Conference Abstracts CONFERENCE ABSTRACTS / RÉSUMÉS DE LA CONFÉRENCE Keynote Plenary 1 / Séance plénière principale 1 Blowin' Up: Rap Dreams in South Central Jooyoung Lee, University of Toronto Blowin' Up is a long-term ethnography of aspiring rappers from Project Blowed, South Central Los Angeles’ most storied hip-hop open mic workshop. Drawing on five years of ethnographic research, in-depth interviews, and videos, Lee traces the lives of young Black men who grow up in the shadows of Crips, Bloods, and a glittering entertainment industry. Specifically, Lee shows how hip-hop culture becomes a ‘creative alternative’ to the gang life, which is a routine rite of passage into manhood for young men in South Central. He also shows how Project Blowed shields these young men from the dangers of the streets and how the surrounding industry – a world where everybody knows ‘somebody’ in the business – sustains these aspirations. In the end, Blowin’ Up takes the reader deep into the world of underground hip-hop in-the-making and makes a compelling case for nurturing the creative lives of at-risk youth. Blowin' Up est une ethnographie à long terme d’aspirants rappeurs de Project Blowed, l’atelier micros ouverts (open mic) hip-hop le plus légendaire de South Central Los Angeles. Faisant fond sur cinq années de recherche ethno- graphique, d’entrevues approfondies et de vidéos, Lee retrace la vie de jeunes Noirs qui ont grandi dans l’ombre des Crips, des Bloods et d’une industrie du divertissement scintillante. Il montre plus particulièrement comment la culture hip-hop devient une voie de rechange créative au gang, rite de passage courant pour les jeunes hommes de South Central. Il montre également comment Project Blowed protège ces jeunes contre les dangers de la rue et comment l’industrie environnante – un monde où chacun connaît «quelqu’un » du domaine – alimente ces aspirations. En fin de compte, Blowin’ Up invite le lecteur à pénétrer dans le monde souterrain du hip-hop en développement et fait valoir de manière convaincante l’importance de cultiver l’élément créatif chez les jeunes à risque. Session/Séance 1a: CSTM Panel 1 Perspectives on Song as Pedagogy and Praxis 1. Constituting Sung Language in Experience Kati Szego, Memorial University of Newfoundland Like many ethnomusicologists working in the North American academy, I teach courses in “world music” to undergraduate students. Most of my students are unilingual Anglo-Canadians, who are frequently asked to listen to sung texts that are unintelligible to them. Like most world music pedagogues, I provide students with glosses on the general meanings of a vocal performance and text translations whenever possible. Still, I have often wondered how students make meaning out of incomprehensible semantic materials. To this end, I examined the responses of three former students to songs sung in Hawaiian and Armenian. In this paper, I address three questions: How does sung language that is beyond denotative grasp, emerge in the experience of listeners, moment by moment? How are listeners’ multiple sensory modalities engaged in the process of constituting language sounds in experience? And how do listeners’ general disposition toward lyrics – their language ideologies – shape their listening practices? 2. Chante ton accent, sauvegarde ton identité! Acadian Music Revival in Nova Scotia’s Baie-Sainte-Marie Monique McGrath, Memorial University of Newfoundland Speaking French in Nova Scotia is perceived as a political gesture. After a long history of assimilation into the province’s dominant anglophone community, French-speaking Acadians in Nova Scotia are pressured to assimilate further by abandoning their regional Acadian accents and adopting Standard French. This paper discusses two waves of Acadian music revival in Nova Scotia’s Baie-Sainte-Marie, and how Acadians singing in both Standard French and Acadian French can be interpreted as a form of resistance from cultural assimilation. Whereas the 1990s saw groups like Grand Dérangement sing in Standard French to resist assimilation into the anglophone majority, contemporary groups like Radio Radio and Cy currently sing in Acadian French as a way of resisting assimilation into the Standard French community. 3. The Egyptian Singer and International Icon Umm Kulthum in the Eyes of Iranians Mahsa Pakravan, University of Alberta Nearly forty years after her death, the famous Egyptian singer Umm Kulthum is still loved by many. The older generation of Iranians still remember Umm Kulthum and compare her with respected Iranian singers. These comparisons are not simply about her music but have to do with her political views and ethical values. I focus on the position of a legendary non-Iranian female musician in Iranian society to better understand the double standards that affect the life and reputation of female musicians. I attempt to answer the following questions: What socio-cultural and spiritual meanings do Iranians assign to Umm Kulthum’s artistic character? How do these meanings reflect the challenges female musicians face in male-dominated societies? I also study the historical and cultural factors contributing to the iconic role of Umm Kulthum in Iranian society and highlight the restrictions around the participation of female musicians in the cultural scene of Iran. 27 Session/Séance 1b: CSTM Panel 2 Sound Sources for Intercultural Empowerment and Social Justice 1. Critical Ethnomusicology Pedagogy with Migrant Youth: Negotiating “Multicultural” Belonging in Edmontonian Schools Rana El Kadi, University of Alberta This paper draws on the experiences of 35 culturally diverse migrant youth that participated in my doctoral praxis at two junior high schools in Edmonton, Alberta. Through Critical Ethnomusicology Pedagogy (CEP), these students used participatory music-making and ethnomusicological research in order to explore their peers’ migrant identities as well as their own, while negotiating their senses of belonging within a multicultural context through relational terms. In my paper, I argue that CEP provides a performative-discursive space for migrant youth to: (a) contest the discourse of official Canadian multiculturalism, which reinforces cultural stereotypes and reproduces social inequities within schools; (b) express and negotiate their fluid musical identities and interests with peers of various cultures; and (c) (re)define what it means for migrant youth to “belong” in a multicultural context such as Canada. 2. (Be)longing and Activating (Be)longing: A Musical Intervention in the U.S. Gun Debate Eric Hung, Rider University In March/April 2017, as part of the 10-year memorial of the Seung-Hui Cho shootings, Virginia Tech will premiere (Be)longing, an oratorio by composer Byron Au Yong and writer Aaron Jafferis. Connected with this performance is Activating (Be)longing, which includes town forums, exhibits, and workshops that encourage participants to create artworks and activities based on the issues brought out by the piece. Au Yong and Jafferis believe that, in order to move forward in enacting more effective public policies about guns and gun violence, we need to go beyond the polarizing national debate by building community through the use of personal stories. My paper first discusses how (Be)longing mirrors conversations and arguments that occurred between the survivors, victims’ families, and the larger Virginia Tech community. Afterwards, I explore just how difficult moving beyond the national debate is, as demonstrated by a four-week workshop on (Be)longing in March/April 2016. 3. Beyond (dis)ability: Alternatives of Belonging Through Music, Theatre, and Garden Louise Wrazen, York University This paper considers the role of music in normalizing difference and (re)constructing the (dis)abled body. Each summer at Spiral Garden, children participate in an integrated program built around creative play and performance in an outdoor setting. Through music, theatre, and arts within a garden setting, the program creates an alternative space for children and youth with and without disabilities. Staff and participants build an inclusive environment rich in imaginative possibilities based on interdependence and belonging to contrast with the social exclusion many experience elsewhere. Following work on music and disability (Bakan) and acknowledging a theoretical framework that understands the body as the source of knowing (Johnson) and disability as a constructed minority identity (Siebers), this paper suggests that Spiral Garden models a relational way of being together and of being part of the natural environment that reinforces the normalcy of the incomplete subject (Davis) within a larger ecology of being. Session/Séance 1c: IASPM Panel 1 From the Hip to the Square: Canadian Celebrations, and Popular Music Nations 1. “We Are Not the Country We Think We Are”: Canada 150, Colonial Legacy and Gord Downie’s The Secret Path Susan Fast, McMaster University In October, 2016, Gord Downie released his fifth solo album. Titled The Secret Path, the album, along with an accompanying graphic novel by Downie and Jeff Lemire, tells the heart-wrenching story of Chanie Wenjack, an eleven year old Anishinaabe boy from the Marten Falls First Nation in Northen Ontario, who escaped from a residential school in 1966 and died while trying to walk the 600 kilometres back home. Downie’s purpose in telling Chanie’s story is both to bring attention to the horrors of Canada’s residential school system and to raise money for his fund to support the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation. On the project’s website, Downie writes: “Chanie’s story haunts me. His story is Canada’s story. This is about Canada … We are not the country we think we are.” In fact, in the same statement, and also in an interview Downie gave to the CBC, he admits that thinking of – or rather feeling – Canada as a country is difficult for him, which he now recognizes as stemming from the ongoing legacy of colonization. For this reason, Downie concludes that the last 150 years “aren’t as much worth celebrating as we think.” For Downie, the telling of Chanie’s story serves as a metaphor for this legacy.

  • The History of Women in Jazz in Britain
    The history of jazz in Britain has been scrutinised in notable publications including Parsonage (2005) The Evolution of Jazz in Britain, 1880-1935 , McKay (2005) Circular Breathing: The Cultural Politics of Jazz in Britain , Simons (2006) Black British Swing and Moore (forthcoming 2007) Inside British Jazz . This body of literature provides a useful basis for specific consideration of the role of women in British jazz. This area is almost completely unresearched but notable exceptions to this trend include Jen Wilson’s work (in her dissertation entitled Syncopated Ladies: British Jazzwomen 1880-1995 and their Influence on Popular Culture ) and George McKay’s chapter ‘From “Male Music” to Feminist Improvising’ in Circular Breathing . Therefore, this chapter will provide a necessarily selective overview of British women in jazz, and offer some limited exploration of the critical issues raised. It is hoped that this will provide a stimulus for more detailed research in the future. Any consideration of this topic must necessarily foreground Ivy Benson 1, who played a fundamental role in encouraging and inspiring female jazz musicians in Britain through her various ‘all-girl’ bands. Benson was born in Yorkshire in 1913 and learned the piano from the age of five. She was something of a child prodigy, performing on Children’s Hour for the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) at the age of nine. She also appeared under the name of ‘Baby Benson’ at Working Men’s Clubs (private social clubs founded in the nineteenth century in industrial areas of Great Britain, particularly in the North, with the aim of providing recreation and education for working class men and their families).

Kirsten Saur, 1 Kirsten Saur Swing It, Sister: The Influence of Female Jazz Musicians on Music and Society Female musicians tend to go unrecognized for their contributions to music. Though this has changed in recent years, the women of the past did not get the fame they deserved until after their deaths. Women have even tried to perform as professional musicians since ancient Greek times. But even then, the recognition did not go far. They were performers but were not seen as influences on music or social standings like male composers and performers were. They were not remembered like male performers and composers until past their time, and the lives of these women are not studied as possible influences in music until far past their times as well.

    Legacy Schools ReconciliACTION Guide Contents 3 INTRODUCTION 4 WELCOME TO THE LEGACY SCHOOLS PROGRAM 5 LEGACY SCHOOLS COMMITMENT 6 BACKGROUND 10 RECONCILIACTIONS 12 SECRET PATH WEEK 13 FUNDRAISING 15 MEDIA & SOCIAL MEDIA A Message from the Families Chi miigwetch, thank you, to everyone who has supported the Gord Downie & Chanie Wenjack Fund. When our families embarked upon this journey, we never imagined the potential for Gord’s telling of Chanie’s story to create a national movement that could further reconciliation and help to build a better Canada. We truly believe it’s so important for all Canadians to understand the true history of Indigenous people in Canada; including the horrific truths of what happened in the residential school system, and the strength and resilience of Indigenous culture and peoples. It’s incredible to reflect upon the beautiful gifts both Chanie & Gord were able to leave us with. On behalf of both the Downie & Wenjack families -- Chi miigwetch, thank you for joining us on this path. We are stronger together. In Unity, MIKE DOWNIE & HARRIET VISITOR Gord Downie & Chanie Wenjack Fund 3 Introduction The Gord Downie & Chanie Wenjack Fund (DWF) is part of Gord Downie’s legacy and embodies his commitment, and that of his family, to improving the lives of Indigenous peoples in Canada. In collaboration with the Wenjack family, the goal of the Fund is to continue the conversation that began with Chanie Wenjack’s residential school story, and to aid our collective reconciliation journey through a combination of awareness, education and connection. Our Mission Inspired by Chanie’s story and Gord’s call to action to build a better Canada, the Gord Downie & Chanie Wenjack Fund (DWF) aims to build cultural understanding and create a path toward reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples.

  • The K-Pop Wave: an Economic Analysis
    The K-pop Wave: An Economic Analysis Patrick A. Messerlin1 Wonkyu Shin2 (new revision October 6, 2013) ABSTRACT This paper first shows the key role of the Korean entertainment firms in the K-pop wave: they have found the right niche in which to operate— the ‘dance-intensive’ segment—and worked out a very innovative mix of old and new technologies for developing the Korean comparative advantages in this segment. Secondly, the paper focuses on the most significant features of the Korean market which have contributed to the K-pop success in the world: the relative smallness of this market, its high level of competition, its lower prices than in any other large developed country, and its innovative ways to cope with intellectual property rights issues. Thirdly, the paper discusses the many ways the K-pop wave could ensure its sustainability, in particular by developing and channeling the huge pool of skills and resources of the current K- pop stars to new entertainment and art activities. Last but not least, the paper addresses the key issue of the ‘Koreanness’ of the K-pop wave: does K-pop send some deep messages from and about Korea to the world? It argues that it does. Keywords: Entertainment; Comparative advantages; Services; Trade in services; Internet; Digital music; Technologies; Intellectual Property Rights; Culture; Koreanness.

  • Larry Ochs' Interview with Luca Canini for Allaboutjazzitalia.Com Via Email in Winter 2013.(Published April 2013.) Questions
    Larry Ochs’ interview with Luca Canini for AllAboutJazzItalia.com via email in winter 2013.(published April 2013.) Questions in bold. Some years ago, when I first listened to “Electric Ascension”, I was shocked by the intensity and power of the performance: past/future, tradition/innovation. That disc and the few concerts around the world are a deep reflection on jazz, history, improvisation, sound. But everything started back in 1995, when Rova decided to celebrate the 30th anniversary of John Coltrane’s masterpiece. Can you tell me something about the birth of the project? How do you decide to approach such a “problematic” piece (if you consider Ascension a “piece”)? And do you remember the first time you listen to Ascension? I think Coltrane’s “Ascension” is one of the great jazz compositions of all time. A great formal structure; a great piece. Not that I consider myself an expert on all jazz music. I really don’t. But I am an expert on the greatness of that composition. We have played it 11 times as “Electric Ascension.” And yes it is true that we re- arranged the piece and changed the instrumentation, but the basic composition “Ascension” is absolutely at the center of “Electric Ascension;” it totally influences all the music we play in the spontaneous performance. There is no doubt of that. I remember seeing John Coltrane live at the Village Vanguard with his late great quartet in 1967. I was 18. The music overwhelmed me completely. There were maybe 20 people there for that second set of their night.

  • Writing to Transgress: Sharing Stories, Claiming Space, and Finding Community
    Writing to Transgress: Sharing Stories, Claiming Space, and Finding Community by Emily Pohl-Weary A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Leadership, Higher and Adult Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto © Copyright by Emily Pohl-Weary 2018 ii Writing to Transgress: Sharing Stories, Claiming Space, and Finding Community Emily Pohl-Weary Doctor of Philosophy Leadership, Higher and Adult Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto 2018 Abstract My research has shown that community-based creative writing groups can be safer spaces for people who are under-represented in the English literary canon to craft and share their stories, poems, and other genres of writing. They can also put the act of cultural production into the hands of participants, redefine the notion of great literature, and provide a counterpoint to institutional learning. These groups are potential spaces for learning how to relate to one another with respect while acknowledging our own privileges, which can ultimately transform hegemonic social relations that exclude and oppress rather than connect and build support. Using iii critical arts-based inquiry and program evaluation methods, I employ a reflexive technique to investigate the benefits of a single group for youth, Toronto Street Writers (TSW), which I facilitated for six years in the neighbourhood where I grew up. TSW is positioned within a range of literacy and community writing groups across North America, transgressive and anti- oppressive theories around creative writing pedagogy are summarized, and interviews with former participants and staff of TSW are analyzed for insights into how to facilitate sustainable community-based creative writing groups that genuinely benefit members.

  • Get 'Em out by Friday the Official Release Dates 1968-78 Introduction
    Genesis: Get ‘Em Out By Friday The Official Release Dates 1968-78 Introduction Depending on where one looks for the information, the original release dates of Genesis singles and albums are often misreported. This article uses several sources, including music paper cuttings, websites and books, to try and determine the most likely release date in the UK for their officially released product issued between 1968 and 1978. For a detailed analysis to be completed beyond 1978 will require the input of others that know that era far better than I with the resources to examine it in appropriate levels of detail. My own collection of source material essentially runs dry after 1978. As most people searching for release dates are likely to go to Wikipedia that is where this search for the truth behind Genesis’ back catalogie. The dates claimed on Wikipedia would themselves have come from a number of sources referenced by contributors over the years but what these references lack is the evidence to back up their claims. This article aims to either confirm or disprove these dates with the added bonus of citing where this information stems from. It’s not without a fair share of assumptions and educated deductions but it offers more on this subject than any previously published piece. The main sources consulted in the writing of this article are as follows: 1. The Genesis File Melody Maker 16 December 1972 2. Genesis Information Newsletter Issue No. 1 October 1976 3. Wax Fax by Barry Lazzell - a series of articles on Genesis releases published in Sounds over several weeks in 1977 4.
