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. -

Habibi - a Multi Dialect Multi National Arabic Song Lyrics Corpus
Proceedings of the 12th Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC 2020), pages 1318–1326 Marseille, 11–16 May 2020 c European Language Resources Association (ELRA), licensed under CC-BY-NC Habibi - a multi Dialect multi National Arabic Song Lyrics Corpus Mahmoud El-Haj School of Computing and Communications Lancaster University United Kingdom [email protected] Abstract This paper introduces Habibi the first Arabic Song Lyrics corpus. The corpus comprises more than 30,000 Arabic song lyrics in 6 Arabic dialects for singers from 18 different Arabic countries. The lyrics are segmented into more than 500,000 sentences (song verses) with more than 3.5 million words. I provide the corpus in both comma separated value (csv) and annotated plain text (txt) file formats. In addition, I converted the csv version into JavaScript Object Notation (json) and eXtensible Markup Language (xml) file formats. To experiment with the corpus I run extensive binary and multi-class experiments for dialect and country-of-origin identification. The identification tasks include the use of several classical machine learning and deep learning models utilising different word embeddings. For the binary dialect identification task the best performing classifier achieved a testing accuracy of 93%. This was achieved using a word-based Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) utilising a Continuous Bag of Words (CBOW) word embeddings model. The results overall show all classical and deep learning models to outperform our baseline, which demonstrates the suitability of the corpus for both dialect and country-of-origin identification tasks. I am making the corpus and the trained CBOW word embeddings freely available for research purposes. -

Kuwait's Musical Heritage
Local FRIDAY, AUGUST 15, 2014 FROM OUR ARCHIVES Kuwait’s musical heritage The heartbeat of a nation By Sarah Alzouman here is something about music. It has a kind of magic that can capture an emotion or Tmoment in time. Traditional Kuwaiti music is enchanting in the sense that it can evoke the founding chapter of Kuwait’s history and tie the native listener inexorably to his or her past. The drums in the sea songs of Kuwait begin to sound like crashing waves of the glorious but terrible sea and I begin to feel the tide pull the salt in my blood back home to the source of my forefather’s successes and struggles, celebrations and suffer- ing. The magnetic power of Kuwait’s traditional music exerts its pull not only on native Kuwaitis, but on anyone who hears it. Lisa Urkevich, PhD in ethnomusicology and professor at the American University of Kuwait can attest to that. Dr. Urkevich arrived in Kuwait almost six years ago to study the influence of Saudi desert traditions on Kuwait, but as she tells it, “A couple of my friends told me, ‘You have just got to see the sea bands!’ and that was it.” She began her study of Kuwait’s folkloric music tradition, in which music of the sea is paramount. Art of the sea song The sea was once the very life-blood of Kuwaiti society in particular and Gulf society in general. Al- Fan Al-Bahri, or the Art of the Sea Song, is an art in which Kuwait’s roots are intertwined with Bahrain. -

Lübnan'da Ulusun İnşası Ve Ortak Tınının Üretimi
Lübnan’da Ulusun İnşası ve Ortak Tınının Üretimi - Rahbani Kardeşler ve Feyruz Namık Sinan TURAN* Özet 19. yüzyılda Lübnan’da görülen siyasi hareketlilik Osmanlı yönetiminin reformları, Birinci Dünya Savaşı’ndan sonra manda rejimi ve nihayet bağımsızlık sonrası yaratılmaya çalışan ulus devlet oldukça sorunlu bir zaman dilimine karşılık gelmiştir. Bu sürecin bir bölümünde Lübnan kimliği ülkedeki baskın etnik ve dini unsurlardan olan Marunilik temelinde yorumlanmaya çalışılırken, 1958 sonrasında özellikle Fuad Şihap’ın cumhurbaşkanlığı döneminden itibaren territorial anlamda Lübnanlılık anlayışı üzerinde inşa edilmeye çalışılacaktır. Yeni dönem kendi ulusal sembollerini ve ikonografik öğelerini üretirken kültürel kodlardan da yararlanacaktır. İcat edilmiş topluluğa dair bir teatral performans olarak nitelendirilen milliyetçiliğin ihtiyaç hissettiği sembollerden en etkili olanları arasında müzik ve müzikal tem- siller de yer alırlar. 1950’lerin sonundan itibaren Rahbani Kardeşlerin müziği ve bu müziğin taşıyıcısı olarak Feyruz’un konumu Lübnan’daki ulus inşa sürecinin en etkili araçlarından biri haline gelmiştir. Özellikle Baalbek Festivallerindeki etkili rolleri ve müzikallerinde kullandıkları temalar Lübnan’ın farklılıklar üzerine kurulu sosyo-politik kültürü açısından ortak bir tınının üretimini hedeflemiştir. Bu makalede Feyruz ve Rahbani Kardeşlerin müzikal birikimleri ile Lübnan’ın politik kırılmaları ve siyasal tarihinin biçimlenişi arasındaki ilişki incelenmektedir.

Eastern Liturgy in the West: the Case of the Armenian Church MICHAEL DANIEL FINDIKYAN
Eastern Liturgy in the West: The Case of the Armenian Church MICHAEL DANIEL FINDIKYAN I am not a specialist in the field of inculturation, so what I offer you is not at all a scholarly address; I will not in any way claim to be comprehensive or definitive in my remarks. That leaves me free to ruminate and to reflect with you on the topic at hand without the obligation to be systematic, or even to tie up loose ends. I shall speak to the topic of inculturation as a student of the history of liturgy and as a representative of the Christian East, specifically as a priest of the Armenian Orthodox Church, and as a practitioner of the Armenian Rite. My hope is that my remarks will leave many threads for you to pick at during our discussion later. Let our ruminations begin, therefore, with a bit of background for the purpose of contextualization. The Armenian Church is one of the so-called Oriental Orthodox Churches. Along with the Coptic, Ethiopian, Syrian (”Jacobite“), and Malankara Orthodox Churches, the Armenian Church is distinguished from the other Orthodox Churches (Greek, Russian, and so on) by its Christology, that is, by its rejection of the Fourth Ecumenical Council of Chalcedon and its particular formulation for understanding the humanity and divinity of Jesus Christ. In liturgical rite, history, and spirituality, however, the Oriental Orthodox Churches are actually quite distinct one from the other.1 Today the Armenian Rite is used or practiced by an estimated six million faithful of the Armenian Church, as well as approximately three hundred forty-four thousand members of the Armenian Catholic Church in communion with Rome. -
