Dixie Lullaby by Mark Kemp Pdf
Rock & roll has transformed American culture more profoundly than any other art form. During the 1960s, it defined a generation of young people as political and social idealists, helped end the Vietnam War, and ushered in the sexual revolution. In Dixie Lullaby, veteran music journalist Mark Kemp shows that rock also renewed the identity of a generation of white southerners who came of age in the decade after segregation -- the heyday of disco, Jimmy Carter, and Saturday Night Live. Growing up in North Carolina in the 1970s, Kemp experienced pain, confusion, and shame as a result of the South's residual civil rights battles. His elementary school was integrated in 1968, the year Kemp reached third grade; his aunts, uncles, and grandparents held outdated racist views that were typical of the time; his parents, however, believed blacks should be extended the same treatment as whites, but also counseled their children to respect their elder relatives. "I loved the land that surrounded me but hated the history that haunted that land," Kemp writes. When rock music, specifically southern rock, entered his life, he began to see a new way to identify himself, beyond the legacy of racism and stereotypes of southern small-mindedness that had marked his early childhood. Well into adulthood Kemp struggled with the self-loathing familiar to many white southerners. But the seeds of forgiveness were planted in adolescence when he first heard Duane Allman and Ronnie Van Zant pour their feelings into their songs. In the tradition of music historians such as Nick Tosches and Peter Guralnick, Kemp masterfully blends into his narrative the stories of southern rock bands --from heavy hitters such as the Allman Brothers Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and R.E.M. to influential but less-known groups such as Drive-By Truckers -- as well as the personal experiences of their fans. In dozens of interviews, he charts the course of southern rock & roll. Before civil rights, the popular music of the South was a small, often racially integrated world, but after Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination, black musicians struck out on their own. Their white counterparts were left to their own devices, and thus southern rock was born: a mix of popular southern styles that arose when predominantly white rockers combined rural folk, country, and rockabilly with the blues and jazz of African-American culture. This down-home, flannel-wearing, ass-kicking brand of rock took the nation by storm in the 1970s. The music gave southern kids who emulated these musicians a newfound voice. Kemp and his peers now had something they could be proud of: southern rock united them and gave them a new identity that went beyond outside perceptions of the South as one big racist backwater. Kemp offers a lyrical, thought-provoking, searingly intimate, and utterly original journey through the South of the 1960s, '70s, '80s, and '90s, viewed through the prism of rock & roll. With brilliant insight, he reveals the curative and unifying impact of rock on southerners who came of age under its influence in the chaotic years following desegregation. Dixie Lullaby fairly resonates with redemption.

Class Divisions in Serial Television by Sieglinde Lemke,Wibke Schniedermann Pdf
This book brings the emergent interest in social class and inequality to the field of television studies. It reveals how the new visibility of class matters in serial television functions aesthetically and examines the cultural class politics articulated in these programmes. This ground-breaking volume argues that reality and quality TV’s intricate politics of class entices viewers not only to grapple with previously invisible socio-economic realities but also to reconsider their class alignment. The stereotypical ways of framing class are now supplemented by those dedicated to exposing the economic and socio-psychological burdens of the (lower) middle class. The case studies in this book demonstrate how sophisticated narrative techniques coincide with equally complex ways of exposing class divisions in contemporary American life and how the examined shows disrupt the hegemonic order of class. The volume therefore also invites a rethinking of conventional models of social stratification.

Crazy Poor Rednecks by Jonathan P. Tomes Pdf
Not all the family battles of young couples who want to marry occur among the fabulously wealthy Chinese families of Singapore. Paul Thompson and Miryam Fox hadn't seen Crazy Rich Asians but could have related to it if they had.Paul was a Yankee, city, and college boy, and a future Army officer at that. Mir was a student nurse from a family that lived across the river from Cincinnati in Northern Kentucky. Well, they say opposites attract, but when Mir brings Paul home to meet her family, the matriarch, Mamaw, has assembled the whole tribe to watch the hound dog, Fang, eat the Yankee city boy alive. Unfortunately for the clan, the only danger Paul had was in was being licked to death.The next few tests failed miserably. Although Paul couldn't drive a stick shift auto, he somehow managed to drive the tractor at one of the clan's farms, and when Mir's half brother, Bobby Lee, a noted barroom brawler, tried to take him down, that failed miserably.Paul's mother, who fancied herself the cream of society in a small town near Cincinnati, didn't think Mir was good enough for her son, but was unable to be impolite. Instead, she tried to run Mir off by taking over the wedding. Mir's choice in a small church in Taylor Mill, Kentucky, or the huge society wedding in a fancy event center in Cincinnati?When the hillbillies and the society family get together for the first time, things turn very interesting, but the couple averts a total catastrophe.But Paul's devious mind--he had been notified that he would be commissioned in military intelligence--and Mir's good common sense figure out how to deal with this with a plan that satisfies both families.But the rub is Paul's mother decides that both families should accompany the newlyweds on their honeymoon to Belize. Can the couple ditch them without a diplomatic incident? Will Bobby Lee see the inside of a Belizean jail? Or will the whole family? And can Paul and Mir get them out?Crazy Poor Rednecks is funny, suspenseful, and romantic. And it could even be true!

Transgression in Games and Play by Kristine Jorgensen,Faltin Karlsen Pdf
Contributors from a range of disciplines explore boundary-crossing in videogames, examining both transgressive game content and transgressive player actions. Video gameplay can include transgressive play practices in which players act in ways meant to annoy, punish, or harass other players. Videogames themselves can include transgressive or upsetting content, including excessive violence. Such boundary-crossing in videogames belies the general idea that play and games are fun and non-serious, with little consequence outside the world of the game. In this book, contributors from a range of disciplines explore transgression in video games, examining both game content and player actions. The contributors consider the concept of transgression in games and play, drawing on discourses in sociology, philosophy, media studies, and game studies; offer case studies of transgressive play, considering, among other things, how gameplay practices can be at once playful and violations of social etiquette; investigate players' emotional responses to game content and play practices; examine the aesthetics of transgression, focusing on the ways that game design can be used for transgressive purposes; and discuss transgressive gameplay in a societal context. By emphasizing actual player experience, the book offers a contextual understanding of content and practices usually framed as simply problematic. Contributors Fraser Allison, Kristian A.

Framing Class by Diana Elizabeth Kendall Pdf
Framing Class is a cutting edge book that examines the sociological implications of class representations in the media and shows how slanted media framing of stories about wealth and poverty may significantly influence many people. Through a historical and contemporary analysis of newspaper articles and television shows, Framing Class demonstrates how the media perpetuate negative stereotypes about the working class and the poor while glorifying the material possessions and privileged status of the upper classes.
