  • Early STRATEGY of the MONTH EXTENDING
    CORE WORD: Early For Educators, Related Service Providers and Parents STRATEGY OF THE MONTH EXTENDING, EXPANDING AND ELABORATING The AAC strategy of Extending, Expanding and Elaborating focuses on communication partners responding to what students express by providing immediate, (simultaneous) verbal and AAC system modeling based on the student's unique language goals. As an example, students at the single-word level may have a goal to produce two-word utterances and therefore the ‘add a word’ approach could be utilized, (providing modeling by adding a word to the utterance/word produced). Such added words could be targeted as: pronouns, verbs, or descriptors, (for added specificity). Intermediate to advanced communicators would have different, higher-level language goals and targets that are individualized. When using the Extending, Expanding and Elaborating approach, it is suggested that such modeling is carried out in a positive, upbeat tone and with correct grammar and syntax. WAYS WE CAN USE THE WORD SHARE INFORMATION: (e.g., I am early) ASK A QUESTION: (e.g., am I early?) DESCRIBE: (e.g., too early) NEGATE: (e.g., you are not early) ROUTINES AND SCHEDULES Circle: Adults and students can use early to indicate who was early to school during the morning circle time routine. 1 Snack time: Adults can lead students in a discussion about foods and the difference between what type of foods you eat early in the day such as breakfast food (e.g., eggs, toast, yogurt, etc.). PLAY Freeze Dance: Students can play freeze dance and when an adult or student pauses the music, students can point out if anyone stopped dancing too early.

    Oregon Undergraduate Research Journal 13.1 (2018) ISSN: 2160-617X (online) blogs.uoregon.edu/ourj Spitting Bars and Subverting Heteronormativity: An Analysis of Frank Ocean and Tyler, the Creator’s Departures from Heteronormativity, Traditional Concepts of Masculinity, and the Gender Binary Lizzy Elkins*, International Studies and Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies ABSTRACT This paper seeks to investigate an emerging movement of rap and pop artists who actively subvert structures of the gender binary and heteronormativity through their music. The main artists considered in this research are pop/rap/R&B artist Frank Ocean and rap artist Tyler, the Creator, both of whom have claimed fame relatively recently. Artists like Ocean and Tyler make intentional departures from heteronormativity and the gender binary, combat concepts such as ‘toxic masculinity’, and hint at the possibilities for normalization and destigmatization of straying from the gender binary through lyrics, metaphysical expressions, physical embodiments of gender, expression of fluid/non-heteronormative sexualities, and disregard for labels in their sexual and gendered identities. I will discuss the history and context around music as an agent for social change and address privileging of the black heterosexual cisgender man as the central voice to pop/rap/R&B in the following research. This project will draw on Beauvoirian philosophy regarding gender as well as contemporary sources of media like Genius, record sale statistics, and album lyrics. By illustrating and evaluating how these artists subvert traditional concepts of gender and sexuality, I hope to also shine a light on how their music, which reaches millions of people who are less aware of or accepting of gayness, catalyzes social change and is significant in this current political moment, which is an era of increasing public tolerance of queer ideas and less binary gender expression.

    1 C L I N T E T T I N G E R AN ALPHABET OF REINVENTION by Clint Ettinger 1. A - E is for Exchange 2. F - K is for Kimmy 3. L - T is for Trio 4. U - Z is for Zap ONE A) The Oxford American Dictionary defines ‘reinventing oneself’ as taking up a radically new job or way of life. The Macmillan Dictionary defines it as changing the way you behave or the things you do so that people think of you as a different kind of person. Quite a difference. B) So, must we really change? Or should we just wear a veneer of change so that others perceive us as having changed? C) is for Change or Die Writer and entrepreneur John Mashni firmly believes there are only three types of reinvention 1. Reactive Reinvention - when an external event occurs and forces you to change. 2. Proactive Reinvention - when you intentionally change to capitalize on an opportunity. 3. Reflective Reinvention - when you fail at something but still have a strong desire to continue in that particular endeavor. D) “Make reinvention your lifestyle, and you’ll stay young at heart no matter your chronological age. Keep on reinventing yourself, and death becomes nothing more significant than the period at the end of this sentence.”1 E) is for Exchange Last week during my second-year writing class, I asked everyone what they thought about the topic ‘reinventing oneself.’ “These two words bring both happiness and fear,” Apple said. “It’s more complex than that.

  • Antimodernism and Genre from Country-Rock to Alt.Country, 1968-98
    Antimodernism and Genre from Country-Rock to Alt.Country, 1968-98 Jason Bianchi Kirby San Jose, California B.A. Sociology and Literature, University of California—Santa Cruz, 2002 M.A. American Culture Studies, Bowling Green State University, 2006 A dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Music University of Virginia August 2016 Abstract This dissertation is a cultural history exploring expressions of and responses to antimodernism within country-rock and “alternative country” music, drawing on reception history, intellectual history of underground and mainstream left-wing American political movements, interview discourse with artists, and close readings of songs. In this dissertation I argue that despite styling itself as a type of purer root or “folk” form of contemporary country music, in terms of its ideologies, studio production techniques, fan and critical discourse, and business practices, alt.country is a type of rock music. It embodies some of rock’s core beliefs, particularly rock’s critique of the more bureaucratic and “rationalized” dimensions of postindustrial capitalism, particularly as this relates to the everyday impact of new technologies. I argue that this anti-modernism, emerging here from the American political left, has been different in different eras, from the back-to-the-land movement of the late 1960s, to late- ‘80s/early-‘90s expressions of left populist punk’s longing for “folk” community. In this project I look beyond contemporary scholarly understandings of alt.country as mostly ironic, as ultimately I suggest that this music illustrates what Keir Keightley calls rock’s aesthetic of “seriousness,” more precisely than it does an understanding of country music ideology.

White Studies of punk subculture have heretofore focused almost solely on the communicative properties of cultural artifacts, neglecting the role practices play in creating and affirming subcultural identities and at the same time tacitly putting forward a conception of the political subject that is detached from day to day experience. In this paper, I attempt to reassert the importance of subcultural practices, especially those of cultural production and political contestation. Utilizing Foucaultian ethics, theories of the role and importance of spaces of resistance, and agonistic democratic theory, I locate the political content of Do-It-Yourself punk in the day-to-day practices that facilitate the punk scene in an attempt to construct a materialist cultural studies.

This model was expanded upon by musicians in England and Germany during the late-1970s who developed the popular music style called Industrial as a fusion of experimental popular music sounds, performance art theatricality, and avant-garde composition.
