  • Relações De Autoria E Originalidade Em Duas Performances Da Canção Obeah (Wo)Man1
    JEITO DE CORPO: RELAÇÕES DE AUTORIA E ORIGINALIDADE EM DUAS PERFORMANCES DA CANÇÃO OBEAH (WO)MAN1 BODY’S WAY: RELATIONS OF AUTHORSHIP AND LITERARY ORIGINALITY IN TWO PERFORMANCES OF THE SONG OBEAH (WO)MAN Luciane Alves Ferreira Mendes 2 RESUMO: Neste artigo temos por objetivo abordar alguns problemas relativos à noção de autoria e de originalidade literária (AGAMBEN, 2005; RANCIÈRE, 2005; SAER, 2009), a partir da análise da canção Obeah man, com letra e música assinadas por Tony McKay. Partiremos da interpretação vocal empreendida por McKay, do disco Exuma (1970) em comparação à interpretação de Nina Simone para Obeah woman, do álbum It’s finished (1974). Observamos que as funções de autoria e de originalidade literária são conceitos rizomáticos (DELEUZE; GUATTARI, 1995) evidenciados pela presença do corpo empírico inerente à performance vocal (ZUMTHOR, 2014), especialmente da canção, pois jogam com os duplos e os híbridos dos atores linguísticos em cena. Palavras-chave: Performance. Autoria. Des(re)territorialização. Hibridismo. ABSTRACT: In this article we aim at discussing some issues related to the notion of authorship and literary originality (AGAMBEN, 2005; RANCIÈRE, 2005; SAER, 2009) by means of analyzing the song Obeah man, with lyrics and music signed by Tony McKay. We will start with the vocal interpretation by McKay, recorded on Exuma (1970), in contrast with Nina Simone’s performance of Obeah woman, from the album It's finished (1974). We observed that the authorship and literary originality functions are rhizomatic concepts (DELEUZE; GUATTARI, 1995) evidenced by the presence of the empiric body as it arises from the vocal performance (ZUMTHOR, 2014), especially regarding songs, for it plays with the doubles and the hybrids of the linguistic actors on stage.

  • Junkanoo Featured Junior and Senior Groups
    March 1, 2008 The Abaconian Section A Page 1 VOLUME 15, NUMBER 5 MARCH 1st, 2008 Junkanoo featured junior and senior groups Costumes, floats, music and dancing entertained crowds By Julian Lockhart Thousands of Bahamians and foreign- ers lined Don MacKay Boulevard for the long awaited Junkanoo parade 0n Abaco on February 21st for a fun-filled evening of dancing, art work and great music. The Abaco Junkanoo Committee had to postpone the parade, which is usually held during the Christmas holiday because of lack of financial support. But the delay gave the groups more than enough time to definitely make it worth the wait. For the first time the junior and senior parades was combined and a number of persons complained that it took too long with both parades on the same night, es- pecially considering many had to work the next morning. However, those who stayed were treated with “the best Junkanoo parade Abaco has ever had,” according to one Abaconian, as the school groups got Don MacKay Boule- vard rocking and the adult groups kept the groove flowing throughout the late night. The colors were vibrant from purples to blues and reds and the dancers;young and old whined to the beat of the goat-skin The sound of drums and brass instruments preceded the Spring City Rockers, the first place winners of the Senior Junkanoo. Their drums and the cowbells. banner, announcing the theme Out of Africa, was decorated with giraffes and lions and their costumes were awesome. Witch doc- tors, feathered head gear, colors and movement characterized their costumes.

  • FLORIDA MEANS Various Things to Many People. for Some It
    JOSEPH E. BROWN AND THE FLORIDA ELECTION OF 1876 by DERRELL ROBERTS LORIDA MEANS various things to many people. For some it F means restored health and for others it has built fortunes, but for Joseph E. Brown it revived a sagging political career. By 1876, Brown had served as Georgia’s Governor for an unpre- cedented eight year period which included the Civil War era. He had been Chief Justice of the Georgia Supreme Court for nearly two years and earlier had served terms as Superior Court Judge and State Senator. In 1876, Brown was ready to rejoin the Democratic party which he had bolted in 1868 to vote for U.S. Grant for President, an action which almost ruined his ca- reer. He joined the Liberal Republican movement in 1872 and this made a reunion with the Democratic party easier. His service in Florida in 1876 made him a full-fledged Democrat again and helped carry him to Washington as one of Georgia’s United States Senators from 1880 to 1890. While the Democratic party which Brown rejoined was not new to him, neither was Florida. Early in 1876, he suffered from a throat ailment and took a trip to Jacksonville. From there he travelled to various points of interest along the St. Johns River by boat. On his return to Atlanta, he described the trip in detail in a letter to the editor of the Atlanta Constitution. 1 Before the general election in 1876, Brown took another trip, this time to Colorado, back across the Northern states and thence to Georgia.

    HET IS GEZIEN! HET IS GEHOORD! HET IS BESCHREVEN! Terugblik BBC Prom 45 Mississippi Goddam: A Homage to Nina Simone METROPOLE ORKEST met LEDISI & LISA FISCHER en LaSharVu door Jos Gunneweg Er zijn concerten van het Metropole Orkest die qua uitvoering, thema en achtergrond zo bijzonder zijn dat ze een uitvoerige nabeschouwing verdienen. Het MO Nina Simone Tribute Mississippi Goddam in BBC Prom 2019 #45 is er zo een. Het is van een grote schoonheid en heeft door de rijke achtergrond een diepere cultuurhistorische betekenis. Metropole Orkest, Jules Buckley, arrangeurs uit alle wereldhoofdsteden, Lisa Fischer, Ledisi, de staf van BBC Radio en BBC TV en niet te vergeten de staf van de Royal Albert Hall hebben er maanden hun beste krachten aan gegeven. Ook noemenswaardig is het indrukwekkende, rijk geïllustreerde programmaboek. Dit project is zondermeer monumentaal te noemen en het eindresultaat stijgt dan ook ver boven de som van al deze delen uit. Dat werd door deskundige recensenten van de Britse media herkend en bewierookt in lyrische bewoordingen. Ook op social media juichende commentaren. Helaas besteedde de Nederlandse pers er geen aandacht aan. Een gemiste kans. NINA SIMONE Ze vormde de inspiratiebron voor het schitterende, door Jules Bukcley samen- gestelde programma van twintig stukken dat zich nu ontrolt. Een gemengd boeket van popsongs, ballads – soms eigen werk, soms covers – alsmede minder bekende, van felle maatschappijkritiek voorziene eigen stukken die qua sfeer en stijl dicht liggen bij haar Afro-Amerikaanse roots. [zie kader] Nina Simone, op 21 februari 1933 geboren als Eunice Kathleen Waymon in Tryon, North Carolina en overleden op 21 april 2003 in het Franse Carry- le-Rouet, is een volkomen unieke stem die klonk tussen 1954 en 2001.

    PRESERVATION AND THE FUTURE OF THE BAHAMIAN PAST: A CASE STUDY OF SAN SALVADOR ISLAND’S HISTORIC RESOURCES by CHRISTOPHER C. JACKSON (Under the Direction of Cari Goetcheus) ABSTRACT While the material remains of past human activity and the evolution of traditional cultural activities have been the focus of much scholarship regarding the history of The Bahamas, very little has been said regarding preservation, promotion and interpretation of such resources. Experiencing spaces, places and activities associated with specific strands of history offer the Bahamian observer unique opportunities to gain insights into their own culture and character. This thesis explores the wealth of cultural heritage resources on San Salvador Island in order to analyze how such resources could be managed to affectively reveal the breadth of The Bahamas’ unique history and culture.
