Lithuanian Writers and the Establishment During Late Socialism: the Writers Union As a Place for Conformism Or Escape Vilius Ivanauskas
LITHUANIAN HISTORICAL STUDIES 15 2010 ISSN 1392-2343 PP. 51–78 LITHUANIAN WRITERS AND THE EStabLISHMENT DURING LatE SOCIALISM: THE WRITERS UNION AS A PLACE FOR CONFORMISM OR ESCAPE Vilius Ivanauskas ABSTRACT This article analyses how the changes in the dominant attitude of local Soviet writers were encouraged, screened or restricted by the Writers Union [WU] through mechanisms of planning, control and even through measures of creating a secure daily environment. The author looks at the tensions and conflicts between writers of different generations, observing less ideology in the younger generation than in their predecessors since the development and dissemination of national images among the declared values of communism were increasing. The union as a system covered both aspects – conformism and the escape (manoeuvre). Though the WU had a strong mechanism of control, it managed to ensure for the writers such a model of adaptation where even those, who were subject to restrictions, had a possibility of remaining within the official structure, through certain compromises, while actually avoiding involvement in dissident activities or samizdat publishing. Introduction In August 1940 a group of Lithuanian intellectuals, most of whom were writers, went off to Moscow “to bring back Stalin’s Sunshine”, at the same time asking for Lithuania to be incorporated into the USSR. Forty eight years later in early June 1988 a few members of the local literary elite joined the initial Sąjūdis Group and from thenceforth stood in the vanguard of the National Revival. These two historic moments, witnessing two contrary breaking points in history, when Lithuanian writers were active participants in events, naturally give rise to the question of how the status and role of writers and their relationship with the Soviet regime changed. -
The European and Soviet Identities.Pdf
Paper prepared for the 8th Euroacademia International Conference Europe Inside‐Out: Europe and Europeanness Exposed to Plural Observers Lucca, Italy 28 – 30 September 2018 This paper is a draft Please do not cite or circulate 1 The Fundamental Incompatibility of the European and Soviet Identities Karolina Bagdone Vilnius University and Institute of Lithuanian Literature and Folklore (Lithuania) Abstract In Soviet-occupied states, including Lithuania, attempts were made to create a new civilizational system and a new consciousness. This consciousness had to resist any Western model of the world which valued personalities, democracy, individuality, and freedom. It was being created through repressions and attempts to remove self-reflection from peoples’ thinking. Individuality was reduced to the life of a peasant or equated to the crowd, while doubts, inquiries, and critical thinking were completely repressed to instil complacency. The Soviet identity existed as a generalized entirety of all Soviet socialist republics. This identity had some aspects of each nation, but their similarity and homogeneousness were strongly emphasized. Lithuanians attempted to define themselves in these conditions. They turned to the supposedly great history of Lithuania and attempted to create a Lithuanian identity which would need protection and defence from everyone and everything. This position is contradictory to the European identity, which constantly re-creates itself, values diversity, fragmentation, and constant change. Is it possible to reconcile these identities? Did a universal identity, i.e. a similar one to the European identity, exist in Soviet times? How could it emerge in Lithuanian poetry in the second part of the 20th century? In my presentation, I will briefly talk about the identity model which emerged in the creative works of Eduardas Mieželaitis and Sigitas Geda. -

Performance of Musical Scale in Traditional Vocal Homophony: Lithuanian Examples
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Serbian Academy of Science and Arts Digital Archive (DAIS) Rytis Ambrazevičius Performance of Musical Scale in Traditional... DOI: 10.2298/MUZ1417045A UDK: 784.4(474.5) Performance of Musical Scale in Traditional Vocal Homophony: Lithuanian Examples Rytis Ambrazevičius1 Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre (Vilnius) Kaunas University of Technology (Kaunas) Abstract Acoustical measurements of pitches in a dozen songs exemplifying the Lithuanian traditional vocal homophony were carried out. Several phenomena were revealed. First, the entire scales experience gradual transposition (rise) from the beginning to the end of the song performances. Second, the transposition is supplemented with the gradual shrinking of the musical scales (the intervals become narrower). Third, the intonations of the scale degrees are dynamic, i.e. they depend on the musical (both melodic and harmonic) contexts. Fourth, the versions of musical scales work as certain markers for the idiolects (further studies could show if this might be extrapolated to the realm of dialects). All these insights raise issues about the per- ceptual qualities of the musical scales and their manifestations in the performance. Keywords Musical scale, vocal performance, homophony, Lithuanian traditional singing, acoustical measurements, pitch perception. Issue of musical scale Before we proceed to the elaboration of the methods and tech- niques of the acoustical measurements, and the analysis of their re- sults, let’s discuss the concept of the ‘musical scale’. Most probably, this concept seems to be entirely transparent to us. Yet, upon closer inspection we encounter several obstacles. -

Lithuanian Music in America, 1870–1920
LITHUANIAN MUSIC IN AMERICA, 1870-1920 Danute Petrauskaite, Klaipeda University, Lithuania hile it is known that small numbers of Lithuanians emigrated to W America as early as the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, massive emigration to the New World began only after the second half of the nineteenth century, especially after the abolition of serfdom (Michelsonas 3- 4). If the first arrivals in America included a number of nobility, a greater part of the later emigrants were peasants, mainly men, who later invited their sisters, wives or fianc6es to come to the New World. Among the reasons which persuaded people to leave Lithuania were the repressions which followed the anti-Russian uprising of 1863, the country's poor economic situation, the new Tsarist conscription law of 1874, and the suppression of the revolution in 1905. After 1859 Lithuanians flooded into America, creating proportionately one of Europe's largest diasporas. In 1899, about 275,000 Lithuanians lived in the United States, while on the eve of World War I the number increased to 500,000 (Michelsonas 14). After the war the number of newcomers from Lithuania significantly decreased, as a strict immigration quota was introduced by the US administration, according to which, only 382 Lithuanians could enter the country per year (Lietuviq enciklopedija 420). As a consequence, Lithuanians began searching for a better life in Canada, Brazil, and Argentina, although a number entered the United States illegally. Lithuanian emigrants did not initiate their cultural and musical activities immediately upon arrival. The first emigrants were mainly village people, not influenced by either the first Tsarist schools in Lithuania or the first Lithuanian-language newspapers. -
