The main difference between the two is accountability. The elected VPs are account- able to the students as well as the SA president, where the hired people would be account- able mainly to the SA president.

    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA An Analysis of the Portrayal of Catholicism on Prime-Time Network Entertainment Television, 1950-1980 A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the Department of History School of Arts & Sciences Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy © Copyright All Rights Reserved By Christopher Gildemeister Washington, D.C. 2014 An Analysis of the Portrayal of Catholicism on Prime-Time Network Entertainment Television, 1950-1980 Christopher Gildemeister, Ph.D. Director: Leslie W. Tentler, Ph.D. Representations in popular culture entertainment both reflect popular thought about various subjects, and simultaneously influence perceptions of those same subjects. This dissertation proposes a twofold thesis: firstly, that the representation of the Catholic priest in American popular culture – particularly film and prime-time broadcast network entertainment television – was shaped by various real-life individual priests; and secondly, that such representations fell into a number of identifiable and frequently repeated tropes, which themselves served to influence later representations. With the rise of mass popular culture in the 1920s (largely originated by the increasing influence of film and the rapid and widespread adoption of radio broadcasting), the image of the Catholic priest in America shifted from that of the effeminate, licentious, and sexually depraved predator which was widespread during the nation’s era of domination by traditionally anti- Catholic Protestants to that of the “heroic priest”: a tough, dynamic, manly individual dedicated to social reform, particularly involving battles against entrenched civic corruption and crime. The major model for the “heroic priest” was the famed “radio priest,” Father Charles Coughlin, who in the early years of his fame was a far more populist and reform-minded individual than he was to become subsequently.

  • BETWEEN the BURIED and ME 29. Oktober 2012 Stuttgart Universum
    BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME 29. Oktober 2012 Stuttgart Universum Gäste: Periphery, The Safety Fire Seit gut einem Jahrzehnt feilt das US-amerikanische Quintett BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME an seinem ureigenen Metal-Sound. Trotz ihrer radikalen Musik, die sich aus der natürlichen Symbiose unterschiedlichster Spielarten des Metal zusammensetzt, blickt die Band aus Charlotte auf stetig wachsenden internationalen Erfolg. Nachdem BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME zuletzt mit der höchst konzeptionellen EP „The Parallax: Hypersleep Dialogues“ überzeugten, arbeiten sie aktuell an ihrem neuen Album, das zum Zeitpunkt ihrer Deutschland-Tournee erschienen sein dürfte. Begleitet werden sie von den Progressive Metal-Virtuosen Periphery, die sich derzeit ebenfalls im Studio befinden. Die im Jahr 2000 aus der aufgelösten Band Prayer For Cleansing hervorgegangene Formation BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME setzte von Anfang an auf größtmögliche Stilbreite und Unverwechselbarkeit. Harte Musik zu komponieren und zu performen, die sich bekannter Elemente bedient, diese jedoch in neue stilistische Kontexte stellt, war und ist erklärtes Ziel. Weder Hitsingles noch internationaler Ruhm waren die Triebfeder. Stattdessen loten BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME seit ihrer Gründung die Schnittmengen aus Progressive Metal, Mathcore und Metalcore immer weiter aus und entwickelten auf diese Weise einen absolut originären Sound. Dass diesen herausfordernden, begnadeten Musikern dennoch kontinuierlicher Auftrieb beschieden ist, liegt gerade an ihrer Einzigartigkeit. Sie sprechen mit ihrem furiosen Stilmix nahezu jeden Metal-Fan an. Ergänzt durch ihre energetischen Live-Shows, konnten sich BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME weltweit als aufregende Vertreter des Genres etablieren. Richtig in Schwung kam ihre Karriere, nachdem die beiden Gründungsmitglieder Tommy Rogers (Vocals, Keyboards) und Paul Waggoner (Gitarre) vor der Produktion des dritten Albums die gesamte restliche Besetzung austauschten.
