    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.

  • Shakespeare on Film, Video & Stage
    William Shakespeare on Film, Video and Stage Titles in bold red font with an asterisk (*) represent the crème de la crème – first choice titles in each category. These are the titles you’ll probably want to explore first. Titles in bold black font are the second- tier – outstanding films that are the next level of artistry and craftsmanship. Once you have experienced the top tier, these are where you should go next. They may not represent the highest achievement in each genre, but they are definitely a cut above the rest. Finally, the titles which are in a regular black font constitute the rest of the films within the genre. I would be the first to admit that some of these may actually be worthy of being “ranked” more highly, but it is a ridiculously subjective matter.

The event will feature leading literary biographer Hermione Lee joined in conversation with acclaimed Canadian actor Fiona Reid to discuss Lee’s newest book, Tom Stoppard: A Life (Knopf 2021). The pair will explore Lee’s biography of Stoppard, who has been hailed widely as the world’s greatest living playwright, and discuss Lee’s first experience documenting a living subject. Punctuating the conversation and representing Stoppard’s broad oeuvre, will be a selection of pre- recorded scene performances directed by David Storch, presented in partnership with Canadian Stage. Tom Stoppard’s career spans twentieth century theatre and cinema, from his first produced stage play, the iconic Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead in 1966, and the success of the film Shakespeare in Love in 1998 (co-written with Marc Norman), to his last and most autobiographical 235 Queens Quay West, Toronto ON M5J 2G8 Canada | Registered Charity #881940985RR000 Page 1/3 work Leopoldstadt, performed on stage in early 2020.
