  • Arhai's Balkan Folktronica: Serbian Ethno Music Reimagined for British
    Ivana Medić Arhai’s Balkan Folktronica... DOI: 10.2298/MUZ1416105M UDK: 78.031.4 78.071.1:929 Бацковић Ј. Arhai’s Balkan Folktronica: Serbian Ethno Music Reimagined for British Market* Ivana Medić1 Institute of Musicology SASA (Belgrade) Abstract This article focuses on Serbian composer Jovana Backović and her band/project Arhai, founded in Belgrade in 1998. The central argument is that Arhai made a transition from being regarded a part of the Serbian ethno music scene (which flourished during the 1990s and 2000s) to becoming a part of the global world music scene, after Jovana Backović moved from her native Serbia to the United Kingdom to pursue an international career. This move did not imply a fundamental change of her musical style, but a change of cultural context and market conditions that, in turn, affected her cultural identity. Keywords Arhai, Jovana Backović, world music, ethno, Balkan Folktronica Although Serbian composer, singer and multi-instrumentalist Jovana Backović is only 34 years old, the band Arhai can already be considered her lifetime project. The Greek word ‘Arhai’ meaning ‘beginning’ or ‘ancient’ it is aptly chosen to summarise Backović’s artistic mission: rethinking tradition in contemporary context. Нer interest in traditional music was sparked by her father, himself a professional musician and performer of both traditional and popular folk music (Medić 2013). Backović founded Arhai in Belgrade in 1998, while still a pupil at music school Slavenski, and continued to perform with the band while receiving instruction in classical composition and orchestration at the Belgrade Faculty of Music. In its first, Belgrade ‘incarnation’, Arhai was a ten-piece band that developed a fusion of traditional music from the Balkans with am bient sounds and jazz-influenced improvisation, using both acoustic and electric instruments and a quartet of fe male vocalists.

Time Will Crawl: Representation of 1980s Cold War Culture and Politics in Popular Music in the West By Alex Robbins Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts in History University of Portland December 2017 Robbins 1 The Cold War represented more than a power struggle between East and West and the fear of mutually assured destruction. Not only did people fear the loss of life and limb but the very nature of their existence came into question. While deemed the “cold” war due to the lack of a direct military conflict, battle is not all that constitutes a war. A war of ideas took place. Despite the attempt to eliminate outside influence, both East and West felt the impact of each other’s cultural movements.

  • Women in the United States Congress: 1917-2007
    Order Code RL30261 Women in the United States Congress: 1917-2007 Updated May 25, 2007 Mildred L. Amer Specialist in American National Government Government and Finance Division Women in the United States Congress: 1917-2007 Summary A record 90 women were elected to serve in the 110th Congress: 74 in the House (53 Democrats and 21 Republicans) and 16 in the Senate (11 Democrats and 5 Republicans). Rep. Juanita Millender-McDonald (D-CA) died during the first session of the Congress. Thus, 89 women serve in the 110th Congress: 73 in the House, 16 in the Senate. That is also a record number. The first woman elected to Congress was Representative Jeanette Rankin (R- MT, 1917-1919, 1941-1943). The first woman to serve in the Senate was Rebecca Latimer Felton (D-GA). She was appointed in 1922 and served for only one day. A total of 242 women have served in Congress, 154 Democrats and 88 Republicans. Of these women, 207 have served only in the House, 28 only in the Senate, and seven in both houses. The figures include one Delegate each from Guam, Hawaii, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Of the 214 women who have served in the House, 36 were elected to fill vacancies caused by the death of their husbands. Fifteen of the 36 were subsequently elected to additional terms. Twenty-one women have been elected to fill other vacancies. Edith Nourse Rogers (R-MA), who served in the House for 35 years, holds the record for length of service by a woman in Congress.

  • New Wave in Yugoslavia: Socio-Political Context  Udc 316.723:78(497.11)
    FACTA UNIVERSITATIS Series: Philosophy, Sociology, Psychology and History Vol. 12, No1, 2013, pp. 69 - 83 NEW WAVE IN YUGOSLAVIA: SOCIO-POLITICAL CONTEXT UDC 316.723:78(497.11) Jelena Božilović University of Niš, Faculty of Philosophy, Serbia E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. This paper analyzes the social and political implications of a popular culture music trend known as New Wave in SFRY. This trend was created in Great Britain and USA by the end of the 1970's but it "moved" to our country, as well, due to its opennes to Western culture. The Yugoslav New Wave was not a sheer copy of the Western trend but it managed to create its own original music expression becoming a phenomenon of one generation. The most popular new wave bands (Prljavo kazalište, Azra, Haustor, Film, Lajbah, Šarlo akrobata, Električni orgazam, Idoli) left a significant mark on the society, generation and the whole epoch not only in the sense of the music they created but also in the social, cultural and political sense. The New Wave was an avant-gard music trend whose ideals were reflected in simple musical forms, characteristic ideological engagement, visual presentations (music album covers and posters) and particularly in their lyrics full of irony, allusions and metaphors in relation to the establishment of the time. The paper compares the Western and Yugoslav new wave and punk music with a reference to their achievements and influence which is still present in contemporary culture. Key words: New Wave, Subculture, SFRY, Socialist ideology, Urban culture INTRODUCTION The new music trend, known as New Wave, originated in Great Britain and the Unated States of America in the late 1970s.

  • Ženske V Rock Glasbi V Sloveniji
    UNIVERZA V LJUBLJANI FAKULTETA ZA DRUŽBENE VEDE Jasna Simončič Ženske v rock glasbi v Sloveniji Diplomsko delo Ljubljana, 2010 UNIVERZA V LJUBLJANI FAKULTETA ZA DRUŽBENE VEDE Jasna Simončič Mentor: izr. prof. dr. Peter Stanković Ženske v rock glasbi v Sloveniji Diplomsko delo Ljubljana, 2010 Zahvala Najlepše se zahvaljujem Vesni Žličar, Sariti Petrič, Saši Hrovatin, Petri Zobec, Ani Korenini, Evi Breznikar ter Katarini Nasteski za prijazen odziv in pripravljenost pomagati pri nastanku tega dela. Še bolj pa se jim zahvaljujem zaradi tega, ker počno, kar počno, torej dokazujejo ne samo, da znajo dekleta »rokati«, temveč tudi, da znajo to počneti presneto dobro. Hvala, da utirate in kažete pot mladim dekletom, ki zaradi vas lahko sanjajo drugačne sanje. Zahvaljujem se tudi svoji družini za pomoč pri takšnih in drugačnih zagatah ter seveda za veliko mero potrpežljivosti. ŽENSKE V ROCK GLASBI V SLOVENIJI Diplomsko delo obravnava položaj žensk v rock glasbi in se osredotoča zlasti na njihov položaj v Sloveniji. Delo ne obravnava ženske splošne prisotnosti na rock sceni, temveč se poglablja le v ženske, ki v rock glasbi igrajo instrumente; izpušča torej druge sfere, kot so npr. bodisi vloga pevke bodisi grupijke ali pa sfero menedžmenta. Rock glasba je izrazito moška institucija, vendar vanjo vztrajno vnašajo svoj prispevek tudi ženske, pri čemer je njihov trud še vedno precej spregledan in zanikan. Prvi del pričujočega dela obravnava splošno stanje rock glasbe glede na spol in se ukvarja predvsem z vprašanjem, zakaj je kljub obstoju vrhunskih glasbenic na drugih področjih (orkestri, solistke, filharmonije) tako malo instrumentalistk v rocku. Ne pristaja na to, da ženske niso sposobne igranja električnih inštrumentov, temveč se raje sprašuje, zakaj jim vstop v to posvečeno rock življenje ni dovoljen oz.
