Sounding Nostalgia In Post-World War I Paris Abstract In the years that immediately followed the Armistice of November 11, 1918, Paris was at a turning point in its history: the aftermath of the Great War overlapped with the early stages of what is commonly perceived as a decade of rejuvenation. This transitional period was marked by tension between the preservation (and reconstruction) of a certain prewar heritage and the negation of that heritage through a series of social and cultural innovations. In this dissertation, I examine the intricate role that nostalgia played across various conflicting experiences of sound and music in the cultural institutions and popular media of the city of Paris during that transition to peace, around 1919-1920. I show how artists understood nostalgia as an affective concept and how they employed it as a creative resource that served multiple personal, social, cultural, and national functions. Rather than using the term “nostalgia” as a mere diagnosis of temporal longing, I revert to the capricious definitions of the early twentieth century in order to propose a notion of nostalgia as a set of interconnected forms of longing.

  • Paris, 1918-45
    un :al Chapter II a nd or Paris , 1918-45 ,-e ed MARK D EVOTO l.S. as es. 21 March 1918 was the first day of spring. T o celebrate it, the German he army, hoping to break a stalemate that had lasted more than three tat years, attacked along the western front in Flanders, pushing back the nv allied armies within a few days to a point where Paris was within reach an oflong-range cannon. When Claude Debussy, who died on 25 M arch, was buried three days later in the Pere-Laehaise Cemetery in Paris, nobody lingered for eulogies. The critic Louis Laloy wrote some years later: B. Th<' sky was overcast. There was a rumbling in the distance. \Vas it a storm, the explosion of a shell, or the guns atrhe front? Along the wide avenues the only traffic consisted of militarr trucks; people on the pavements pressed ahead hurriedly ... The shopkeepers questioned each other at their doors and glanced at the streamers on the wreaths. 'II parait que c'ctait un musicicn,' they said. 1 Fortified by the surrender of the Russians on the eastern front, the spring offensive of 1918 in France was the last and most desperate gamble of the German empire-and it almost succeeded. But its failure was decisive by late summer, and the greatest war in history was over by November, leaving in its wake a continent transformed by social lb\ convulsion, economic ruin and a devastation of human spirit. The four-year struggle had exhausted not only armies but whole civiliza­ tions.

  • Nutcracker Media Release R1
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November 14, 2014 Contact: Erika Overturff (Founder and Artistic Director), (402) 541-6946 Print-quality photos are available for download here. BALLET NEBRASKA'S NUTCRACKER BLENDS NEW FEATURES, OLD FAVORITES The premiere of a new French scene and the debut of a new Sugar Plum Fairy and are among the features of this year's edition of Ballet Nebraska's The Nutcracker. “I’m always looking for ways to maintain the ballet’s story and charm, while adding fresh touches,” said artistic director Erika Overturff, who choreographs and stages the holiday classic, as well as dancing the role of the Snow Queen. “Personalizing the ballet for your own company and audience is something that every company has done since the beginning – it’s part of the tradition of The Nutcracker.” The French scene – often called “Mirletons” or “Dance of the Reed Flutes” – gets a makeover this year, with new concept, choreography and costumes, Overturff said. “I was listening to the music and thinking about things we associate with France,” she said, “and I thought: What could be more French than cooking? I don’t want to spoil the surprise, but I can tell you that the new scene involves a ballerina, a chef with a lot of assistants, and a cake.” A signature role in The Nutcracker, Overturff said, is that of the Sugar Plum Fairy – the benign ruler of the Kingdom of Sweets, who welcomes the young heroine, Clara, and commands a series of spectacular dances in her honor. Making her debut as the Sugar Plum Fairy this year is Vivi DiMarco, a dancer in her third season with Ballet Nebraska.
