  • Globalization and Performance of Place by Andreas Otte
    The music in Greenland and Greenland in the music Globalization and performance of place By Andreas Otte This research has been financed by the Commission for Scientific Research in Greenland (KVUG) Abstract The history of Greenlandic music is one of cross-local interconnectedness. Styles and trends have evolved as a result of globalization, but there is a significant trend amongst popular music artists in Greenland to perform a sense of local and national identity in their music, and to produce music that is relevant to a na- tional context. Through a look at how musical styles have evolved in Greenland, and how popular music trends have changed over time, in this article, I trace the presence of a broadly acknowledged repertoire of sounds and lyrical themes for performing place in music. Through a discussion of the role of place in music that draws on Massey’s ‘global sense of place’ (1994), I suggest that in music, places are best understood as meeting points, and that place as meeting point is in some form or another always noticeable in music. I furthermore argue that place in music is often connected to local contexts both by drawing on locally de- veloped particularity, but also by being affected by the history of globalization in local places. 2 The music in Greenland and Greenland in the music Globalization and performance of place Andreas Otte This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Navngivelse-IkkeKommerciel 3.0 Unported License.

  • Nyhedsbrev 3 2017
    SEPTEMBER - 2017 NYT FRA GRØNLANDS REPRÆSENTATION I KØBENHAVN 'Nap' - Bryggen Nordpå med Ambassadørerne I sidste nyhedsbrev fortalte vi om en kommende ambassadørrejse til Grønland. Den store ambassadørrejse er nu afsluttet. 4 dage i starten af sommeren, var jeg som Repræsentationschef ledsager for 17 ambassadørers rejse til Grønland. Følgende landes ambassadører deltog; Armenien, Tjekkiet, Letland, Ungarn, Kina, Spanien, Portugal, Irland, Holland, Brasilien, Bangladesh, Belgien, Rumænien, Korea, Georgien, Australien. Arrangørerne var udenrigsministeriets protokol, selvstyrets protokol samt Grønlands repræsentation i København. Rejsen startede i Københavns Lufthavns kongeport og værelse, hvorfra der var en særlig bus som bragte os til Air Greenland. I lokalet var der mulighed for at mødes, glædes og få kaffe, herunder gennemgik UM nogle praktiske informationer om rejsen. Det var tydeligt at mærke at, ambassadørerne var spændte på at komme til Grønland. Der var en forventning til nogle interessante oplevelser. Air Greenlands Airbus var stuvende fyldt, bl.a. var der en stor gruppe turistrejsende fra Kina, som glædede den Kinesiske ambassadør, og han talte med de to guider som ledsagede gruppen. Det var turister som skulle til Kangerlussuaq og videre med skib derfra, i deres grønlandsfærd. Jeg sad selv ved siden af den georgiske ambassadør og én af de PET folk som ledsagede os under hele rejsen, her fik jeg interessante historier om Georgien, et land som grænser op til Rusland, Tyrkiet, Armenien, Aserbajdsjan og endelig til Sortehavet. Jeg lyttede til sproget, som er helt særegent, og tales af de 4,5 mio indbyggere. Der er bjerge med sne og skiområder, mens landbrug er hovederhvervet, inkl. vinproduktion. Dette fik jeg endda en smagning på ved vores sejltur til Ilimanaq senere.
