  • Armenian Migration, Settlement and Adjustment in Australia with Special Reference · to the Armenians in Sydney
    ARMENIAN MIGRATION, SETTLEMENT AND ADJUSTMENT IN AUSTRALIA WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE · TO THE ARMENIANS IN SYDNEY by James Ray Kirkland A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Research School of Social Sciences of the· Australian National University March 1980 -244- CHAPTER VI MAINTENANCE OF ARMENIAN IDENTITY AND ETHNICITY IN AUSTRALIA - INTRODUCTION AND DEFINITIONS Most research on ethnic identity and ethnicity has been concerned not with its maintenance but with the patterns of its demise (Fishman, 1966d: 21). This is directly attributable to the attitude of earlier years that ethnic groups would always eventually die out. Thus, the emphasis was on how they disappeared rather than on how they managed to persist (Glazer and Moynihan, 1975b: 5). In Australia, st:udies qf ethnic identity have been made largely by social-psychologists, with the main emphasis being on how immigrants shed their ethnic identity anq .come to identify with Australian society· (Johnston, 1963; Phillips, 1968; Richardson, 1957; 1974; Taft, 1965). The underlying ·premise of most of these studies was that, over time, immigrants would eventually cease identifying with their ethnic groups and commence to identify with the greater Australian society at which stage they were con­ sidered to be "psychologi!:!ally ass:f.milated". More recent research, especially in the United States (Glazer and. Moynihan, 1975), has drawn attention to the persistence, or even resurgence, of ethnic group identity and to the means by which this is accomplished. It is now common to speak of "plural ·societies" where different ethnic groups maintain their separate ethnicities, while at the same time they are "integrated" into the larger society.

  • Chamber Choir Was Founded in 1992
    “HOVER” CHAMBER CHOIR Sona Hovhannisyan Artistic director and conductor “HOVER” (ՀՈՎԵՐ) chamber choir was founded in 1992. The choir was established on personal initiative without any sponsorship support. Right from its first appearances the choir presented an original type of Armenian choral music, open to any style and genre, closely connected with the art of European choral music. The choir gives principle importance to experiment and innovation and to the synthesis of various arts even while performing most traditional academic pieces. In 1996 “Hover” premiered Benjamin Britten's “Canticum Komitas Misericordium” with the Armenian Philharmonic Orchestra (1869 - 1935) (conductor K. Durgaryan). In 1996 “Hover” issued its first CD - Ludwig Basil’s sacred choral songs. In 1997 the release of the CD was followed by participation of the choir in the International choral competition-festival in Arezzo (Italy) and a concert on the island of St. Lasarus, Venice. In 1996-1997 “Hover” premiered “St. John Passion” and “St. Matthew Passion” oratorios by J.S. Bach in full volume (conductor Z. Vardanyan). In 1999 “Hover” participated in the choral competition-festival in Tours (France) becoming twice laureate of international competitions. During these years in its concerts “Hover” performed masterpieces of Purcell, Schütz, Brahms, Honegger, Poulenc, Hindemith, Britten, Stravinsky, Messiaen and other Western-European composers as well as a number of newly composed choral works by contemporary Armenian composers (A. Ghazaryan, V. Manukyan, A. Voskanyan) and works of the founders of Armenian choral art - Komitas and Yekmalyan. During these years “Hover” presented its first staging of “Dance songs” by Komitas. In the winter of 1999 “Hover” held a concert-performance under the name of “Christmas Carols” in combination with shadow play in the experimental theater “Being” (ԳՈՅ) (director A.

  • The Kardashians and the Ruminating Strategy
    Sociology Study, July 2018, Vol. 8, No. 7, 345‐350 D doi: 10.17265/2159‐5526/2018.07.005 DAVID PUBLISHING The Kardashians and the Ruminating Strategy Claudia Lisa Moellera Abstract Many have wondered in these years about the reason behind the huge success the Kardashian (‐Jenner) family raised and gained. Even if the reality show might not be one of the most innovative, nor original television products, it is impossible to see how the Kardashian’s clan managed to become something more than a family who likes to air their dirty (and maybe expansive) laundry in public. Albeit there are different reality shows that have portrayed almost every possible family: religious, heavy metal, gipsy, wealthy Californian, dysfunctional, party animals; the Kardashians celebrated in 2018 their 10 years of reality shows. This might appear a silly, and not even a big deal: TV shows have existed for longer time in the American (and not only) panorama, yet the Kardashian made it possible to conquest with their unique style, and communication strategy something that other reality shows families did not reach. What did the Kardashians do? The Kardashians created a new communication strategy that allowed them to be the most popular family on three different media: press, television, and social media. Keywords Kardashian, Søren Kierkegaard, hermeneutics of television, internet and television, reality shows The Kardashians forged a new type of communication Indeed, the Kardashians’ material is rarely new. strategy that involves different media, in which every The ability of this family and the key of their success media explains and gives different elements to rely on the ability to use and re-use the same material understand part of the story that another media has and stories all over again.

    Gender and Geopolitics in the Eurovision Song Contest Introduction Catherine Baker Lecturer, University of Hull [email protected] http://www.suedosteuropa.uni-graz.at/cse/en/baker Contemporary Southeastern Europe, 2015, 2(1), 74-93 Contemporary Southeastern Europe is an online, peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary journal that publishes original, scholarly, and policy-oriented research on issues relevant to societies in Southeastern Europe. For more information, please contact us at [email protected] or visit our website at www.contemporarysee.org Introduction: Gender and Geopolitics in the Eurovision Song Contest Catherine Baker* Introduction From the vantage point of the early 1990s, when the end of the Cold War not only inspired the discourses of many Eurovision performances but created opportunities for the map of Eurovision participation itself to significantly expand in a short space of time, neither the scale of the contemporary Eurovision Song Contest (ESC) nor the extent to which a field of “Eurovision research” has developed in cultural studies and its related disciplines would have been recognisable. In 1993, when former Warsaw Pact states began to participate in Eurovision for the first time and Yugoslav successor states started to compete in their own right, the contest remained a one-night-per- year theatrical presentation staged in venues that accommodated, at most, a couple of thousand spectators and with points awarded by expert juries from each participating country. Between 1998 and 2004, Eurovision’s organisers, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), and the national broadcasters responsible for hosting each edition of the contest expanded it into an ever grander spectacle: hosted in arenas before live audiences of 10,000 or more, with (from 2004) a semi-final system enabling every eligible country and broadcaster to participate each year, and with (between 1998 and 2008) points awarded almost entirely on the basis of telephone voting by audiences in each participating state.
