Narrative Representations of Gender and Genre Through Lyric, Music, Image, and Staging in Carrie Underwood’S Blown Away Tour
COUNTRY CULTURE AND CROSSOVER: Narrative Representations of Gender and Genre Through Lyric, Music, Image, and Staging in Carrie Underwood’s Blown Away Tour Krisandra Ivings A Thesis Presented In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement for the Degree Master of Arts in Music with Specialization in Women’s Studies University of Ottawa © Krisandra Ivings, Ottawa, Canada, 2016 Abstract This thesis examines the complex and multi-dimensional narratives presented in the work of mainstream female country artist Carrie Underwood, and how her blending of musical genres (pop, rock, and country) affects the narratives pertaining to gender and sexuality that are told through her musical texts. I interrogate the relationships between and among the domains of music, lyrics, images, and staging in Underwood’s live performances (Blown Away Tour: Live DVD) and related music videos in order to identify how these gendered narratives relate to genre, and more specifically, where these performances and videos adhere to, expand on, or break from country music tropes and traditions. Adopting an interlocking theoretical approach grounded in genre theory, gender theory, narrative theory in the context of popular music, and happiness theory, I examine how, as a female artist in the country music industry, Underwood uses genre-blending to construct complex gendered narratives in her musical texts. Ultimately, I find that in her Blown Away Tour: Live DVD, Underwood uses diverse narrative strategies, sometimes drawing on country tropes, to engage techniques and stylistic influences of several pop and rock styles, and in doing so explores the gender norms of those genres. ii Acknowledgements A great number of people have supported this thesis behind the scenes, whether financially, academically, or emotionally.

HEART OF A DOG A FILM BY LAURIE ANDERSON 2015 // USA // 75 Minutes CANADIAN DISTRIBUTION - Films We Like - [email protected] CANADIAN PUBLICITY & MEDIA REQUESTS - V Kelly & Associates, Inc.: [email protected] Press Kit and High Rez Images: http://filmswelike.com/heart-of-a-dog SYNOPSIS "Hello, little bonehead. I'll love you forever." So begins HEART OF A DOG, creative pioneer Laurie Anderson's wry, wondrous and unforgettable cinematic journey through love, death and language. Centering on Anderson's beloved rat terrier Lolabelle, who died in 2011, HEART OF A DOG is a personal essay that weaves together childhood memories, video diaries, philosophical musings on data collection, surveillance culture and the Buddhist conception of the afterlife, and heartfelt tributes to the artists, writers, musicians and thinkers who inspire her. Fusing her own witty, inquisitive narration with original violin compositions, hand-drawn animation, 8mm home movies and artwork culled from exhibitions past and present, Anderson creates a hypnotic, collage-like visual language out of the raw materials of her life and art, examining how stories are constructed and told — and how we use them to make sense of our lives. ABOUT THE PRODUCTION HEART OF A DOG began three years ago as a short personal-essay film commissioned by the Franco-German public television station Arte, as part of a series featuring artists talking about the meaning of life and work. Laurie Anderson was in Paris at the time, presenting a solo performance that featured her rat terrier, Lolabelle. The commissioner Luciano Rigolini suggested, "How about some of those stories about your dog? That's philosophy, no?" Anderson’s eclectic career spans decades, and includes music, theater, drawing, electronics, performance and more.

De kalme voice-over van Laurie Anderson is te horen bij een stroom aan associatieve beel- den, animaties en 8mm-films uit haar kindertijd. De filmmaker vertelt het verhaal van haar geliefde hond Lolabelle die overleden is en snijdt daarbij de dood van haar moeder en ook haar echtgenoot Lou Reed aan. In de film, die ondersteund wordt met een door haar geschreven soundtrack, deelt ze haar jeugdfantasieën en behandelt ze politieke en filoso- fische theorieën. HEART OF A DOG ging in wereldpremière op het Internationale Filmfestival van Venetië in 2015 en won daar de Lina Mangiacapre Award. DIRECTOR’S NOTE As an artist I have made music, paintings, installations, sculpture, and theater. But most of all I am a storyteller. Making Heart of a Dog was a way to translate my work into a form I’ve never used in this way.
