Biography Samuel Gordon Armistead (1927-2013) was Professor of Spanish and Portuguese at the University of California, Davis from 1982 to 2010. Dr. Armistead was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where he spent his early years. He attended Princeton University, where he received his Ph.D. in Spanish literature and Romance languages in 1955. From 1953 to 1982, Dr. Armistead taught at a variety of institutions, beginning with Princeton, followed by the University of California, Los Angeles (1956-1967), Purdue University (1967-1968), and the University of Pennsylvania (1968-1982). He joined the faculty of UC Davis in 1982. During his career, Samuel Armistead conducted extensive fieldwork in North Africa, the Middle East, the United States, and Europe collecting stories, ballads, poetry, and riddles, with particular attention to traditions of Sephardic folklore. He wrote or contributed to more than thirty books and over 500 articles. Notable among these works is the "Folk Literature of the Sephardic Jews" series, produced in concert with scholars Joseph H. Silverman and Israel J. Katz. Many of the recordings made for this work are available at http://www.sephardifolklit.org . Dr. Armistead was also greatly interested in the rapidly disappearing language of the Isleños of Louisiana, a community largely descended from settlers from the Canary Islands. Dr. Armistead retired from UC Davis in 2010 and remained active in research and writing until his death in 2013.

The sheltered harbour conditions have made Lisbon a major port for two millennia, and as a result of the maritime exploits of the Age of Discoveries Lisbon became the centre of an imperial Portugal. Modern Lisbon is a diverse, exciting, creative city where the ancient and modern mix, and adventure hides around every corner. 2018 Venue: The Altice Arena Sitting like a beautiful UFO on the banks of the River Tagus, the Altice Arena has hosted events as diverse as technology forum Web Summit, the 2002 World Fencing Championships and Kylie Minogue’s Portuguese debut concert. With a maximum capacity of 20000 people and an innovative wooden internal structure intended to invoke the form of Portuguese carrack, the arena was constructed specially for Expo ‘98 and very well served by the Lisbon public transport system. 2018 Hosts: Sílvia Alberto, Filomena Cautela, Catarina Furtado, Daniela Ruah Sílvia Alberto is a graduate of both Lisbon Film and Theatre School and RTP’s Clube Disney.

  • Gender and Geopolitics in the Eurovision Song Contest Introduction
    Gender and Geopolitics in the Eurovision Song Contest Introduction Catherine Baker Lecturer, University of Hull [email protected] http://www.suedosteuropa.uni-graz.at/cse/en/baker Contemporary Southeastern Europe, 2015, 2(1), 74-93 Contemporary Southeastern Europe is an online, peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary journal that publishes original, scholarly, and policy-oriented research on issues relevant to societies in Southeastern Europe. For more information, please contact us at [email protected] or visit our website at www.contemporarysee.org Introduction: Gender and Geopolitics in the Eurovision Song Contest Catherine Baker* Introduction From the vantage point of the early 1990s, when the end of the Cold War not only inspired the discourses of many Eurovision performances but created opportunities for the map of Eurovision participation itself to significantly expand in a short space of time, neither the scale of the contemporary Eurovision Song Contest (ESC) nor the extent to which a field of “Eurovision research” has developed in cultural studies and its related disciplines would have been recognisable. In 1993, when former Warsaw Pact states began to participate in Eurovision for the first time and Yugoslav successor states started to compete in their own right, the contest remained a one-night-per- year theatrical presentation staged in venues that accommodated, at most, a couple of thousand spectators and with points awarded by expert juries from each participating country. Between 1998 and 2004, Eurovision’s organisers, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), and the national broadcasters responsible for hosting each edition of the contest expanded it into an ever grander spectacle: hosted in arenas before live audiences of 10,000 or more, with (from 2004) a semi-final system enabling every eligible country and broadcaster to participate each year, and with (between 1998 and 2008) points awarded almost entirely on the basis of telephone voting by audiences in each participating state.

BODIES IN THE MARGINS Refiguring the Rebetika as Literature Sophia Schlesinger Faculty Advisor: Andrea Kaston-Tange Macalester English Department Submitted April 25th, 2020 Abstract This thesis engages a literary analysis of a corpus of songs and recordings known as the rebetika (sing. rebetiko), which prospered in the port districts of major cities throughout the Aegean in the early 20th century. Engaging the rebetika as literary texts, I argue, helps us understand how they have functioned as a kind of pressure point on the borders between nation and Other. Without making unproveable biographical claims about the motives of the music progenitors, I examine why so many have reached for the rebetika as texts with which to articulate various political and cultural desires.

Et dans un monde de plus en plus globalisé, est-ce que l’idée même de culture nationale fait encore sens ? Est-ce que la voix et les mots peuvent-être considérés comme un simple matériau ? Est-ce que la danse où les arts plastiques, parce qu’ils font fi de la parole, ne disent rien des pays dont sont originaires leurs artistes ? Mais surtout, est-ce que l’eurovision est un outil efficace de diffusion ou de prosélytisme culturel et linguistique ? Est-ce qu’écouter Wer liebe lebt permet de découvrir la culture allemande ? Sans que l’un n’empêche l’autre, il est en tout cas plus important de voir les pièces de Pollesch, de lire Goethe ou de visiter Berlin.

  • For the Homeland: Transnational Diasporic Nationalism and the Eurovision Song Contest
    FOR THE HOMELAND: TRANSNATIONAL DIASPORIC NATIONALISM AND THE EUROVISION SONG CONTEST SLAVIŠA MIJATOVIĆ A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS GRADUATE PROGRAM IN GEOGRAPHY YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, CANADA December 2014 © Slaviša Mijatović, 2014 Abstract This project examines the extent to which the Eurovision Song Contest can effectively perpetuate discourses of national identity and belonging for diasporic communities. This is done through a detailed performance analysis of former Yugoslav countries’ participations in the contest, along with in-depth interviews with diasporic people from the former Yugoslavia in Malmö, Sweden. The analysis of national symbolism in the performances shows how national representations can be useful for the promotion of the state in a reputational sense, while engaging a short-term sense of national pride and nationalism for the audiences. More importantly, the interviews with the former Yugoslav diaspora affirm Eurovision’s capacity for the long-term promotion of the ‘idea of Europe’ and European diversities as an asset, in spite of the history of conflict within the Yugoslav communities. This makes the contest especially relevant in a time of rising right-wing ideologies based on nationalism, xenophobia and racism. Key words: diaspora, former Yugoslavia, Eurovision Song Contest, music, nationalism, Sweden, transnationalism ii Acknowledgements Any project is fundamentally a piece of team work and my project has been no different. I would like to thank a number of people and organisations for their faith in me and the support they have given me: William Jenkins, my supervisor. For his guidance and support over the past two years, and pushing me to follow my desired research and never settling for less.
