  • Eating After the Triple Disaster: New Meanings of Food in Three Post-3.11 Texts
    EATING AFTER THE TRIPLE DISASTER: NEW MEANINGS OF FOOD IN THREE POST-3.11 TEXTS by ROSALEY GAI B.A., The University of Chicago, June 2016 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Asian Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) August 2020 © Rosaley Gai, 2020 The following individuals certify that they have read, and recommend to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies for acceptance, the thesis entitled: Eating After the Triple Disaster: New Meanings of Food in Three Post-3.11 Texts submitted by Rosaley Gai in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Asian Studies Examining Committee: Sharalyn Orbaugh, Professor, Asian Studies, UBC Supervisor Christina Yi, Associate Professor, Asian Studies, UBC Supervisory Committee Member Ayaka Yoshimizu, Assistant Professor of Teaching, Asian Studies, UBC Supervisory Committee Member ii ABstract Known colloquially as “3.11,” the triple disaster that struck Japan’s northeastern region of Tōhoku on March 11, 2011 comprised of both natural (the magnitude 9.0 earthquake and resultant tsunami) and humanmade (the nuclear meltdown at the Tokyo Electric Power Company’s Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant incurred due to post-earthquake damage) disasters. In the days, weeks, months, and years that followed, there was an outpouring of media reacting to and reflecting on the great loss of life and resulting nuclear contamination of the nearby land and sea of the region. Thematically, food plays a large role in many post-3.11 narratives, both through the damage and recovery of local food systems after the natural disasters and the radiation contamination that to this day stigmatizes regionally grown food.

The band, consisting of bassist/vocalist Mark Hoppus, guitarist/vocalist Matt Skiba and drummer Travis Barker, began developing the album after performing touring commitments on their previous release, California (2016). While Nine is based on their collaboration with producer John Feldman, who also produced California, it also employs additional outside producers and songwriters including Captain Cuts, Futuristics and Tim Paniotta. Although Nine is consistently the eighth studio album of Blink-182, Hoppus and Barker decided to consider it the ninth, retroactively considering the 1994 band's demo, Buddha, their first. Hoppus also called the number 9 the number of universal love and the number of Uranus. The cover of the flower-washing album was written by graffiti artist RISK. Much of the album's lyricism is dark in nature and was based on world events, as well as on Hoppus's struggle with depression.

  • Paul Simon's Graceland: Days of Wonder and Miracles by Yunus
    Paul Simon’s Graceland: Days of wonder and miracles by Yunus Momoniat 8 March 2021 When Paul Simon embarked on a project to draw inspiration from South African musicians, he set out on a perilous obstacle course that would stir fevered controversy. Simon entered into a political minefield: he transgressed the United Nations’ call to boycott South Africa’s apartheid regime, he angered the African National Congress and other liberation movements and he dared to question the thinking behind their political tactics. This was the project, begun 35 years ago in February 1985, that resulted in the release of Graceland, the album that saved Simon’s flagging career but which also brought world acclaim for music from South Africa. By no means ignorant of the horrors of apartheid, Simon appreciated the reasoning behind the cultural boycott, and had turned down invitations to perform at Sun City in what was then the Bophuthatswana “independent homeland”. Other famous musicians took up the invitation and came to play to white South African audiences who would never otherwise see world-class acts because of the cultural boycott. Many of these were blacklisted, including Queen, Rod Stewart, the Beach Boys, Frank Sinatra, Elton John and, crucially, Linda Ronstadt. Around the same time, Stevie Van Zandt, guitarist for Bruce Springsteen, founded Artists United Against Apartheid, producing an album and single, both titled Sun City, to urge artists to support the cultural boycott. It featured Springsteen, Miles Davis, Bob Dylan, Herbie Hancock, Gil Scott-Heron, Ringo Starr, Run DMC, Lou Reed and Peter Gabriel among the 50 or so artists who took part.

  • Populärkulturens Utveckling, Kompendium (2)
    1970 På sjuttiotalet insåg man att det var nödvändigt att det fanns en gräns för exempelvis energiresurser och droganvändning. Därför kallas ibland sjuttiotalet för sextiotalets baksmälla. Starka politiska diskussioner växte fram om allt möjligt: feminism, miljöpolitik, sociala reformer osv. Politiken kom även att influera klädmodet en hel del vid denna period. Många upptäckte nämligen att kläder var ett värdefullt verktyg för att uttrycka sina åsikter på. Kvinnorörelserna brände sina Bh:ar och klädde sig i kostym. Amerikanska fredsdemonstranter bar militärjackor och kommunisterna bar arbetarkläder. Alla människor hade en åsikt, och därför skapades stilar där ens värderingar lyste igenom. Detta insåg även de stora designermärkena, och började därför använda detta i sina kollektioner. Under sjuttiotalet insåg många klädtillverkare att det var mycket billigare att producera sina kläder i asiatiska utvecklingsländer, och sedan sälja dem i sina egna länder. I Sverige hade vi tidigare stora klädföretag som t.ex. Algots som länge hade tillverkat och sålt sina kläder men som nu fick de läggas ner. Flytten av klädindustrin till U-länderna pressade ner priserna på kläder eftersom det var billigare att tillverka där, vilket också gjorde att det blev lättare att få tag på. Det ledde i sin tur till att fler sorters klädesplagg och stilar blev populära och folk kunde lättare skapa en personlig stil. Kortfakta 13 februari: En männniskoätande tiger uppges ha dödat 48 personer, bara 80 km från New Delhi, Indien. 3 april: En engelsk kvinna, Miriam Hargrave, klarar sitt körprov på sitt 40:e försök. Ett par naturkatastrofer inträffade, några jordbävningar. Cyklonen Bhola är det inofficiella namnet på en ovanligt destruktiv tropisk cyklon som i november 1970 drabbade Östpakistan (nuvarande Bangladesh).

  • “The Song of Redemption” (PDF)
    The Song of Redemption December 3, 2011 / 7 Kislev, 5772 Rabbi Daniel Greyber On Thursday night, Jennifer, Sibby, Rabbi Sager and I went to hear Paul Simon at DPAC. It was an overwhelming experience. The nostalgia in the room. The pulse of a group of musicians who come together and become more than the sum of their parts. Even from the 2nd balcony, the awe of being in the room with the man whose recordings were so much a part of my childhood, so much a part of American life, and the lives of so many people in the room that night, to look down and see his mouth move and hear the words and the tone and the melodies I knew so well, all of it reminded me of the power and life of live music. The tour is called “So Beautiful or So What,” named after Paul Simon’s new album. A few weeks ago I went onto I-Tunes to buy a copy but I couldn’t bring myself to do it. I bought The Essential Paul Simon – a collection of Simon and Garfunkle concert recordings instead. I imagine I am not alone when I confess that, at DPAC, I listened patiently as Simon played a few of the new songs but they were not what I came to hear. What I enjoyed was when he played Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes, The Boy in the Bubble and Graceland, and what I really really enjoyed was when he played the Sounds of Silence and The Only Living Boy in New York, and Hearts and Bones and 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover.

  • Two Bands, Two Legends
    TWO BANDS, TWO LEGENDS Jennifer Latham Biology/Chemistry Northview High School, Brazil, IN The 'sixties was a time of cultural, sexual, and musical revolution. The music scene was bombarded with folk and rock groups not only from the United States, but also from England. Two groups that captured the minds and hears of millions were The Beatles and Simon and Garfunkel. The Beatles (earlier in their career) were thought of as sex symbols and teen-idols. They energetically sang about love and being young with a rock and roll style. Simon and Garfunkel, on the other, singing their insightful folk tunes, appealed to a more mature, reflective audience. Even though both The Beatles and Simon and Garfunkel became popular in the same time period, the groups themselves had specific qualities which gave each a distinct style. Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Ringo Starr, and John Lennon, with their boyish charm and jazz-pop style, were The Beatles. They took control of the music review charts in England and the United States with hits such as "Can't Buy Me Love," "Hard Day's Night," "Hey, Jude," and the first song that they released which sent them on their way to fame, "I Want To Hold Your Hand." Their songs could be humorous or satirical, without being offensive or crude, showing the good taste of the group. Paul McCartney and John Lennon, who wrote most of the lyrics, proved to be genuine poets with romantic tendencies, writing about love, life, and the world. For this reason, one would be hard-pressed to find a female who was not smitten with the Fab-Four ( a nick-name given to them by their home town of Liverpool, England).
