O’Shea, Chair This dissertation presents a critical examination of dance and multiple movements across the Coromandel in a pivotal period: the long eighteenth century. On the eve of British colonialism, this period was one of profound political and economic shifts; new princely states and ruling elite defined themselves in the wake of Mughal expansion and decline, weakening Nayak states in the south, the emergence of several European trading companies as political stakeholders and a series of fiscal crises. In the midst of this rapidly changing landscape, new performance paradigms emerged defined by hybrid repertoires, focus on structure and contingent relationships to space and place – giving rise to what we understand today as classical south Indian dance. Far from stable or isolated tradition fixed in space and place, I argue that dance as choreographic ii practice, theorization and representation were central to the negotiation of changing geopolitics, urban milieus and individual mobility.

    International Journal on Textile Engineering and Processes Vol. 4, Issue 3 July 2018 The Chhaw Dance of Bengal! Dr. B. Basu1, Ms. Laboni Banerjee2 1-Adjunct faculty, SGGS College of Engineering and Technology, Nanded. 2-Appeared in final year in Bachelor of Design course in Viswa Bharati University, Shantiniketan. Email: [email protected], [email protected] Introduction India is the country of Art and Culture. In ancient days the dances used to be performed mainly of two types i.e. indoor and outdoor. The indoor dances used to be showed off by the sophisticated Artists in the King`s Palaces for the entertainment purpose! In those days of Mahabharata, the dancing art was found that Arjuna used to perform dance at the Royal Court of Birat Raja as “Brihannalla’. The outdoor dances used to be performed by the villagers during any festival, joy, ceremony, worshipping of Goddess and most of the dances were from noble mind and aspirations. It used to be the group dances participated by the one and all. Hence gradually the Folk dances and Tribal dances started arriving. Almost every state is having its own style of Folk Dances. This art form combines dance, music, drama, instrumental music, facial and body makeup, martial art and ritualistic functions, composed in a harmonizing manner.Tribal Dances in India are inspired by the tribal folklore. Each ethnic group has its own distinct combination of myths, legends, tales, proverbs, riddles, ballads, folk songs, folk dance, and folkmusic. India has a number of classical Indian dance forms, each of which can be traced to different parts of the country.

  • 320+ Halloween Songs and Albums
    320+ Halloween Songs and Albums Over 320 Songs for Halloween Theme Rides in Your Indoor Cycling Classes Compiled by Jennifer Sage, updated October 2014 Halloween presents a unique opportunity for some really fun musically themed classes—the variety is only limited by your imagination. Songs can include spooky, dark, or classic-but-cheesy Halloween tunes (such as Monster Mash). Or you can imagine the wide variety of costumes and use those themes. I’ve included a few common themes such as Sci-Fi and Spy Thriller in my list. Over the years I’ve gotten many of these song suggestions from various online forums, other instructors, and by simply searching online music sources for “Halloween”, “James Bond”, “Witch”, “Ghost” and other key words. This is my most comprehensive list to date. If you have more song ideas, please email them to me so I can continually update this list for future versions. [email protected]. This year’s playlist contains 50 new specific song suggestions and numerous new album suggestions. I’ve included a lot more from the “darkwave” and “gothic” genres. I’ve added “Sugar/Candy” as its own theme. Sources: It’s impossible to list multiple sources for every song but to speed the process up for you, we list at least one source so you don’t spend hours searching for these songs. As with music itself, you have your own preference for downloading sources, so you may want to check there first. Also, some countries may not have the same music available due to music rights.

    FOLK DANCING ,.,./ C-, -; --;:7 . ,7 The folk dance as we know it is mostly peasant dances, as opposed to court, theatrical or ballroom dances, although it has absorbed some aspects of the other types of dancing. Folk dancing began in this country when per- Fqns of many nationalities came here bringing with them their countries1 . aces. Since most of the immigrants to the U. S. came from Europe, most Ameri- can folk dance has European roots. Folk dancing was a natural, spontaneous expression by the people. Children learned by watching and imitating the adults, thereby maintaining tradition. Some additional steps might have been invented by someone, but the basic pattern of tradition was not changed. In addition to dances being handed down from generation to generation in peasant villages, there are other sources of folk dances being done today. Some folk dance leaders take movements from several villages, put them together and choreograph dances incorporating all the movements. They are then new dances but not characteristic of any particular village. Choreographed dances are also made up by using steps that have been han- ded down but put in different formations or combinations to become new dances --folk dances because they use the same styling and same movements as peasant dances but, at the same time, fresh, new dances. An instructor might also revive old, almost forgotten dances. He would use folk movements he knows in a way he thinks the dances would be done by the villagers. Music plays a part in the creating of folk dances, too. Sometimes music so well liked that spontaneous dances are made up to the already popular melody.

  • Social Media Analytics for Youtube Comments: Potential and Limitations1 Mike Thelwall
    Social Media Analytics for YouTube Comments: Potential and Limitations1 Mike Thelwall School of Mathematics and Computing, University of Wolverhampton, UK The need to elicit public opinion about predefined topics is widespread in the social sciences, government and business. Traditional survey-based methods are being partly replaced by social media data mining but their potential and limitations are poorly understood. This article investigates this issue by introducing and critically evaluating a systematic social media analytics strategy to gain insights about a topic from YouTube. The results of an investigation into sets of dance style videos show that it is possible to identify plausible patterns of subtopic difference, gender and sentiment. The analysis also points to the generic limitations of social media analytics that derive from their fundamentally exploratory multi-method nature. Keywords: social media analytics; YouTube comments; opinion mining; gender; sentiment; issues Introduction Questionnaires, interviews and focus groups are standard social science and market research methods for eliciting opinions from the public, service users or other specific groups. In industry, mining social media for opinions expressed in public seems to be standard practice with commercial social media analytics software suites that include an eclectic mix of data mining tools (e.g., Fan & Gordon, 2014). Within academia, there is also a drive to generate effective methods to mine the social web (Stieglitz, Dang-Xuan, Bruns, & Neuberger, 2014). From a research methods perspective, there is a need to investigate the generic limitations of new methodological approaches. Many existing social research techniques have been adapted for the web, such as content analysis (Henrich & Holmes, 2011), ethnography (Hine, 2000), surveys (Crick, 2012; Harrison, Wilding, Bowman, Fuller, Nicholls, et al.

Armenian Weekly, 13 August 2009 Below is a statement endorsed by the Society for Armenian Studies and the International Association for Armenian Studies and released on Aug. 13. It is preceded by a brief introduction from the initiators of the signature campaign. The following statement was endorsed several weeks ago by the Society for Armenian Studies and the International Association for Armenian Studies in response to misleading and slanderous pronouncements on Armenian television and the internet by individuals in Glendale, Calif. Despite the provocation, it seemed preferable at the time not to distribute this statement to the media in the hope that the smear campaign would run its course and disappear. That indeed seemed to be happening until July 28, when an Armenian newspaper received and unsuspectingly printed a report from the Yerevan news agency Armenpress regarding alleged statements ascribed to the Director of the Armenian Studies and Humanities Division of the Armenian National Academy of Sciences Dr.
