During these next three days together, we will have many opportunities to share time in fellowship, prayer, and Christian unity. We are honored to welcome His Eminence Metropolitan Elpidophoros of Bursa to FDF for the first time. Metropolitan Elpidophoros is the Abbot of the Holy Patriarchal and Stavropegial Monastery of the Holy Trinity on the island of Halki, and is also the Dean of the Halki Theological School, which was forcibly closed by the Turkish government over 42 years ago. Metropolitan Elpidophoros has been a strong voice for the reopening of this important theological institution and for the religious freedom of the Ecumenical Patriarchate. His Eminence Metropolitan Nikitas of the Dardanelles will also be visiting FDF for the first time. Metropolitan Nikitas previously served as the first Metropolitan of Hong Kong from 1997 – 2007. He grew up as a dancer in Tarpon Springs, Florida, and he has tremendous knowledge, respect and love for the preservation and perpetuation of our Hellenic culture. Metropolitan Nikitas presently serves as the Director of the Patriarch Athenagoras Orthodox Institute in Berkeley, CA. The presence of these two distinguished hierarchs underscores our connection to the Ecumenical Patriarchate as the foundation of our faith and culture, which are essential to our spiritual development and witness to the world. It is now up to us to connect our faith with our actions so that all that we do emulates a holy Orthodox Christian life. Walking in the light of Christ and following His commandments is not always an easy road, but it is one with everlasting rewards. Let us strive to connect our Orthodox Christian values to all aspects of our lives and allow God to work in us and through us so that we may be instruments for His glory! With Love in Christ, Metropolitan Gerasimos of San Francisco 2 3 Welcome to our Guest Hierarchs! His Eminence Metropolitan of Bursa and Exarch of Bithynia was born in 1967 in Bakirköy, Istan- bul.

BODIES IN THE MARGINS Refiguring the Rebetika as Literature Sophia Schlesinger Faculty Advisor: Andrea Kaston-Tange Macalester English Department Submitted April 25th, 2020 Abstract This thesis engages a literary analysis of a corpus of songs and recordings known as the rebetika (sing. rebetiko), which prospered in the port districts of major cities throughout the Aegean in the early 20th century. Engaging the rebetika as literary texts, I argue, helps us understand how they have functioned as a kind of pressure point on the borders between nation and Other. Without making unproveable biographical claims about the motives of the music progenitors, I examine why so many have reached for the rebetika as texts with which to articulate various political and cultural desires. Using a multidisciplinary theoretical framework that includes Elaine Scarry, Stuart Hall, Edward Said, Mark C.

  • IN1RODUCTION As the Sacred Ship Sailed Back from Delos, Nearing
    IN1RODUCTION As the sacred ship sailed back from Delos, nearing Athens and bringing with it the time for Socrates' death, his lifelong friend Crito begged him to take the opportunity for an easy and safe escape. To his entreaties Socrates replied with one of history's most famous as well as most moving philosophical arguments. Dismissing all other considerations, he focused on the sheer rightness of the act-a category which, in this dialogue at least, is understood solely in terms of what to a Greek was a still more basic category, that of covenant or, more generally.promising. How, he asked Crito, could he reply if the Laws of Athens were to remind him that he had agreed to be governed by them in deed as well as in word? They would say of his plan to escape: You are breaking your covenants and agreements with us, which you made under no compulsion and undeceived. You were not compelled to decide quickly, but you had seventy years in which you could have gone away if you did not like us, or if the agreements did not seem to you just. But you did not prefer Lacedaemon or Crete, which you always declare to be under good laws, nor any other city, Hellenic or barbarian; but you were less out of town than the lame or the blind or others who are maimed: you, so much more remarkably than the other Athenians, like the city and us, the Laws-as is clear, for what city could please without laws? And now, then, will you not abide by your agreements? You will if you obey us, Socrates; do not make yourself ridiculous by leaving the city.

  • Music in Conflict: Palestine, Israel, and the Politics of Aesthetic Production
    Music in Conflict: Palestine, Israel, and the Politics of Aesthetic Production Nili Belkind Submitted in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree Of Doctor of Philosophy In the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Nili Belkind All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Music in Conflict: Palestine, Israel and the Politics of Aesthetic Production Nili Belkind This is an ethnographic study of the fraught and complex cultural politics of music making in Palestine-Israel in the context of the post-Oslo era. I examine the politics of sound and the ways in which music making and attached discourses reflect and constitute identities, and also, contextualize political action. Ethical and aesthetic positions that shape contemporary artistic production in Israel-Palestine are informed by profound imbalances of power between the State (Israel), the stateless (Palestinians of the occupied Palestinian territories), the complex positioning of Israel’s Palestinian minority, and contingent exposure to ongoing political violence. Cultural production in this period is also profoundly informed by highly polarized sentiments and retreat from the expressive modes of relationality that accompanied the 1990s peace process, strategic shifts in the Palestinian struggle for liberation, which is increasingly taking place on the world stage through diplomatic and cultural work, and the conceptual life and currency Palestine has gained as an entity deserving of statehood around the world. The ethnography attends to how the conflict is lived and expressed, musically and discursively, in both Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories (oPt) of the West Bank, encompassing different sites, institutions and individuals. I examine the ways in which music making and attached discourses reflect and constitute identities, with the understanding that musical culture is a sphere in which power and hegemony are asserted, negotiated and resisted through shifting relations between and within different groups.

  • Marginality--A Key Concept to Understanding the Resurgence of Rebetiko in Turkey
    Marginality—A Key Concept to Understanding the Resurgence of Rebetiko in Turkey DANIEL KOGLIN In the following pages, I want to compare some of the ways people in Greece and Turkey today understand and use the label “rebetiko,” which denotes a type of Greek popular or “urban folk” song recorded mainly during the first half of the twentieth century. While in Greece the music that is now commonly called rebetiko has always delighted numerous fans, it has over the past two decades also gained in popularity on the opposite side of the Aegean Sea. Turkish listeners have, however, not only adopted the Greek notion of rebetiko—i.e., a specific internal representation of the attributes shared by a complex of songs—but they have also adapted it to their own cultural environment. The aim of my essay is to show that an investigation into this matter can contribute to a revision of current views on rebetiko, which thus far has been examined primarily in the light of theories deriving from Greek intellectual debates. From the study of record labels it can safely be inferred that by the beginning of the twentieth century the term “rebetiko” was already current among the Greek-speaking population of cities within the Ottoman Empire, although it is unclear in which sense it was used.1 Since then, however, Greek journalists, musicians, scholars, record producers, and other authorities have applied the term with some inconsistency to songs that differ considerably in terms of melodic properties, the content and style of their lyrics, or the manner of performance.
