The Union of Glee Clubs on the territory of the Grand Duchy of Poznan began to issue publications towards the end of the 19th century.

Arbetet består av en närläsning av karaktären Kurt Hummel i tv-serien Glee med fokus på stereotyper för homosexuella män, och hur Kurt förhåller sig till dem stereotyperna. Studien är gjord utifrån ett queerteoretiskt perspektiv och visar att Kurt i viss mån framställs stereotypt i seriens tidigare avsnitt, men att han efter hand uppvisar ett djup och komplexitet som man inte ofta ser hos homosexuella karaktärer på tv.

Procura-se, através desse seriado, demonstrar como suas arrativas podem impactar para a derrubada de alguns pré-conceitos ao abordar alguns marcadores sociais como os de cor/raça, gênero, nacionalidades subalternas, deficiências, e outros, ainda considerados tabus, como a homossexualidade e a homoparentalidade. Para tanto, discutiram-se as construções identitárias e a dinamicidade da cultura e a inter-relação entre elas; o papel da mídia como meio de questionamento de tabus; a construção histórica das identidades de gênero e sexual, elencando autores, como Butler, Cunha, Furlani, Kellner, Miskolci, Weeks e outros, para sustentar nossa argumentação e colocar em evidência conceitos que abordam as diferentes culturas e demonstram os limites e possibilidades do corpo, a fim de criticar uma realidade e construir outra, fruto dos novos tempos.

In this dissertation, I examine extracurricular music of American universities between the two World Wars and consider it as an indicator of the idealization of collegiate life. Interwar discourse at American universities demonstrated the two contrasting ideals of the older collegiate model and the more recent university model. The collegiate model was associated with ideals related to character building, a sense of community, and a common curriculum, whereas the university model was associated with social utility, research, and liberal culture. Proponents of the collegiate model idealized an older collegiate life in America. One version of this idealized collegiate life captured the popular imagination of Americans in the late nineteenth century – the vision of students developing their social skills in the extracurriculum at the expense of their intellect in the official curriculum. Various members of the university community at Stanford University, The University of Texas, and Yale University promoted this idyllic view of collegiate life in the extracurriculum. Marching bands, glee clubs, and bell instruments were thought to transmit collegiate values of community and character building. The music’s adaptation to modern trends and values, however, reveal that it did not fully adhere to an idealized image of pre-modern college life. The university communities believed that music (and sound in general) with its ability to reach listeners’ memories and emotions, was unique in its access to interior subjectivity. This belief guided university administrators to use campus sounds to instill school spirit and nostalgia. Yet the failure of certain audio memorabilia, namely the Talking Page of the Onondagan yearbook of Syracuse University and The Cactus in Sound of The University of Texas, leads us to question this assumption of special interior access. Administrators, students, and alumni all had a hand in using sounds to elicit these strong sentiments toward their university, which administrators hoped would foster increased financial support / text
