  • Cultivating Identity and the Music of Ultimate Fighting
    CULIVATING IDENTITY AND THE MUSIC OF ULTIMATE FIGHTING Luke R Davis A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC August 2012 Committee: Megan Rancier, Advisor Kara Attrep © 2012 Luke R Davis All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Megan Rancier, Advisor In this project, I studied the music used in Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) events and connect it to greater themes and aspects of social study. By examining the events of the UFC and how music is used, I focussed primarily on three issues that create a multi-layered understanding of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighters and the cultivation of identity. First, I examined ideas of identity formation and cultivation. Since each fighter in UFC events enters his fight to a specific, and self-chosen, musical piece, different aspects of identity including race, political views, gender ideologies, and class are outwardly projected to fans and other fighters with the choice of entrance music. This type of musical representation of identity has been discussed (although not always in relation to sports) in works by past scholars (Kun, 2005; Hamera, 2005; Garrett, 2008; Burton, 2010; Mcleod, 2011). Second, after establishing a deeper sense of socio-cultural fighter identity through entrance music, this project examined ideas of nationalism within the UFC. Although traces of nationalism fall within the purview of entrance music and identity, the UFC aids in the nationalistic representations of their fighters by utilizing different tactics of marketing and fighter branding. Lastly, this project built upon the above- mentioned issues of identity and nationality to appropriately discuss aspects of how the UFC attempts to depict fighter character to create a “good vs.

  • New Transform Baltimore Campaign Video Profiles the Impact of Federal School Construction Dollars TAKE ACTION
    September 2011 Education Advocate In this issue... 1) New video profiles impact of federal construction dollars 2) TAKE ACTION to support federal funding for school renovations New Transform Baltimore campaign video profiles the impact of federal school construction dollars The latest installment in a series of short online videos, Stories of Transformation: Commodore John Rodgers tells the story of how federal investment in school construction has made a real impact upon students, parents, educators, and an entire community. As part of the turnaround process, the school received over $900,00 in federal stimulus funds to renovate its aging building. Even with this modest investment, they were able to add air conditioning in some classrooms, install energy efficient lighting throughout, upgrade the auditorium with new chairs, and make other necessary repairs. The video highlights the positive changes in school culture and the difference a great school building can make in our neighborhoods and communities! Click here to check out the new video! TAKE ACTION: QUICK, SIMPLE, AND IMPORTANT! Call your U.S. Senators and Representatives! We need money to fix our school buildings and keep teacher jobs! Support President Obama's plan! President Obama's jobs proposal would send $315 million to Maryland, including $114 million to Baltimore City, to repair aging school buildings. The bill also includes over $500 million to keep thousands of Maryland teachers in classrooms. This bill will not pass Congress unless our Congresspeople hear from us! Please make these three quick calls! A sample script is below. Everyone call: Sen. Benjamin Cardin (202) 224-4524 Sen.

  • Undefeated Olympians Collide As Champion Ronda Rousey Meets Sara Mcmann at Ufc® 170 Saturday, February 22
    UNDEFEATED OLYMPIANS COLLIDE AS CHAMPION RONDA ROUSEY MEETS SARA MCMANN AT UFC® 170 SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 22 Las Vegas, Nevada – In what could prove to be her toughest challenge yet, UFC® women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey (8-0, fighting out of Venice, Calif.) squares off against undefeated wrestling sensation Sara McMann (7-0, fighting out of Gaffney, SC) in a battle of Olympic medalists at UFC® 170 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center Saturday, Feb. 22. A bronze medal winner in Judo at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, Rousey recently defeated her bitter rival Miesha Tate at UFC 168 to retain the women’s bantamweight belt and remain the divison’s only champion. Now she takes on McMann, who comes in as the most decorated wrestler in the weight class, having also earned Olympic silver at the 2004 games in Athens in free- style wrestling. In addition to the Rousey-McMann tilt, (No. 3) Rashad Evans (19-3, fighting out of Boca Raton, Fla.), a former light heavyweight champion, battles the Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix winner Daniel Cormier (13-0, fighting out of San Jose, Calif.) in his debut at the 205-pound weight class.

  • Chapter 8 “The Elephant in the Room?” Peak Oil on the Security Agenda
    New Issues in Security #5 CRITICAL ENVIRONMENTAL SECURITY: RETHINKING THE LINKS BETWEEN NATURAL RESOURCES AND POLITICAL VIOLENCE Edited by Matthew A. Schnurr and Larry A. Swatuk Centre for Foreign Policy Studies Dalhousie University 2010 CHAPTER 8 “THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM?” PEAK OIL ON THE SECURITY AGENDA Shane Mulligan Can I tell you the truth? I mean this isn’t like TV news, is it? Here’s what I think the truth is: We are all addicts of fossil fuels in a state of denial, about to face cold turkey.1 Introduction Peak oil is an awkward topic to broach. While there is strong evidence that world oil production levels are near their maximum, and while a growing chorus warns of the challenges and threats this poses to economic growth and political stability, there is virtually no public policy discourse directed to the issue, and only a handful of academics seem prepared to investigate the phenomenon and its implications for economies, societies and state (as well as human) security. It is as if there is a tacit agreement to avoid the topic, an agreement in which we are all, to some extent, participat- ing, through our avoidance of this ‘elephant in the room.’ The evidence for peak oil is often received with reticence, or even hostility toward the speaker. Indeed, breaching the silence of an open secret – “something of which everyone is aware yet no one is willing to publicly acknowledge” – is akin to “breach[ing] some implicit social contract, and groups indeed treat those who violate their norms of attention and discourse just as they do any other social deviants who defy their authority and dis- regard their rules.”2 This paper aims to go further, however, to talk about the very fact that we don’t want to discuss it, even though “the very act of avoiding the elephant is itself an elephant!”3 The latter, too, is something we don’t generally talk about.
