Iowa professor revives Elvis
University course will explore his music, movies and influences
The Associated Press
IOWA CITY, Iowa — Elvis lives! At least in Peter Nazareth's classroom.
Nazareth, University of Iowa professor of English and African-American world studies, is bringing the lateking of rock 'n' roll to campus in a three-credit course, American Popular Arts: Elvis as Anthropology.
"It's like Elvis is a book and you open Elvis and you find
Harry Ring. Cling Nash. Nat King Cole. And I'm going to
show that he was Elvis."
Beginning next week, 50 students will learn about Presley, his music, his movies and his influence on U.S. and international culture. Presley, who died in 1977, would have been 57 last week.
"This is not a fivolous course by any means. Everything starts somewhere. My attitude is that there's always a
beginning," said Nazareth, who has been at the university since 1973.
since 1978.
An unabashed Elvis fan, the Ugandan-born Nazareth said he could bring a different perspective to Presley's legacy.
The course description said, "The way he (Nazareth) and millions of other people saw Elvis in the '50s and '60s was through the movies. It is hoped to show that although it is the fashion for critics to dismiss Elvis movies, in fact Elvis was versatile and made some good movies."
Nazareth has compiled an extensive reading list, including Mark Childress "Tender," Elaine Dundy's *Elvis and Gladys*, two books by Ishmael Reed and Robert F. Sayre's "Autobiography and the Making of America."
