The Festival is a good example of how the Smithsonian American Folklife. can reach large audiences in an educational and enter- taining way. As its organizers are fond of saying, though, the Festival is also much more than occurs on the National Mall. Over the past decade the Festival has generated more than a dozen television documentaries, a score of Smithsonian Folkways recordings, learning guides for schools in several countries and various regions of the United States. And now we have the Virtual Festival on our World Wide Web pages (at www.si.edu/folklife/vfest). Our course is clear. We must use modern mass media to communicate the value of cultural traditions while maintaining our values as scholars and educators. Our "ratings" are measured by how successfully we can reach the broadest number of people and thus realize our original mission to increase and diffuse knowledge.

  • Tuareg Music and Capitalist Reckonings in Niger a Dissertation Submitted
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Rhythms of Value: Tuareg Music and Capitalist Reckonings in Niger A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnomusicology by Eric James Schmidt 2018 © Copyright by Eric James Schmidt 2018 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Rhythms of Value: Tuareg Music and Capitalist Reckonings in Niger by Eric James Schmidt Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnomusicology University of California, Los Angeles, 2018 Professor Timothy D. Taylor, Chair This dissertation examines how Tuareg people in Niger use music to reckon with their increasing but incomplete entanglement in global neoliberal capitalism. I argue that a variety of social actors—Tuareg musicians, fans, festival organizers, and government officials, as well as music producers from Europe and North America—have come to regard Tuareg music as a resource by which to realize economic, political, and other social ambitions. Such treatment of culture-as-resource is intimately linked to the global expansion of neoliberal capitalism, which has led individual and collective subjects around the world to take on a more entrepreneurial nature by exploiting representations of their identities for a variety of ends. While Tuareg collective identity has strongly been tied to an economy of pastoralism and caravan trade, the contemporary moment demands a reimagining of what it means to be, and to survive as, Tuareg. Since the 1970s, cycles of drought, entrenched poverty, and periodic conflicts have pushed more and more Tuaregs to pursue wage labor in cities across northwestern Africa or to work as trans- ii Saharan smugglers; meanwhile, tourism expanded from the 1980s into one of the region’s biggest industries by drawing on pastoralist skills while capitalizing on strategic essentialisms of Tuareg culture and identity.

  • Alternate African Reality. Electronic, Electroacoustic and Experimental Music from Africa and the Diaspora
    Alternate African Reality, cover for the digital release by Cedrik Fermont, 2020. Alternate African Reality. Electronic, electroacoustic and experimental music from Africa and the diaspora. Introduction and critique. "Always use the word ‘Africa’ or ‘Darkness’ or ‘Safari’ in your title. Subtitles may include the words ‘Zanzibar’, ‘Masai’, ‘Zulu’, ‘Zambezi’, ‘Congo’, ‘Nile’, ‘Big’, ‘Sky’, ‘Shadow’, ‘Drum’, ‘Sun’ or ‘Bygone’. Also useful are words such as ‘Guerrillas’, ‘Timeless’, ‘Primordial’ and ‘Tribal’. Note that ‘People’ means Africans who are not black, while ‘The People’ means black Africans. Never have a picture of a well-adjusted African on the cover of your book, or in it, unless that African has won the Nobel Prize. An AK-47, prominent ribs, naked breasts: use these. If you must include an African, make sure you get one in Masai or Zulu or Dogon dress." – Binyavanga Wainaina (1971-2019). © Binyavanga Wainaina, 2005. Originally published in Granta 92, 2005. Photo taken in the streets of Maputo, Mozambique by Cedrik Fermont, 2018. "Africa – the dark continent of the tyrants, the beautiful girls, the bizarre rituals, the tropical fruits, the pygmies, the guns, the mercenaries, the tribal wars, the unusual diseases, the abject poverty, the sumptuous riches, the widespread executions, the praetorian colonialists, the exotic wildlife - and the music." (extract from the booklet of Extreme Music from Africa (Susan Lawly, 1997). Whether intended as prank, provocation or patronisation or, who knows, all of these at once, producer William Bennett's fake African compilation Extreme Music from Africa perfectly fits the African clichés that Binyavanga Wainaina described in his essay How To Write About Africa : the concept, the cover, the lame references, the stereotypical drawing made by Trevor Brown..

  • Festival of American Folklife : July 1-4, 1967
    Smithsonian Institution Festival of American Folklife 1 1 % 1 1 1 SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION FESTIVAL OF AMERICAN FOLKLIFE JULY 1-4, 1967 SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION FESTIVAL OF AMERICAN FOLKLIFE July 1-4, 1967 America's grass roots culture provides abundant material for the four-day Festival of American Folklife presented by the Smithsonian Institution on the National Mall over the July 4th weekend. More than doubling previous peak attendance at the Smithsonian for this holiday weekend, the first program in July, 1967 attracted 431,000 spectators, according to National Park Service figures. The exceptional public response to this first event has lead the Smithsonian to establish the Festival as an annual Independence Day tribute to our folk heritage. Fifty-eight traditional craftsmen and thirty-two musical and dance groups from throughout the United States demonstrated and performed at the first open-air event. Mountain banjo-pickers and ballad singers, Chinese lion fighters, Indian sand painters, basket and rug weavers, New Orleans jazz bands and a Bohemian hammer-dulcimer band from east Texas combined with the host of participants from many rural and urban areas of our country to weave the colorful fabric of American traditional culture. The entire event was free to the public, the expense of the production having been borne by the Smithsonian aided by numerous civic and cultural organizations, business enterprises and State Arts Councils. It marks the inception of a fresh attempt at the evaluation, documentation and celebration of this heretofore unrecognized area of vigorous American expression. Most of the traditions have survived from the era of pre-industrial society whose ways have all but disappeared from the American scene with the advent of mass media and rapid transportation.

Acknowledgements It is with the utmost gratitude that I thank my brother, the anthropologist Ruy Blanes for his unwavering support, sympathetic guidance and most of all, his humor. His knowledge was a lifeline, for I could always count on his informed opinion, but his greatest aid was in letting me make my own mistakes, and then hinting at various ways to resolve them. It showed me that he was convinced that I was capable of finding my way out of the dead ends, and would overcome the trials and tribulations of writing a thesis. Thank you for believing in me, my brother. To my dear advisor, professor João Soeiro de Carvalho, I have nothing but words of gratitude.
