Hope and Uncertainty in Contemporary African Migration Hope and Uncertainty in Contemporary African Migration This volume examines the relationship between hope, mobility, and immo- bility in African migration. Through case studies set within and beyond the continent, it demonstrates that hope offers a unique prism for analyzing the social imaginaries and aspirations which underpin migration in situations of uncertainty, deepening inequality, and delimited access to global circuits of legal mobility. The volume takes departure in a mobility paradox that characterizes con- temporary migration. Whereas people all over the world are exposed to widening sets of meaning of the good life elsewhere, an increasing number of people in the Global South have little or no access to authorized modes of international migration. This book examines how African migrants respond to this situation. Focusing on hope, it explores migrants’ temporal and spa- tial horizons of expectation and possibility and how these horizons link to mobility practices. Such analysis is pertinent as precarious life conditions and increasingly restrictive regimes of mobility characterize the lives of many Africans, while migration continues to constitute important livelihood strategies and to be seen as pathways of improvement. Whereas involuntary immobility is one consequence, another is the emergence and consolidation of new destinations emerging in the Global South. The volume examines this development through empirically grounded and theoretically rich case studies in migrants’ countries of origin, zones of transit, and in new and established destinations in Europe, North America, the Middle East, Latin America and China. It thereby offers an original perspective on linkages between migration, hope, and immobility, ranging from migration aspira- tions to return.

On a warm afternoon in March 2008 Nauja, one of the co-editors of this volume, met Sam. She was heading across the campus of the University of Ghana, when a young man addressed her. ‘Hi, are you from the States?’ ‘No, why?’ Because, Sam explained in a broad American accent, he loved America but was deported a few years ago. What had started as a promising stay had gradually turned into an ill-fated adventure, mainly because he could not regularize his papers. Now Sam was studying business but badly wanted to return to the United States again, always on the alert for possible connections or opportunities to help him realize his dreams. Nauja studied Ghanaian migration policies at the time, but Sam’s story added to her growing puzzlement about the gulf between policy-makers’ ideas about well-managed migration and the sense among ordinary Ghanaians of feeling unable to realize their migratory aspirations. She was intrigued. Meanwhile Dorte, the other co-editor, was doing research with adoles- cent boys from rural Burkina Faso who audaciously set off on migration to neighboring Cte d’Ivoire, sometimes without knowing where they would sleep on arrival and sometimes with insufficient money for the entire fare. They talked about being housed and fed temporarily by strangers and help extended by migrant relatives, but their accounts also dwelled on suffering. The boys were not pioneers but followed in the footsteps of older brothers, fathers, and grandfathers in trying to broaden their opportunities and move out of poverty. Dorte was astounded by her young interlocutors’ disregard of barriers to their migration and how they had to negotiate border control, whether they had the right papers or not. Gradually, our initial curiosity grew into a research program on new geographies of hope and despair in West African migration, developed and conducted with Ida Maria Vammen. We set out to explore the effects of restrictive mobility regimes for West African migration, taking our departure in a contemporary mobility paradox: that images and ideas of the good life, often taking place elsewhere, are circulated all over the globe, while access to legal international mobility circuits is a scarce resource for most people with non-Western citizenship. We then asked what this mobility paradox means viii Nauja Kleist and Dorte Thorsen for hope for West Africans migrants and their families, approaching hope as an analytical perspective that highlights anticipation and the simultaneous potentiality and uncertainty of the future. Finalizing this book, the topic of hope, uncertainty, and migration seems more topical than ever. The emergence of the so-called refugee crisis, with one million people crossing the Mediterranean in 2015, has brought unprec- edented public and political attention to migration. Poignant images have gone viral of the small body of Aylan Kurdi, washed ashore, and of the many men, women, and children on highways walking from the southern and eastern borders of the European Union. Meanwhile, most European states have implemented increasingly restrictive asylum and migration policies.

  • The KNIGHT REVISION of HORNBOSTEL-SACHS: a New Look at Musical Instrument Classification
    The KNIGHT REVISION of HORNBOSTEL-SACHS: a new look at musical instrument classification by Roderic C. Knight, Professor of Ethnomusicology Oberlin College Conservatory of Music, © 2015, Rev. 2017 Introduction The year 2015 marks the beginning of the second century for Hornbostel-Sachs, the venerable classification system for musical instruments, created by Erich M. von Hornbostel and Curt Sachs as Systematik der Musikinstrumente in 1914. In addition to pursuing their own interest in the subject, the authors were answering a need for museum scientists and musicologists to accurately identify musical instruments that were being brought to museums from around the globe. As a guiding principle for their classification, they focused on the mechanism by which an instrument sets the air in motion. The idea was not new. The Indian sage Bharata, working nearly 2000 years earlier, in compiling the knowledge of his era on dance, drama and music in the treatise Natyashastra, (ca. 200 C.E.) grouped musical instruments into four great classes, or vadya, based on this very idea: sushira, instruments you blow into; tata, instruments with strings to set the air in motion; avanaddha, instruments with membranes (i.e. drums), and ghana, instruments, usually of metal, that you strike. (This itemization and Bharata’s further discussion of the instruments is in Chapter 28 of the Natyashastra, first translated into English in 1961 by Manomohan Ghosh (Calcutta: The Asiatic Society, v.2). The immediate predecessor of the Systematik was a catalog for a newly-acquired collection at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Brussels. The collection included a large number of instruments from India, and the curator, Victor-Charles Mahillon, familiar with the Indian four-part system, decided to apply it in preparing his catalog, published in 1880 (this is best documented by Nazir Jairazbhoy in Selected Reports in Ethnomusicology – see 1990 in the timeline below).

  • Yet None with Truer Fervour Sing’: Coronation Song and the (De)Colonization of African Choral Composition
    ‘YET NONE WITH TRUER FERVOUR SING’: CORONATION SONG AND THE (DE)COLONIZATION OF AFRICAN CHORAL COMPOSITION by CHRISTINE LUCIA Abstract: In 1937, the Se(Sotho) composer, Mohapeloa published ‘Coronation Song’ a short a cappella choral work that celebrates the coronation of King George VI and which is ostensibly rooted in his colonial experience of the British Protectorate of Basutoland. It was reprinted in Morija in 1939 as ‘Coronation March’, by which time it was clear that this song’s political message was at odds with his other songs. Reprinted in 1945, 55, 66, and 80 with minor changes, the song becomes increasingly anachronistic. Mohapeloa suddenly rewrote it in the mid 1970s, 10 years after Lesotho gained independence, by transforming it into a patriotic song, ‘Lesotho Our Heritage’ (‘Lesotho Lefa la Rōna’). This article traces the song’s journey through decades of political change by means of a close hermeneutic reading of its text, musical language and structure, arguing that the music had always identified with two political tendencies, the one European and colonizing, the other American and decolonizing. It was this ambiguity that kept Mohapeloa’s interest and led to his last version of the song, finally published only in 2015. Keywords: Mohapeloa, Coronation Song, colonial, decolonial, Basutoland, Lesotho, choral, analysis, history, harmony, tonality. Introductory remarks Little detailed musical analysis has yet been applied to colonial and postcolonial African composition in order to lay bare the lasting damage inflicted on indigenous musical languages by what Kofi Agawu has called “musical violence of a very high order” that accompanied other forms of colonial violence (Agawu 2016a: 337).

Página 1 de 10 Revista Transcultural de Música Transcultural Music Review #11 (2007) ISSN:1697-0101 People and sounds”: Filming African music between visual anthropology and television documentary Leonardo D'Amico Università di Ferrara Università di Siena Abstract Watching music, and not only listening to or writing about it, is a priority to deepen in the knowledge of traditional music both in Europe and elsewhere. Since visual anthropology was born, there have been different ways to convey this idea. Through a review of the documentary films produced from the fifties until the present time, the paper shows the historical changes on the film industry priorities with regard to world music portrayals. The dialectal tension between fictional and ethnographic approaches has been a constant. This paper supports the premise that auteur films can reach ethnomusicological level, although not being scientific, and have an added poetical value of great help in this field.

  • Map 61 Ephesus Compiled by C
    Map 61 Ephesus Compiled by C. Foss and G. Reger (islands), 1994 Introduction The continental part of the map comprises three distinct geographic regions: the coasts of Ionia and Caria, the Maeander valley, and the mountainous hinterland of Caria. The coastal region, settled by Greeks in their first great expansion in the Iron Age, became the site of major cities and many smaller settlements along its deeply indented coastline. The excavators of Ephesus and Miletus have long surveyed the regions of those cities, and other classical scholars have investigated the rest of Ionia. The Ionian coast has seen great physical changes since antiquity. The vast quantities of alluvium deposited by the R. Maeander have made the ancient port of Ephesus an inland town, and turned the former Gulf of Latmos near Miletus into a lake (inset and E2). The Carian coast, with its numerous small ports, is well known thanks to the researches of Bean and Fraser. The broad Maeander valley, which divides Ionia from Caria, always played a major role in the economy of the region with its fertility and the communication it provided between coast and interior. It has not been systematically surveyed. The river’s tributaries offered an outlet for the scattered settlements in the basins and plateaus of the heavily forested interior of Caria. Much of this region, as well as many parts of neighboring ones, was carefully explored by Louis Robert. The map omits Carian sites for which no Greek name is attested; for these, see Radt (1970). For unnamed village sites also not marked, see Marchese (1989, 147-54).
