United Nations, NewYork 10017 UNITED NATIONS .0 CENTRE AGAINST APARTHEID INTRODUCTION The first Register of entertainers, actors and others who have performed in apartheid South Africa since 1981 was issued in October 1983 at the request of the United Nations Special Committee against Apartheid, as part of the cultural boycott against South Africa mandated by a number of General Assembly resolutions. In December 1984 and February 1986, the second and third Registers appeared, with consolidated lists of such performers. Both Registers also contained lists of those persons whose names had been deleted from the Register after they had pledged not to engage in further cultural contacts with South Africa as long as the apartheid system prevailed. Since the first Register appeared, Governments, intergovernmental and non- governmental organizations and individuals, including performers, have expressed their appreciation for the initiative, which has aided them in their efforts to enforce a cultural boycott of South Africa. Many of the artists whose names were in the Register subsequently stated their abhorrence of apartheid, pledged not to perform in South Africa while apartheid is in existence, and asked to have their names deleted. As monitoring of cultural collaboration has improved and the Register also has become more complete and better known, artists have become increasingly unwilling to suffer the adverse publicity of appearing on the Register. Also, as the situation in South Africa has continued to deteriorate under the state of emergency reimposed in June 1986, it has become less and less acceptable for artists and others to collaborate with South Africa. Nevertheless, many artists, predominantly from some Western States, continue to perform in South Africa. Therefore, despite considerable progress made by the international community in enforcing the cultural boycott, much remains to be done to persuade artists not to collaborate with South Africa. At its forty-first session, the General Assembly, by resolution 41/35 H of 10 November 1986 entitled "Concerted international action for the elimination of apartheid", renewed its call for a cultural boycott and appealed to "all Governments and organizations to take appropriate action for the cessation of all academic, cultural, scientific and sport relations that would support the apartheid r4gime of South Africa, as well as relations with individuals, institutions and other bodies endorsing or based on apartheid". In support of this appeal, and in accordance with other relevant resolutions of the General Assembly, the Special Committee is now publishing this fourth Register of entertainers, actors and others who have collaborated with South Africa, in the hope that, particularly in the light of the grave situation in that country, artists will, by refraining from offering their talents to aid the regime, join the international community in its efforts to put an end to apartheid. The Special Committee wishes to appeal to all those whose names are included in the first part of the Register to end their cultural ties with South Africa and to send a pledge that they will not perform in South Africa until the apartheid system has been eliminated, so that their names can be -ii removed from the Register. It also urges Governments, intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations and others to take further action to persuade those concerned to do so. The Special Committee also wishes to express its gratitude to all those who have shown their support for the people of South Africa in the past and at this critical time, and to urge them to continue their efforts to help bring about an end to cultural and all other forms of collaboration with South Africa.

  • Joyce Yang Piano Blessed With
    Joyce Yang Piano Blessed with “poetic and sensitive pianism” (Washington Post) and a “wondrous sense of color” (San Francisco Classical Voice), pianist Joyce Yang captivates audiences with her virtuosity, lyricism, and interpretive sensitivity. As a Van Cliburn International Piano Competition silver medalist and Avery Fisher Career Grant recipient, Yang showcases her colorful musical personality in solo recitals and collaborations with the world’s top orchestras and chamber musicians. Yang came to international attention in 2005 when she won the silver medal at the 12th Van Cliburn International Piano Competition. The youngest contestant at 19 years old, she took home two additional awards: the Steven De Groote Memorial Award for Best Performance of Chamber Music (with the Takàcs Quartet) and the Beverley Taylor Smith Award for Best Performance of a New Work. Since her spectacular debut, she has blossomed into an “astonishing artist” (Neue Zürcher Zeitung). She has performed as soloist with the New York Philharmonic, Chicago Symphony, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Philadelphia Orchestra, the Baltimore, Detroit, Houston, Milwaukee, San Francisco, Sydney, and Toronto symphony orchestras, Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, and the BBC Philharmonic (among many others), working with such distinguished conductors as Edo de Waart, Lorin Maazel, James Conlon, Leonard Slatkin, David Robertson, Bramwell Tovey, Peter Oundjian, and Jaap van Zweden. In recital, Yang has taken the stage at New York’s Lincoln Center and Metropolitan Museum; the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC; Chicago’s Symphony Hall; and Zurich’s Tonhalle. Yang kicks off the 2015/16 season with a tour of eight summer festivals (Aspen, Bridgehampton, Grand Tetons, La Jolla, Ravinia, Seattle, Southeastern Piano Festival, and Bravo! Vail) before commencing a steady stream of debuts, return engagements, and notable chamber music concerts.

  • 1 Lahiton [email protected]
    Lahiton [email protected] 1 Lahiton magazine was founded in 1969 by two partners, Uri Aloni and David Paz, and was funded by an investment from Avraham Alon, a Ramlah nightclub owner and promoter. Uri Aloni was a pop culture writer and rabid music fan while David Paz, another popular music enthusiast, was an editor who knew his way around the technical side of print production. The name “Lahiton,” reportedly invented by entertainers Rivka Michaeli and Ehud Manor, combines the Hebrew words for hit, “lahit” and newspaper, “iton.” Lahiton [email protected] 2 Uri Aloni cites the British fan magazines Melody Maker and New Music Express as influences; (Eshed 2008) while living in London and writing for the pop music columns of Yediot Ahronot and La-Isha, he would lift editorial content and photos from the latest British pop magazines, write articles, then find an Israel-bound traveler at the London airport to transport the articles into the hands of his editors. In Lahiton’s early days, Aloni and Paz continued this practice (Edut 2014). Eventually, however Lahiton’s flavor became uniquely secular Israeli. Although in 1965 the Beatles were famously denied permission to perform in Israel (Singer 2015), by the time Lahiton got started in 1969 there was no stemming the tide; the international pop music scene had permeated Israel’s insular and conservative culture. At the time there were no other Hebrew publications that covered what was going on both at home and in America and Europe. Lahiton began as a bimonthly publication, but within the first year, when press runs of 5000 copies sold out on a regular basis, Paz and Aloni turned it into a weekly.

  • Eurovision Song Comtest Complete 88 89
    1980s !1 Eurovision Song Contest 1988 Björn Nordlund !1 Björn Nordlund 10 juni 2018 1988 Ne Partez pas sans moi Eurovision, sida !1 Björn Nordlund 10 juni 2018 1988 Suddenly it happens For you all whom read all the pages my number one song each year not exactly celebrate grand success. So all of a sudden it happens my favorite song ended up as number one, and lets face it… WOW, who knew anything about Celine Dion back in 1988? The Swiss entry, ”Ne partez pas sans moi” stole the crown this year at the end of the voting, thanks to Yugoslavias jury for some reason agreed with the French singer Gerard Lenorman that his entry was of the same class as ”My way” (”Comme d´habitude”). And I can imagine that the UK singer Scott Fitzgerald was a bit surprised over the outcome. In ans case, not only Celine Dion started her way to success this year, also Lara Fabian entered, but for Luxembourg. So how did my list compare to the final result this year. We had some really good entries but 1988 must be seen as a middle year even if songs like ”Pu og peir”, ”Nauravat Silmät muistetaan”, ”La chica que yo quiro” and ”Ka du se hva jeg sa”. Sweden sent our number one musical star Mr Tommy Körberg who went from the stages of the London musical scene to Eurovision (his second try) and for Swedish media it was all in the bag, Eurovision from Sweden 1989.. It turned out to be very wrong and the Swedish delegation blamed Tommys bad cold and voice problems.

FONTAINE A Dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in History written under the direction of Bonnie G. Smith and approved by ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey MAY, 2011 2011 Darcie Fontaine ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Decolonizing Christianity: Grassroots Ecumenism in France and Algeria, 1940-1965 By DARCIE S. FONTAINE Dissertation Director: Bonnie G. Smith This dissertation, “Grassroots Ecumenism: Christianity and Decolonization in France and Algeria, 1940-1965” is the first major study of how French Protestant and Catholic engagement in the Algerian War of Independence (1954-1962) reshaped Christianity in the modern world and influenced global religious movements like Ecumenical Movement and Vatican II. The moral questions that surfaced during the Algerian War, including the French military’s use of torture, the repression of civilian populations, and debates about the legitimacy of the Algerian nationalist positions forced Christians across the world to rethink the role of Christianity in imperialism and its future in a postcolonial world. This dissertation examines the shifting dynamics of Christianity’s role in the French empire, from the role that Christianity played in supporting the moral foundations for French colonialism in Algeria, to the ways in which Social Christianity, which emerged in France in the 1930s and 40s, undermined these same moral arguments, including the belief that French colonialism was both benevolent and the only means through which Christian interests could be protected in Algeria.
