  • Crelling the Confederate Battle Flag
    Crelling The Confederate Battle Flag: Why is it perceived so differently in the US and Europe/Germany? Karin Crelling A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies University of Washington 2019 Committee: Michael Allen Libi Sundermann Program Authorized to Offer Degree: School of Interdisciplinary Arts & Sciences Crelling ©2018 Karin Crelling Crelling University of Washington Abstract The Confederate Battle Flag: Why is it perceived so differently in the US and Europe/Germany? Karin Crelling Chair of the Supervisory Committee Michael Allen School of Interdisciplinary Arts & Sciences I was born and raised in Germany and came to the United States in 1996. In 2010 I became an American citizen, via the “Naturalization” process. I went back to school in 2013 and, being always interested in history, took a liking to early US history. The Civil War fascinated me the most, and the ongoing debate over what the war was fought over created my desire to investigate why the Confederate Battle Flag is so differently perceived in my old and new home country. The Confederate Flag disrupts the public sphere in the US, but not as much in Europe. 3 Crelling Recent debates over the Confederate Battle Flag in the US sparked my interest in how its perception has changed over the decades since 1865. In Europe it is still mainly a symbol for rebellion, not a reminder of violation of human rights and slavery. Specifically, in Germany the flag was flown during the Velvet Revolutions in the late 1980s. These rebellions eventually led to political changes and the fall of the Berlin Wall.

  • ROCK in the EAST - Expectations Towards a Finnish Rock Festival in the Russian Context
    NORTH KARELIA UNIVERSITY OF APPLIED SCIENCES Degree Programme in International Business Tanja Heiskanen (0601022, [email protected]) Jonna Puhkala (0800761, [email protected]) ROCK IN THE EAST - Expectations Towards a Finnish Rock Festival in the Russian Context Thesis May, 2012 THESIS May 2012 Degree Programme in International Business Sirkkalantie 12 A FIN 80110 JOENSUU FINLAND Tel. 358-13-260 600 Authors Tanja Heiskanen, Jonna Puhkala Title Rock in the East – Expectations Towards a Finnish Rock Festival in the Russian Context Commissioned by Joensuu Pop Musicians’ Association Abstract Competition amongst rock festivals in Finland is a notable pushing factor towards seeking growth from international festival-goers. In a country the size of Finland, festival organizers are bound to compete for the same audience, and thus increasing the amount of international visitors may fill this gap. Currently, the share of festival-goers from abroad totals only 5%. Joensuu Pop Musicians’ Association, which organizes Ilosaarirock, are increasingly interested in the benefits that internationalizing the customer base generates. The close proximity of Russia and St. Petersburg create a potential market area for Ilosaarirock. This study explores the perceived expectations of potential festival-goers in the Russian context. The primary purpose of this study was to adduce the image Russians have concerning Finnish rock festivals and furthermore compare the differences in behavior between Finnish and Russian festival-goers. The secondary motive was to determine how the research results could be incorporated into the marketing activities of Ilosaarirock. The empirical part of this study was conducted by both qualitative and quantitative research methods.
