.org 2 Okay, as was the case for many children of the 80’s, especially for kids from working single households such as mine, I watched a lot of television. From ages 5 to 10, I would spend my afternoons at my babysitter’s house, an older woman that I lovingly called Grandma Anna who was a longtime neighbor of my actual grandmother, in the summer I was there all day, reading, eating, talking to myself, harassing my cousins and watching television.
