Zenit’s Azmoun on Lyon’s radar: L’Equipe Sports Desk French club Lyon is considering a move for Zenit St. Petersburg striker Sardar Azmoun as the Iranian is among top priorities of Ligue 1 side manager Pe- ter Bosz, according to French daily L’Equipe. Valued at €20 million, Azmoun, 26, has entered the final year of his contract with Zenit, and the Russian champion is willing to cash in on its Iranian asset at this transfer window, rather than letting him leave as a free agent next summer. Azmoun has started the current Rus- sian Premier League season in dazzling fashion, bagging four goals in three out- ings. “My only focus right now is on Ze- nit and the matches I have to play in,” Azmoun responded to the speculations surrounding his future after scoring twice during a 3-2 victory over Krasno- dar at the weekend. “I’m waiting on the club to make a decision on my future.

  • Song, State, Sawa Music and Political Radio Between the US and Syria
    Song, State, Sawa Music and Political Radio between the US and Syria Beau Bothwell Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 © 2013 Beau Bothwell All rights reserved ABSTRACT Song, State, Sawa: Music and Political Radio between the US and Syria Beau Bothwell This dissertation is a study of popular music and state-controlled radio broadcasting in the Arabic-speaking world, focusing on Syria and the Syrian radioscape, and a set of American stations named Radio Sawa. I examine American and Syrian politically directed broadcasts as multi-faceted objects around which broadcasters and listeners often differ not only in goals, operating assumptions, and political beliefs, but also in how they fundamentally conceptualize the practice of listening to the radio. Beginning with the history of international broadcasting in the Middle East, I analyze the institutional theories under which music is employed as a tool of American and Syrian policy, the imagined youths to whom the musical messages are addressed, and the actual sonic content tasked with political persuasion. At the reception side of the broadcaster-listener interaction, this dissertation addresses the auditory practices, histories of radio, and theories of music through which listeners in the sonic environment of Damascus, Syria create locally relevant meaning out of music and radio. Drawing on theories of listening and communication developed in historical musicology and ethnomusicology, science and technology studies, and recent transnational ethnographic and media studies, as well as on theories of listening developed in the Arabic public discourse about popular music, my dissertation outlines the intersection of the hypothetical listeners defined by the US and Syrian governments in their efforts to use music for political ends, and the actual people who turn on the radio to hear the music.

  • Mauro Berruto Presenta La World League 2013 Degli Azzurri
    Mauro Berruto presenta la World League 2013 degli azzurri Modena. La nazionale seniores maschile è pronta ad affrontare l’intensa stagione 2013, un’annata che sarà caratterizzata da quattro manifestazioni: World League, Giochi del Mediterraneo, Campionati Europei e Campionati del Mondo Under 23. Il primo impegno sarà proprio la 24esima edizione della World League, storica manifestazione che quest’anno si presenta con un format rinnovato. Il numero delle formazioni partecipanti è stato infatti allargato a 18 suddivise in tre pool (A,B,C). Oltre al numero di squadre, diverso sarà anche la formula della manifestazione che non prevede più il doppio incontro di andata e ritorno, ma due match nello stesso paese con le squadre più alte nel ranking che giocheranno tre turni in casa e due in trasferta. Sei i week end di gara della Fase Intercontinentale prima della Final Six in programma a Mar del Plata, in Argentina dal 17 al 21 luglio. Proprio la riveduta formula di gioco permetterà agli azzurri di tornare a giocare in diverse piazze del Paese: Firenze, Torino e Modena sono città abituate ad ospitare grandi manifestazioni internazionali mentre Sassari è l’assoluta new entry della manifestazione. Savani e compagni, inseriti nella pool B, saranno impegnati con Russia, Cuba, Serbia, Germania e Iran. Il debutto per i ragazzi di Berruto sarà il 7 giugno a Modena (ore 20.30) contro i tedeschi, sfida che sarà replicata il 9 (ore 18) a Torino. Sempre nel capoluogo piemontese il 14 (ore 20) sarà la volta di Italia-Cuba, incontro che due giorni dopo si terrà a Firenze (ore 20).
