  • Elphinstone Newsletter 2006
    UNIVERSITY OF ABERDEEN SPRING 2006 Researching, recording, and promoting the cultural traditions of North and North-East Scotland The North Atlantic Fiddle Convention Connecting Cultures 26-30 July 2006 lans for the North Atlantic Fiddle Convention are making great progress. Venues are booked, the website is about to undergo a major facelift, Pand the guest list is first-rate. The only question is: where to start? Joining our own Paul Anderson, the NAFCo 2006 guest list boasts a world-class line up of leading musicians from the far reaches of the North Atlantic – Scotland, Ireland, England, Wales, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Canada, USA – and we’ve had interest from a group in Lithuania. Alasdair Fraser’s dynamic fiddling, engaging presence, and deep understanding of Scotland’s music has inspired listeners and learners around the world. His rich expressive playing transports people across a broad musical spectrum, ranging from haunting laments from the Gaelic tradition to classically-styled airs, up-tempo dance tunes, and improvisations based on traditional themes. At NAFCo 2006, Alasdair will be joined by vibrant young cellist, Natalie Haas, a recent Juilliard graduate and virtuoso in her own right. The duo’s teamwork reveals deep textures and powerful rhythms that drive the fiddle tunes, asserting the cello’s role at the heart of the music. Their debut duo album, Fire & Grace, was awarded the Best Album of the Year at the Scots Trad Music Awards 2004. Alasdair will be teaching workshops and featuring in performances throughout NAFCo 2006, and Natalie will join us for ‘With fire in his soul and a twinkle in his eye, Alasdair Fraser breathed life into music by the earliest masters up to the present day.

  • Highland Heartbeat
    HIGHLAND HEARTBEAT -- Centuries-old Tradition Meets Modern Music to Capture the Heart and Soul of Scotland in Song in New TV Special Premiering on PBS beginning February 28 -- Singer/actress Fiona Kennedy, a member of Scotland’s leading theatrical family and well- known in North America as the host of “Tartan TV,” leads a group of singers brought together from a country-wide audition to represent a range of musical styles. Singers Jim Malcolm, Jillian Isbister, Maureen McMullan, Daisy Chute and Darren Maclean perform at the historic Theatre Royal in Glasgow backed by the Scottish Festival Orchestra. The men wear the traditional Scottish kilt, and the women wear modern designs that riff on traditional Scottish themes. Emmy Award-winning Scottish actor Brian Cox (“The Bourne Supremacy”) reads the works of Scotland’s national bard, Robert Burns, with stunning footage of Scotland interspersed between songs. The concert was shot in high definition in August 2008. Opening with the emotive wails of the distinctive Scottish bagpipe, the music performed in HIGHLAND HEARTBEAT embodies the pride and passion of a country rich with history, offering a concert that spans genres and generations from traditional Scottish compositions like “Loch Lomond” and “Down in the Glen” to pop hits originally sung by Carly Simon, Bette Midler, and Simon and Garfunkel that infuse Scottish cultural significance to the familiar lyrics. HIGHLAND HEARTBEAT premieres nationwide beginning February 28 on PBS (check local listings). Starting with “Raise the Flag for Scotland (Lightly Swims the Swan)” and “My Heart’s in the Highlands,” HIGHLAND HEARTBEAT speaks to the spirit of Scotland with a diverse repertoire that will satisfy the nostalgia of first generation immigrants and spark a new appreciation for family culture in younger viewers.

  • Writing to Transgress: Sharing Stories, Claiming Space, and Finding Community
    Writing to Transgress: Sharing Stories, Claiming Space, and Finding Community by Emily Pohl-Weary A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Leadership, Higher and Adult Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto © Copyright by Emily Pohl-Weary 2018 ii Writing to Transgress: Sharing Stories, Claiming Space, and Finding Community Emily Pohl-Weary Doctor of Philosophy Leadership, Higher and Adult Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto 2018 Abstract My research has shown that community-based creative writing groups can be safer spaces for people who are under-represented in the English literary canon to craft and share their stories, poems, and other genres of writing. They can also put the act of cultural production into the hands of participants, redefine the notion of great literature, and provide a counterpoint to institutional learning. These groups are potential spaces for learning how to relate to one another with respect while acknowledging our own privileges, which can ultimately transform hegemonic social relations that exclude and oppress rather than connect and build support. Using iii critical arts-based inquiry and program evaluation methods, I employ a reflexive technique to investigate the benefits of a single group for youth, Toronto Street Writers (TSW), which I facilitated for six years in the neighbourhood where I grew up. TSW is positioned within a range of literacy and community writing groups across North America, transgressive and anti- oppressive theories around creative writing pedagogy are summarized, and interviews with former participants and staff of TSW are analyzed for insights into how to facilitate sustainable community-based creative writing groups that genuinely benefit members.

  • Université De Montréal Les Duels De Rap En Tant Que Forme De
    Université de Montréal Les duels de rap en tant que forme de compétition pour le statut : une perspective évolutionnaire Par Vivekan Brunschwig Département d’anthropologie Faculté des arts et sciences Mémoire présenté à la Faculté des études supérieures en vue de l’obtention du grade de Maître ès sciences en anthropologie Novembre 2016 © Vivekan Brunschwig, 2016 ii RÉSUMÉ Les duels de rap sont souvent définis dans la littérature sociologique comme étant des échanges d’insultes ou des joutes verbales improvisées. Ces définitions risquent de biaiser la compréhension du phénomène, puisque les chercheurs auront tendance à ne relever que les aspects qui vont dans le sens des définitions choisies au début de l’analyse qui, en plus, sont très réductrices et contextuelles. En adoptant une perspective évolutionnaire, il est possible d’ancrer l’analyse dans un cadre plus large, car basé sur des tendances motivationnelles universelles, pouvant servir comme un point de départ objectif à l’analyse. En ce sens les duels de rap peuvent être considérés comme des concours de compétences pour un statut conféré par le public (hypothèse de départ) où les participants tentent de surpasser leurs adversaires (hypothèse 1), tentent de conquérir le public (hypothèse 2), et reçoivent certains bénéfices en liens avec le statut grâce à leurs performances (hypothèse 3). Ces trois hypothèses évolutionnaires ont été confirmées par un examen systématique de cinq duels selon une grille d’analyse standardisée comportant 14 critères d’observations. Ces critères, regroupés en neuf prédictions, représentent les aspects variables et contextuels des duels de rap, tels que les niveaux et fréquences de dominance physique démontrés par chaque participant, d’interactions avec le public, de vers où ils se vantent et/ou rabaissent leur adversaire, de démonstrations des capacités artistiques, d’humour, et, pour le public, les niveaux d’acclamations des participants et les votes pour élire un vainqueur ou encore pour établir une hiérarchie entre les participants.
