The three dances examined here represent different regimes, contrasting forms of subjectivity, and very different relations of the individual to society.

  • Here from There—Travel, Television and Touring Revues: Internationalism As Entertainment in the 1950S and 1960S
    64 Jonathan Bollen Flinders University, Australia Here from There—travel, television and touring revues: internationalism as entertainment in the 1950s and 1960s Entertainments depicting national distinctions attracted Australian audiences in the 1950s and 1960s. Touring revues from overseas afforded opportunities to see the nations of the world arrayed on the stage. Each of the major producers of commercial entertainments in Australia imported revues from Europe, Africa, the Americas and East Asia. Like their counterparts in Hong Kong and Singapore, entrepreneurs in Australia harnessed an increasing global flow of performers, at a time when national governments, encouraged by their participation in the United Nations, were adopting cultural policies to foster national distinction and sending troupes of entertainers as cultural ambassadors on international tours. In this article the author explores the significance of internationalist entertainment in mid-20th century Australia, focusing on Oriental Cavalcade, an “East Meets West” revue from 1959 which toured with performers from Australia and Asia. At a time when television viewing was becoming a domestic routine and international aviation was becoming an affordable indulgence, producers of internationalist entertainments offered audiences in the theatre experiences of being away from home that were akin to tourism and travel beyond the domestic scene. Jonathan Bollen is a Senior Lecturer in Drama, Flinders University, Australia Keywords: variety, revue, aviation, tourism, travel, television, internationalism desire to create a national theatre for Australia gathered momentum A in the late-1940s and eventually gained traction.1 Government support for the performing arts was introduced with the establishment of the Australian Elizabethan Theatre Trust in 1954 and the subsequent founding of new national opera, theatre and ballet companies and the National Institute of Dramatic Art, while government investment in venues for the performing arts Popular Entertainment Studies, Vol.

  • Imaginings of Africa in the Music of Miles Davis by Ryan
    IMAGININGS OF AFRICA IN THE MUSIC OF MILES DAVIS BY RYAN S MCNULTY THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Music in Music with a concentration in Musicology in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2015 Urbana, Illinois Advisor: Associate Professor Gabriel Solis Abstract Throughout jazz’s history, many American jazz musicians have alluded to Africa using both musical and extramusical qualities. In musicological literature that has sought out ties between American jazz and Africa, such as Ingrid Monson’s Freedom Sounds (2007) and Robyn Kelly’s Africa Speaks, America Answers (2012), the primary interest has thus far been in such connections that occurred in the 1950s and early 1960s with the backdrop of the Civil Rights movement and the liberation of several African countries. Among the most frequently discussed musicians in this regard are Art Blakey, Max Roach, and Randy Weston. In this thesis, I investigate the African influence reflected in the music of Miles Davis, a musician scantly recognized in this area of jazz scholarship. Using Norman Weinstein’s concept of “imaginings,” I identify myriad ways in which Davis imagined Africa in terms of specific musical qualities as well as in his choice of musicians, instruments utilized, song and album titles, stage appearance, and album artwork. Additionally (and often alongside explicit references to Africa), Davis signified African-ness through musical qualities and instruments from throughout the African diaspora and Spain, a country whose historical ties to North Africa allowed Davis to imagine the European country as Africa.

    THE POLITICS OF REPRESENTATION AND TRANSMISSION IN THE GLOBALIZATION OF GUINEA'S DJEMBÉ by Vera H. Flaig A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Music: Musicology) in the University of Michigan 2010 Doctoral Committee: Professor Emeritus Judith O. Becker, Co-Chair Assistant Professor Christi-Anne Castro, Co-Chair Associate Professor Vanessa Helen Agnew Associate Professor Charles Hiroshi Garrett Associate Professor Mbala D. Nkanga © Vera Helga Flaig All rights reserved 2010 Dedication To Deborah Anne Duffey the wind beneath my wings; Herdith Flaig who encouraged me to be strong and independent; Erhardt Flaig who always believed in me; and Rainer Dörrer who gave his life for the djembé. ii Acknowledgements Given the scope of the research that preceded the writing of this dissertation, there are many people to thank. Of all the individuals I met in Germany, Guinea, and across the United States I am sure to miss a few. There are not enough pages to be able to name all people who have: helped me find directions, connect with informants, provided me a place to stay, shared their food, and compared notes in a djembé workshop. To all who remain nameless, I thank you for making this project possible. I would like to thank the Rackham Graduate School and the School of Music, Theatre and Dance at the University of Michigan for generously funding my graduate work. I was honored to receive a Board of Regents Fellowship as well as several Teaching Assistantships which helped me to reach candidacy. I was also honored to receive the Glen McGeoch memorial Scholarship during my final semester as a Graduate Student Instructor.
