  • A Gergely András: „Arab”

    A Gergely András: „Arab”

    A.GERGELY ANDRÁS „ARAB” VILÁGZENE, AVAGY A RAÏ ZENEI SZCÉNÁJA (2/1.) A legkevésbé sem erőltethető, hogy a Parlando hasábjain bármily érdeklődési eltolódás következzen be a kortárs zenei műfajok, irányzatok vagy akár kultuszok területén. Ám abban a lehetséges bűvkörben, ahol a világ népeinek, kultúráinak, ezek keveredéseinek vagy konfliktusainak, az átvételek, divatok, kölcsönhatások rendszerének új jelenségeire is odafigyelhetünk, nem kevéssé érdemes észrevenni kultúrák, kultuszok és zenei beszédmódok között annak a műfaji jelenségnek születését és hatását, melyet a raï zenei világának nevezhetünk. Kérdés: érdemes-e itt valamiféle „ezoterikus” tüneményről elmélkedni? Kell-e egy bizonyos ideig tartó, de rövid korszaknál (újdonságerejénél fogva ugyan ható, ugyanakkor) nem zenetörténeti jelenségről ott szólani, ahol időt állóbbnak nevezhető alaptónus az uralkodó? Kell-e, s lehet- e a 21. század zenéjében föl-fölbukkanó hatásokra méltóképpen fölfigyelni, vagy megmarad mindez a divatkedvelők időleges horizontján valami alkalmi jelenségként, időleges folyamatként, esetleges szereplők tereként? S ha analógiákat keresünk: Bartók török gyűjtése, az amerikai zenei kultúra country- hagyományai, az indiai zenék évtizedeket átható fogyasztási kultúrája Európában, vagy akár a balkáni cigány népzene belopakodása a kortárs zenei gondolkodásba, vajon érdemi zenetudományi kérdésfeltevésekre is alkalmassá válik-e, kellő hatásuk pedig zenepedagógiai érdeklődésre is számot tarthat-e? Vagy, mindezek mellett és helyett, pusztán egy divatkorszak divatos zenéjéről van szó a raï esetében, mely érkezett is, múlik is, ezért legyinthetünk rá…? A megfontolásokat két dimenzióban próbálom tárgyalni. Először egy ismeretközlő, „népszerűsítő” áttekintés, publicisztikus mű ismertetésével, majd második körben egy térségi zenei övezet korszakos sodrásával igyekszem bemutatni egy szórakoztató (de nemcsak), divatos (de annál tradicionálisabb), térségi-tájegységi (ám akként a Mediterránum szinte egészét átható, Európa nyugati felén is széles sávban hódító) zenei jelenség mibenlétét.

    1,000 Films to See Before You Die Published in the Guardian, June 2007

    1,000 Films to See Before You Die Published in The Guardian, June 2007 http://film.guardian.co.uk/1000films/0,,2108487,00.html Ace in the Hole (Billy Wilder, 1951) Prescient satire on news manipulation, with Kirk Douglas as a washed-up hack making the most of a story that falls into his lap. One of Wilder's nastiest, most cynical efforts, who can say he wasn't actually soft-pedalling? He certainly thought it was the best film he'd ever made. Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (Tom Shadyac, 1994) A goofy detective turns town upside-down in search of a missing dolphin - any old plot would have done for oven-ready megastar Jim Carrey. A ski-jump hairdo, a zillion impersonations, making his bum "talk" - Ace Ventura showcases Jim Carrey's near-rapturous gifts for physical comedy long before he became encumbered by notions of serious acting. An Actor's Revenge (Kon Ichikawa, 1963) Prolific Japanese director Ichikawa scored a bulls-eye with this beautifully stylized potboiler that took its cues from traditional Kabuki theatre. It's all ballasted by a terrific double performance from Kazuo Hasegawa both as the female-impersonator who has sworn vengeance for the death of his parents, and the raucous thief who helps him. The Addiction (Abel Ferrara, 1995) Ferrara's comic-horror vision of modern urban vampires is an underrated masterpiece, full- throatedly bizarre and offensive. The vampire takes blood from the innocent mortal and creates another vampire, condemned to an eternity of addiction and despair. Ferrara's mob movie The Funeral, released at the same time, had a similar vision of violence and humiliation.

    Miroir du Cinéma, n° 2 (mai 1962) Exclusif : entretiens avec Marker - Gatti Ils sont dignes d’être aimés (p. 1) Si errant les yeux grands ouvert au mitan d’une ruelle pavée de mauvaises intentions et peuplée des cauchemars d’un millier de bourgeois, je découvrais devant moi le dos de Marker sur le trottoir de droite et le dos de Gatti sur le trottoir de gauche (ou vice-versa, n’abusons pas), je ne m’étonnerais pas. Ces deux-là hantent tous les lieux, même abandonnés du diable, pourvu que l’on y croise des hommes. C’est peut-être Marker alors que je tenterais de joindre le premier... ou peut-être Gatti, ou plutôt, je gueulerais « à l’assassin », tel Roland. Car tous deux, en ces temps où il est plus prudent de gueuler « au feu » pour être secouru ; sont de ceux, rares qui assument toutes les victimes, de préférence avant qu’elles ne soient mortes. L’une, c’est le feu, l’autre, la flamme. Feu, froid ou flamme sombre, qu’importe pourvu que cela brûle... L’un dit « couilles », l’autre choisit ses mots, l’un c’est la coiffure-tempête, l’autre des yeux de chat, l’un les bégaiements de la violence, l’autre un saxo à peine ouvert, l’un des mains de bûcheron, l’autre un crâne bien astiqué... l’un est écorché à vif sous ses masques, l’autre déballe à la première connivence, l’un fait le hérisson, l’autre à toujours les tripes à l’air, l’un descend d’un balayeur antifasciste, l’autre d’une fausse légende viking..

A great deal of attention has been given in recent years to the way that Arab satellite television has emerged as a transnational political force. But very new commentators have bothered to study how this news is being received, how it shapes a nebulous "Arab" world or Arab community, and especially, to the fact that most of what is projected on satellite television is not news at all. From the beginning, soap operas, talk shows, music videos and serials have dominated most satellite programming.

It is no coincidence that rai surged onto the Algerian popular music landscape during the 1980s, a time in which Islamic reformists brought about new challenges to the political, cultural, and artistic scenes in the developing country. [Listen to an example of rai.] Caught between tradition and modernization, and reacting to the failure of socialism and its inability to appeal to the majority of the Algerian masses, the country sank into a brutal civil war between the military- backed regime and Islamic conservatives demanding a fair democratic election. Algerian rai artists responded by expressing disenchantment with their country’s situation through a modernized genre largely based on its traditional, folk-based, sacred ancestor. In Arabic rai means “opinion,” a word reflecting the desire for freedom of speech and expression, values that have been subjected to extreme censorship by non-democratic Arab governments. Currently, rai is associated with an emerging youth culture and the new connotations ascribed to the genre reflect 1 Echo: a music-centered journal www.echo.ucla.edu Volume 5 Issue 1 (Spring 2003) tenets of liberalism that depart from the past. In its newly adopted form, rai represents an alternative mode of protest and liberation. 2. When new rai began to achieve popularity in Algeria and Europe in the late 70s and early 80s, rai artists and the conservative factions were at odds with each other because of their conflicting ideological positions.

Jean-Luc Godard Dr. Nicos Terzis, Adjunct Professor, Department of Graphic Design, School of Fine Arts, Technological Educational Institute of Athens, Athens, Greece Abstract: The proposed paper will attempt to delineate the history and the aesthetic characteristics of the French Nouvelle Vague, the most famous cinematic movement in history. The structure of the paper will mainly evolve around the following questions and topics: where did the name of the cinematic movement ―Nouvelle Vague‖ originate from? What kind of influences ―Nouvelle Vague‖ exerted on other film movements around the world? Which role did the Cinemathèque Française and Henri Langlois, its creator, play in the formation of the aforementioned cinematic movement? What role did the French film magazines of that period (e.g. Cahiers du Cinéma) play in the creation of this new wave? Who are the main representatives of the movement (Jean-Luc Godard, François Truffaut, Claude Chabrol, Eric Rohmer, Jacques Rivette) and the Left Bank directors: Alain Resnais, Chris Marker, Agnes Varda? Who are the Precursors of the Nouvelle Vague? What are the modernist aesthetic characteristics of this world’s most famous cinematic movement, in terms of form [mise en scene] & narrative structure [montage]? Phenomenology and diffused existentialism in the movements’ themes and characters. Keywords: Nouvelle Vague, Modernism, Montage, Auteur theory, Camera Stylo 1 Prologue ―Αgainst modern
