Based on the materials in the collection, I might be able to tell narratives regarding only the bands that were considered popular and well known. As I looked through the entire collection guide, especially the series one that contains books and DVDs, I saw a trend of which rock bands were mentioned frequently. The only specific bands I saw mentioned were Guns \u2018N Roses and KISS. Guns \u2018N Roses and KISS are considered some of the most popular rock bands of all time. \u00a0However, as I realized this, maybe a central reason attributing to their popularity was the ubiquity of their publicity methods.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1312\" src=\"http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f17\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/10\/Screen-Shot-2017-10-16-at-12.37.08-PM-300x35.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"35\" srcset=\"http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f17\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/10\/Screen-Shot-2017-10-16-at-12.37.08-PM-300x35.png 300w, http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f17\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/10\/Screen-Shot-2017-10-16-at-12.37.08-PM.png 484w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1313\" src=\"http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f17\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/10\/Screen-Shot-2017-10-16-at-12.37.21-PM-300x37.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"37\" srcset=\"http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f17\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/10\/Screen-Shot-2017-10-16-at-12.37.21-PM-300x37.png 300w, http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f17\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/10\/Screen-Shot-2017-10-16-at-12.37.21-PM.png 489w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1314\" src=\"http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f17\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/10\/Screen-Shot-2017-10-16-at-12.37.31-PM-300x44.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"44\" srcset=\"http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f17\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/10\/Screen-Shot-2017-10-16-at-12.37.31-PM-300x44.png 300w, http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f17\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/10\/Screen-Shot-2017-10-16-at-12.37.31-PM.png 475w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>comment: one can see the repetition of the same popular rock bands mentioned.<\/p>\n<p>Another trend I saw in the collection was the connection between rock music and things such as \u201cdevil worship,\u201d \u201cSatanism,\u201d and \u201ccult.\u201d I seldom, if not at all, saw anything positive be related to rock music in this archive. Therefore, from this, I could probably be able to tell a narrative connecting heavy metal and rock music to things such as devil worship. Ultimately, I saw an extremely apparent trend in the archives within this collection that would cause anything optimistic regarding all different types of heavy metal bands to be missing from my narrative if I based it entirely on records in this collection.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1315\" src=\"http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f17\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/10\/Screen-Shot-2017-10-16-at-12.38.01-PM-300x25.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"25\" srcset=\"http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f17\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/10\/Screen-Shot-2017-10-16-at-12.38.01-PM-300x25.png 300w, http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f17\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/10\/Screen-Shot-2017-10-16-at-12.38.01-PM.png 491w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1316\" src=\"http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f17\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/10\/Screen-Shot-2017-10-16-at-12.38.04-PM-300x30.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"30\" srcset=\"http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f17\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/10\/Screen-Shot-2017-10-16-at-12.38.04-PM-300x30.png 300w, http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f17\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/10\/Screen-Shot-2017-10-16-at-12.38.04-PM.png 488w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>comment: I found many sources relating rock music to satanism in the collection.<\/p>\n<p>Other sources I would need to find in order to address these \u201cgaps\u201d in the archive could be sources that are more broad. For example, I would like to see memorabilia or books about heavy metal bands that were not as popular. I would like to see content on heavy metal bands that were not correlated to Satanism or hell. Lastly, I would like to see how different countries reacted to this heavy metal. I was under the impression that countries in Europe had a different opinion about rock bands and actually embraced metal. Overall through this archival collection, I can see how history can be told solely from those with power and be one-sided as told by Michel-Rolph Trouillot in his book<em> Silencing the Past: Power and the Production of History. <\/em>I learned that silence occurs in the making of sources, archives, narratives, and ultimately, in the making of history. The making of history is all about power because according to Trouillot, power relations have a way to distort understandings of the world so deeply that we can watch things happen in front of us but not understand what is happening. This is what causes history to be one-sided and I can definitely see this notion in the Collection of Heavy Metal Music Material from 1964-2016.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I viewed the Collection of Heavy Metal Music Material from 1964-2016.
