Connecting Through Dance Connecting Through Dance: The Multiplicity of Meanings of Kurdish Folk Dances in Turkey Mona Maria Nyberg Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the M.A. degree Department of Social Anthropology, University of Bergen Spring 2012 The front page photograph is taken by Mona Maria Nyberg at a Kurdish wedding celebration. The women who are dancing in the picture are not informants. II Acknowledgements While studying for an exam during my time as a bachelor student, I read a work by Professor Bruce Kapferer which made me reconsider my decision of not applying for the master program; I could write about dance, I realized. And now I have! The process has been challenging and intense, but well worth it. Throughout this journey I have been anything but alone on this, and the list of persons who have contributed is too long to mention. First of all I need to thank my informants. Without you this thesis could not have been written. Thank you for your help and generosity! Especially I want to thank everyone at the culture centers for allowing me do fieldwork and participate in activities. My inmost gratitude goes to two of my informants, whose names I cannot write out of reasons of anonymity - but you know who you are. I want to thank you for allowing me into your lives and making me part of your family. You have contributing to my fieldwork by helping me in in innumerous ways, being my translators – both in terms of language and culture. You have become two of my closest friends. I have been privileged with having an adviser who has taken interest in and believed in my project from beginning to end. Dr. Kjetil Knaus Fosshagen has with his understanding and patient advice encouraged me to see my material more clearly and make it into an anthropological text. Special thanks go to Ingvild Skodvin Prestegård for helpful academic advice and feedback. For proofreading, I would like to thank Signe Wiger, Astrid Elisabeth Guåker, and Sheri Homayoon. My appreciation also goes to Haci Akman for encouraging me to do fieldwork in ‘Kurdistan’. I want to thank my master class of 2011, whose social environment has become renowned for its fellowship. Your support, advice, and always creative lunch time conversations have made this journey far more enjoyable than I had imagined it would be. Having gone through the writing process with my health intact is in large part due to the catering services of Mari Lilja Svarva and the inspiration from the instructors at the SIB gym. Finally, I want to thank my family for your love and support. III In loving memory of my grandparents who passed away during the writing of this thesis.

  • A Delicate Balance Negotiating Isolation and Globalization in the Burmese Performing Arts Catherine Diamond
    A Delicate Balance Negotiating Isolation and Globalization in the Burmese Performing Arts Catherine Diamond If you walk on and on, you get to your destination. If you question much, you get your information. If you do not sleep and idle, you preserve your life! (Maung Htin Aung 1959:87) So go the three lines of wisdom offered to the lazy student Maung Pauk Khaing in the well- known eponymous folk tale. A group of impoverished village youngsters, led by their teacher Daw Khin Thida, adapted the tale in 2007 in their first attempt to perform a play. From a well-to-do family that does not understand her philanthropic impulses, Khin Thida, an English teacher by profession, works at her free school in Insein, a suburb of Yangon (Rangoon) infamous for its prison. The shy students practiced first in Burmese for their village audience, and then in English for some foreign donors who were coming to visit the school. Khin Thida has also bought land in Bagan (Pagan) and is building a culture center there, hoping to attract the street children who currently pander to tourists at the site’s immense network of temples.

  • Why Stockton Folk Dance Camp Still Produces a Syllabus
    Syllabus of Dance Descriptions STOCKTON FOLK DANCE CAMP – 2018 FINAL In Memoriam Rickey Holden – 1926-2017 Rickey was a square and folk dance teacher, researcher, caller, record producer, and author. Rickey was largely responsible for spreading recreational international folk dancing throughout Europe and Asia. Rickey learned ballroom dance in Austin Texas in 1935 and 1936. He started square and contra dancing in Vermont in 1939. He taught international folk dance all over Europe and Asia, eventually making his home base in Brussels. He worked with Folkraft Records in the early years. He taught at Stockton Folk Dance Camp in the 1940s and 50s, plus an additional appearance in 1992. In addition to dozens of books about square dancing, he also authored books on Israeli, Turkish, Bulgarian, Hungarian, Greek, and Macedonian dance. STOCKTON FOLK DANCE CAMP – 2018 FINAL Preface Many of the dance descriptions in the syllabus have been or are being copyrighted. They should not be reproduced in any form without permission. Specific permission of the instructors involved must be secured. Camp is satisfied if a suitable by-line such as “Learned at Folk Dance Camp, University of the Pacific” is included. Loui Tucker served as editor of this syllabus, with valuable assistance from Karen Bennett and Joyce Lissant Uggla. We are indebted to members of the Dance Research Committee of the Folk Dance Federation of California (North and South) for assistance in preparing the Final Syllabus.

  • An Analysis of the Religious Belief Characteristics of Southeast Asian Dance
    2020 3rd International Conference on Interdisciplinary Social Sciences & Humanities (SOSHU 2020) An Analysis of the Religious Belief Characteristics of Southeast Asian Dance Feirui Li Guangxi University For Nationalities, Guangxi, Nanning, 530006, China Keywords: Southeast asian dance, Religious beliefs, Thailand Abstract: The dances in Southeast Asia are colorful and can be divided into four major dance systems: Buddhism, Puppet, Hinduism and Islam. The four major dance systems are influenced by India's two epics. In some Southeast Asian countries, such as Thailand and Vietnam, their religious culture is closely linked to dance arts. Strong religious culture permeates dance music, style and dance vocabulary. Based on the analysis of Southeast Asian dance art, this paper takes Thai dance art as an example to further elaborate its religious and cultural charm. 1. Introduction Engels said that religion, like philosophy, is a “higher, i.e. more far from the material economic foundation of ideology” [1]. However, as an ideology, it not only experienced the process of development and processing, but also developed independently according to its own laws. Religious culture and dance culture. Asean art, as a new breakthrough in Chinese art research, is very research-oriented [2]. Southeast Asia is made up of Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, Indonesia and other countries. Due to geographical and religious reasons, Southeast Asian countries represented by Indonesia, Thailand and Myanmar live alone in dance culture and are relatively developed [3]. Dances in Southeast Asia have strong religious color of Buddhism and Hinduism. As a result, the dance branches in Southeast Asia present four major dance departments, namely puppet dance department, Hindu dance department, Buddhist dance department and Islamic dance department.

  • In Collaboration with CSTM/SCTM
    FEREN CON CE PROGRAM laboration with CSTM/ In col SCTM IC TM 2011 WE’RE PROUD TO WELCOME THE 41ST WORLD CONFERENCE OF ICTM to Memorial University and to St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador. This is a unique corner of Canada, the only part that was once an independent country and then the newest Canadian province (since 1949) but one of the oldest meeting points for natives and new- comers in North America. With four Aboriginal cultures (Inuit, Innu, Mi’kmaq, Métis); deep French, English, Irish, and Scottish roots; and a rapidly diversifying contemporary society, our citizens have shared a dramatic history, including a tsunami, an occupation during WWII, a fragile dependence on the sea including a cod moratorium in recent decades, a key role in the events of 9/11, and more recently, an oil boom. Its nickname – The Rock – tells a lot about its spectacular geography but also about its resilient culture. Traditional music and dance are key ingredients in life here, as we hope you will learn in the week ahead. Our meetings will take place at Memorial University, shown in the foreground of the photo below, and in the Arts & Culture Centre just to the west of the campus. To celebrate the conference themes in music itself, and to bring the public in contact with the remarkable range of scholars and musicians in our midst, we have organized the SOUNDshift Festival to run concurrently with the World Conference of ICTM. Five concerts, open to delegates and the general public, workshops by ICTM members and musicians featured on the concerts, and films are available as part of this festival.
