Saha çalışması yöntemiyle elde edilen veriler doğrultusunda Zöhre Ana’nın hayatı, dergahı ve eserleri çalışmanın temelini teşkil etmektedir. Dergimizde ikinci sırada yer alan ve Abdullah Acehan tarafından kaleme alınan çalışma “Mahmut Dikerdem- Orhan Veli ve Yaprak Dergisi Üzerine” adını taşımaktadır. Yazar, Orhan Veli ve Mahmut Dikerdem tarafından büyük gayretler sonucu yayın dünyasına kazandırılan Yaprak dergisinin yayın hayatına başlama serüvenini ve edebiyat dünyası üzerinde bıraktığı izleri ele alıp değerlendirmiştir. Üçüncü sırada yer alan Ali Osman Abdurrezak’ın “Üretim ve Tüketim Kültürü Açısından Müzik Kimliğinin Psiko-Sosyal ve Mitolojik Temelleri” adlı çalışması ise multidisipliner bir çalışma olup müziğin bir bilim dalı olmadan önce ilkel toplumlardaki yerinden, müziğin kutsal bir sesleniş ve iletişim aracı olduğundan bahseder. Çalışmanın giriş bölümünde, müzik kavramının geniş bir tanımı yapılmış ve yazının devamında müziğin toplumsal kimliğin inşası üzerindeki etkilerine değinmiştir. Dördüncü sırada yer alan, Lord Raglan’ın “Geleneksel Kahraman Kalıbı”ndan Hareketle “Maadaya Kara” Destanında Eski Türk Kültüründen İzler” isimli çalışma Sibel Turhan Tuna tarafından kaleme alınmıştır. Raglan’ın 22 maddelik kahraman kalıbı esas alınarak Maaday Kara destanının değerlendirilmesine dayanan çalışmada söz konusu destanın 7 madde ile Ragalan’ın 22 maddelik kahraman kalıbıyla örtüştüğü tespit edilmiştir. Madde sayısının 7 ile sınırlı olmasında bir milletin gerek kültürel gerekse tarihsel geçmişinin göz önünde bulundurulması gerektiği de vurgulanmıştır. Beşinci çalışma, Ruben Diaz de Grenu Marco tarafından kaleme alınmış “Müzikal Sinema: Dans ve Koreografinin Belgesel Arşivi” isimli yazıdır. Metinde müzikal sinemanın dans arşivciliği üzerindeki önemine değinilmiştir Altıncı çalışma, Miriam Balaguer’in “Fırçanın Dansı, Bedenin Kaligrafisi: Çin ve Japon Geleneksel Kültüründe Kaligrafi ve Dans Arasındaki İlişkiye Bir Yaklaşım” isimli çalışmasına aittir.

  • Song, State, Sawa Music and Political Radio Between the US and Syria
    Song, State, Sawa Music and Political Radio between the US and Syria Beau Bothwell Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 © 2013 Beau Bothwell All rights reserved ABSTRACT Song, State, Sawa: Music and Political Radio between the US and Syria Beau Bothwell This dissertation is a study of popular music and state-controlled radio broadcasting in the Arabic-speaking world, focusing on Syria and the Syrian radioscape, and a set of American stations named Radio Sawa. I examine American and Syrian politically directed broadcasts as multi-faceted objects around which broadcasters and listeners often differ not only in goals, operating assumptions, and political beliefs, but also in how they fundamentally conceptualize the practice of listening to the radio. Beginning with the history of international broadcasting in the Middle East, I analyze the institutional theories under which music is employed as a tool of American and Syrian policy, the imagined youths to whom the musical messages are addressed, and the actual sonic content tasked with political persuasion. At the reception side of the broadcaster-listener interaction, this dissertation addresses the auditory practices, histories of radio, and theories of music through which listeners in the sonic environment of Damascus, Syria create locally relevant meaning out of music and radio. Drawing on theories of listening and communication developed in historical musicology and ethnomusicology, science and technology studies, and recent transnational ethnographic and media studies, as well as on theories of listening developed in the Arabic public discourse about popular music, my dissertation outlines the intersection of the hypothetical listeners defined by the US and Syrian governments in their efforts to use music for political ends, and the actual people who turn on the radio to hear the music.

  • Zvidance DABKE
    presents ZviDance Sunday, July 12-Tuesday, July 14 at 8:00pm Reynolds Industries Theater Performance: 50 minutes, no intermission DABKE (2012) Choreography: Zvi Gotheiner in collaboration with the dancers Original Score by: Scott Killian with Dabke music by Ali El Deek Lighting Design: Mark London Costume Design: Reid Bartelme Assistant Costume Design: Guy Dempster Dancers: Chelsea Ainsworth, Todd Allen, Alex Biegelson, Kuan Hui Chew, Tyner Dumortier, Samantha Harvey, Ying-Ying Shiau, Robert M. Valdez, Jr. Company Manager: Jacob Goodhart Executive Director: Nikki Chalas A few words from Zvi about the creation of DABKE: The idea of creating a contemporary dance piece based on a Middle Eastern folk dance revealed itself in a Lebanese restaurant in Stockholm, Sweden. My Israeli partner and a Lebanese waiter became friendly and were soon dancing the Dabke between tables. While patrons cheered, I remained still, transfixed, all the while envisioning this as material for a new piece. Dabke (translated from Arabic as "stomping of the feet") is a traditional folk dance and is now the national dance of Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, and Palestine. Israelis have their own version. It is a line dance often performed at weddings, holidays, and community celebrations. The dance strongly references solidarity, and traditionally only men participated. The dancers, linked by hands or shoulders, stomp the ground with complex rhythms, emphasizing their connection to the land. While the group keeps rhythm, the leader, called Raas (meaning "head"), improvises on pre-choreographed movement phrases. He also twirls a handkerchief or string of beads known as a Masbha. When I was a child and teenager growing up in a Kibbutz in northern Israel, Friday nights were folk dance nights.

  • Engagement: Coptic Christian Revival and the Performative Politics of Song
    THE POLITICS OF (DIS)ENGAGEMENT: COPTIC CHRISTIAN REVIVAL AND THE PERFORMATIVE POLITICS OF SONG by CAROLYN M. RAMZY A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Music University of Toronto © Copyright by Carolyn Ramzy (2014) Abstract The Performative Politics of (Dis)Engagment: Coptic Christian Revival and the Performative Politics of Song Carolyn M. Ramzy A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Music, University of Toronto 2014 This dissertation explores Coptic Orthodox political (dis)engagement through song, particularly as it is expressed through the colloquial Arabic genre of taratil. Through ethnographic and archival research, I assess the genre's recurring tropes of martyrdom, sacrifice, willful withdrawal, and death as emerging markers of community legitimacy and agency in Egypt's political landscape before and following the January 25th uprising in 2011. Specifically, I explore how Copts actively perform as well as sing a pious and modern citizenry through negations of death and a heavenly afterlife. How do they navigate the convergences and contradictions of belonging to a nation as minority Christian citizens among a Muslim majority while feeling that they have little real civic agency? Through a number of case studies, I trace the discursive logics of “modernizing” religion into easily tangible practices of belonging to possess a heavenly as well as an earthly nation. I begin with Sunday Schools in the predominately Christian and middle-class neighborhood of Shubra where educators made the poetry of the late Coptic Patriarch, Pope Shenouda III, into taratil and drew on their potentials of death and withdrawal to reform a Christian moral interiority and to teach a modern and pious Coptic citizenry.

  • Habibi - a Multi Dialect Multi National Arabic Song Lyrics Corpus
    Proceedings of the 12th Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC 2020), pages 1318–1326 Marseille, 11–16 May 2020 c European Language Resources Association (ELRA), licensed under CC-BY-NC Habibi - a multi Dialect multi National Arabic Song Lyrics Corpus Mahmoud El-Haj School of Computing and Communications Lancaster University United Kingdom [email protected] Abstract This paper introduces Habibi the first Arabic Song Lyrics corpus. The corpus comprises more than 30,000 Arabic song lyrics in 6 Arabic dialects for singers from 18 different Arabic countries. The lyrics are segmented into more than 500,000 sentences (song verses) with more than 3.5 million words. I provide the corpus in both comma separated value (csv) and annotated plain text (txt) file formats. In addition, I converted the csv version into JavaScript Object Notation (json) and eXtensible Markup Language (xml) file formats. To experiment with the corpus I run extensive binary and multi-class experiments for dialect and country-of-origin identification. The identification tasks include the use of several classical machine learning and deep learning models utilising different word embeddings. For the binary dialect identification task the best performing classifier achieved a testing accuracy of 93%. This was achieved using a word-based Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) utilising a Continuous Bag of Words (CBOW) word embeddings model. The results overall show all classical and deep learning models to outperform our baseline, which demonstrates the suitability of the corpus for both dialect and country-of-origin identification tasks. I am making the corpus and the trained CBOW word embeddings freely available for research purposes.

  • 47Soul: Balfron Promise Review – High-Energy Shamstep and Cheerful Protest Tunes
    47Soul: Balfron Promise review – high-energy shamstep and cheerful protest tunes Robin Denselow Jan 25, 2018 There has long been a link between music and resistance in Palestine, with hip-hop playing a major role in recent years. The best known exponents, DAM, are still angry and active (their new single – a treatment of Jerusalem – begins with the Blake/Parry anthem and veers off into a furious rap reaction to US president Donald Trump’s policies) but the band likely to have more crossover appeal in the UK are their label colleagues 47Soul. Formed in Jordan five years ago, with members from Palestine and Jordan, they specialise in a style they call shamstep, a cheerfully wide-screen fusion of electronic hip-hop and traditional dabke dance music, mixed in with a dash of reggae, with sturdy melodies and chanting vocals from the four singers. They play synthesisers, drum machines, guitars and Arabic percussion, and are impressive live performers, as they proved at 2016’s Womad. This is high-energy music with a message that’s delivered in both Arabic and English. For the last two years, they have been living in London, and their first full-length album is a reflection on problems in the UK as well as the Middle East. Balfron Promise (Cooking Vinyl) refers in part to the Balfour Declaration, just over a century ago, and also to the Balfron Tower in Tower Hamlets, where they once lived, and from where longstanding tenants were evicted as the block was gentrified. So the theme of the driving, half-spoken Moved Around or the angry and chanting Mo Light is that of homelessness, on both a national and local level.
