Gender, Race and Popular Culture a Dissertation Submitted In
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA RIVERSIDE Feminism Without Feminists: Gender, Race and Popular Culture A Dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology by Linda Jin Kim August 2010 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Toby Miller, Co-Chairperson Dr. Ellen Reese, Co-Chairperson Dr. Scott Coltrane Dr. Scott Brooks Copyright by Linda Jin Kim 2010 The Dissertation of Linda Jin Kim is approved: _____________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________ Committee Co-Chairperson _____________________________________________________ Committee Co-Chairperson University of California, Riverside ACKNOWLEDGEMENT This dissertation has truly been a labor of love. I am blessed to have amazing faculty whom I admire and respect on my committee. My mentor, Toby Miller, has been with me since the inception of this project and has never failed in challenging me to expand my intellectual horizons and to sharpen my critical thinking skills. Ellen Reese, Scott Coltrane, and Scott Brooks have equally been significant figures throughout the various phases of my academic career. I would be remiss not to mention Karen Pyke and Jane Ward. Collectively, they have offered me invaluable wisdom, advice, and encouragement. I also wish to express gratitude to my meticulous research assistants, Allie Green, Alan Truong, and Angela Wagner, for transcribing the bulk of my interviews. In addition, I clocked in a lot of hours at my two local coffee shops on Ocean Park Boulevard and on Colorado Avenue (“my virtual mobile offices”). I have probably spent more face time with the baristas there than anyone else while I have been dissertating. I thank all of them, especially Alex, Bastian, and Steven.

Establishing Female Resistance As Tradition in Country Music: Towards a More Refined Discourse

Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository. 3970. https://ir.lib.uwo.ca/etd/3970 This Dissertation/Thesis is brought to you for free and open access by Scholarship@Western. It has been accepted for inclusion in Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository by an authorized administrator of Scholarship@Western. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Abstract This thesis analyzes facets of resistance in the lyrics of female country music performers and explores how their articulations of female resistance draw on and rework Appalachian folk traditions within country music. Beginning with the musical practices of Appalachian women, who used music to lament their lives restricted by domestic responsibilities, this thesis examines expressions of female resistance through lyrical analysis, with a concentration on female country performers from 1995 to the present. Despite evolving into a performance tradition, female resistance in country music continues to address the lived experiences of its female audience. As such, the female resistance tradition is an enduring component of country music that has addressed women’s issues for over a century.

Tusa. Over the past six years, I have thoroughly enjoyed the seminars, the conversations, and above all, friendship. If one were to add up the many hours he has spent guiding me in this endeavor, it would be a true testament to his dedication as a teacher. I could not have completed this project without his advocating for me to receive a Continuing Fellowship during this last year of writing. My deepest thanks. Special thanks to Robert S. Hatten, whose seminars and writings on issues of musical meaning form so much of the theoretical core of this project. He has profoundly influenced my thoughts in this regard, but most importantly, his generosity in providing time and feedback have benefited me enormously.

The New Television Masculinity in Rescue Me, Nip/Tuck, the Shield
Rescuing Men: The New Television Masculinity In Rescue Me, Nip/Tuck, The Shield, Boston Legal, & Dexter A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Pamela Hill Nettleton IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Mary Vavrus, Ph.D, Adviser November 2009 © Pamela Hill Nettleton, November/2009 i Acknowledgements I have had the extreme good fortune of benefitting from the guidance, insight, wit, and wisdom of a committee of exceptional and accomplished scholars. First, I wish to thank my advisor, Mary Vavrus, whose insightful work in feminist media studies and political economy is widely respected and admired. She has been an inspiring teacher, an astute critic, and a thoughtful pilot for me through this process, and I attempt to channel her dignity and competence daily. Thank you to my committee chair, Gilbert Rodman, for his unfailing encouragement and support and for his perceptive insights; he has a rare gift for challenging students while simultaneously imbuing them with confidence. Donald Browne honored me with his advice and participation even as he prepared to ease his way out of active teaching, and I learned from him as his student, as his teaching assistant, and as a listener to what must be only a tiny part of his considerable collection of modern symphonic music. Jacqueline Zita’s combination of theoretical acumen and pragmatic activism is the very definition of a feminist scholar, and my days in her classroom were memorable. Laurie Ouellette is a polished and flawless extemporaneous speaker and teacher, and her writing on television is illuminating; I have learned much from her.
