The catalogue gathers together editions of both Georgian art and history, as well as samples of Non Fiction (documentary prose, memoirs, essays) by Georgian authors of several generations: these samples are of great relevance today, both in Georgia and beyond its borders, given current demands in the global literary and publishing context. Naturally, the aim of this catalogue cannot be to represent the whole diapason of Georgian publishing or all the important publications that have appeared in this sphere, but a variety of books and albums are presented, sorted by topic, will give everyone who is interested in Georgian culture, literature and history an idea of our country’s intellectual heritage and the great variety in its publishing arena. This catalogue is the first attempt by the Georgian National Book Centre to undertake a promotion outside Georgia’s borders not only of Georgian litera- ture but of the Georgian cultural heritage. In compiling the catalogue, the in- formation gathered was based on what was provided by Georgian publishing houses as well as material furnished by various art or scientific and scholarly institutes. We are convinced that the catalogue will be a good guide for foreign readers interested in our culture, history and intellectual heritage.

  • UNIVERSITY of CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Music Circulation And
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Music Circulation and Transmission in Tbilisi, Georgia A dissertation filed in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnomusicology by Brigita Sebald 2013 ©Copyright by Brigita Sebald 2013 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Music Circulation and Transmission in Tbilisi, Georgia by Brigita Sebald Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnomusicology University of California, Los Angeles, 2013 Professor Timothy Rice, Chair This dissertation, based upon two years of ethnographic research in Tbilisi, Georgia, questions how popular music travels from the performer to the audience and how it circulates among audience members. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s, the state- run music industry collapsed, taking the infrastructure for music distribution with it. In the years since, a music industry has not been rebuilt due to uncertain economic realities and a shaky political situation. Because of this, performers have difficulty spreading their music through the mass media or by selling it, and alternative distributory methods have developed. The concept of distribution, which is often associated with the activities of the music industry, is replaced with circulation, expressing music’s de-centralized movement and the role individuals play in making music move. This dissertation establishes two spheres through which music circulates: the first is characterized by a higher level of control by the government ii and by businesses, and musicians have limited access to it; the second involves a lower level of control, and therefore musicians and audience members can more easily utilize it. Certain musical styles, such as estrada and ethno-music (a combination of popular and traditional styles) are favored in the first, while other styles, such as heavy metal, circulate almost exclusively in the second.

  • The Georgian Rose Revolution: Challenges and Supports for Ensuring the Non-Violent Outcome in a Post-Soviet Society
    Journal of Azerbaijani Studies 3 THE GEORGIAN ROSE REVOLUTION: CHALLENGES AND SUPPORTS FOR ENSURING THE NON-VIOLENT OUTCOME IN A POST-SOVIET SOCIETY Ramil Aliyev Tramso, Norway Chapter One Introduction This thesis is about the Georgian revolution that took place on 23 November 2003, popularly named the 'Rose Revolution.' It began in the form of street protests in the capital of the country against the falsification of the November 2003 parliamentary election, and culminated in the storming of the Georgian Parliament and the resignation of President Eduard Shevardnadze. Massive demonstra- tions were held in Tbilisi 20-23 November 2003 and tens of thousands of people participated. Mikheil Saakashvili, Zurab Zhvania, Nino Burjanadze and others led the demonstrations that ended with the collapse of the government. After an increasingly tense two weeks of protests, Shevardnadze bowed to the inevitable and resigned as president on 23 November 2003. The parliamentary speaker, Nino Burjanadze, replaced him on an interim basis. The exceptional feature of this revolution is that Georgia managed to overcome the gravest crisis of its latest history without shedding a single drop of blood. Considering Georgia's turbulent history and lack of strong democratic traditions, the non-violent character of the revolution was by no means self-evident. The question is whether the non-violent nature of the event was the result of a deliberate and well- planned strategy, or whether it was mere coincidence. In any case, the Georgian revolution attracted a lot of attention from the regional and Western media. The important feature of this revolution is that it happened non-violently in a former Soviet country.
