Čiurlionis’ (1875-1911) musical experiments and foresights” The barometric data on 20th-century musical composition clearly testifies that seismically active and dynamic areas undoubtedly outcompeted the stillness of stability. By the end of the first decade, the activity in the changeable, ‘explosive’ layer was stimulated by the critical level of fluctuations of major musical composition systems, which up to that point had surely served the process of composing of musical texts. This encompassed tonality, concentrated thematic content and its further development, the correlation between material and form (top-level structure), as well as many other elements. As a motto of Modernism Daniel Albright chose Ezra Pound’s favourite saying ‘make it new’, which Pound came across in the works of Confucius.1 It is the idea of Modernism, as though a flag of progressive art hoisted by radicals in different historical contexts that unites, shelters and legitimises very different types of Modernism of different periods or which co-exist in the same period of time. In the first decades of the 20th century, Fritz Heinrich Klein, Anton Webern and Béla Bartόk, Ferruccio Busoni, Igor Stravinski and Edgar Varèse, Alois Hába, Henry Cowell, Charles Ives, and other composers were these dissimilar heralds of New Music. All of them constitute a huge, integral, pluralistic picture of different cultures, assumptions, views, and contradictory individual types of Modernism, where all the dates have not been finally fixed, all the adventages have not been endowed, and new characters appear from time to time. In theoretical studies, the dates marking the start of modernisation of 20th century European music still fluctuate. A transitional period is deemed to have taken place from 1890 to 1910 and was distinguished by ideological and stylistic criticism of traditionalism (Hans Pfitzner’s compositions) and controverting musical scores by Gustav Mahler, Richard Strauss and C. Debussy that provoked key transformations (Carl Dahlhaus’ view)2. Richard Taruskin also distinguishes ‘early Modernism’ (1890–1914), which he describes as the ‘radical intensification of remaining intentions or traditions’ or maximalism3. When referring to a date of the start of Modernism in music, Albright builds on the creative work of Debussy and Strauss and claims that semantic specificity, comprehensiveness, expansions and destructions of tonality are the most important identifying characteristics of Modernism4. On the other hand, Modernism (a synonym for adjectives like ‘new’, ‘modern’, ‘advanced’) has not yet been an definitively delineated theoretical constant. According to Leon Botstein, it developed into a solid scientific concept only after it became a polemic and analytical category. 1 Daniel Albright. Albright, Daniel.

Robinson, Los Angeles, Berkeley: University of California Press, 1989, p. 334. 3 What Taruskin had in mind here was the radical intensification or maximalisation of Wagnerian trend (the ascending ability of maneuverability of “tonal navigation”) or the trend of motivic saturation in the music by Brahms and others.

The ‘reread’ texts of 20th century musical culture reveal a more complicated trans-cultural picture of formation and early development of musical Modernism. So the term parataxis defined a theory used when describing cultural texts, art works and their authors, which rejected the usual hierarchy of traditional stories of modernism. This radical postmodern discourse have changed the praxis of reading and interpreting cultural texts. One of the fundamental positions supported by the grand narratives of modernism was an opposition between the metropolitan hubs of modernism (the Second Viennese School) and the periphery, i. e. the rest of the world. As a rule, the hubs of modernism (the West) and their central figures were worshiped; local forms of modernism and its representatives (the Rest) were conceived, however, as second-class successors, imitators and plagiarists of the discoveries of imperial metropolies. This was musical modernity as seen by George Perle, Ernst Křenek, Hans Heinz Stuckenschmidt and others. To explain the content of the concepts „modernism“, „modernization“ and geo-cultural location of modernity in musicl composition, I will use Perry Anderson‘s description. Anderson understood modernism „as a cultural field of force triangulated by three decisive coordinates.“ These three coordinates include: 1) a „highly formalized academism in

  • Frontier Gentlemen's Club: Felix Kanitz and Balkan Archaeology
    10 Frontier gentlemen’s club: Felix Kanitz and Balkan archaeology Vladimir V. Mihajlovic´ Histories of archaeology show that our disciplinary knowledge has immensely diverse origins, in terms of its interactions not just with other fields of scholarly inquiry, but within the field of archaeology itself. Routes of communication exist outside ‘regular’ academic channels and have a great influence on the production and transmission of discipli- nary knowledge. Knowledge that is now perceived as canonical has often been conceived through contacts made outside institutional circles and their strict rules. Archaeological knowledge, as well as scientific knowledge in general, like any other form of knowledge, is ‘a cultural formation, embedded in wider networks of social relations and political power, and shaped by the local environments in which practitioners carry out their tasks’ (Livingstone, 2002: 236; on the social nature of knowledge see Latour, 1996, 2005; Law, 1992). The socio-/geopolitical nature of knowledge that David Livingstone writes about can be clearly seen in the life and work of Felix Kanitz (1829–1904), one of the greatest researchers of the Balkans (and their past) in the nineteenth century. Géza Fehér, the author of the first and still the most compre- hensive biography of Kanitz (1932), gave him the flattering nickname ‘Columbus of the Balkans’. Kanitz was once perceived as the discoverer of the lands south of the Sava-Danube river boundary, and his books are still ‘a veritable mine of rich and scholarly information’ on the Balkans – and Serbia and Bulgaria in particular – hence, ‘no attempt at summarizing this achievement can do it credit’ (Todorova, 2009 [1997]: 71).

Tis paper focuses on the interplay between the political regime, musical life in Bulgaria, and the status of Bulgarian composers. Many books, articles, conferences and PhDs have been presented recently in the feld of cultural studies, promoting a multidisciplinary approach in several felds. A new approach tothis dynamic period would clarify the overall development of Bulgarian musical culture in the twentieth century. Keywords: music, political aspects, Bulgaria, history of the twentieth century, Bulgarian composers Introduction This article focuses on the interplay between the political regime, musical life in Bulgaria and the status of Bulgarian composers between 1944 and 1989. My interest in the history and problems of Bulgarian composers and specifically in the politicization of music during the period of totalitarian rule in Bulgaria (1944–1989) stems from the early days of my musical career and my childhood. Music written by Bulgarian composers has significantly influenced me over the period of my formal education.

  • Letters from Vidin: a Study of Ottoman Governmentality and Politics of Local Administration, 1864-1877
    LETTERS FROM VIDIN: A STUDY OF OTTOMAN GOVERNMENTALITY AND POLITICS OF LOCAL ADMINISTRATION, 1864-1877 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Mehmet Safa Saracoglu ***** The Ohio State University 2007 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Carter Vaughn Findley, Adviser Professor Jane Hathaway ______________________ Professor Kenneth Andrien Adviser History Graduate Program Copyright by Mehmet Safa Saracoglu 2007 ABSTRACT This dissertation focuses on the local administrative practices in Vidin County during 1860s and 1870s. Vidin County, as defined by the Ottoman Provincial Regulation of 1864, is the area that includes the districts of Vidin (the administrative center), ‛Adliye (modern-day Kula), Belgradcık (Belogradchik), Berkofça (Bergovitsa), İvraca (Vratsa), Rahova (Rahovo), and Lom (Lom), all of which are located in modern-day Bulgaria. My focus is mostly on the post-1864 period primarily due to the document utilized for this dissertation: the copy registers of the county administrative council in Vidin. Doing a close reading of these copy registers together with other primary and secondary sources this dissertation analyzes the politics of local administration in Vidin as a case study to understand the Ottoman governmentality in the second half of the nineteenth century. The main thesis of this study contends that the local inhabitants of Vidin effectively used the institutional framework of local administration ii in this period of transformation in order to devise strategies that served their interests. This work distances itself from an understanding of the nineteenth-century local politics as polarized between a dominating local government trying to impose unprecedented reforms designed at the imperial center on the one hand, and an oppressed but nevertheless resistant people, rebelling against the insensitive policies of the state on the other.

    A COMPARISON OF PETAR CHRISTOSKOV’S OP. 1 AND OP. 24 CAPRICES FOR SOLO VIOLIN: THE EFFECT OF THE CHANGING BULGARIAN POLITICAL CLIMATE ON HIS COMPOSITIONAL STYLE Veronika Vassileva, B.M., M.M., D.M.A. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2016 APPROVED: Susan Dubois, Major Professor Paul Leenhouts, Related-Field Professor Julia Bushkova, Committee Member Benjamin Brand, Director of Graduate Studies in the College of Music James Scott, Dean of the College of Music Costas Tsatsoulis, Dean of Toulouse Graduate School Vassileva, Veronika. A Comparison of Petar Christoskov’s Op. 1 and Op. 24 Caprices for Solo Violin: The Effect of the Changing Bulgarian Political Climate on his Compositional Style. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), May 2016, 111 pp., 11 figures, references, 49 titles. The goal of this document is to compare and contrast the two sets of Caprices for Solo Violin, Op. 1 and Op. 24, by investigating the development of Petar Christoskov's compositional style. I will argue that the constantly-changing political systems in twentieth-century Bulgaria had a direct impact on the composer's artistic output. After a historical overview of Bulgaria's music and political background, the two sets of caprices will be compared and contrasted by focusing on technical, musical, and sociological similarities and differences. In order to illustrate these similarities and differences, three caprices from each set will be selected and analyzed, as well as compared and contrasted with each other. The second part of the document will discuss the negative influence of the political climate on music and printing, with a focus on the difficulties of preserving Bulgarian culture itself.

  • The Magic of Belgrade – a City Where Heritage Meets the Modern1
    The Magic of Belgrade – A City Where Heritage Meets the Modern1 Ljiljana Markovic, University of Belgrade, Serbia Biljana Djoric Francuski, University of Belgrade, Serbia Bosko Francuski, University of Belgrade, Serbia The IAFOR Conference on Heritage & the City – New York 2018 Official Conference Proceedings Abstract The capital of Serbia, Belgrade, is a city with a lengthy history dating back to the seventh millennium BC. In the third century BC the Celts named it Singidunum, whereas since the ninth century AD it has been known as Beligrad, meaning The White City. Strategically located on the crossroad between the Occident and the Orient, between the Pannonian Valley and the Balkans, at the confluence of the Danube and the Sava River, this city, in which heritage meets the modern, is also the meeting point of influences from West and East. The city has been depicted by many authors, both Serbian and foreign, but among these literary works stands out the oeuvre of Momo Kapor, who devoted his whole life to writing about and painting scenes of life in Belgrade. Kapor was well known and successful both as a painter, having exhibited his work in renowned galleries in Serbia and abroad, and as a writer, since his forty-odd novels and short story collections are bestsellers in Serbia and have been translated into dozens of foreign languages. In The Magic of Belgrade, Momo Kapor does not only describe the monuments and people of this beautiful city, he even searches for what he calls ‘the spirit of Belgrade’. The purpose of this paper is to pinpoint such elements of Kapor’s work that capture the spirit of the place by reflecting, on the one hand, its heritage and, on the other, its urban growth which has resulted in its modernity.
