  • Song, State, Sawa Music and Political Radio Between the US and Syria
    Song, State, Sawa Music and Political Radio between the US and Syria Beau Bothwell Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 © 2013 Beau Bothwell All rights reserved ABSTRACT Song, State, Sawa: Music and Political Radio between the US and Syria Beau Bothwell This dissertation is a study of popular music and state-controlled radio broadcasting in the Arabic-speaking world, focusing on Syria and the Syrian radioscape, and a set of American stations named Radio Sawa. I examine American and Syrian politically directed broadcasts as multi-faceted objects around which broadcasters and listeners often differ not only in goals, operating assumptions, and political beliefs, but also in how they fundamentally conceptualize the practice of listening to the radio. Beginning with the history of international broadcasting in the Middle East, I analyze the institutional theories under which music is employed as a tool of American and Syrian policy, the imagined youths to whom the musical messages are addressed, and the actual sonic content tasked with political persuasion. At the reception side of the broadcaster-listener interaction, this dissertation addresses the auditory practices, histories of radio, and theories of music through which listeners in the sonic environment of Damascus, Syria create locally relevant meaning out of music and radio. Drawing on theories of listening and communication developed in historical musicology and ethnomusicology, science and technology studies, and recent transnational ethnographic and media studies, as well as on theories of listening developed in the Arabic public discourse about popular music, my dissertation outlines the intersection of the hypothetical listeners defined by the US and Syrian governments in their efforts to use music for political ends, and the actual people who turn on the radio to hear the music.

With the objective of exploring the role that Fairouz plays in the lives of the Arab diaspora, this project examines possible identity constructions and concepts of belonging, investigating how Fairouz factors in diasporic space and how her music offers opportunities to navigate individual and social positions in such space. Through an ethnographic study, focusing on in-depth interviews, narratives of 59 members of the Arab diaspora living in Doha, Qatar and London, England were heard, understood and categorised thematically, highlighting how music can elucidate and situate experiences of migration, positioning listeners on a fluctuating continuum, which moves beyond standard private and public lines of domesticity, nationalism and religion.

  • Popular Culture and Nationalism in Lebanon
    Herstone-FM.qxd 6/8/07 12:19 PM Page i POPULAR CULTURE AND NATIONALISM IN LEBANON Based on an award-winning thesis, Popular Culture and Nationalism in Lebanon is a pioneering study of musical theater and popular culture and its relation to the production of identity in Lebanon in the second half of the twentieth century. In the aftermath of the departure of the French from Lebanon and the civil violence of 1958, the Rahbani Brothers (Asi and Mansour) staged a series of folkloric musical-theatrical extravaganzas at the annual Baalbeck Festival which highlighted the talents of Asi’s wife, the Lebanese diva Fairouz, arguably the most famous living Arab singer. The inclusion of these folkloric vignettes into the Festival’s otherwise European-dominated cultural agenda created a powerful nation-building combination of what Partha Chatterjee calls the “appropriation of the popular” and the “classicization of tradition.” This musical-theatrical movement coincided with the confluence of increasing internal and external migration in Lebanon, as well as with the rapid development of mass-media technology, of which the Baalbeck Festival can be seen as an extension. Employing theories of nationalism, modernity, globalism, and locality, the book shows that these factors combined to give the project a potent, if not always constructive, identity-forming power. Small wonder then that with the start of the civil war in 1975 would come the collapse of this project. In the ashes of these events Ziad Rahbani, the son of Fairouz and Asi, began to author, compose, and star in his own series of exceedingly popular musical plays.

  • Quadrívium Revista Digital De Musicologia 10 (2019)
    QUADRÍVIUM REVISTA DIGITAL DE MUSICOLOGIA 10 (2019) The Arabic music migrated to the West Youssef Tannous Holy Spirit University of Kaslik (Lebanon) RESUM Tota música té característiques segons la civilització a la qual pertany i segons l’evolució del seu llenguatge musical i l’aculturació amb la música d’altres cultures. La música àrab té les seues pròpies característiques, especialment en l’àmbit melòdic, amb dotzenes de maqām- s, i en l’àmbit rítmic, amb les seues cent combinacions rítmiques, que defineix la seua identitat. En obrir-se a la música occidental des del segle XIX, va prendre elements d’aquesta música, com l’harmonia, la composició orquestral i les formes musicals. Per a presentar la seua música en l’estil occidental, alguns músics àrabs sacrificaren els maqām-s atemperats per a adequar-los al sistema musical temperat de la música occidental. Alguns ho consideren un enriquiment per a la música àrab; altres ho consideren una pèrdua de la identitat. Podria aquesta música occidentalitzada perdre la seua identitat? Podria servir a la música àrab tant com a la música occidental? Paraules Clau: Música; àrab; occidental; escala; mode; harmonització; temperament; polifonia; orquestració; arranjament RESUMEN Toda música tiene características según la civilización a la que pertenece y según la evolución de su lenguaje musical y su aculturación con la música de otras civilizaciones. La música árabe tiene sus propias características, especialmente a nivel melódico, con sus docenas de maqām-s, y a nivel rítmico, con sus cien combinaciones rítmicas, que definen su identidad. Al abrirse a la música occidental desde el siglo XIX, tomó prestados elementos de esta música, como la armonía, la composición orquestal y las formas musicales.
