For over 300 years, Danube Swabians had maintained their German dialect and culture in Hungary and Yugoslavia. The events after WWII, including expulsion from their homes and ethnic persecution, radically destabilized this minority’s conception of Heimat. Written specifically for the Danube Swabians in Milwaukee, the Heimatklänge newsletters　provide insight into the challenges and successes of a Catholic immigrant community in America. This study seeks to define Structured Grounded Theory, which was informed by Charmaz Constructivist Grounded Theory (2006). The method examined parish newsletters for a German immigrant community and developed a Model of Holistic Integration, which identifies the parishioners’ past trauma and immigrant challenges and seeks innovative strategies to reconcile the two.

The aim of my work was to show the performative nature of the stage performances of the musical group Rammstein. Due to their amazing nature, the group's shows can be treated as artistic performances. In my dissertation, I will determine whether there is an increased impact on the viewer by artistic means, throwing them out of the passive attitude of the observer and encouraging them to take action within the spectacle in real time. This interaction is possible and closely related to the acts of communication that can be transmitted through a specific communication channel or, as in the case of stage implementation, connect them with each other. So far, there has been no publication that deals with such an analysis of Rammstein’s concerts.
