Abstract:
Common knowledge has it that Elvis Presley stood for sexual liberation – because his gyrations caused the first controversy, he liberated Western culture from the curse of sexual repression. Beyond the female fans that play a role in that image, Elvis has a vast number of male followers. With more than 20,000 members, the Official Elvis Presley Fan Club of Great Britain (OEPFC) is the largest fan club in the world. According to the president, half the members are male (Slaughter 1996, p. 1). This means that thousands of male fans are dedicated enough to stay in one organisation. Over 400 smaller clubs remain active, so Elvis still has thousands of male devotees. What can be said about how these fans relate to their idol? More fundamentally, what are the most suitable research methods, ideas and approaches to use when answering that question?

Abstract:
Le phenomene qui s'est developpe autour d'elvis presley semble participer de l'emergence des religiosites seculieres et s'inscrire dans la problematique de la mutation du religieux au sein de la modernite. Aussi le recours aux outils theoriques de la sociologie des religions et de l'anthropologie (concepts de religion, de mythe, de rite, de sacre. . . ) peut s'averer efficace pour l'etude de la celebration de ce chanteur et de l'admiration qu'il suscite. Elvis presley est ne en tant que chanteur avec le rock'n'roll, au milieu des annees 1950, profitant d'une serie de facteurs economiques, demographiques, sociaux, et culturels, avant de devenir une star au succes international. Avec sa disparition, s'est constitue un discours elogieux, hagiographique, commemoratif. L'etude de ce discours, apprehende a travers les biographies du chanteur, demontre que s'est elaboree, sur le modele de la saintete, la figure fondatrice de la rock star. Le recit de la vie du chanteur, a l'instar du recit mythique oral des societes traditionnelles, est egalement une histoire du sacre, cosmogonique, etiologique et exemplaire. Hautement significatif, il diffuse une image idealisee d'elvis et de la societe americaine, eriges en modeles. Ce recit a contribue a fonder symboliquement une communaute de fans, soudee par le partage d'une memoire se referant a une tradition, d'un savoir, d'un croire, d'une certaine conception du monde, d'une ethique definissant valeurs et normes de comportements, qui se transmettent de generation en generation et permettent l'affiliation des nouveaux venus. Tout un ensemble de rites, de pratiques cultuelles s'est developpe et institue, sous l'egide de l'entreprise presley, chargee de la gestion de l'image et du nom d'elvis, dont l'objectif est notamment de developper le culte du chanteur. Source de profits financiers pour l'entreprise, ce culte permet aux fans d'integrer une communaute de pairs et d'acquerir une identite individuelle et sociale.

Abstract:
In the novel Elvis Plays Texas, which is my Thesis project to meet the requirements for a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing/Fiction, a little town in far, far West Texas and its people are having a very difficult time and facing what promises to be a bleak future—a long, long drought has exhausted their water supply, oil has peaked and turned down, “fracking” threatens their way of life, friends and family and neighbors are loading up and leaving town. Then, Elvis Presley shows up. It’s the 40th anniversary of the day he died, August 16, 1977, and he, spiritually though appearing in every way to be flesh and blood, is visiting those who’ve continued believing in him and to whom he had been particularly important during their younger lives. My own long history in that part of the country has played its considerable role in informing the setting, the tone, the atmosphere. These are the kinds of characters—strange birds all—I grew up with. The country is the southwestern desert, hot, dry, empty, big sky—the kind of neighborhood that lends itself to oddities like Elvis throwing a benefit concert to help them out of the economic ditch.

Abstract Kent Klang: Ett omusikaliskt genombrott: Mottagandet av Elvis Presley i svensk press under rockmusikens etableringsfas 1956-1958. Uppsala Universitet: Institutionen för musikvetenskap, uppsats för 60p. 2007 När Elvis Presley gjorde sitt stora genombrott i USA i mitten på 1950-talet kom han att angripas hårt i bland annat amerikansk press. Upprördheten hade sin grund i Elvis sexuellt utmanande kroppsrörelser och rhythm and blues betonade musik. De här artistiska stildragen avslöjade också Elvis influenser från den svarta kulturen i ett USA som vid tiden var präglat av rasism och segregation. Man beskyllde även Elvis och rockmusiken för att vara upphov till företeelser som moraliskt förfall, irreligiositet och ungdomsbrottslighet. Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att visa hur svensk press skrev och förhöll sig till Elvis Presley mot bakgrund av de starka reaktionerna som förekom i USA och amerikansk press. I undersökningen framgår att den svenska pressen visade upp ett mer lättsamt och oladdat förhållande gentemot Elvis Presley och hans utmanande stil, utan tendenser till beskyllningar liknande de i den amerikanska pressen. Uppsatsen visar därmed hur de dokumenterat skilda förutsättningarna i det svenska samhället på 1950-talet hade en avgörande inverkan på hur man i svensk press kom att mottaga och uppleva Elvis Presley.

Abstract:
Originality is an important social and cultural value. In pop music its influence is comprehensive: it shapes the economics of an industry through copyright law, and the temperament of musical culture through its place as keystone of the prevailing Romantic tradition. The concept extends beyond issues of artistic and technical innovation: a point of origin is fundamental to the stories we tell about pop. What these stories tell us about ourselves and the way we use music, though, may be more complex than the orthodoxy allows; while the moderns from Eliot and Frye through Barthes and Foucault have sliced and diced originality in text, its interrogation in popular music is overdue. This study seeks to address the social and cultural context, the implications for individual identity and the issues of creative intention, status, popularity and profitability that come into play at those moments when the cultural honours of “originality” are conferred. Working from archival and textual resources, the research explores the entry of “black music” into pop culture with the Fisk University Jubilee Singers, who can be seen both as the source of several cultural streams which remain influential in popular music, and as the source of a popular mythology which has become detached from historical fact. It then proceeds to three case studies. The problem of what it means to start something new is developed in the story of Elvis Presley and the foundation myth of rock & roll. The professional use of originality is interrogated in the work of the Beatles, a foursome with a strong claim to be the greatest plagiarists, if not the greatest originators in pop. And the artistic idea of originality and its contingencies are addressed through the case of Lou Reed and the changing status of his album Metal Machine Music. A final chapter assesses the conclusions which can be made from these explorations, and the implications for future research.

Abstract:
Dissertação mest., Literatura, Universidade do Algarve, 2008
Pretende esta dissertação analisar a carreira cinematográfica de Elvis Presley, no contexto social e cultural da sua produção. Para esse efeito levei a cabo uma leitura histórica do papel desempenhado pelo género musical no sistema de produção de Hollywood e estabeleci um estudo comparativo entre os filmes do cantor e a tradição do cinema musical americano. Esta análise histórica permitiu concluir que os filmes protagonizados por Presley constituíram uma tentativa de os estúdios adaptarem a fórmula da comédia musical clássica de Hollywood ao gosto de uma nova geração de espectadores que surgiu nos anos 50. Foi igualmente possível perceber como os filmes do cantor reflectem directa ou indirectamente as alterações ocorridas em Hollywood entre meados dos anos 50 e finais dos anos 60 do século XX. Procurei igualmente reflectir sobre a importância destas películas enquanto produtos da cultura de massas.

Abstract:
Chapter 1 offers a case study that illuminates how norms of studio-era film production came to be negotiated with the multimedia context of the 1950s and early 1960s. In exploring the production of “Elvis movies” from 1956 to 1961, this chapter examines how Hollywood transformed Presley the rock ’n’ roll star into a singular screen attraction. Producer Hal Wallis, a veteran of the studio era, sought a balance between the cyclical, generic structure of the former star system with the new opportunities for cross-platform promotion portended by the media landscape of the 1950s. Presley’s rebel-oriented 1950s films put on display what modern media fame meant in the second half of the 1950s and suggest a hierarchical relationship between television and film. Subsequently, Presley’s 1960s work enacted an assembly-line integration of feature film and LP record production, demonstrating how Wallis’s star-making formula during the studio era translated to a cross-platform context. In this way, Hollywood adapted to the “electronic age” of the 1950s while maintaining strict control over the output of a star’s labor, reconfiguring the power structures of the star system by aligning media industries into the synchronous production of a multimedia star image.

Abstract:
Abstract There has been a steadily increasing global market for Additively Manufactured (AM) products, with a growth forecast of USD 23.75 billion by 2027. Of the various industrial sectors applying AM, the automotive/motor vehicles market takes up approximately 18% share. Saying AM is being widely used in the automotive sector with rapidly growing application avenues is not an overstatement. One such section of the automotive industry is the classic cars. Classic cars are 20 years or more older cars no longer in regular production, preserved and restored for their historical value. Classic cars face a huge problem of spare parts. The non-availability of the spare part leads to the break-down of the car, leaving them as display pieces or eventual scrapping. It is not economically viable to manufacture the spare parts in small volume due to challenges such as high cost of tooling, and indefinite storage time. Additive manufacturing offers attractive solutions to problems precisely such as these as it requires no additional tooling and can produce functional parts in small batches on-demand, provided accurate three-dimensional model data is available. This 3D model data is converted to one of the AM compatible file formats such as STL, AMF, 3MF etc. and then is processed using a Slicer Software. The slicer software converts three-dimensional (3-D) model data to two-dimensional (2-D) layer information that will be printed by the AM machine. Obtaining drawings or 3-D model information for classic car parts is a daunting challenge in itself, often deemed impossible. However, with the advances in imaging and scanning combined with computer aided design technologies, it is shown to be possible to generate the 3-D model data from even partial or broken parts. Now, producing spare parts using AM is not just feasible but has been successfully applied. Few notable examples include restoration of Elvis Presley’s BMW 507, originally released in 1957, which took two years to complete, Jaguar’s XK120 SE restored in 2017, 2019 restorations of Volkswagens iconic 1962 minivan, Bentley’s 1929 Blowers and Bugatti’s 1926 Bugatti Baby. Not just car manufacturers, but hobbyist collectors also found success in producing spare parts for their classic cars. This paper discusses various types of additive manufacturing technologies used to manufacture classic car parts and the strategic impact after implementing them using the examples of famous restored classic cars. The discussion further includes commercialization of these technologies, challenges, material selection and availability. Additionally, the economic implications and, the future are explored.
