  • Sounding Sentimental: American Popular Song from Nineteenth-Century Ballads to 1970S Soft Rock Emily Margot Gale Vancouver, BC B
    Sounding Sentimental: American Popular Song From Nineteenth-Century Ballads to 1970s Soft Rock Emily Margot Gale Vancouver, BC Bachelor of Music, University of Ottawa, 2005 Master of Arts, Music Theory, University of Western Ontario, 2007 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 May, 2014 © Copyright by Emily Margot Gale All Rights Reserved May 2014 For Ma with love iv ABSTRACT My dissertation examines the relationship between American popular song and “sentimentality.” While eighteenth-century discussions of sentimentality took it as a positive attribute in which feelings, “refined or elevated,” motivated the actions or dispositions of people, later texts often describe it pejoratively, as an “indulgence in superficial emotion.” This has led an entire corpus of nineteenth- and twentieth-century cultural production to be bracketed as “schmaltz” and derided as irrelevant by the academy. Their critics notwithstanding, sentimental songs have remained at the forefront of popular music production in the United States, where, as my project demonstrates, they have provided some of the country’s most visible and challenging constructions of race, class, gender, sexuality, nationality, and morality. My project recovers the centrality of sentimentalism to American popular music and culture and rethinks our understandings of the relationships between music and the public sphere. In doing so, I add the dimension of sound to the extant discourse of sentimentalism, explore a longer history of popular music in the United States than is typical of most narratives within popular music studies, and offer a critical examination of music that—though wildly successful in its own day—has been all but ignored by scholars.

  • Book of Ceremonies
    Book of Ceremonies Girl Scouts – Diamonds of Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas 11311 Arcade Dr., Little Rock, AR 72212 800-632-6894 www.girlscoutsdiamonds.org Ceremonies A Girl Scout Tradition From the earliest times, women, men and children have held ceremonies to celebrate numerous events such as changes of seasons, births, victories, or deaths. In modern times, it is often our ceremonies and traditions that bind us together as a family or group. Ceremonies can bring meaning to life experiences and offer a means of self- expression. Girl Scouts also have ceremonies to mark special events throughout the year. Like other ceremonies, Girl Scout ceremonies can be planned on a grand scale to celebrate major transitions (such as awards, bridging, investitures, and end-of-year activities). Or they can be planned on a smaller scale to celebrate more frequent occurrences (such as the beginning or ending of a meeting, a campout, friendship, etc.). From the very beginning, Girl Scout ceremonies have been observed to reinforce values, pass on traditions and give life to the beliefs set down in the Promise and Law by highlighting accomplishments that illustrate a Girl Scout belief. Ceremonies also reinforce the Girl Scout heritage by reminding us of the contributions made by the women who nurtured the movement in its infancy and began so many of its traditions. These special rituals form a framework for today’s actions and provide inspiration for the future. The rich Girl Scout heritage of strong traditional values should be cherished and preserved. Many of the unique characteristics of our program are passed on from generation to generation-through beautiful and precious ceremonies.

  • An Examination of Hawaiian Translation A
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by ScholarSpace at University of Hawai'i at Manoa KA MANA UNUHI: AN EXAMINATION OF HAWAIIAN TRANSLATION A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI‘I AT MĀNOA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN ENGLISH December 2018 By Bryan Kamaoli Kuwada Dissertation Committee: Craig Howes, Chairperson Cristina Bacchilega kuʻualoha hoʻomanawanui Jonathan Kay Kamakawiwoʻole Osorio S. Shankar Noenoe K. Silva Keywords: Translation, ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi, Hawaiian newspapers, ea, mana ABSTRACT Translation has had a huge impact on Hawaiian history, both as it unfolded and how it came to be understood, yet it remains mostly invisible and understudied in contemporary Hawaiian scholarship. The study of translation is uniquely suited for examining the power dynamics of languages, and how these differential forces play out on ideological and political battlefields, particularly in colonial situations. By providing a historical overview of the material practices of translation from the kingdom era until today, this dissertation makes legible some of the unseen operations of translation and points to its importance as an analytical frame for Hawaiian history. Individual chapters focus on major moments of translation from the advent of Hawaiian literacy to contemporary struggles over language and land: the translation of the Bible into Hawaiian, the establishment and modification of the kingdom’s bi-lingual legal system, Hawaiians’ powerful deployment of translation in the nūpepa, the twentieth century production of extractive scholarly translations, and contemporary refusals to translate. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS He lau, he mano, he kini, he lehu hoʻi.

  • The Ghosts of Horseshoe Bend Myth, Memory, and the Making of A
    The Ghosts of Horseshoe Bend Myth, Memory, and the Making of a National Battlefield by Justin Scott Weiss A Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts Approved April 2014 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Donald Fixico, Chair Jack Schermerhorn Nancy Dallett ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY May 2014 ABSTRACT This research explores the various and often conflicting interpretations of the Battle of Horseshoe Bend, an event seemingly lost in the public mind of twenty- first century America. The conflict, which pitted United States forces under the command of Major General Andrew Jackson against a militant offshoot of the Creek Confederacy, known as the Redsticks, ranks as the single most staggering loss of life in annals of American Indian warfare. Today, exactly 200 years after the conflict, the legacy of Horseshoe Bend stands as an obscure and often unheard of event. Drawing upon over two centuries of unpublished archival data, newspapers, and political propaganda this research argues that the dominate narrative of Northern history, the shadowy details of the War of 1812, and the erasure of shameful events from the legacy of westward expansion have all contributed to transform what once was a battle of epic proportions, described by Jackson himself as an “extermination,” into a seemingly forgotten affair. Ultimately, the Battle of Horseshoe Bend's elusiveness has allowed for the production of various historical myths and political messages, critiques and hyperboles, facts and theories. Hailed as a triumph during the War of 1812, and a high-water mark by the proponents of Manifest Destiny, Jackson's victory has also experienced its fair share of American derision and disregard.
