Zane Jansone B. 17/01/82 and Marcis Jansons B. 23/11/85 Transcript of Interview with Judy Caine on 2Nd January 2019 (N.B Zane Jansone b. 17/01/82 and Marcis Jansons b. 23/11/85 Transcript of Interview with Judy Caine on 2nd January 2019 (N.B. – timecode numbers refer to the audio recording) Judy Caine: [00:00:01] We can just ignore this (recorder). Okay. This is Judy Caine, and I am in Corby. How do I say your name correctly? Marcis Jansons: [00:00:12] Martis. Judy Caine: [00:00:13] Martis, OK, Yansons (silent 's')? Marcis Jansons: [00:00:17] Jansons. Judy Caine: [00:00:17] OK so it's a ‘Jay’ not a ‘Yay’. Jansons. I'm with Martis Jansons and Zani Jansons? Zane Jansone: [00:00:24] Jansone (pronounced with ‘ey’ on the end). Judy Caine: [00:00:25] Jansone - masculine and feminine, and it's the 2nd of January 2019. They're both from Latvia and they've kindly agreed to talk to me about Latvian dance and music and all things Latvian. OK just to start ...I'm having great difficulty hearing myself here so bear with me when I find out what is going on ... I'm sounding like I'm down a drain .... I'm just going to ... JUDY SORTS TECHNICAL ISSUE WITH RECORDER … Judy Caine: [00:00:02] OK. Let's go again. Marcis Jansons: [00:00:05] Zane, in that time was living in London. And we both are, we was dancing in different pub dance groups. Zane was dancing in London. I was dancing in Leeds/ Bradford folk dance group. And we met in Brussels on the like final day of that time and we was performing as a big festival in Brussels. And me and Zane met there and after a couple of weeks we, we moved together into Corby. Judy Caine: [00:00:54] What year was that when you met then? Marcis Jansons: [00:00:56] 2015, in June 18th or 17th? Zane Jansone: [00:01:02] 18th. Marcis Jansons: [00:01:03] Yeah, and we moved to the Corby in 2015 - 29th of June - and since then we live in the Corby. She came from London, I came from Bradford. Judy Caine: [00:01:15] Why did you come to the UK from Latvia? Marcis Jansons: [00:01:21] I have end of my first relationship, and I was, wanted something new and my, the rest of the family, my sister and mother was living in the UK already and I needed some changes and I moved to England because I knew the language. I can't go somewhere else and don't speak in that language. Judy Caine: [00:01:44] Did you study English at school? Marcis Jansons: [00:01:46] Yeah, yeah. My main language is Latvian. Then I studied Russians and then I studied English as well. But it was difficult in the first because I moved to the Yorkshire and it was terrible because I was studying English when I was from ten-year-old and I was thinking I'm speaking quite good in English and I understand. But then I moved to the Yorkshire to the Bradford and I was thinking, what the? (Laughs) Judy Caine: [00:02:20] I have trouble understanding it - I lived there for 4 years and I have trouble they don't say water it's watter, they don't say baby it's babby. Marcis Jansons: [00:02:29] Yeah. Judy Caine: [00:02:30] They have a short hard 'a' so don't worry, it's not you! Marcis Jansons: [00:02:33] Yeah, because in Latvia we're not learning English. We are learning American English and that's different. Judy Caine: [00:02:41] Yes that's very, very, very true. So, you've been in the UK since 2015? Marcis Jansons: [00:02:49] No, in the UK I'm living more than nine years. I moved in 2009. Judy Caine: [00:02:55] Right, but you met each other in 2015. Marcis Jansons: [00:02:57] Yeah. In Belgium. Yes. Judy Caine: [00:02:59] In Brussels. What were you doing in Brussels? Marcis Jansons: [00:03:01] We was dancing, the Latvian traditional folk dances. Zane was in the London's dance group and I was in the Bradford's dance group; the oldest folk-dance group in England right now being founded in 1965 I think. Judy Caine: [00:03:22] The one in Bradford. Marcis Jansons: [00:03:23] Yeah. Judy Caine: [00:03:24] Wow. So, when did you start the one in Corby that now meets at Catthorpe Manor? Marcis Jansons: [00:03:33] Because, Latvian community, we're not that big like others, thinking that oh you are so many over here because we are only two millions in the whole world. So, if we are comparing other bigger nations. But, we was, me and Zane, was into all the cultural heritage in the England, Latvian culture since we are more because like I was dancing folk dances since I was five and Zane the same I think in Latvia. So, we love to do that. So, once you move in any country of the world you try to find the same people which is doing the same what you love to do and then yeah, we found out that in the Catthorpe Manor there a Latvian Welfare Trust which is Latvian land which was bought more than 60 years ago around, exactly when we need to find it out. Judy Caine: [00:04:32] I can have a look on-line for that ... Marcis Jansons: [00:04:33] ... and this is Latvian Welfare Trust it's not only in England, the Latvian Welfare Trust is all around the world which was founded after the Second World War because some of the Latvians fled to Sweden, some to Australia, America, England, Germany - it's been all around and we are like just part of it but it's a, we are big part. Internet Research The current manor house was built in 1925 following a fire that burnt the original building to the ground in the early 19th Century. The estate has been owned since 1975 by registered charity ‘The Latvian Welfare Trust’. It is an elegant country manor house set within 22 secluded acres of landscaped gardens, parkland and woodland on the Leicestershire, Northamptonshire and Warwickshire borders. Today Catthorpe Manor is a function venue, conference centre and wedding reception venue. It houses the Latvian Supplementary School, purpose built residential care homes for elderly Latvians and many rooms (large and small) that the Latvian community use for a variety of meetings, celebrations and events. Judy Caine: [00:05:00] So the entire population of Latvia in Latvia is about 2 million. Marcis Jansons: [00:05:04] It's all together in world, it's not only ... Judy Caine: [00:05:06] ... in the world? Marcis Jansons: [00:05:06] Yeah, if you're counting all the peoples in Britain, Germany, also wherever we are. It's on only 2 million. Judy Caine: [00:05:15] So how many Latvians approximately are in the UK, do you know. Marcis Jansons: [00:05:20] Two hundred thousand? Zane Jansone: [00:05:21] Yeah. Marcis Jansons: [00:05:22] I heard something. Judy Caine: [00:05:23] Two hundred thousand? That's a lot. Marcis Jansons: [00:05:25] Yeah. Judy Caine: [00:05:25] That's like an eighth of the total world population of Latvia in England. [actually 10%]. Marcis Jansons: [00:05:32] Yeah. Yeah. Judy Caine: [00:05:34] Gosh I'm stunned. That's a surprise to me. And how many live in Corby? Marcis Jansone: [00:05:41] To be honest, I don't know because we are only here three years and we don't go looking for Latvians in Corby. If the future brings it on, they're going to bring them to us or, we're going to find Latvians over here. We, we know only 10 or, not more than that. But I heard that there's quite a bit of Latvians in Corby because like, I was told that Corby was first of the societies where Latvian's moved there. Judy Caine: [00:06:14] Yes, and am I right in recalling that during the second world war. Marcis Jansons: [00:06:19] After the Second World War. Judy Caine: [00:06:21] Didn't a Latvian steel worker come over wanting work and said could he bring his whole choir because they were all steel workers? Or, is that a myth? Marcis Jansons: [00:06:28] No. Basically, Latvians was on that time flooding from Latvia, some of them was in the Germany concentration camps. And after the Second World War, England was looking for the workers, mainly men, the hard-working men, the singles. And the Corby was steel village which needed workers, that's where Scottish came over, and the same with Latvians. The first Latvians came to the Corby, Leeds, London, those big places and they established here. Then after 10, not even 10 years, they bought the land next to the, not far from the Corby, which we still have. Judy Caine: [00:07:23] That's the Catthorpe Manor. Marcis Jansons: [00:07:25] Yeah, part of Latvian Welfare Trust. Judy Caine: [00:07:29] When did your parents come over here. Marcis Jansons: [00:07:33] My mom came 10 years ago. Judy Caine: [00:07:36] So not long before you came over. Marcis Jansons: [00:07:38] Yeah.

  • Representations of Holiness and the Sacred in Latvian Folklore and Folk Belief1
    No 6 FORUM FOR ANTHROPOLOGY AND CULTURE 144 Svetlana Ryzhakova Representations of Holiness and the Sacred in Latvian Folklore and Folk Belief1 In fond memory of my teacher, Vladimir Nikolaevich Toporov The term svēts, meaning ‘holy, sacred’ and its derivatives svētums (‘holiness’, ‘shrine/sacred place’), svētība (‘blessing’, ‘paradise’), svētlaime (‘bliss’), svētīt (‘to bless’, ‘to celebrate’), and svētīgs (‘blessed’, ‘sacred’) comprise an im- portant lexical and semantic field in the Latvian language. These lexemes are regularly en- countered in even the earliest Latvian texts, beginning in the 16th century,2 and are no less frequent in Baltic hydronomy and toponymy, as well as in folklore and colloquial speech. According to fairly widespread opinion, the lexeme svēts in Latvian is a loanword from the Svetlana Ryzhakova 13th-century Old Church Slavonic word svyat Institute of Ethnology [holy] (OCS — *svēts, svyatoi in middle Russian, and Anthropology from the reconstructible Indo-European of the Russian Academy 3 of Sciences, Moscow *ђ&en-) [Endzeīns, Hauzenberga 1934–46]. 1 This article is based on the work for the research project ‘A Historical Recreation of the Structures of Latvian Ethnic Culture’, supported by grant no. 06-06-80278 from the Russian Foundation for Basic Research, as well as the Programme for Basic Research of the Presidium of the Russian Academy of Sci- ences ‘The Adaptation of Nations and Cultures to Environmental Changes and Social and Anthropo- genic Transformations’ on the theme ‘The Evolution of the Ethnic and Cultural Image of Europe under the Infl uence of Migrational Processes and the Modernisation of Society’. 2 See [CC 1585: 248]; [Enchiridon 1586: 11]; [Mancelius 1638: 90]; [Fürecher II: 469].

  • Marco Polo – the Label of Discovery
    Marco Polo – The Label of Discovery Doubt was expressed by his contemporaries as to the truth of Marco Polo’s account of his years at the court of the Mongol Emperor of China. For some he was known as a man of a million lies, and one recent scholar has plausibly suggested that the account of his travels was a fiction inspired by a family dispute. There is, though, no doubt about the musical treasures daily uncovered by the Marco Polo record label. To paraphrase Marco Polo himself: All people who wish to know the varied music of men and the peculiarities of the various regions of the world, buy these recordings and listen with open ears. The original concept of the Marco Polo label was to bring to listeners unknown compositions by well-known composers. There was, at the same time, an ambition to bring the East to the West. Since then there have been many changes in public taste and in the availability of recorded music. Composers once little known are now easily available in recordings. Marco Polo, in consequence, has set out on further adventures of discovery and exploration. One early field of exploration lay in the work of later Romantic composers, whose turn has now come again. In addition to pioneering recordings of the operas of Franz Schreker, Der ferne Klang (The Distant Sound), Die Gezeichneten (The Marked Ones) and Die Flammen (The Flames), were three operas by Wagner’s son, Siegfried. Der Bärenhäuter (The Man in the Bear’s Skin), Banadietrich and Schwarzschwanenreich (The Kingdom of the Black Swan) explore a mysterious medieval world of German legend in a musical language more akin to that of his teacher Humperdinck than to that of his father.

  • JŪRMALA Your MICE Destination 10 REASONS to CHOOSE JŪRMALA AS YOUR MICE DESTINATION
    JŪRMALA your MICE destination 10 REASONS TO CHOOSE JŪRMALA AS YOUR MICE DESTINATION UNDISCOVERED 1. GEM According to the MICE global trends, the corporate clients are looking for the uncommon, distinguished destinations and experience to make the delegates feel the exclusiveness of the event. Jūrmala is a European resort “off the beaten track” with a great MICE destination potential – safe, green, sustainable, conveniently accessible, affordable, with well- designed infrastructure. Still undiscovered enough, still special, still unique. INTERNATIONAL 2. ACCESSIBILITY Jūrmala is located just 25 km away from the Latvian capital of Riga and only in 15-minute drive from Riga International Airport that offers more than 60 direct flights. In low season, the traffic to/from Jūrmala is always light and predictable that helps to manage the time efficiently and avoid wasting precious minutes in traffic. SIZE 3. MATTERS Although Jūrmala population is just a bit more than 55 000, it is the second largest city in Latvia after Riga. Thus, population density figures are very inviting for the visitors who are looking for the privacy and their own special snug place on the beach after the day’s hard work. When it comes to event planning, the advantage of the small well-planned city infrastructure is obvious. As the main hotels, restaurants and special venues are concentrated in the city center within walking distance, there is no need to worry about the transfers. Another advantage for the organizers, as A penny saved is a penny gained. SOCIAL PROGRAM 4. AND TEAM-BUILDING ACTIVITIES Be it a workshop for the narrow-field professionals or international conference, the delegates are always looking forward to the unofficial networking opportunities and exciting team building activities to get more personal with their colleagues.

  • The Unattached Intellectual in State Government Agencies: Rainis in Two Stages of Politically Relevant Activities
    IOSR Journal Of Humanities And Social Science (IOSR-JHSS) Volume 21, Issue 5, Ver. 1 (May. 2016) PP 55-70 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.iosrjournals.org The Unattached Intellectual In State Government Agencies: Rainis In Two Stages Of Politically Relevant Activities Inese Grumolte-Lerhe The article deals with the role of unattached intellectuals in society, and transformation of this role after their involvement in state government agencies. The case of Latvian poet, playwright and politician, Rainis, is being explored. Analysis of his intentions in two stages of politically relevant activities, i.e. stage of unattached intellectual and the politician, reveal continuity.This continuity in combination withreluctance to set a new agenda for the new career contributed to the clash of identities. Furthermore, Rainislaid claim on holding the authority of leader which is related to the symbolic power. Keywords: the political role and responsibility of intellectual, Rainis, unattached intellectual, politician. I. INTRODUCTION The subject of involvement of intellectuals,agents representing various artistic and aesthetic fields, in socially political processes of non-free societies, has earned an extensive scholarly attention in various contexts. One has to agree that fields of cultural and scholarly work provide a comparatively high degree of freedom under repressive regimes,thus their political relevance may be invokedper se(Cvijetic 1999). However, empirical studies give evidence for the fact that intellectuals who were once fighting against the repressive regime, use to change the sides of entrenchment after the regime overthrow, and turn into state government officials or politicians under the newly-established or the restoreddemocratic regime.
