Albuquerque is a vibrant city Albuquerque for the 63rd Annual Meeting of the Society. This year’s program is with a deep and rich history of cultural mixture and expressive practices— exciting, representing familiar area-based studies, but also broadening to include especially those of Native, Hispanic, and Anglo communities. The 2018 meeting approaches such as sound studies, ecomusicology, studies in economics and music, will highlight some of these histories and performance traditions, including those and in gender and sexuality and music. As the Program Committee put the program together, we were excited by how many panels cut across more traditional of Navajo or Diné singing, música nuevomexicana, honky tonk music of the approaches and familiar areas studied and allowed us to put research from a wide Southwest, and much more. range of geographic regions into conversation.

BRAND This article initiates a series in which the writer will attempt to summarize the scattered and commonly contradictory material on the present ethnic and linguistic constituency of a number of Latin Ameri- can countries. It represents some personal investigations in the field and an examination of much of the pertinent literature. Chile has been a sovereign state since the War of Independence 1810-26. This state was founded upon a nuclear area west of the Andean crest and essentially between 240 and 460 South Latitude. Through the War of the Pacific with Bolivia and Perui in 1879-1883 and peaceful agreements with Argentina, Chile acquired her present extention from Arica to Tierra del Fuego. These northern and south- ern acquisitions added little to her population but introduced numerous small ethnic and linguistic groups. Chile has taken national censuses in 1835, 1843, 1854, 1865, 1875, 1885, 1895, 1907, 1920, 1930, and the most recent one in November of 1940.

  • Emergence of Ethnochoreology Internationally: the Janković Sisters, Maud Karpeles, and Gertrude Kurath
    Elsie Ivancich Dunin Emergence of Ethnochoreology... DOI: 10.2298/MUZ1417197D UDK: 394.3:793.3 39:929 Јанковић Љ. 39:929 Јанковић Д. Emergence of Ethnochoreology Internationally: The Janković sisters, Maud Karpeles, and Gertrude Kurath Elsie Ivancich Dunin1 University of California (Los Angeles) Abstract A fifty-year (1962–2012) period has been shown as a history of ethnochoreology supported by living memories of members of the International Council for Traditional Music (ICTM) Study Group on Ethnochoreology. Recently uncovered and juxtapositioned correspondence of three predecessors within earlier years of the International Folk Music Council (IFMC) broadens the history. This article reveals the emergence of ethnochoreology during the 1950s with publications of the two Janković sisters in Serbia with that of Gertrude Kurath in the United States, alongside correspondence with Maud Karpeles, the unheralded founder of the IFMC. Keywords ethnochoreology, Janković sisters, Gertrude Kurath, Maud Karpeles, IFMC (International Folk Music Council) Introduction The publications of Ljubica and Danica S. Janković2 overlap contemporaneously with dance research writings of Gertrude Prokosch Kurath,3 who in the United States (U.S.) is honored as a pioneer of ethnochoreology (also known as dance ethnology). Although never meeting, the Janković sisters and Kurath are linked through the International Folk Music Council (IFMC) launched by Maud Karpeles in 1947. Her vision of an international commission of dance scholars, such as Janković and Kurath, is evidenced through correspondence in the IFMC/ICTM archives located in the National Library of Australia. Other communications linking Janković and Kurath with folklorists, ethnomusicologists, and anthropologists are found in the Cecil Sharp House with the Vaughan Williams Memorial Library in London and various university-based archives in the United States, such as the Cross-Cultural Dance Resources at Arizona State University, Lilly Library at the University of Indiana in Bloomington, and more.

Transborder Ethnic Kin (TEK) Groups Atlas. Online: https: //icr.ethz.ch/data/epr/tek/. Accessed: [Date]. ∗Corresponding author. Email: [email protected]. Description The Transborder Ethnic Kin (TEK) groups Atlas provides a brief description of all ethnic kin groups that live spread across two or more states. Each group comment indicates the name of the group, lists the countries where the group is, or was, politically relevant at some point in time since 1946, and describes the group's common identifier. Transborder ethnic kin groups are ethnic groups that have transnational connections across at least two states, because their settlement area is split by an international border. The TEK dataset identifies trans-border ethnic groups based on a matching of all ethnic groups included in the EPR dataset (Cederman, Wimmer, and Min 2010; Vogt et al. 2015). The EPR-TEK Dataset constitutes a research-ready version of all TEK groups covering 1946 until 2021 in table format (Vogt et al. 2015). It can be downloaded at: https://icr.ethz.ch/data/epr/tek/.

First, I must recognize the members of my committee, beginning with my advisor and dissertation chair Jonathan Ritter. Throughout my time at UCR, Jonathan has been unfailingly supportive and encouraging of both my academic work and my overall development as a professional. A scholar who is always up to date on the latest academic trends and who has an incredible breadth of knowledge, Jonathan has been wonderful at suggesting new angles or approaches to my work. Deborah Wong similarly has always provided thoughtful and trenchant critiques that have pushed me to think more critically in my research. Leonora Saavedra, with whom I worked many quarters as a Teaching Assistant, has taught me both about being a scholar and a professor.

    OTHERNESS AND BELONGING IN “DEMOCRATIC EMPIRES”: THE SYRIAN DIASPORA AND TRANSATLANTIC DISCOURSES OF IDENTITY, 1890s-1930s by BRYAN A. GARRETT DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Texas at Arlington August, 2016 Supervising Committee: Kenyon Zimmer, Supervising Professor Sarah Rose Robert B. Fairbanks Copyright © by Bryan A. Garrett 2016 All Rights Reserved ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS August 8, 2016 Though writing can be a lonely process, this dissertation represents a collaborative effort. There are many I would like to thank for their contribution to this work. I am grateful to my dissertation advisor, Kenyon Zimmer, who tirelessly scoured my work in its most disjointed state and provided fresh eyes when mine faltered. He has helped to make the dissertation worth writing, and despite my best efforts, hopefully easier to read. Students of all levels, but especially doctoral candidates at the University of Texas at Arlington, should count themselves fortunate to have Kenyon as their advocate and advisor. I would also like to thank the other members of the dissertation committee, Sarah Rose and Robert Fairbanks, for their advice in providing me new avenues for exploration and their suggestions for improving the document as a whole. I am indebted to Mustaq Ahmad and the Festival of Ideas Global Research Institute for providing the support necessary to undertake research at numerous archives on multiple continents. Any researcher knows the tremendous expense in time and money required for just one trip, but undertaking a number of them can only be done with the support of generous sponsors who share in the pursuit to understand and appreciate the past more fully.
