This nostalgic idealization is embedded in longstanding notions of gender binaries that presupposed particular vocations as being too rigorous for women. These perceptions were often fraught with and bolstered by traditions, superstitions, and socially substantiated barriers that reiterated unspoken rules regarding women’s place in the constellation of the industry. As patriarchal ideals of previous eras have shifted and relaxed, increasing numbers of women have found their way into the business of commercially harvesting fish and shellfish from Alaska’s abundant waters. Reliance on the bounty of the sea has been a way of life for Alaskans since time immemorial. Prior to Western contact, the Indigenous peoples of the region had established complex cultures that revolved around hunting and gathering resources from marine and terrestrial environments.1 Led by Danish explorer, Vitus Bering, on behalf of the Russian tsar, Europeans began foraying to Alaska in the year 1741. Soon after, Russians systematically subjugated the Unangan and Aleut people by force to hunt for the Russian fur trade. Target species primarily comprised sea otters as well as other maritime animals. Beginning in 1848, large-scale commercial whaling by outside interests commenced in the Arctic and Pacific Northwest and expanded to include walrus and seal hunting in subsequent years. The baleen market fell in 1871 and the whaling industry all but evaporated with the growth of the petroleum industry. Russia notoriously sold Alaska to the United States in 1867, and during the first thirty years of American ownership until the gold rush of 1897, Alaska’s non-Native population was primarily composed of soldiers, missionaries, prospectors, and explorers. During this time, the commercial fishing and canning industries began to flourish with more demand for cod and salmon in particular, 1 attracting not only fishermen, but also shore-side cannery workers. According to a recent Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development Report tracking the history of Alaska population settlement, “fishing became the primary source of population change between wars ... Southeast Alaska — with its ice free waters, fishing heritage, and proximity to Seattle fish markets — was the major beneficiary of this change.”2 Alaska achieved statehood in 1959, and for the first time, the State was in charge of managing the fisheries. During the early years, the burgeoning commercial fishing fleets continued to exploit the abundant finfish and shellfish resources found in the ice-free Gulf of Alaska (GOA), and it wasn’t long before target species were suffering great depletions. Increased competition, globalization of business, and rapidly advancing technologies were also probable factors. The State responded by enforcing fishing limits, gear restrictions, and limited entry permits. Thus, from 1972 until the introduction of the Individual Fishing Quota (IFQ) program in 1994, the halibut and black cod (sablefish) longline seasons were conducted in aggressive, derby-style “cowboy” fisheries. While other species such as salmon, crab, shrimp and herring continue to be managed by state and federal agencies, the “wild west” motif of combat/cowboy fishing endures and reflects the rugged, individualistic, frontier American ideal that many folks associate with Alaska. It is noteworthy to consider how this legacy of nationalistic idealization of the frontiersman has continued to flourish over time, despite the fact that America and Alaska both have become more “civilized” and less “frontier.” While the defining feature of Americans may be their tendency to exemplify rugged individualism, why are the associated characteristics deemed explicitly as positive, masculine traits? Maritime scholar Jennifer Schell attributes some of this to the historical literature of post-colonial/pre-antebellum America, whereby certain authors “sought to transform trappers into national heroes” and did so by analogizing them with the highly regarded New England whalemen of the era.3 That American whalemen were seen as highly masculine heroes who 2 conquered nature is not the point of contention, but rather that the Western masculine ideal is so deeply tied to conquest and exploitation should be disturbing - and yet it is quite the opposite. While the early frontiersmen were widely perceived as a mixed bag of racial, ethnic, and culturally diverse men from the lower ranks of American society, Schell contends that the accepted literary narrative on national masculinity was actually a “work-centered vision of American-ness that avoided regional specificity.”4 In choosing this construction, the early writers of western narratives laid the foundation for “others to expand the cultural conversation ever further and immortalize the heroic capacity of cowboys ... and various other manly American physical laborers.”5 Her point is significant; the continuing storyline of our nation and our people is tightly hinged to a concept of hard work exemplifying masculinity, and by extension, patriotism. To illustrate this distinctive facet of Americanism, Frederick Jackson Turner’s biographer, Ray Allen Billington, published a deep analysis in 1958 of how the “American” character was defined and understood by Turner and others of his era. Billington contends that Turner’s “frontier hypothesis” is that the American character is a “unique social organism” which can be directly traced to the experiences of settling the continent from east to west over three centuries.6 He further asserts that characteristics such as mobility, optimism, inventiveness, openness to innovation, materialism, and exploitative wastefulness, were all what Turner considered to be “frontier traits.”7 Based on my experiences in the final years of “gold rush” derby-style commercial fishing, I would concur with Turner’s assertions that the above-described traits are typical of people in frontier contexts, despite the fact that some contemporary scholars might disagree. Are these qualities uniquely American? It would seem likely that they are, based on the premise that the context of any frontier will always be distinctive in its location in time and space. When the American western frontier expands to the sea, the above-mentioned qualities are extended with it. While these traits are evidenced in Alaskan fishing communities, there is also an 3 entire body of literature that explores similar precedent in earlier American seaboard communities. Themes such as heroism, nationalism, and masculinity prevail as linchpins of maritime writing during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Schell reiterates that these literatures bolstered romantic archetypes

  • The Semiotics of Internet Celebrity: Gangnam Style Case
    Paper The Semiotics of Internet Celebrity: Gangnam Style Case by © Mingyi Hou (Tilburg University) [email protected] © November 2013 The Semiotics of Internet Celebrity: Gangnam Style Case Mingyi Hou Abstract: In academia, celebrity study remains an ever growing interest, especially in media and culture studies. However, few researchers have expanded their scope of exploration to the celebrities who gain stardom across national and cultural borders. The current study considers Psy and his music video Gangnam Style as a site for examining globalized language and cultural contacts. Its primary concern is to investigate Internet celebrity in the context of multimodal media representation and superdiverse semiotic repertoires. The study identified lyrics, beats, dance gestures, characters, objects and places as the major semiotic modes of expression in the video. More meanings are added while they are produced into the materialized forms. Guided by the audiences’ replies to the journalistic commentaries on Gangnam Style, the study found that the music video is a heterogeneous construct, whose semiotic resources are ordered polycentricically to resonate with different audiences. Key words: Gangnam Style, Internet celebrity, semiotic resources, multimodal discourse analysis, online ethnography 1. Introduction The current research considers “Internet celebrity” as a site for studying globalized language and culture contact. Its primary concern is to investigate Internet celebrity from the perspective of superdiverse semiotic repertoire (Blommaert and Rampton, 2011). The first purpose of the research is to identify the various modes such as lyrics and place references employed in the music video. The second purpose is to discern the audiences’ interpretations of the contents of the video ethnographically.

  • Time to Carve up the Worst Fashion Fads
    FASHION TURKEY AWARDS By DeBra D. Bass • [email protected] > 314-340-8236 Time to carve up the worst fashion fads efore the serious season of Black Friday power shopping, holiday decorating, gift-picking overload and end-of-the-year time crunches takes its toll, let’s sit back and reflect on something that’s not so serious. We give you the Fifth Annual Fashion Turkey Awards. These are items that inspire our mirth. BThese are items we consider fads in the worst sense of the word — popular for being popular, worn without consideration and therefore uninspired. In short, these are trends we wish would go away. First on our list is HairUWear or any other variety of the oddly hued clip-on wiglets. The last straw for us in ushering this product onto our list of 2011 Fashion Turkeys was the introduction of the animal print extension. The 1-inch clip-in exten- sions ($10) are in shades of neon pink, ginger (pictured) and electric blue tiger stripes. We didn’t actually mind the Native American vibe of the clip-in feathers (until there were reports of feather shortages and people raiding fishing shops to strip lures), but this is the usual modus operandi of a fashion turkey. People don’t know when to say when. If a slim feather is nice, a neon purple tiger stripe must be better, right? Wrong. This must stop now, or we’ll have people with faux dinosaur bones hanging from their hair next. The feathers had a moment. That moment has officially expired.

Along with the musical orientation towards medleys of house music with various hit song elements rather than African American groove aesthetics in minimal techno, for instance, the industry developed the visual design of festival worlds and their digital mediation in the form of promotional videos.
