For another reading of this history see Zygmunt Bauman, Modernity and the Holocaust (Cambridge: Polity Press, 1989), especially Chapter 2. Bauman works with a rather more uni- versalist understanding of Jewish difference. Thus, for example, Bauman writes that: “Once the term ‘antisemitism’ had been coined and come into general use toward the end of the nineteenth century, it was acknowledged that the phenomenon that the newly forged term 242 Notes tried to capture had a long past, reaching deep into antiquity, virtually unbroken continuity was recognized in historical evidence of resentment and discrimination towards Jews extend- ing over two millennia.” 33. 3.

  • Smithsonian Folkways Recordings: a Question of Balance
    Smithsonian Folkways Recordings: A Question of Balance D. A. Sonnebom How does a small record label, operating within a large museum setting, balance its educational mission's imperatives against economic need, a pair of priorities inherently in conflict? The following is a personal and reflexive view, affected in some measure by oral transmissions received from institutional elders but based always on my own experience. When I was a child, my home was filled with music from all over the world, including many releases from Folkways Records. Individually and as a collection, the music opened windows of my imagination and initiated a sense of curiosity and wonder about the experience and perception of others. The material ignited a musical passion that has proved lasting. I have served as Assistant Director of Smithsonian Folkways Recordings since 1998 and thus have had opportunity to live with the tensions of its "mission vs. operational needs" polarity, both to ask and try to answer the question on a daily basis. I offer this essay to readers in hopes that it may help demythologize and demystify the process whereby recordings of community-based traditions are promulgated from the setting of the United States national museum and into the increasingly globalized marketplace. The attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon in September 2001 exacerbated an economic contraction already in progress in the U.S. and produced a precipitous drop in recording sales during that year's last few months. The North American music industry continued depressed in 2002, with sales down on average more than ten percent as compared to the prior year.

  • The Brothers Nazaroff 1
    THE HAPPY PRINCE NAZAROVYE! A GREETING FROM THE BROTHERS NAZARISHE GREETINGS TO ALL. Thank you for acquiring this most joyous of musical tributes to our beloved lost uncle, the “Prince.” Three score years ago, the venerable Moses Asch released Nathan “Prince” Nazaroff’s 10” record, Jewish Freilach Songs (FW 6809). It has since proved to be a guiding light in the search for a missing link between our post-modern Babylo- nian exile and the lost Atlantis of Yiddish “Middle-Europe.” The “Prince” came to our American shores in 1914, as the old world crumbled. One hundred years later, we, the amalgamated and wind-strewn spiritual nephews of the great Nazaroff, have gathered to honor our lost Tumler Extraordinaire, a true troubadour of the vanished Yiddish street. Leaving our homes in New York, Berlin, Budapest, Moscow, and France, we began recording these songs in an astrological library in Michigan and finished up in an attic in Berlin. We were armed with a smattering of languages, several instruments, a bird whistle from Istanbul, and the indispensable liner notes to the original Folkways album (available for download from Smithsonian Folkways’ website—we encourage any listener to this recording to obtain a copy). We have tried to stay true to Nazaroff’s neshome (soul), khokhme (wit), style, and sense of music. The “Prince” was truly a big-time performer. By keeping his music alive, we hope to bring him into an even bigger time: the future. So let’s now celebrate the discordant, obscure, jubilant, ecstatic legacy of our Happy “Prince.” NAZAROVYE! THE HAPPY PRINCE THE BROTHERS NAZAROFF 1 THE HAPPY PRINCE 1.

Bringing together original historical research on the radical press and close readings of Yiddish avant-garde poetry by Moyshe-Leyb Halpern, Peretz Markish, Yankev Glatshteyn, and others, I show that the development of anarchist modernism was both a transnational literary trend and a complex worldview. My research draws from hitherto unread material in international archives to document the world of the Yiddish anarchist press and assess the scope of its literary influence. The dissertation’s theoretical framework is informed by diaspora studies, gender studies, and translation theory, to which I introduce anarchist diasporism as a new term.

  • Nomination Form International Memory of the World Register
    Nomination form International Memory of the World Register MOSES AND FRANCES ASCH COLLECTION Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage, Smithsonian Institution ID Code [2014-66] 1.0 Summary With the mission of representing an “encyclopedia of sound,” the Moses and Frances Asch Collection (1926-1987) serves as a unique testament to the breadth and depth of the twentieth-century human experience. The collection features material of both famous and lesser known writers, poets, documentarians, ethnographers, and grass roots musicians from around the world. The series Folkways Records includes a diversity of documentary, audio, visual, and business materials from Folkways Records, one of the most influential record labels of the twentieth century. American folk icon Woody Guthrie recorded on Folkways, and the collection includes selections of his correspondence, lyrics, drawings, and writings in the series The Woody Guthrie Papers. The collection notably contains correspondence with numerous influential individuals of the twentieth century, such as John Cage, Langston Hughes, Margaret Walker, Lead Belly, Pete Seeger, Peggy Seeger, Ewan MacColl, Alan Lomax, Kenneth Patchen, and others. It also includes ethnographic field notes and field photographs by Béla Bartók, Henry Cowell, Sidney Robertson Cowell, Harold Courlander, and Sam Charters. Moses Asch’s business papers from his various record labels, including but not limited to Folkways Records, offers insight to the history of the recording industry and music business. The collection prominently features audio recordings of rare and extinct documentary sounds, both man-made and natural, such as steam engines, extinct and endangered animal species, minority languages, and occupational soundscapes of years past. Moses Asch hired prominent artists and graphic designers to create album cover art for commercial recordings.

  • Anthology of American Folk Music”--Harry Smith, Editor (1952) Added to the National Registry: 2005 Essay by Ian Nagoski (Guest Post)*
    “Anthology of American Folk Music”--Harry Smith, editor (1952) Added to the National Registry: 2005 Essay by Ian Nagoski (guest post)* Original album package “An Anthology of American Folk Music” is a compilation of 84 vernacular performances from commercial 78rpm discs originally issued during the years 1927-32. It was produced by Harry Smith and issued as three two-LP sets by Moses Asch’s Folkways Records in 1952. It was kept in print from the time of its original release for three decades before it was reissued on compact disc to critical heraldry by Smithsonian/ Folkways in 1997. During the 1950s and 60s, the collection deeply influenced a generation of musicians and listeners and has helped to define the idea of “American Music” in the popular imagination, due in large part to the peculiar sensibilities of its compiler, Harry Smith. Smith was born Mary 29, 1923 in Portland, Oregon, and raised in small towns in the northwest by parents with humdrum jobs and involvements with both Lummi Indians (on this mother’s side) and Masonry and Spiritualism (on his father’s). By his teens, he had attended exclusive Indian ceremonies and bought recordings by African-American performers, including Memphis Minnie, Rev. F.W. McGee, Tommy McClennan, and Yank Rachell, which lit the fuse of a life-long fireworks display of obsessive collecting of records that were “exotic in relation to what was considered the world culture of high class music,” as he put it in a 1960s interview with John Cohen. After a year and half studying anthology at the University of Seattle, Smith relocated to Berkeley, California, ca.
