Bob Dylan and religion
No full textThis article, which is located within the field of research on religion and popular culture, is a discussion of the relations of one particular rock artist, Bob Dylan, to religion. Religion can be seen as a recurring topic in Dylan’s work—particularly during a period at the end of the 1970s and beginning of the 1980s, often referred to as his ‘Christian era’—and also in the discourses around him. This article explores how the topic of religion appears in discourses around Bob Dylan. In this article one particular aspect of the connection between religion and popular culture is looked at: the construction of certain artists or stars as religious figures, and more specifically Bob Dylan as a case. The author does not try to discover whether Dylan is religious or not; or which religion he possibly adheres to. Rather, the author looks at how rock artists and in this case Bob Dylan are ‘constructed’ as religious figures

Dylan to English Dictionary
No full textDylan to English Dictionary, by A.J. Weberman. New York, 2005.
This curious resource would seem, at first glance, to be a basic reference work treating Dylan\u27s lyrics to some form of translation. One only needs to read the very first paragraph of this work to learn that its author was deeply obsessed with Dylan, and through various experiences on LSD came to believe he could interpret hidden meaning in all of Dylan\u27s lyrics. He also credits himself for coining the term Dylanology.https://digitalcommons.lasalle.edu/dylan_academic_interpretations/1001/thumbnail.jp

The ‘true crime’ obsession- in need of a new lens?
No full textIncreasingly, ‘true crime’ has been an area of interest for many. Those producing information on crime include professionals in criminology, law, and forensic psychology, alongside amateur content creators. Members of the public consume both professionally and non-professionally produced content, primarily accessible online or via podcasts or streaming services.
There are multiple negative effects of the explosion of true crime content, including positive portrayals of perpetrators online, whose ‘fans’ are often girls and young women whose views of healthy relationships can be negatively warped, and who may be desensitised to the reality of serious crime by viewing it as entertainment, ignoring its real and devastating effects. Further, those who are exposed to content glorifying perpetrators and crime itself can be encouraged to participate in violent crime. These issues will be illuminated by case studies of recent criminal activity which has attracted significant media attention.
This paper will also consider the different forms of true crime media, including the proliferation of unreliable ‘journalism’. The paper will focus on both the online sphere and that of more mainstream media such as Netflix and its documentaries, some of which present falsehoods as facts, and how this contributes to a warped lens through which serious crime is viewed, including its presentation by the institutional press, and the difficulties for police in conducting investigations.
The paper concludes by offering an assessment of some possible methods of tackling the associated harms, including the role of legislation and regulation of content, education for young people to enable them critique both content itself and the possible negative effects of true crime, and a shift in culture away from true crime as entertainment
