  • Traditional Hungarian Romani/Gypsy Dance and Romanian Electronic Pop-Folk Music in Transylvania
    Acta Ethnographica Hungarica, 60 (1), pp. 43–51 (2015) DOI: 10.1556/022.2015.60.1.5 TRADITIONAL HUNGARIAN ROMANI/GYPSY DANCE AND ROMANIAN ELECTRONIC POP-FOLK MUSIC IN TRANSYLVANIA Tamás KORZENSZKY Choreomundus Master Programme – International Master in Dance Knowledge, Practice and Heritage Veres Pálné u. 21, H-1053 Budapest, Hungary E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: This fi eldwork-based ethnochoreological study focuses on traditional dances of Hungar- ian Romani/Gypsy communities in Transylvania (Romania) practiced to electronic pop-folk music. This kind of musical accompaniment is applied not only to the fashionable Romanian manele, but also to their traditional dances (named csingerálás1, cigányos). Thus Romanian electronic pop-folk music including Romani/Gypsy elements provides the possibility for the survival of Transylvanian Hungarian Romani/ Gypsy dance tradition both at community events and public discoes. The continuity in dance idiom is maintained through changes in musical idiom – a remarkable phenomenon, worthy of further discussion from the point of view of the continuity of cultural tradition. Keywords: csingerálás, pop-folk, Romani/Gypsy, tradition, Transylvania INTRODUCTION This fi eldwork-based ethnochoreological study focuses on traditional dances of a Hungarian Romani/Gypsy2 community at Transylvanian villages (Romania) practiced for Romanian electronic pop-folk music. Besides mahala, manele-style dancing prevailing in Romania in Transylvanian villages, also the traditional Hungarian Romani/Gypsy dance dialect – csingerálás – is practiced (‘fi tted’) for mainstream Romanian pop music, the 1 See ORTUTAY 1977. 2 In this paper, I follow Anca Giurchescu (GIURCHESCU 2011: 1) in using ‘Rom’ as a singular noun, ‘Roms’ as a plural noun, and ‘Romani’ as an adjective.

The exercise of political power and the commercialization of traditional music have fundamentally shaken this interactive relation between sound, space and social action. Local identities and histories became confronted with constructed national identities and a homogenized national history. Musical practice witnessed a process of uprooting, the division of performers from their audience related to an emotional reconfiguration. The emotionally and spatially-bound cultural practice became redefined in terms of a static “cultural object” whose aesthetic properties were highlighted over its dynamic functional and interactional character.

    How to use the Atlas The Atlas has two map sections The Main Section shows the location of Russia’s intact forest landscapes. The Thematic Section shows their tree species composition in two different ways. The legend is placed at the beginning of each set of maps. If you are looking for an area near a town or village Go to the Index on page 153 and find the alphabetical list of settlements by English name. The Cyrillic name is also given along with the map page number and coordinates (latitude and longitude) where it can be found. Capitals of regions and districts (raiony) are listed along with many other settlements, but only in the vicinity of intact forest landscapes. The reader should not expect to see a city like Moscow listed. Villages that are insufficiently known or very small are not listed and appear on the map only as nameless dots. If you are looking for an administrative region Go to the Index on page 185 and find the list of administrative regions. The numbers refer to the map on the inside back cover. Having found the region on this map, the reader will know which index map to use to search further. If you are looking for the big picture Go to the overview map on page 35. This map shows all of Russia’s Intact Forest Landscapes, along with the borders and Roman numerals of the five index maps.

We examine Fe isotope systematics of dissolved and colloidal Fe from several Arctic and sub-Arctic rivers in northern Eurasia and Alaska. We demonstrate that the Fe isotopic (δ56Fe) composition of large rivers, such as the Ob’ and Lena, has a restricted range of δ56Fe values ca.–0.11 ± 0.13‰, with minimal seasonal variability, in stark contrast to smaller organic-rich rivers with an overall δ56Fe range from–1.7 to + 1.6‰.

  • Anca Mihuleţ How Old Are You and What Do You Like to Do Best? Or Wondering If Marginality Is an Inconvenient
    Anca Mihuleţ _ How old are you and what do you like to do best? or wondering if marginality is an inconvenient Social behaviour, obsession with reality, the body can serve as coordinates in defining marginality, be it social, cultural or physical. There is a tension connected to marginal people and marginality, but also a desire to communicate sometimes in excess around it, using an incorrect terminology. Methods, Sex and Madness, a book written by Julia O’Connell Davidson and Derek Layder tries to define the connection between the way in which people become aware of and use their own body, the correct methods of social investigation (scientific knowledge, interview, lab study, statistics) and the capacity to accept human nature as such. The results of evaluations led by the authors show that marginality can be influenced by power, consent and control. The two sociologists interviewed and analysed different peripheral typologies – the rapist, the prostitute, the suicidal-driven individual – emphasising the need for reflexivity and evaluation of the consequences that our relations with the others have, whether we talk about conditions of reciprocity, asymmetry or potential exploitation. David Levy, in his thesis Realism, an essay in interpretation and social reality talks about several levels of reality – social, symbolical, lived, transcendental or political reality – which define the daily space and which recompose from our desire to go further from experience and sense, through finding some symbols and justifying theories. The author considers that rebellion exists in each one of us; this state overcomes the existential level in order to be suppressed at the level of consciousness through the propagation of a total ideology distorting the proof of reality.

  • How Music Affects Soundscape: Musical Preferences in Skadarlija*

I argue that this specific musicscape relies on communicative and affective aspects of particular performances. I pay special attention to the repertoires performed and the way in which they interweave. The aim of this article is to demonstrate how musical preferences influence sound environment, especially in the context of the tourism industry. Keywords: musicscape, Skadarlija, Belgrade, musical preferences, folk music Skadarlija is a district in central Belgrade with a tradition more than a century old, characterized by famous restaurants and taverns where numerous folk orchestras perform; today it is one of the most prominent locations in the city. From the begin- ning of the 20th century until the end of World War II it was the main bohemian place in Belgrade. In 1966, the restoration of the street began as an architectural project with the idea to achieve today’s appearance of an “ambient nook in Belgrade,” in a rede- * This article was written for the project City Sonic Ecology: Urban Soundscapes of Bern, Ljubljana and Belgrade, financed by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) within its SCOPES programme (2013–2016).
