    PERFORMED IDENTITIES: HEAVY METAL MUSICIANS BETWEEN 1984 AND 1991 Bradley C. Klypchak A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2007 Committee: Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Dr. John Makay Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Ron E. Shields Dr. Don McQuarie © 2007 Bradley C. Klypchak All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Between 1984 and 1991, heavy metal became one of the most publicly popular and commercially successful rock music subgenres. The focus of this dissertation is to explore the following research questions: How did the subculture of heavy metal music between 1984 and 1991 evolve and what meanings can be derived from this ongoing process? How did the contextual circumstances surrounding heavy metal music during this period impact the performative choices exhibited by artists, and from a position of retrospection, what lasting significance does this particular era of heavy metal merit today? A textual analysis of metal- related materials fostered the development of themes relating to the selective choices made and performances enacted by metal artists. These themes were then considered in terms of gender, sexuality, race, and age constructions as well as the ongoing negotiations of the metal artist within multiple performative realms. Occurring at the juncture of art and commerce, heavy metal music is a purposeful construction. Metal musicians made performative choices for serving particular aims, be it fame, wealth, or art. These same individuals worked within a greater system of influence. Metal bands were the contracted employees of record labels whose own corporate aims needed to be recognized.

  • Johnny Got His Gun – Dalton Trumbo
    JOHNNY GOT HIS GUN by Dalton Trumbo _____________________________ A Bantam Book Copyright © 1939, 1959 by Dalton Trumbo eBook scanned & proofed by Binwiped 11-22-02 [v1.0] Introduction World War I began like a summer festival—all billowing skirts and golden epaulets. Millions upon millions cheered from the sidewalks while plumed imperial highnesses, serenities, field marshals and other such fools paraded through the capital cities of Europe at the head of their shining legions. It was a season of generosity; a time for boasts, bands, poems, songs, innocent prayers. It was an August made palpitant and breathless by the pre-nuptial nights of young gentlemen-officers and the girls they left permanently behind them. One of the Highland regiments went over the top in its first battle behind forty kilted bagpipers, skirling away for all they were worth—at machine guns. Nine million corpses later, when the bands stopped and the serenities started running, the wail of bagpipes would never again sound quite the same. It was the last of the romantic wars; and Johnny Got His Gun was probably the last American novel written about it before an entirely different affair called World War II got under way. The book has a weird political history. Written in 1938 when pacifism was anathema to the American left and most of the center, it went to the printers in the spring of 1939 and was published on September third—ten days after the Nazi-Soviet pact, two days after the start of World War II. Shortly thereafter, on the recommendation of Mr.

  • Dalton Trumbo's JOHNNY GOT HIS GUN (1939; 1971)
    Brno Studies in English Volume 38, No. 1, 2012 ISSN 0524-6881 DOI: 10.5817/BSE2012-1-9 Tomáš POSPíšil AS CRIPPLED AS IT GETS: DALTON TRUMBO’S JOHNNY GOT HIS GUN (1939; 1971) Abstract Dalton Trumbo’s novel Johnny Got His Gun (1939) has come to be known as one of the strongest pacifist statements in American literature. In 1971 Trumbo returned to the topic with an eponymous film based on his own novel. By that time, however, both the personal situation of the author and the mood in the country had changed, and the nation was divided over the issue of the war in Vietnam. The paper seeks to offer a contrastive analysis of the novel and the film and situate them in their respective personal and social contexts. It examines the manner in which the young Trumbo is interpreted by the older Trumbo and it comments on the reception of both works. Key words Dalton Trumbo; Dalton Trumbo’s Johnny Got His Gun (1939); film adaptation (1971); book and film reception Johnny held a different meaning for three different wars. (Trumbo 1939: 2) Somewhere in a military hospital a mind awakens. It belongs to Joe Bonham, American soldier, profoundly mutilated by a WWI shell. Joe is a quadriplegic amputee, thus unable to move, a mere stump of a body on a hospital bed hidden away to prevent unease among the other wounded and personnel. To make mat- ters worse, even his jaws and face have been blown away, depriving their un- happy bearer of the senses of hearing, sight and smell.

  • 'The New Messiah of the Battlefields': the Body As Discursive Strategy In
    ‘The new messiah of the battlefields’: The Body as Discursive Strategy in Dalton Trumbo’s Johnny Got His Gun Wade Bell, University of Gothenburg Abstract This article discusses the discursive significance of the body in Dalton Trumbo’s classic anti-war novel, Johnny Got His Gun (1939). With its political rants, depictions of working-class life, symbolic imagery, and vivid descriptions of the dismembered torso of its protagonist, the human body emerges in Trumbo’s novel as our primary vehicle for being-in-the-world, as well as the figurative weight that grounds us in it. Following this logic, human freedom and autonomy appear to be curtailed by our own corporeal limitations, coupled with our involvement in a world of oppressive hierarchal systems and reified social relations. Building on the works of Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Mikhail Bakhtin, Georg Lukàcs and others, this study reveals a dialectic at work within Johnny between what can best be described as the phenomenal, reified, and grotesque bodies. While the phenomenal body of Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenology emphasizes relative autonomy and embodied subjectivity, the reified body represents humankind in a completely objectified state. My analysis illustrates how Trumbo’s text creates a tension between these two conceptions of being, while employing grotesque realism—a subversive literary mode utilizing the degraded image of the body—to inspire change in the real world. Keywords: corporeality; Dalton Trumbo; Johnny Got His Gun; phenomenology; reification; grotesque realism; Marxism; Maurice Merleau-Ponty; Mikhail Bakhtin Despite a political witch-hunt that resulted in its author’s blacklisting and imprisonment, Dalton Trumbo’s Johnny Got His Gun (1939) remains one of the most enduring antiwar statements in American literature.

There are water marks to the orange-red topstain, but no evidence of dampness or dampstains to the book, proper. Lippincott Company, Philadelphia Retrieved March 16, In a sense, they are strangers no matter where they go. I don't know what kind of mind a writer has to have to pull something like that off. I was finishing the last page on an airplane and an 80 year old yoga teacher looked at me and quietly summed up this book. And when I think beyond WW2, and beyond Vietnam, right up to more recent wars and those who have been blown to bits, or living with without limbs, from serving in places like Afghanistan and Iraq, along with the latest casualty of war out there somewhere right now, then this novel is depressingly timely, and probably always will be. You come to know little by little the terrible situation Johnny is experiencing. Lippincott, What he is saying is that World War I was the big war that served to open up the eyes of the world and cause the general public to finally understand that they were being lied to. This is a novel that never takes the easy way out: it is shocking, violent, terrifying, horrible, uncompromising, brutal, remorseless and gruesome Trumbo regretted this decision, which he later called "foolish," after two FBI agents showed up at his home and it became clear that "their interest lay not in the letters but in me.

Throughout the process of this project her invaluable feedback has developed my intellectual rigor and writing. I would like to thank her and Geoff Cohen for their unwavering support and mentorship throughout my undergraduate and graduate education. Because of them I first considered the prospect of graduate school and reaped the intellectual benefits of research as well as the personal joy of teaching. I appreciate the supportive network my committee provided. I thank George Haggerty, whose prolific and meaningful work inspires me. His steady guidance and encouragement has fueled the writing of this dissertation. My first chapter and subsequent publication would not have been possible without his extensive comments on early drafts and insightful theorization of friendship. Steven Gould Axelrod’s thoughtful conversations have shaped the way I read modernism and poetry. Other faculty members of the English Department as well as teacher-scholars of the University Writing Program have provided support and many opportunities. Andrea Denny-Brown has encouraged and counseled me throughout my graduate studies.

MODERN(IZING) BURIAL IN INTERWAR AMERICAN LITERATURE A dissertation presented in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English at The University of Mississippi By Victoria M. Bryan Copyright Victoria M. Bryan 2014 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT This dissertation aims to study literary representations of interwar American deathways as reflections of modernity. The study of burial in United States history tends to focus on mid- to late-nineteenth century movements that distance the dead from the living. This dissertation argues that these practices left Americans ill-equipped to process the influx of death from the conflict areas of World War I, keen to allow the further development of the funeral industry during the interwar period, and anxious about the certain rise in death tolls that would result from World War II. Interwar literature, therefore, exhibits a difficulty in meaning-making that extends to the increased death toll and the modernization of deathways between the world wars.
