Acknowledgements I would like to thank a number of people for the support that they have given me throughout my doctoral studies, and for the contributions that they have made to this thesis. Firstly, I would like to thank all of the Algerian friends that I have made whilst conducting this research, and whose stories appear throughout the following pages. I have been shown incredible hospitality, and the large quantities of strong black coffee and Algerian cuisine that I have been lucky enough to consume have undoubtedly been a contributing factor to the completion of my work. The time that my Algerian friends have made for me, and their patience in speaking to me about music, can never be fully repaid, but I am eternally grateful to them all. In particular I would like to thank Tewfik Ouagueni and Rachida Lamri, who are not only fantastic musicians, but have been incredibly supportive of my research. I have been very fortunate to see them both perform on a number of occasions, and they have opened my ears to many new musics and musicians. I would like to thank my many friends at Goldsmiths, University of London. It was there that I first encountered the strange but wonderful world of ethnomusicology, and without the support of the academic staff that taught me during my Masters degree, I would never have been prepared for the exciting (but arduous) task of undertaking doctoral research. In particular I am grateful to Dr Barley Norton and Professor John Baily for their on-going support and interest in my work and my career. They have been both fantastic teachers and inspiring colleagues. I would also like to thank the many staff members that I have worked with in various offices throughout Goldsmiths during my studies. They have been extremely supportive and understanding when I have disappeared to the library during lunchtimes, or have had to turn down a trip to the pub after work in order to focus on my research. I would like to thank City University London and the AHRC for the support they have given me during my doctoral studies, and for providing me with the funding that has enabled me to complete my research.

    Tuareg Music and Capitalist Reckonings in Niger a Dissertation Submitted

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Rhythms of Value: Tuareg Music and Capitalist Reckonings in Niger A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnomusicology by Eric James Schmidt 2018 © Copyright by Eric James Schmidt 2018 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Rhythms of Value: Tuareg Music and Capitalist Reckonings in Niger by Eric James Schmidt Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnomusicology University of California, Los Angeles, 2018 Professor Timothy D. Taylor, Chair This dissertation examines how Tuareg people in Niger use music to reckon with their increasing but incomplete entanglement in global neoliberal capitalism. I argue that a variety of social actors—Tuareg musicians, fans, festival organizers, and government officials, as well as music producers from Europe and North America—have come to regard Tuareg music as a resource by which to realize economic, political, and other social ambitions. Such treatment of culture-as-resource is intimately linked to the global expansion of neoliberal capitalism, which has led individual and collective subjects around the world to take on a more entrepreneurial nature by exploiting representations of their identities for a variety of ends. While Tuareg collective identity has strongly been tied to an economy of pastoralism and caravan trade, the contemporary moment demands a reimagining of what it means to be, and to survive as, Tuareg. Since the 1970s, cycles of drought, entrenched poverty, and periodic conflicts have pushed more and more Tuaregs to pursue wage labor in cities across northwestern Africa or to work as trans- ii Saharan smugglers; meanwhile, tourism expanded from the 1980s into one of the region’s biggest industries by drawing on pastoralist skills while capitalizing on strategic essentialisms of Tuareg culture and identity.

Being no longer perceived as ahwash (a folk dance in Sous, Morocco). It aims at something amateurish associated with ‘primitive’ documenting the way ahwash ntfrkhin, (girls’ cultures, folklore has come to stand a ahwash)articulates anempowering and often genuineincarnation of the thoughts, attitudes, values, challenging discourse via performance and lyrics. and beliefs of specific communities (Propp 1984: 38). Though there are many folkloric performances in Many researchers have depicted folklore as Sous, ahwash ntfrkhin stands as the epitome of all the gender-biased (Radner and Lanser 1987, Kowawole dances since it grants women the opportunity to enjoy 1998, Kousaleos 1999,Sadiqi 2003, Ennaji 2008, autonomy and freedom of expression and experience.

And when accorded some consideration, it express freely and outwardly a particular feminine only fits their prevalent image as evils, victims, and world view. Yet, freedom of experience refers to the failures or their traditional role as docile mothers and fact that females experience themselves as active submissive housewives.

    La Mort Du Raï ? Sans Blague ? Il Est Trop Heureux D'épouser Les Formes

    La mort du Raï ? Sans blague ? Il est trop heureux d'épouser les formes nouvelles, comme il l'a fait avec la funk, le chaâbi égyptien ou la musique de Bollywood tout en plongeant ses racines si profond dans la croûte terrestre oranaise, fécondée par les bédouins qui trafiquent du son de l'Ethiopie au Mali, par les réfugiés d'Al-Andalus dont les écoles de Nouba rayonnent toujours, la poésie des chioukh, le phaser des gasbas. Sofiane Saidi est un rescapé de la vague World Music des années 90. Ou plutôt un vainqueur comme on dit pour les navigateurs, un gars qui malgré les tempêtes et les escroqueries de l'armateur qui a menti sur la qualité du bois utilisé pour la coque du bateau, continue la traversée et arrive à bon port. Il vient du fief des frères Zergui qu'il trace de mariage en mariage, le nez au vent de Sidi Bel Abbes pour savoir où ça joue, en se rapprochant chaque soir du podium pour écouter mieux et finalement prendre le micro. A 15 ans, il chante dans les clubs mythiques d'Oran : les Andalouses, le Dauphin, où se produisent les stars Benchenet, Hasni, Fethi, Marsaoui. Fuyant le FIS et la terreur en Algérie, Sofiane a 17 ans quand il arrive à Paris. Après 2 ans de galère, sans chanter, sans musique, il retrouve le milieu raï des cabarets. C'est le même qu'en Algérie : prostituées, musiciens, dealers, fêtards, travestis, escrocs, en plus dangereux, en moins naïf. C'est aussi la diaspora intellectuelle et artistique qui se retrouve en France pendant qu'en Algérie, on tue Cheb Hasni, Rachid Baba Ahmed, Cheikh Zouaoui.

    Music and Dance of the Middle East

    Music and Dance 1 Cultures of the Middle East Midterm paper: Class of Professor Abdelrahim Salih Music and Dance of the Middle East Music transcends language. It can put forth emotions of deep sorrow or ecstatic joy whether the language of the song is in Chinese, English, French or Arabic. With music comes dance. Dance is shaped by the music, as it is the dancer‟s duty to display the emotions of the music; dance is as diverse as the music itself is. Middle Eastern music is a language of its own; it is extraordinarily different from Western music and was shaped by its own great theoreticians of music. The instruments of the Middle East are exotic looking, though they are the ancestors of many Western instruments. The dances of the Middle East vary – there are feminine dances and masculine dances and dances that everyone joins. In the Middle East, music and dance cannot be put under one category because of the extreme variations throughout the region itself. From the beautiful melodies of Debussy to the dramatic compositions of Mozart, there is one thing in common: they are all based on an octave scale that includes thirteen notes. They are based on the Western scale. Vocalists using the Western scale must be very precise when it comes to the notes because there are no “in-between” or quarter notes. Also, compositions are almost always polyphonic; they have both a melody and a harmony (Todd, 2003). A piece that does not include a harmony is considered to be rather simple and not a great classical.

    The Fight for Democracy & Women's Rights in Algeria: A

    THE FIGHT FOR DEMOCRACY & WOMEN’S RIGHTS IN ALGERIA: A LONG LEGACY OF STRUGGLE The uprising that began in Algeria on 22 February 2019, was a watershed moment in the country’s 57-year history since independence. It reflects, among other things, the culmination of decades of struggle by two secular movements that have pushed against both the extremist Islamist tendencies in the country, but also against a regime that tried to contain and use the Islamists to its own advantage. The absence of an Islamist presence in the protests and the secular nature of the demands is notable, suggesting that the country has now entered what some call a post-Islamist era. This article explores what gave rise to these new tendencies. It first documents the demise of Islamist influences and shows how the current protests have their roots in two secular movements: the women’s movement and the Kabyle (Berber) movement, thus representing a fundamental shift in Algerian politics.
