Abstract The combination of music and disaster has been the subject of much study, especially star- studded telethons and songs that commemorate tragedy. However, there are many other ways that music can be used after disaster that provide benefits far greater than money or memorials but are not necessarily as prominent in the worldwide media landscape. Beginning in September 2010, the city of Christchurch, New Zealand, has been struck by several major earthquakes and over 11,000 aftershocks, the most destructive of which caused 185 deaths. As with many other disasters, music has been used as a method of fundraising and commemoration, but personal experience suggests many other ways that music can be used as a coping mechanism and aid to personal and community recovery. Therefore, in order to uncover the connections, context, and strategies behind its use, this thesis addresses the question: Since the earthquakes began, how has popular music been beneficial for the city and people of Christchurch? As well as documenting a wide variety of musical ‘earthquake relief’ events and charitable releases, this research also explores some of the more intangible aspects of the music-aid relationship. Two central themes are presented – fundraising and psychosocial uses – utilising individual voices and case studies to illustrate the benefits of music use after disaster at a community or city-wide level. Together the disparate threads and story fragments weave a detailed picture of the ways in which music as shared experience, as text, as commodity, and as a tool for memory and movement has been incorporated into the fabric of the city during the recovery phase. iv 1: Street art, Christchurch A YouTube playlist has been compiled to accompany this research (full text link and playlist details are in Appendix 1): Click here to launch: More Than A Band-Aid - thesis playlist v List of Illustrations All photographs taken by the author, in Christchurch, New Zealand, unless otherwise noted. 1: STREET ART, CHRISTCHURCH .......................................................................................................................

  • Performing Blackness in the Danza De Caporales
    Roper, Danielle. 2019. Blackface at the Andean Fiesta: Performing Blackness in the Danza de Caporales. Latin American Research Review 54(2), pp. 381–397. DOI: https://doi.org/10.25222/larr.300 OTHER ARTS AND HUMANITIES Blackface at the Andean Fiesta: Performing Blackness in the Danza de Caporales Danielle Roper University of Chicago, US [email protected] This study assesses the deployment of blackface in a performance of the Danza de Caporales at La Fiesta de la Virgen de la Candelaria in Puno, Peru, by the performance troupe Sambos Illimani con Sentimiento y Devoción. Since blackface is so widely associated with the nineteenth- century US blackface minstrel tradition, this article develops the concept of “hemispheric blackface” to expand common understandings of the form. It historicizes Sambos’ deployment of blackface within an Andean performance tradition known as the Tundique, and then traces the way multiple hemispheric performance traditions can converge in a single blackface act. It underscores the amorphous nature of blackface itself and critically assesses its role in producing anti-blackness in the performance. Este ensayo analiza el uso de “blackface” (literalmente, cara negra: término que designa el uso de maquillaje negro cubriendo un rostro de piel más pálida) en la Danza de Caporales puesta en escena por el grupo Sambos Illimani con Sentimiento y Devoción que tuvo lugar en la fiesta de la Virgen de la Candelaria en Puno, Perú. Ya que el “blackface” es frecuentemente asociado a una tradición estadounidense del siglo XIX, este artículo desarrolla el concepto de “hemispheric blackface” (cara-negra hemisférica) para dar cuenta de elementos comunes en este género escénico.

  • New Zealand Architecture Awards 2015 Canterbury
    New Zealand Architecture Awards 2015 Canterbury Introduction Architecture is driven by concept and necessity; by insistent and thorough ideas integral to the design as a whole; by forms and details intelligently articu- lated by those involved in the realisation of the built idea. The fulfillment of the idea enables the fulfillment of necessity. In the built environment therefore, quality of ideas is what sets good architecture apart. To produce good architecture, architects need the commitment of sympathetic collaborators – clients, consultants, contractors, councils – and the skill to manage those relationships well, especially in an environment such as post-quake Canterbury. Architects working in Christchurch have been challenged. Opportunity has been partnered with frustration. To call the amount of construction happening in Christchurch considerable is of course an understatement. A record number of entries were received this year covering all parts of the city and greater Canterbury. Yet one thing that struck the jury was the number of projects that had been initiated prior to the earthquakes, and how architects had been required to reimagine their work while negotiating significantly changed conditions, navigating a quite different course to completion. To develop a design and see it through such altered circumstances and still produce a meaningful building takes skill, patience, and perseverance. The awards celebrate the architects, their clients and collaborators in Canterbury who have excelled under these conditions. Tim Nees Jury Convenor NZIA Canterbury Branch The Awards Programme Programme The Awards Each year since 1927, the New Zealand Institute of Architects has offered an awards programme that presents high quality architecture in New Zealand.
