    Nar. umjet. 43/1, 2006, pp. 203-219, R. Senjković, Imagined Dalmatia: Locality in the Global... Preliminary communication Received: 10th March 2006 Accepted: 4th April 2006 UDK 39:32.019.5:004.738.5(497.5-3 Dalmacija) REANA SENJKOVIĆ Institute of Ethnology and Folklore Research, Zagreb IMAGINED DALMATIA: LOCALITY IN THE GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE The Internet representations of local Dalmatian identity are considered in this article. They differ primarily in the tourism-motivated repre- sentation of the Dalmatian coastal towns and the representations on the Web that are shaped by the largely emigrated local communities from the Dalmatian hinterland. Keywords: identity, Internet, Dalmatia As Stuart Hall once observed, identity is not "what (we) get up in the morning and feel like being". Rather, he explained, it is something that is always and constantly in a state of decomposition and coming together, a dynamic system of relations and conceptions.1 Still, "until recently, whatever the force of social change, a case could be made that social life was largely inertial, that traditions provided a relatively finite set of 'possible lives', and that fantasy and imagination were residual practices, confined to special persons or domains, restricted to special moments or places‘ (Appadurai 1991:198). However, as early as during the mid-1980s, anthropologists were drawing attention to the transnational political, economic and cultural forces which participate in the formation of local contexts, making cultures less "solid" (Marcus and Fischer 1986; Clifford

'From Silent Wounds to Narrated Words': Calypso Storytelling in Lawrence Scott's Night Calypso Cover Page Acknowledgments This article is excerpted from a dissertation entitled "Sound Writing: Music and Memory in the Contemporary Novel" which uses the metaphor of the phonograph to examine the ways that four contemporary Caribbean novels interrogate and rethink Caribbean literary aesthetics and identity through music, and the range of ways that music informs novelistic narration. As such, I would like to thank the members of dissertation committee, Faith Smith and Ulka Anjaria of Brandeis University, and Donette Francis of SUNY Binghamton, for their rigorous feedback at the various stages of writing this piece. I am also indebted to the Caribbean Studies Association and the Northeast Modern Language Association for allowing me a forum to present my early research and to dialogue with experts in the field.

  • Cities, Autonomy, and Decentralization in Japan
    Cities, Autonomy, and Decentralization in Japan Japan is known as a country in which a potent central power reigns over a compliant hierarchy and, for planning, this has meant strong centralized government control. Nevertheless, examples of autonomy have always existed in the politics, society, and economy of Japan and thrive today in various forms, particularly within urban areas. Following the growth and subsequent collapse of the bubble economy in the early 1990s, and in response to globalization, new trends toward local autonomy and political and economic decentralization are emerging that must be evaluated in the context of Japan’s larger political and socioeconomic setting as it becomes increasingly integrated into the global system. Cities, Autonomy, and Decentralization in Japan addresses these new initia- tives, providing a cogent compilation of case studies focusing on the past, present, and future of decentralization in Japan. These include small-scale developments in fields such as citizen participation machizukuri( ), urban form and architecture, disaster prevention, and conservation of monuments. The book offers the first in-depth analysis of this development outside Japan, approaching the subject from a unique urban studies/planning perspective as opposed to the more common political science method. With contributions from a leading group of international scholars on Japanese urban planning, Cities, Autonomy, and Decentralization in Japan provides a valuable new addition to the current English-language literature.

Weiss i This play is loosely based on an historical event, the Munich Conference of September 1938, but is a work of fiction. The dialogue has been invented. Furthermore, the persons and characters portrayed bear absolutely no resemblance whatever to the persons who were actually involved in the events described in this play. ii Synopsis of NEVILLE AND ADOLF IN MUNICH – A ONE ACT MUSICAL EVENT In September 1938, an angry and surly British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain meets Adolf Hitler in Munich, Germany, to discuss Hitler’s demand for the Sudetenland. Pandemonium ensues as Chamberlain confronts an evil dictator. iii CAST OF CHARACTERS NEVILLE CHAMBERLAIN – Prime Minister of Great Britain. JOACHIM VON RIBBENTROP – Foreign Minister of Germany. ADOLF HITLER – Fuhrer of Germany. EVA BRAUN – Hitler’s mistress. HERMAN GOERING – Reichmarshall of Germany. CHAMBERLAIN’S ENTOURAGE. THE TIME: September, 1938 This is a One-Act play: SCENE ONE – Heathrow Airport, London SCENE TWO – Munich Airport, Germany SCENE THREE – Adolf Hitler’s office, Munich, Germany 1 SCENE ONE At center stage is a billboard-size photograph of a smiling British Prime Minister, Neville Chamberlain, standing at a microphone with a piece of paper in his hand. Otherwise, the stage is empty. VOICE (offstage, bombastic) The time: September, 1938. The place: London’s Heathrow Airport. British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain has just returned from Munich, Germany, and, sporting a broad smile on his face and clutching a paper he is waving in his hand, triumphantly declares that he has reached an agreement with Adolf Hitler over Czechoslovakia and that war has been averted.
