“American Idiot”: Examining Readers' Subject Position in One of Green Passage2013, 1(1), 107-114 “American idiot”: Examining Readers’ Subject Position in One of Green Day’s Albums Admiral Indra Supardan [email protected]/[email protected] *Admiral graduated in February 2013 from Literature Major at English Language and Literature Study Program, Indonesia University of Education Bandung ABSTRACT This research paper entitled “American Idiot”: Examining Readers’ Subject Position in One of Green Day’s Music Albums is aimed at investigating the ways by which the sixth album of Green Day, American Idiot (2004), ideologically positioned the implied readers in opposite to the USA political agenda. A qualitative descriptive study is employed in this present study. In analyzing the album, which consists of 13 songs, three theoretical frameworks are used: ideological analysis by John Lye (1997), context framework by Adrian Beard (2001), and John Stephens’ (1992) narrative transactions—where he locates the implied readers as the ideological function of a text. By having those frameworks within the analysis, the study discovers five socio-cultural issues, recognized as an attempt to position the implied readers in opposite the US political agenda in Bush administration. These assumptions within the issues known as a subject position are ideologically offered to the readers or the implied readers through narrative aspects; point of view and narrator. Keywords: implied author, implied reader, subject position, ideology, narrative. 107 Passage2013, 1(1), 107-114 INTRODUCTION Ideology is practiced in a social practice (Fiske, 1990); that literary works—as it is considered as the author brings his own political belief and social background, is the 2001, known as 9/11—nine eleven main cause that a literary work is (Egerdahl, 2010). Moreover, the imbued with certain ideology. The album criticizes the American term ideology here, defined by ideology of what Ryn (2003) called Hollindale (1998), cited on as American Empire Ideology, that Wannamaker (2009), is beliefs that generally introduces United States as are left unexamined by the writer and the leader in order to make the world it slips into the text unseen with not only safer but also better—the people’s bare eyes. In this case, a writer tends to call it as a utopian song as a literary work, an artifact, belief. That the American Empire and a social product (Eagleton, 2002) Ideology engages with Bush’s is seen as a proper medium to justification towards the raid on Iraq examine how the ideology is is what the album mostly manifested and practiced. emphasizes. It has been decided that one Since the album is closely of Green Day’s albums entitled related to the critic towards the US American Idiot (2004), is the main ideology and its agenda, hence, the focus of the study, since the album is study is geared to answer the highly political and recognized by following question which also many people, not to mention the related to examining readers’ subject achievements the album has. The position in Green Day`s album album that has been written mostly American Idiot, and the question is by Green Day’s vocalist, Billie Joe established as follow: “In what Armstrong, captures the images of way(s) does Green Day’s album the USA related to the aftermath of American Idiot ideologically position the tragic event in September 11, the implied reader(s) in opposite to 108 Passage2013, 1(1), 107-114 the USA political agenda?” texts and contexts—to get a better Hopefully, by having this question understanding of each song as answered, the readers of the study literary text, and supported by Lye`s will be more aware of how song (1997) Ideological Reading—to lyrics position the implied readers in uncover what is being mystified in a certain way: either to reject or to the text.

METHODOLOGY That listening to the whole songs over time is needed so that the To conduct the study, there writer could identify and list some are several steps taken. It begins with issues in the album, and interpret the collecting the data from the album songs. These steps are followed by American Idiot that consists of applying Beard (2001) and Lye thirteen songs: 1. American Idiot, 2. (1997) approaches into the text. Jesus of Suburbia, 3. Holiday, 4.

  • America's Changing Mirror: How Popular Music Reflects Public
    AMERICA’S CHANGING MIRROR: HOW POPULAR MUSIC REFLECTS PUBLIC OPINION DURING WARTIME by Christina Tomlinson Campbell University Faculty Mentor Jaclyn Stanke Campbell University Entertainment is always a national asset. Invaluable in times of peace, it is indispensable in wartime. All those who are working in the entertainment industry are building and maintaining national morale both on the battlefront and on the home front. 1 Franklin D. Roosevelt, June 12, 1943 Whether or not we admit it, societies change in wartime. It is safe to say that after every war in America’s history, society undergoes large changes or embraces new mores, depending on the extent to which war has affected the nation. Some of the “smaller wars” in our history, like the Mexican-American War or the Spanish-American War, have left little traces of change that scarcely venture beyond some territorial adjustments and honorable mentions in our textbooks. Other wars have had profound effects in their aftermath or began as a result of a 1 Telegram to the National Conference of the Entertainment Industry for War Activities, quoted in John Bush Jones, The Songs that Fought the War: Popular Music and the Home Front, 1939-1945 (Lebanon, NH: University Press of New England, 2006), 31. catastrophic event: World War I, World War II, Vietnam, and the current wars in the Middle East. These major conflicts create changes in society that are experienced in the long term, whether expressed in new legislation, changed social customs, or new ways of thinking about government. While some of these large social shifts may be easy to spot, such as the GI Bill or the baby boom phenomenon in the 1940s and 1950s, it is also interesting to consider the changed ways of thinking in modern societies as a result of war and the degree to which information is filtered.
