Mediations of Contemporary Popular Music in Morocco and Spain Across a Divide: Mediations of Contemporary Popular Music in Morocco and Spain Brian Karl Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2012 © 2012 Brian Karl All rights reserved ABSTRACT Across a Divide: Mediations of Contemporary Popular Music in Morocco and Spain Brian Karl This dissertation is about the mediation of cross-cultural difference among Moroccan and Spanish musical practitioners. It is based on the idea that negotiations across the gaps of such difference have been promoted through the increased circulation of people, products and ideas in the modern era. Based on fieldwork during the years 2003-2007, primarily in the urban sites of Granada, Spain and Fez, Morocco, the project focuses on popular music, how both the production and reception of music are critically bound up with notions of genre, how resulting associations of musical practice are affected by different uses of technology, and how musical practices of all types partake of and help form different ideas of belonging. The understanding of genres of musical expression by listeners and performers alike serves a similar function in demonstrating affiliation with certain in-groups or belief in certain ideologies: e.g., of ethnic or national belonging; or of modern, cosmopolitan access. Tracking not only performance of certain genres but discourse about those genres provides clues to how crucial cultural and political differences are understood and mediated. Key sites for research included official venues for public concerts and cultural tourism, but also more everyday spaces of musical production and reception such as bars and cafes, homes, taxis, streets, parks, and small retail shops. In the course of my research I attended dozens of performances and rehearsals by professional and amateur musicians, trailed selected working musical groups over many months as they pursued their performance practices, and interviewed both music producers and music listeners in many different contexts. In the course of explicating the processes of musical production and reception in these locales, the project explores a broad set of related topics while framing the overall investigation theoretically. These topics include questions of migration in the modern era, of cosmopolitanism in various forms as a response to increased cross-cultural contacts due to various human movements, as well as consideration of crucial aspects of modernity– e.g. colonialism, nationalism, globalization, and cultural, economic and technological development–-all of which have been significant for cultural practices in Morocco, and among Moroccan emigrants to Spain and elsewhere in recent generations. To understand the consequences of exchange across cultural divides – from those occurring early and even within moments of first contact between different human groups, to colonial era encounters, and finally to complex cultural, economic, and political interactions in an era of increasingly globalized behaviors--social theorists from Homi Bhabha to Michael Taussig have stressed the significance of mimetic behavior in the negotiation by humans of their cultural differences. My research tracks the adoption, distortion and re-purposing of novel cultural forms, techniques, and ideas arriving from others’ distant practices as one ongoing social channel for cultural expression. It also tracks adherence to “traditional” means, along with the appropriation of innovative practices as ways of marking group inclusion and exclusion.

Though this written outcome of my thinking is for ultimately and fundamentally my own responsibility (including particularly all the missteps and shortfalls of my efforts), I have relied very much on the thoughtful, material, and convivial outpourings of countless others, some of whom I would like to acknowledge here. They are in no way to blame for whatever flaws occur in the following, but I must credit them for aiding any substance or success that does exist there. First, in terms of material support, I wish to acknowledge the funding for this project that has been provided through the American Institute of Maghrib Studies, the Ali Jihad Racy/Turath Award, and by the Institute of Social Economic Research and Policy, and the Middle East Institute, these latter two both located at Columbia University. Beyond such institutional support, I enjoyed the generosity of numerous individuals who extended themselves in so many different ways to aid my own efforts to learn and understand. In Madrid, Beatriz Martinez-Barrio very kindly hosted me on numerous occasions on my way

  • Tuareg Music and Capitalist Reckonings in Niger a Dissertation Submitted
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Rhythms of Value: Tuareg Music and Capitalist Reckonings in Niger A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnomusicology by Eric James Schmidt 2018 © Copyright by Eric James Schmidt 2018 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Rhythms of Value: Tuareg Music and Capitalist Reckonings in Niger by Eric James Schmidt Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnomusicology University of California, Los Angeles, 2018 Professor Timothy D. Taylor, Chair This dissertation examines how Tuareg people in Niger use music to reckon with their increasing but incomplete entanglement in global neoliberal capitalism. I argue that a variety of social actors—Tuareg musicians, fans, festival organizers, and government officials, as well as music producers from Europe and North America—have come to regard Tuareg music as a resource by which to realize economic, political, and other social ambitions. Such treatment of culture-as-resource is intimately linked to the global expansion of neoliberal capitalism, which has led individual and collective subjects around the world to take on a more entrepreneurial nature by exploiting representations of their identities for a variety of ends. While Tuareg collective identity has strongly been tied to an economy of pastoralism and caravan trade, the contemporary moment demands a reimagining of what it means to be, and to survive as, Tuareg. Since the 1970s, cycles of drought, entrenched poverty, and periodic conflicts have pushed more and more Tuaregs to pursue wage labor in cities across northwestern Africa or to work as trans- ii Saharan smugglers; meanwhile, tourism expanded from the 1980s into one of the region’s biggest industries by drawing on pastoralist skills while capitalizing on strategic essentialisms of Tuareg culture and identity.

  • Belly Dance: an Example of Cultural Authentication? Redacted for Privacy Abstract Approved
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Jennie L. Embree for the degree of Master of Science in Apparel, Interiors, Housing, and Merchandising presented on September 24, 1998. Title: Belly Dance: An Example of Cultural Authentication? Redacted for Privacy Abstract Approved: Elaine Pedersen Cultural authentication is a concept that was developed by Erekosima (1979), Erekosima and Eicher (1981), and Eicher and Erekosima (1980, 1995) to aid in the description of the transfer of artifacts from one culture to another. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the development of belly dance costume in the United States is an example of cultural authentication and, in so doing, further test and refine the concept of cultural authentication. Contemporary belly dance costume in the United States was described after conducting field research of the belly dance community over a period of ten months. The history of belly dance and its associated costume in America was explored through the review of previous historical research. Belly dance and its associated costume in the United States was then analyzed in terms of cultural authentication by addressing a series of seven questions. These seven questions were formulated to determine whether the four levels of cultural authentication (selection, characterization, incorporation, and transformation) occurred, and whether they occurred in that order. Contemporary belly dance costume in the United States was classified into two categories: replicated and creatively interpreted. The dancer who wears replicated costumes believes that he/she is imitating, to the best of his/her ability, a documented style of dress worn by a specific ethnic group, at a specific time, within the areas of the Near and Middle East.

  • Constitucionalismo Y Participación Política En Los Estados Del Norte De África: Una Visión Histórica
    Revista de Estudios Internacionales Mediterráneos - REIM - Nº 6 (septiembre-diciembre de 2008) pp. 5-51- ISSN: 1887- 4460 CONSTITUCIONALISMO Y PARTICIPACIÓN POLÍTICA EN LOS ESTADOS DEL NORTE DE ÁFRICA: UNA VISIÓN HISTÓRICA Bernabé López García∗ Resumen La historia constitucional de los países del Norte de África puede dividirse cronológicamente en dos grandes momentos históricos y geográficamente en dos espacios bien diferenciados desde el punto de vista geopolítico. Los momentos citados corresponderían, el primero, a lo que se podría considerar como la prehistoria constitucional, conformada por los ensayos constitucionales llevados a cabo durante el siglo XIX en Túnez y Egipto y que corren en paralelo a las Tanzimat otomanas –de las que en buena parte son consecuencia- y, el segundo, a las constituciones de los estados independientes que se inician con la constitución egipcia de 1923 y que tardarán más de un cuarto de siglo en concretarse en los países del Magreb. Los espacios geográficos serían, de un lado Egipto, con una vida independiente muy en avance con respecto al resto del mundo árabe, y de otro, los países del Magreb, controlados en su mayor parte por una misma potencia colonial, Francia, que dejará su impronta en la vida política de la región. Abstract The constitutional history of North African countries can be divided chronologically into two great historical moments and geographically into two clearly differentiated spaces from a geopolitical point of view. The historical moments correspond, first, to what could be considered as constitutional prehistory, formed by the attempts at constitutionalism that took place during the 19th century in Tunisia and Egypt parallel to the Ottoman Tanzimat – of which they were largely a consequence – and secondly, to the constitutions in the independent states, that began with the Egyptian Constitution in 1923 but would take more than a quarter century to become established in the countries of the Maghreb.

  • Mirror, Mediator, and Prophet: the Music Indaba of Late-Apartheid South Africa
    VOL. 42, NO. 1 ETHNOMUSICOLOGY WINTER 1998 Mirror, Mediator, and Prophet: The Music Indaba of Late-Apartheid South Africa INGRID BIANCA BYERLY DUKE UNIVERSITY his article explores a movement of creative initiative, from 1960 to T 1990, that greatly influenced the course of history in South Africa.1 It is a movement which holds a deep affiliation for me, not merely through an extended submersion and profound interest in it, but also because of the co-incidence of its timing with my life in South Africa. On the fateful day of the bloody Sharpeville march on 21 March 1960, I was celebrating my first birthday in a peaceful coastal town in the Cape Province. Three decades later, on the weekend of Nelson Mandela’s release from prison in February 1990, I was preparing to leave for the United States to further my studies in the social theories that lay at the base of the remarkable musical movement that had long engaged me. This musical phenomenon therefore spans exactly the three decades of my early life in South Africa. I feel privi- leged to have experienced its development—not only through growing up in the center of this musical moment, but particularly through a deepen- ing interest, and consequently, an active participation in its peak during the mid-1980s. I call this movement the Music Indaba, for it involved all sec- tors of the complex South African society, and provided a leading site within which the dilemmas of the late-apartheid era could be explored and re- solved, particularly issues concerning identity, communication and social change.

The majority of these studies have focused on the interaction between a local language and a non-local language. In this project, I propose an analysis of the mixture of two world languages (Spanish and English), which can be categorised as both local and non-local. I do this through the analysis of the enormously successful reggaeton genre, which is characterised by its use of Spanglish. I used two data types to inform my research: a corpus of code-switching instances in top 20 reggaeton songs, and a questionnaire on attitudes towards Spanglish in general and in music. I collected 200 answers to the questionnaire – half from American English-speakers, and the other half from Spanish-speaking Hispanics of various nationalities.

Côté orientations, on note une faible adéquation entre politique économique et budget de l’Etat (2010), avec une incidence paradoxalement mitigée sur les classes moyennes (lire p 15). Côté réajustement des politiques, il s’avère que les indicateurs de classement sociaux O (ex. : IDH) et économiques (ex. : Doing Business) devant HYMNE À LA servir de détecteurs de zones de turbulences, donnent PLURALITÉ lieu, plus à une volonté de domestiquer les critères ET A LA STIMULATION internationaux d’évaluation, qu’à une redéfinition studieuse des politiques domestiques de développement (lire p.30).
