  • Acting the Nation
    Acting the Nation Women on the Stage and in the Audience of Theatre in the Late Ottoman Empire and Early Turkish Republic Cora Skylstad TYR 4590 – Master’s thesis in Turkish Studies Area Studies of Asia, the Middle East and Africa Department of Cultural Studies and Oriental Languages UNIVERSITY OF OSLO October 2010 ii iii Abstract In the first decades of the 20th century, the public position of actresses underwent a radical transformation in Turkey. While the acting profession had long been commonly regarded as unsuitable for Muslim women and had been monopolized by women belonging to the non- Muslim minorities, in the 1920s the Muslim actress was not only legitimized but in fact embraced by the state as a model for Turkish women. In the works of Turkish and Ottoman theatre history, the emergence of Muslim actresses has been given some attention, but it has not been studied from a critical perspective inspired by theoretical questions. Moreover, the process of legitimization of Muslim women as theatre audience, which took place prior to the legitimization of the actresses, has been ignored. The present thesis seeks to develop a better understanding of these developments by approaching them as part of social and political history, while drawing inspiration from an interdisciplinary field of scholarship on gender and theatre. The time period studied begins with the late era of the Ottoman Empire and ends with the early years of the Turkish Republic, covering a time span of more than fifty years. In order to capture the complexities of the subject, a wide array of written sources, including memoirs, interviews, theatre reviews, books and a theatre play, are included in the analysis.

    THE CITY COLLEGE OF NEW YORK VIRTUAL SALUTE TO GRADUATES JUNE 30, 2020 THE CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK VIRTUAL SALUTE 2020 | 1 PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Dear CCNY Graduates of the Class of 2020, There are moments in our history that impress an indelible mark upon us, when we are called to do extraordinary things under the press of an indescribable moment. Anyone graduating in the midst of the COVID19 pandemic will be marked by this extraordinary moment. But even among that national class graduating in 2020, you are different. At a time when the inequitable imprint of this scourge underscores the other inequities in our society, the City College—and those who work study and graduate from it—stand apart. You graduate from an institution established to redress inequality, an institution that each generation has the responsibility of scanning the social and Vince Boudreau political landscape, and setting its sights on rectifying that which sits most uneasily in President the light of that responsibility. It has been over fifty years since we have faced the kinds of challenges we face today to our democracy, to the fabric of our society, and to the health and security of our people. As an institution, we were made for this moment. As graduates of CCNY, you now shoulder the responsibility of giving voice to your vision of that just society, a vision we have worked to develop and instill in you all the days of your work with us. You have struggled, sometimes mightily and against long odds, to reach this day, and we beam with pride at your accomplishment.

  • Romanian Music
    Romanian music Romanian music is very similar to serbian music. They have type of music that they call ,,Manele’’ and we call it ,,Turbo-folk’’. From this group of music, almost every time when you will go out, you will hear ,,Saint-Tropez’’. This song has a very danceable music and a lot of people enjoy when DJ plays that. So, let’s talk about some other types of music and songs that you will hear, for sure, when you will go out. Hmm, from where to start? From Inna, of course. She is the most popular Romanian singer around the world. It’s a little bit strange that you will not hear a lot of time her songs, but most popular songs are ,,Yalla’’ and ,,Diggie down’’. Another songs that you will probably hear are ,, Mi-e bine’’ from Lidia Buble feat. Matteo ,,Morena’’ from Antonia, ,,Aventura’’ and ,,Bilionera’’ from Otilia, ,,Amor’’ from Kamelia, ,,El perdon’’ from Nicky Jam and Enrique Iglesias, ,,Cheap trills’’ from Sia, ,,Mr. Saxobeat’’ from Alexandra Stan, ,,Policeman’’ from Eva Simons, ,,I took pills in Ibiza’’ from Mike Posner, ,,How deep is your love’’ from Calvin Harris and Disciples, ,,Faded’’ from Alan Walker. The most popular band in Romania is, for sure, Carla’s dreams. Romanian people really love their songs and they are very special band because, during the concert, they wear hoods, sunglasses and their faces are masked. The songs that you will hear are ,,Sub piela mea’’, ,,Imperfect’’, ,,Suna-ma’’ (duet with Antonia) and ,,P.O.H.U.I.’’ (duet with Inna) Not every time, but probably you will also hear some Arabic songs like ,,Boshret Kheir’’ from Hussain Al Jassmi and ,,LM3ALLEM’’ from Saad Lamjarred.
