LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT MUSIC DANCING CRAFTS SINGING FOOD JAMMING SPRING Dear Friends: The seventy-fourth annual New England Folk Festival has arrived!!! I am so excited to be able to enjoy this time with you. Dearer to me than ever is the chance to reunite with old and new friends. The lively music, the zesty dancing, the singing, the costumes and the crafts – these are things we cherish each year. They are also expressions of a deeper goal. At NEFFA we seek to fulfill NEFFA’s specific purpose, as outlined decades ago by the organization’s founders: “To preserve folk traditions in New England and elsewhere, and to encourage the development of a living folk culture.” Our simple aim for the upcoming Festival is to create a weekend filled with fun and joy. NEFFA is really just a large extended family, and we have lost someone who has had a large influence on not just how the program gets shaped but how we treat each other in the process. Linda Leslie was mentor and friend to many of us. We will hold a special tribute to our beloved Program Chair, Board member, and friend on Saturday at 8 PM in the High School gym.

  • South East Europe Jim Samson Published Online: 13 January 2015
    South East Europe Jim Samson https://doi.org/10.1093/gmo/9781561592630.article.2274378 Published online: 13 January 2015 A meta region within Europe. Its geographical boundaries are imprecise, but the Balkan peninsula is usually regarded as core territory. Constituent nation states are Albania, Bulgaria, Greece, Cyprus, Romania, and at least five of the six former republics of Yugoslavia, themselves now independent states: Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, and Macedonia. The term ‘South East Europe’, which is generally favoured in the region itself, suggests an accommodation to the new Europe, and implicitly recognizes that these nations are either members, or aspiring members, of the European Union. In contrast, an alternative term, ‘Balkans’, tends to signify the Ottoman past of the region, and has acquired a negative resonance in some quarters (as in the frequent pejorative use of ‘Balkanization’ to suggest a process of fragmentation or division). The historian Maria Todorova equates the term ‘Balkans’ with Ottoman presence and legacy, and accordingly some commentators include Turkey in the region, and exclude Slovenia. There appears to be a consensus that Hungary, despite the Ottoman presence there, has been too closely aligned to Central Europe, or East Central Europe (to use two labels that carry their own ideological burden), to be included in this region, whether labelled South East Europe or the Balkans. Likewise Moldova, despite its cultural and linguistic links with Romania, is conventionally excluded because of its history within the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union. 1. Historical overview. In their multi-volume History of the Literary Cultures of East-Central Europe, Marcel Cornis-Pope and John Neubauer set out, among other things, to recover aspects of literary history that have been suppressed or distorted by an all-pervasive national perspective.
