SIXTY-FIRST COMMENCEMENT STONY BROOK UNIVERSITY MAY 19 • MAY 20 • MAY 21 2021 PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Dear Graduates, I want to extend my profound congratulations to the Class of 2021. In a year like no other — one that will go down in history for its unparalleled challenges — you have persevered, adapted, grown and succeeded. The sense of renewal and hope that accompanies your graduating class is felt all around the world, and I am honored to be able to celebrate your commencement in person. Undoubtedly, the Class of 2021 will be remembered for its demonstration of resilience, integrity and innovation. Certainly I will always remember this spring’s unique ceremony — our first major in-person event in more than a year, held through 10 individual ceremonies, each as historic as the next. Although you will be graduating into especially exceptional times, the depth of your accomplishment is evergreen: You have earned a degree from one of the finest universities in the world — an institution renowned for its significant contributions to the advancement of science; ingenuity in the arts, humanities and critical thought; steadfast commitment to local communities; and unwavering dedication to diversity, equity and inclusion. Our country and our world are at a critical moment, standing on the precipice of our collective future, and you are a part of the next generation of leaders who will determine where we go from here. I know that you will be equal to this task, and look forward to watching all of you move forward in your chosen fields and studies with the same grace, grit and determination you have shown during your time at Stony Brook. I hope you continue to be proud of what you have achieved in earning this degree and the way you worked to foster an environment of care, respect and civility even in the most difficult times. As you join our more than 200,000 alumni from around the globe, we hope you, like them, will consider Stony Brook University a continuing resource and second home. According to myth, the Seawolf brings good luck to anyone who has the chance to spot it. And I can feel the luck with us today, ushering you into this exciting next chapter of your lives. Congratulations! Maurie McInnis President H1 SUNY CHANCELLOR’S MESSAGE To the Stony Brook University Graduating Class of 2021: Living through a pandemic is likely not how you expected to finish your last semesters at Stony Brook, nor how you expected to start your life after college. Major milestone celebrations over the past 13 months have been postponed, cancelled or modified, including commencements. I know this is not the ideal outcome after years of hard work and studying, but this does not diminish your tremendous accomplishment. Despite all the challenges thrown at you and having your senior year of college unceremoniously turned upside down, you persevered to earn your degree. We are all so proud of the Class of 2021 — the persistence, determination and grit you have shown to complete your studies amidst a number of obstacles is exemplary. We are thrilled that you are now able to celebrate your graduation with the traditional, in-person pomp and circumstance it so rightfully deserves. As you look toward the future, know your SUNY education has prepared you to succeed in whatever you put your mind to — whether it be furthering your education or joining the workforce. The 2021 Seawolves will continue the SUNY legacy of changing the world no matter where you go, and I look forward to seeing all that you accomplish. On behalf of everyone at SUNY, I extend my heartfelt congratulations to you and your fellow 2021 graduates. You make us proud.

  • CHAPTER 3 Hong Kong Music Ecosphere

    CHAPTER 3 Hong Kong Music Ecosphere

    Abstract The people of Hong Kong experienced their deepest sense of insecurity and anxiety after the handover of sovereignty to Beijing. Time and again, the incapacity and lack of credibility of the SAR government has been manifested in various new policies or incidents. Hong Kong people’s anger and discontent with the government have reached to the peak. On July 1, 2003, the sixth anniversary of the hand-over of Hong Kong to China, 500,000 demonstrators poured through the streets of Hong Kong to voice their concerns over the proposed legislation of Article 23 and their dissatisfaction to the SAR government. And the studies of politics and social movement are still dominated by accounts of open confrontations in the form of large scale and organized rebellions and protests. If we shift our focus on the terrain of everyday life, we can find that the youth voice out their discontents by different ways, such as various kinds of media. This research aims to fill the gap and explore the relationship between popular culture and politics of the youth in Hong Kong after 1997 by using one of the local bands KingLyChee as a case study. Politically, it aims at discovering the hidden voices of the youth and argues that the youth are not seen as passive victims of structural factors such as education system, market and family. Rather they are active and strategic actors who are capable of negotiating with and responding to the social change of Hong Kong society via employing popular culture like music by which the youth obtain their pleasure of producing their own meanings of social experience and the pleasure of avoiding the social discipline of the power-bloc.

  • Tragic Downfall of Antony in Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra

    Tragic Downfall of Antony in Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra

    Bilecik Şeyh Edebali Üniversitesi Sosyal Bilimler Enstitüsü Dergisi Makale Geliş (Submitted) Bilecik Şeyh Edebali University Journal of Social Sciences Institute Makale Kabul (Accepted) 24.08.2019 DOİ: 10.33905/bseusbed.610180 05.12.2019 Tragic Downfall of Antony in Shakespeare’s Antony and Cleopatra Abdullah KODAL1 Abstract Although there have been lots of debates about the reason of downfall of the great Roman general Antony, there is exactly one forefront reason in his destruction, it is Cleopatra herself. Her subversive power over Antony together with her manipulative and seductive power leads to the gradual breakdown of the male protagonist Antony and his destruction at the end. Thus, to understand all aspects of his downfall as one of the triumvirs of the great Roman Empire, we have to know exactly, who Cleopatra is and the role she played in Antony’s downfall as a woman. Shakespeare’s Cleopatra even today regarded by some as the source of beauty and by some as the source of manipulation but the common point for most people; it would not be possible to describe her within the limited definitions of woman in patriarchal society and one would need more than these, at least, for Cleopatra. Regarding the different approaches and criticisms about the downfall of the protagonist Antony, my aim in this article is to show how Cleopatra as an outstanding female model in ancient ages led to the downfall of the male protagonist of Shakespeare’s play the great Roman general Antony by using her special feminine characteristic features such as her beauty, her tempting words and speeches and also her seductive wiles against patriarchal assumptions that leads her to being condemned as a femme fatale.
