He thought he could deal with it for a day. After the pain didn’t recede, he had been bedrid- den for three weeks and had done negative self-checks for tumors, Rosenberry, now a graduate student in stu- dent services at CSU, decided to call the doctor. “You sit down, and the doctor tells you that you have testicular cancer, and you say to yourself, ‘What’s going to happen to the barbecue I had planned this weekend?’” Rosenberry said.

Bien que ceux-ci se soient excusés par la suite, le mouvement a continué à défendre des valeurs de tolérance et de compréhension mutuelle par l’organisation de concerts et festivals, auxquels public et artistes (The Clash, The Buzzcocks, etc.) ont afflué. Relancé en 2002 par une série de concerts “Love Music Hate Racism”, le mouvement RAR a rencontré le soutien des artistes Damon Albarn, Kaiser Chiefs, Asian Dub Foundation. Que cette première journée rayonne sur tout le festival ! 12 août Nouvelle Vague 16:30 - Grande Scène Le projet de Nouvelle Vague est de réarranger de façon personnelle les plus grands titres post punk du début des années 1980 qui sont très rarement repris car jamais vraiment considérés comme de vraies chansons. Puis par la suite les titres sont réarrangés en suivant une autre idée: les sonorités des caraïbes entre 1940 et 1970, soit le ska/rocksteady, le reggae, le calypso, la salsa cubaine, le vaudou haitien, etc. D'où des arrangements et orchestrations très colorées, beaucoup de percussions, des guitares acoustiques et des voix féminines, mais aussi un chanteur, de l'accordéon, du steel drum etc. Nouvelle Vague reprend les titres de grands groupes emblématiques comme Bauhaus ou Siouxsie, aussi bien que des pépites oubliées.

Free Speech for Lawyers BYW. BRADLEY WENDEL* L Introduction One of the most important unanswered questions in legal ethics is how the constitutional guarantee of freedom of expression ought to apply to the speech of attorneys acting in their official capacity. The Supreme Court has addressed numerous First Amendment issues in- volving lawyers,' of course, but in all of them has declined to consider directly the central conceptual issue of whether lawyers possess di- minished free expression rights, as compared with ordinary, non- lawyer citizens. Despite its assiduous attempt to avoid this question, the Court's hand may soon be forced. Free speech issues are prolif- erating in the state and lower federal courts, and the results betoken doctrinal incoherence.

ABSTRACT In the last five years, news of various scandals in the pageant industry has inundated media outlets. These recent incidents are by no means outliers in the history of pageantry. This article ex- plores the significance of one of these controversies - the Rebekah Revels litigation, which stemmed from the disputed 2002 Miss North Carolina pageant. For context, this article first outlines allegations of wrongdoing in early pageants. It proceeds with an analysis of how the Revels liti- gation serves as an exemplar of the types of contract lawsuits that may continue to entangle pageant organizations in the future. Finally, the article provides an examination of the specific legal, economic, and sociocultural effects that the Revels litigation has had, and likely will continue to have, upon the business model of the pageant industry.

    UNIVERSITY OF JYVÄSKYLÄ ”BUUZZIA, BUDIA JA HYVÄÄ GHETTOBOOTYA” - THE CONSTRUCTION OF HIP HOP IDENTITIES IN FINNISH RAP LYRICS THROUGH ENGLISH AND LANGUAGE MIXING A Pro Gradu Thesis in English by Elina Westinen Department of Languages 2007 HUMANISTINEN TIEDEKUNTA KIELTEN LAITOS Elina Westinen ”BUUZZIA, BUDIA JA HYVÄÄ GHETTOBOOTYA” - THE CONSTRUCTION OF HIP HOP IDENTITIES IN FINNISH RAP LYRICS THROUGH ENGLISH AND LANGUAGE MIXING Pro gradu –tutkielma Englannin kieli Joulukuu 2007 141 sivua Englannin kielen rooli ja asema maailmankielenä on kiistaton, ja Suomessakin englannin kieltä käytetään monilla eri aloilla. Juuriltaan amerikkalaisesta hip hop – kulttuuristakin on viime vuosina kasvanut globaali nuorisokulttuuri, joka on saavuttanut pysyvän aseman Suomessa. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on selvittää, miten hip hop –identiteetti rakentuu suomalaisissa rap–lyriikoissa. Päätavoitteena on tutkia, millainen hip hop –identiteetti muodostuu lyriikoiden englannin kielen ja kielten sekoittumisen (suomi ja englanti) kautta. Tutkimuksen aineistona käytetään kolmen eri hip hop –artistin ja – ryhmän (Cheek, Sere & SP ja Kemmuru) lyriikoita 2000-luvulta. Niiden pääkieli on suomi, mutta kaikissa kappaleissa on myös englanninkielisiä elementtejä. Sanojen tarkkojen alkuperien sekä muun tiedon selvittämiseksi olen tarvittaessa konsultoinut itse artisteja. Analyysissä identiteetin käsitetään rakentuvan osaltaan kielen avulla. Identiteetti rakentuu diskursseissa, ja se on muuttuva ja monitahoinen. Aineiston analyysissä kielenvaihtelu ymmärretään joko a) kielten sekoittumisena, josta syntyy kokonaan uusi kieli/kielellinen tyyli tai b) koodinvaihtona, joka on merkityksellistä diskurssin paikallisella tasolla. Tulokset osoittavat, että rap–lyriikoissa pikemminkin sekoitetaan suomen ja englannin kieltä (language mixing) kuin vaihdetaan koodia. Näin ollen muodostuu uusi, suomalaisille rap–lyriikoille ominainen kieli ja tyyli. Usein hip hop -englannin sanoja ja fraaseja taivutetaan suomen ortografian, morfologian tai molempien mukaan. Joskus lyriikoissa esiintyy myös ns.

  • The Clash and Mass Media Messages from the Only Band That Matters
    THE CLASH AND MASS MEDIA MESSAGES FROM THE ONLY BAND THAT MATTERS Sean Xavier Ahern A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2012 Committee: Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Kristen Rudisill © 2012 Sean Xavier Ahern All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeremy Wallach, Advisor This thesis analyzes the music of the British punk rock band The Clash through the use of media imagery in popular music in an effort to inform listeners of contemporary news items. I propose to look at the punk rock band The Clash not solely as a first wave English punk rock band but rather as a “news-giving” group as presented during their interview on the Tom Snyder show in 1981. I argue that the band’s use of communication metaphors and imagery in their songs and album art helped to communicate with their audience in a way that their contemporaries were unable to. Broken down into four chapters, I look at each of the major releases by the band in chronological order as they progressed from a London punk band to a globally known popular rock act. Viewing The Clash as a “news giving” punk rock band that inundated their lyrics, music videos and live performances with communication images, The Clash used their position as a popular act to inform their audience, asking them to question their surroundings and “know your rights.” iv For Pat and Zach Ahern Go Easy, Step Lightly, Stay Free. v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This thesis would not have been possible without the help of many, many people.

  • Peace Punks and Punks Against Racism: Resource Mobilization and Frame Construction in the Punk Movement
    Music and Arts in Action | Volume 2 | Issue 1 PEACE PUNKS AND PUNKS AGAINST RACISM: RESOURCE MOBILIZATION AND FRAME CONSTRUCTION IN THE PUNK MOVEMENT MIKE ROBERTS & RYAN MOORE Department of Sociology | San Diego State University | USA* Department of Sociology | Florida Atlantic University | USA ABSTRACT In recent years, scholars have begun to attend to the gap in our understanding of the relationship between music and social movements. One such example is Corte’s and Edwards’ “White Power Music and the Mobilization of Racist Social Movements.” Our research shares the perspective of Corte and Edwards (2008) which emphasizes the centrality of music to social movement organizations, especially in terms of resource mobilization, but rather than look at how punk music was used as an instrument by an external social movement like the White Power movement, we look at how punks themselves joined social movements and altered the dynamics of the movements they joined. We also provide examples of punk involvement in left wing social movements to emphasize the indeterminate nature of punk politics. We examine two such cases: the Rock Against Racism movement in the U.K., and the Peace movement in the U.S. In both cases, punks made use of their independent media as a means to provide an infrastructure for mobilization of resources to sustain the punks’ involvement in these social movements and the unique framing provided by punks, which altered the dynamic of the movements they joined. What makes punk an interesting case is that the “do-it-yourself” ethic of independent media construction that was at the centre of the punk movement made it possible for punks to make connections to various other social movements as well as alter the dynamics of those social movements.

    Materials on Proposed Changes to Rule 23 Prepared for the First Annual Civil Procedure Workshop July 2015 1 of 234 June 17, 2015 Colleagues, As you know, the Advisory Committee on Civil Rules is presently considering amendments to Rule 23 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Several members of the Advisory Committee will attend a session of the Civil Procedure Workshop on July 17, 2015, to discuss their work with attendees. I have assembled materials on several of these proposed amendments, should any of you wish to prepare for our roundtable discussion with the Advisory Committee members. These materials consist chiefly of Advisory Committee documents, significant U.S. Court of Appeals decisions on the issues that several of the proposed amendments address, and pertinent sections from the American Law Institute’s Principles of the Law of Aggregate Litigation. I have not included any secondary literature, with the exception of a Judicature article by Richard Marcus introducing the Advisory Committee’s agenda. (Prof. Marcus is the committee’s associate reporter.) If you wish to read more than what I have excerpted here, I have compiled a short list of some additional reading below. The included materials and the suggested articles are based on a judgment as to what would be helpful in getting someone up to speed on the Advisory Committee’s deliberations. They are hardly comprehensive, and I harbor no illusion that I have necessarily identified all the key texts. I’m hopeful that they will help get you started.
