  • L'italia E L'eurovision Song Contest Un Rinnovato
    La musica unisce l'Europa… e non solo C'è chi la definisce "La Champions League" della musica e in fondo non sbaglia. L'Eurovision è una grande festa, ma soprattutto è un concorso in cui i Paesi d'Europa si sfidano a colpi di note. Tecnicamente, è un concorso fra televisioni, visto che ad organizzarlo è l'EBU (European Broadcasting Union), l'ente che riunisce le tv pubbliche d'Europa e del bacino del Mediterraneo. Noi italiani l'abbiamo a lungo chiamato Eurofestival, i francesi sciovinisti lo chiamano Concours Eurovision de la Chanson, l'abbreviazione per tutti è Eurovision. Oggi più che mai una rassegna globale, che vede protagonisti nel 2016 43 paesi: 42 aderenti all'ente organizzatore più l'Australia, che dell'EBU è solo membro associato, essendo fuori dall'area (l’anno scorso fu invitata dall’EBU per festeggiare i 60 anni del concorso per via dei grandi ascolti che la rassegna fa in quel paese e che quest’anno è stata nuovamente invitata dall’organizzazione). L'ideatore della rassegna fu un italiano: Sergio Pugliese, nel 1956 direttore della RAI, che ispirandosi a Sanremo volle creare una rassegna musicale europea. La propose a Marcel Bezençon, il franco-svizzero allora direttore generale del neonato consorzio eurovisione, che mise il sigillo sull'idea: ecco così nascere un concorso di musica con lo scopo nobile di promuovere la collaborazione e l'amicizia tra i popoli europei, la ricostituzione di un continente dilaniato dalla guerra attraverso lo spettacolo e la tv. E oltre a questo, molto più prosaicamente, anche sperimentare una diretta in simultanea in più Paesi e promuovere il mezzo televisivo nel vecchio continente.

  • The Term Soft Power Has Been Championed by Joseph S
    Strategy for export of Kosovo’s cultural assets Olta Andoni* I. Introduction Kosovo, the NEWBORN state, is enjoying its independence. The long dreamed aspirations are more than real for Kosovo right now. Looking forward to the future and being recognized by more countries is another “war” for Kosovo. Seeking new avenues in this direction is the key to the newest state in the world. However, the next “war” of Kosovo has to be a muted and psychological one. Whether it will be successful or not depends on a series of factors. Kosovo, as a new independent state, is more focused on working toward the accession by new states, neglecting the relevance of the arts and culture in the process. But no development is expected without the interplay of the culture. If culture is defined as the entire system of beliefs, practices and customs that exist in a society, it is the foundation that supports every development.1 Economic development without cultural roots will never be sustainable.2 Relying on the power of art and culture is crucial for Kosovo’s future. This paper examines the importance of the art and culture on bridging the gap between a new state, its neighbors and the world. * LL.M. IP Candidate 2009, Chicago-Kent College of Law. Thank you to Prof. Perritt for encouraging the author to come up with a strategy to assist the export of cultural assets of the newest state in the world, Kosovo. 1The power of Culture, http://powerofculture.nl/en/theme/policy.html, (last visited on Dec.2, 2008).

  • Rita Ora– I Will Never Let You Down
    Rita Ora – I Will bitenewsingles Never Let You Down e have truly missed singing sensation Rita Ora! Now she’s back with a new single, ‘I Will Never Let You Down’ written by beau Calvin Harris, and a sexy and stylish hairdo. The new single is the first release from ORA RITA her forthcoming sophomore album and if her certified platinum first Walbum, Ora, is anything to go by, which clocked up an incredible three consecutive No.1 singles, her second offering should also set the charts ablaze. ‘I Will Never Let You Down’ is said to be the perfect union of two huge powerhouses making the ultimate feel good song. Rita said: “This is the perfect song to launch my new album because I wanted to be as personal and honest as possible. I’m in a very good place and I really wanted people to see how I felt and how I want other people to feel when they listen to it – happy! I love the fact this is such an uplifting love song.” To bring her creative vision to life for the new single, Rita enlisted the help of Italian-born photographer and Emmy-Award-nominated director Francesco Carrozzini, who has worked with global A-list stars such as Natalie Portman, Scarlett Johanssen, Naomi Campbell and Beyoncé. As well as shooting the artwork for the campaign, the director worked closely with the singer to create the stunning video for ‘I Will Never Let You Down’. Despite being absent from our airwaves for a time, Rita has been working hard on home turf in the UK and stateside on her album.

  • Youth Policy in Albania Council of Europe in 1997
    ID 9540 Albania is the seventeenth country to have undergone an international review of its national youth policy, a series which was started by the Youth policy in Albania Council of Europe in 1997. The review was performed in 2009 during two one-week visits by a team of international experts working on the basis of the Albanian National Youth Strategy, published in 2007. The report focuses on three issues identified by the Albanian government: the law, delivery mechanisms and youth participation, and three issues identified as important by the review team itself: youth information, leisure-time activities and youth crime and justice. While reviewing the youth policy in Albania with special attention to theses issues, the international team came across a number of specific or cross-sectoral subjects (education, health, minorities, etc.) which helped depict a broad picture of the situation of young people in the country. Recommendations made by the international team, cover not only government action, but address steps to be taken by those who take part, at all levels, in the shaping of youth policy in Albania. Youth policy in Albania The Council of Europe has 47 member states, covering virtually the entire continent of Europe. It seeks to develop common democratic and legal principles based on the European Convention on Human Rights and other reference texts on the protection of individuals. Ever since it was founded in 1949, in the aftermath of the Second World War, the Council of Europe has symbolised reconciliation.

  • (Egipt: 18. 9. 1986-16. 3. 1987; Kosovo: Večkratno Bivanje Od Leta 1983 Dalje) Po
    Muzikološki zbornik Musicological Annual XXIV, Ljubljana 1988 MAGISTRSKA DELA M.A. WORKS Svanibor Pettan Sodobna ljudska plesna glasba v Egiptu in sorodni pojavi v ljudski glasbi Kosova Modern-day Folk Dancing Music in Egypt and Some Related Aspects of the Folk Music of Kosovo Avtor navezuje svoje delo na diplomsko nalogo „Vpogled v glasbeno življenje na tanzanijskih otokih Zanzibar in Pemba" (Zagreb, 1983), s katero je nakazal odklon od evropocentrizma in usmerjenosti na jugoslovansko ozemlje, ki je zakoreninjena v naši etnomuzikologiji. S pomočjo novega gradiva, zbranega pri terenskem raziskovanju (Egipt: 18. 9. 1986-16. 3. 1987; Kosovo: večkratno bivanje od leta 1983 dalje) po­ vezuje določen del ljudske glasbe na zemljepisno oddaljenih področjih, ki sta del kul­ turne sfere islama in ki sta bili stoletja v turškem imperiju. Poznavanje ljudske glasbe na ozemlju Kosova pomaga pri razumevanju „virov", podatki, zbrani v glasbeno najpo­ membnejši arabski deželi, pa omogočajo osvetlitev sorodnih pojavov na Kosovu. če­ prav bi osredotočenje na klasično arabsko glasbo pokazalo izrazitejše podobnosti z ur­ bano glasbeno prakso te jugoslovanske pokrajine, je avtor zavestno izbral še ne dovolj obdelano tematiko, ki nam daje koristen vpogled v vsako področje posebej in potem tudi primerjavo. Razprava obsega štiri dele. Uvod pojasnjuje izbor teme in opozarja na značilnosti metodologije dela za vsako področje posebej. Druga tematska enota je posvečena Egiptu. Potem ko so podani splošni podatki, je gradivo glede glasbe in plesa razporeje­ no v treh poglavjih. Ta zajemajo: stari Egipt do nastopa islama, islamizirani Egipt do srede 20. stoletja in drugo polovico XX. stoletja, kjer je tudi izvedena bolj temeljita obravnava glasbe, plesa in instrumentov.
