    To Play Jewish Again: Roots, Counterculture, and the Klezmer Revival Claire Marissa Gogan Thesis submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts In History David P. Cline, Co-Chair Brett L. Shadle, Co-Chair Rachel B. Gross 4 May 2016 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: Identity, Klezmer, Jewish, 20th Century, Folk Revival Copyright 2016 by Claire M. Gogan To Play Jewish Again: Roots, Counterculture, and the Klezmer Revival Claire Gogan ABSTRACT Klezmer, a type of Eastern European Jewish secular music brought to the United States in the late 19th and early 20th century, originally functioned as accompaniment to Jewish wedding ritual celebrations. In the late 1970s, a group of primarily Jewish musicians sought inspiration for a renewal of this early 20th century American klezmer by mining 78 rpm records for influence, and also by seeking out living klezmer musicians as mentors. Why did a group of Jewish musicians in the 1970s through 1990s want to connect with artists and recordings from the early 20th century in order to “revive” this music? What did the music “do” for them and how did it contribute to their senses of both individual and collective identity? How did these musicians perceive the relationship between klezmer, Jewish culture, and Jewish religion? Finally, how was the genesis for the klezmer revival related to the social and cultural climate of its time? I argue that Jewish folk musicians revived klezmer music in the 1970s as a manifestation of both an existential search for authenticity, carrying over from the 1960s counterculture, and a manifestation of a 1970s trend toward ethnic cultural revival.

  • "Who's Right? Whose Rite? American, German Or Israeli Views of Dance" by Judith Brin Ingber
    Title in Hebrew: "Nikuudot mabat amerikiyot, germaniyot ve-yisraliot al ma<h>ol: masa aishi be'ekvot ha-hetpat<h>ot ha-ma<h>olha-moderni ve-haammami be-yisrael" m --- eds. Henia Rottenbergand Dina Roginsky, Dance Discourse in Israel, published by Resling, Tel Aviv, Israel in200J "Who's Right? Whose Rite? American, German or Israeli Views of Dance" By Judith Brin Ingber The crux of dance writing, history, criticism, research, teaching and performance of course is the dance itself. Unwittingly I became involved in all of these many facetsof dance when I came from the US forfive months and stayed in Israel forfive years (1972-77). None of these facetswere clear cut and the diamond I thought I treasured and knew how to look at and teach had far more complexity, influences with boundaries blending differently than I had thought. Besides, what I had been taught as to how modem dance developed or what were differencesbetween types of dance had different bearings in this new country. My essay will synthesize dance informationand personal experiences including comments on Jewish identity while reporting on the ascension of modem dance and folkdance in Israel. It was only later as I began researching and writing about theatre dance and its development in Israel, that I came to realize as important were the living dance traditions in Jewish eydot (communities) and the relatively recent history of the creation of new Israeli folkdances. I came to see dance styles and personalities interacting in a much more profoundand influential way than I had ever expected. I was a studio trained ballet dancer, my teachers Ballets Russes alums Anna Adrianova and Lorand Andahazy; added to that, I studied modem dance at SarahLawrence College in New York.

  • A Stylistic Analysis of Honest Deception: the Case of ‘Seinfeld TV Series’ Sitcom
    A Stylistic Analysis of Honest Deception: The Case of ‘Seinfeld TV Series’ Sitcom A paper submitted to the department of English in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of License in English (Major: Linguistics) Academic year: 2019-2020 by Mohcine EL BAROUDI Hassan II University, Casablanca, Morocco [email protected] [email protected] Supervisor Moulay Sadik Maliki Hassan II University, Casablanca, Morocco [email protected] Abstract Language is a powerful tool if used in the correct manner. It is the major mode of communication, and using the correct choice of words and styles can serve to have a long-lasting impact. Stylistics is the study of the use of various language styles in communication to pass a message with a bigger impact or to communicate indirectly. Stylistic analysis, therefore, is the study of the use of linguistic styles in texts to determine how a style has been used, what is communicated and how it is communicated. Honest deception is the use of a choice of words to imply something different from the literal meaning. A person listening or reading a text where honest deception has been used and with a literal understanding may completely miss out on the point. This is because the issue of honesty and falsehood arises. However, it would be better to understand that honest deception is used with the intention of having a lasting impact rather than to deceive the readers, viewers or listeners. The major styles used in honest deception are hyperboles, litotes, irony and sarcasm. The Seinfeld Sitcom TV series was a situational TV comedy show aired from 1990 to 1998.

  • Ask the Expert: Bush's 'Seinfeld' Strategy Michael
    Ask the expert: Bush’s ‘Seinfeld’ strategy Michael Fullilove Financial Times www.ft.com 5 April 2007 “In recent times US grand strategy has been guided by a new kind of doctrine, named after not its author but its exemplar: the Costanza doctrine”, writes Michael Fullilove, director of the global issues programme at the Lowy Institute for International Policy in Sydney. “This doctrine”, argues Mr Fullilove, “recalls the classic episode of the TV comedy Seinfeld, “The Opposite”, in which George Costanza temporarily improves his fortunes by rejecting all the principles according to which he has lived his life and doing the opposite of what his training indicates he should do.” Mr Fullilove believes that the Iraq policy pursued by the Bush administration satisfies the Costanza criterion because it is the opposite of every foreign policy the world has ever met. “The Costanza doctrine is all about hope“, he writes, “but when it comes to making your way, in New York or the world, experience is the better guide.” FT.com readers were invited to post their questions on Bush the Costanza doctrine to Mr Fullilove. He answers appear below. ............................................................................................................................................ Q: Isn’t it more accurate to equate the Bush Administration’s Iraq policy to the Seinfeld episode (The Pez Dispenser) where George Costanza needed a hand in his relationship with women? George Bush thought an easy win in Iraq would give the US the upper hand with North Korea and Iran. Instead, the failures in Iraq have left the US, like George Costanza, with no hand at all. Ray Betzner, Philadelphia, US Michael Fullilove: There’s no question that for the ultra-conservatives even more than the neo- conservatives, one of the attractions of the Iraq war was the demonstration effect it would supposedly have.
