Over time, mu- sical expression has accompanied the migration of humanity across the planet, being present in all societies. Resulting from -individual or collective- creative processes, music reveals elements that characterise specific cultural identities of its creators, at the same time estab- lishing itself as a new identity element of the community that appropriates it. In this dynamic process of cultural enrichment, musical language is one of the most contagious ones and, therefore, constitutes a precious contribution to the consolida- tion of interculturality in contemporary societies. In this respect, the Gala «Together in Diversity», held by ACIDI in December 2008, was an example of participation of different musical expressions of various immigrant communities in Portugal in the construction of a new cultural reality that the country currently offers. The present issue of the Migrações Journal, dedicated to the topic of Music and Mi- gration, presents us with a set of articles that clarify the importance of music in the context of migratory communities, both as an identifier and as an element of com- munication and dialogue. We therefore express our gratitude to the authors that collaborated in it and espe- cially to Maria de São José Côrte-Real, that has ensured its scientific coordination. nota de abertura 6 Music and Migration Migrações _ #7 _ October 2010 7 Roberto Carneiro Immigration Observatory Coordinator The Migrações Journal is proud to present a “succulent” number 7, dedicated to the topic of Music and Migration. This issue, wisely coordinated by Maria de São José Côrte-Real, displays an amazing musical rhapsody. In fact, there is no lack of pleasant surprises and stunning diversity in this edition of the Journal. Featuring a remarkable number of researchers from ethno-anthropo- -musicology, the volume firstly offers us a true mosaic of research articles: from the Indo-Pakistani diaspora to Luso-identities in the USA, from colonial and postcolonial identities in Goan diaspora to Cape Verdean batuque, from Afghan music in Australia and Kurdish music in Berlin to music scenes in Vienna, Barcelona and Lisbon, from music as an indicator of social integration in Melbourne to Afro-American music in neighborhoods of the Bronx to music of political intervention in the American presi- dential elections of 2008. Secondly, respecting the common guideline of the Journal, the present thematic is- sue offers nine articles regarding good practices in which valuable associative, foun- dational and communal initiatives stand out. Finally, again following the Journal’s normal and established structure, the coordina- tor presents us with a set of nine opinion articles with a strong lusophone accent and celebrating its multiple expressivities in Portugal and in the African Continent. Music is undoubtedly a remarkable language of universal communication. In other words, it is an aesthetic communicator of particular cultures emphasizing genuinely universal elements. Without musical expressiveness, population movements and identity encounters would find themselves impoverished in revealing their authenticities and in the crea- tion of musical “hybrids” that constitute one of the most portentous emergences in the meeting of peoples and cultures. Should there be any doubt, there is fado, tango, samba or jazz to fully prove it. The issue Music and Migration thus is a remarkable tribute to the creative human genius that, tireless and irrepressible, fulfills the mandate of co-creator that it has been carrying since the extraordinary rise of the Homo Sapiens Sapiens in the up- ward chain of the mysterious work of creation. Migration and migrants are vehicles of spiritual nobility that are inherent to the hu- man condition and subject to the inviolability expressed in the sacred dignity of each and every human being, be they moving or sedentary. nota do director director do nota 8 Music and Migration Migrações _ #7 _ October 2010 9 This issue of the Migrações Journal translates that with a unique communicational Maria de São José Côrte-Real* strength.

All Rights Reserved. 2 This dissertation titled Unfolding Time to Configure a Collective Entity: Alternative Digital Movies as Malaysian National Cinema by HSIN-NING CHANG has been approved for Interdisciplinary Arts and the College of Fine Arts by Erin Schlumpf Visiting Assistant Professor of Film Studies Elizabeth Sayrs Interim Dean, College of Fine Arts 3 ABSTRACT CHANG, HSIN-NING, Ph.D., April 2017, Interdisciplinary Arts Unfolding Time to Configure a Collective Entity: Alternative Digital Movies as Malaysian National Cinema Director of dissertation: Erin Schlumpf This dissertation argues that the alternative digital movies that emerged in the early 21st century Malaysia have become a part of the Malaysian national cinema. This group of movies includes independent feature-length films, documentaries, short and experimental films and videos. They closely engage with the unique conditions of Malaysia’s economic development, ethnic relationships, and cultural practices, which together comprise significant understandings of the nationhood of Malaysia. The analyses and discussions of the content and practices of these films allow us not only to recognize the economic, social, and historical circumstances of Malaysia, but we also find how these movies reread and rework the existed imagination of the nation, and then actively contribute in configuring the collective entity of Malaysia. 4 DEDICATION To parents, family, friends, and cats in my life 5 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my advisor, Prof.

    Divided Hybrids: An Analysis of Miguel Gomes’ Oeuvre Francisco Vergueiro Martins Fontes 11689986 Date: 26/06/2018 Supervisor: Dr. Abraham Geil Second Reader: Dr. Marie-Aude Baronian Media Studies: Film Studies University of Amsterdam Table of Contents Introduction 03 Chapter 1: Foundations - Shorts & The Face You Deserve 06 Chapter 2: Recognitions - Our Beloved Month of August 15 Chapter 3: Recollections - Tabu 24 Chapter 4: Dreams - Arabian Nights 33 Conclusion 45 Bibliography 47 Filmography 48 List of Illustrations 49 !2 Introduction Documentaries and fiction films have been intertwining since 1895, when we first saw moving images of workers leaving the Lumière factory. This hybridization of registers has been explored since the very start but, like most aspects of our day-to-day, it is an idea that is constantly evolving and reinventing itself. This reinvention of ideas can be compared to André Bazin’s belief that cinema was yet to be invented (Myth 17) - a statement that can still be considered true when analyzing the development and eventual reinvention of specific filmmaking methods. The essential difference is that, while Bazin believed cinema was trying to catch up to the myth of its total enactment - in order to eventually reach an end result - in this case cinema continues to be “invented” due to its openness for experimentation - one without an end. The Portuguese critic-turned-director Miguel Gomes is behind a body of work that is distinctive in how it shifts between documentary and narrative filmmaking techniques, helping with this slow “invention” of the seventh art through formal experimentation. Strongly, but not exclusively, due to his mixture of techniques, his oeuvre is also firmly linked to realism, keeping such theories relevant, and as contemporary as his own work.

    Some of CARMEN SOUZA AND THEO PASCAL PRESS Quotes over the years See the clipping at www.carmensouzapresskit.blogspot.com CD/DVD_LIVE LAGNY JAZZ FESTIVAL (2014) 5 STARS (CD of the week)"Carmen Souza is one of a kind—an original as rare as a throat singer and as exquisite as a vocalist who combines the best of Billie Holiday and Elis Regina—whose time has certainly come. Carmen Souza’s star is certainly on the rise. Her performances are riveting; she has a sensuous manner and her delicate swaying to the music seems to suggest that her body absorbs the melodies and harmonies of her songs that are surely made deep down in her soul." Raul da Gama, Latin Jazz Network, USA 5 STARS "Une artiste impressionnante. Chanteuse charismatique, Carmen Souza scatte à la manière d’Ella Fitzgerald et passe de l’aigu au grave avec une virtuosité certaine. Tantôt suave, tantôt mélancolique dans Live at Lagny Jazz festival, elle s’approprie avec simplicité et malice le fameux « sodade » si cher à la Diva au pieds nus (ndlr Cesaria Evora). Elle joue de la guitare, du piano et utilise sa voix tel un instrument. Dans cet album, ses reprises de My favorite things - John Coltrane - et Donna Lee – standard du jazz composé par Miles Davis – prouvent, s’il en était besoin, tout le talent de cette artiste. Elle réussit la prouesse de s’approprier des classiques du jazz sans les dénaturer." Eva Dréano, AFRICAVIVRE, FR 5STARS "La chanteuse a ainsi trouvé sa voi(e)x dans un métissage réussi des rythmes africains et capverdiens et du jazz contemporain...Piochant dans son répertoire quelques succès, Carmen y présente aussi trois inédits, dont un reprise sublime d’Edith Piaf « Sous le Ciel de Paris ».

  • Cape Verde and Brazil Musical Connections
    Cape Verde and Brazil Musical Connections Juliana Braz Dias Universidade de Brasília / University of Pretoria Introduction The insertion of Brazilian music in contexts outside of the country is no lon- ger a novelty. Indeed, the media often reports on these musical flows. For instance, newspapers and specialized magazines have played a crucial role in highlighting the presence of Brazil on the international stage through reports on Grammy Awards won by Brazilian musicians (namely, Sérgio Mendes, Milton Nascimento, Gilberto Gil, Caetano Veloso e João Gilberto). Another example is the increased visibility of concerts featuring Brazilian artists in other countries, such as the Brazilian Day in New York, which attracts more than a million people to the streets of that city – above all Brazilians, but also North-Americans and migrants from other countries. However, it should be noted that the presence of Brazilian music outside of the country’s borders is not necessarily related to the global cultural indus- try, neither to the impact of recent migration processes. Musical exchanges involving Brazilian musicians have been going on for some time, in multiple ways, following diverse routes and movements of people. In this article, I focus on a particular trajectory that some forms of Brazilian music have taken. I refer to the Atlantic flows that allowed for the arrival of music and musicians from Brazil to Cape Verde, deeply influencing musical productions in the archipelago. Adopting an anthropological ap- proach, I seek to engage with discourses articulated by Cape Verdeans on the role of “Brazilian music” (as they understand it) and its relationship to the music produced in Cape Verde.

Exposed and concealed Roma conflict: Representation of contemporary Roma conflicts in Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland and Hungary Abstract: Roma conflict is one of the dominant issues that societies and cinemas of Eastern Europe should face. Recently, a variety of deeply touching films have been created such as Just the Wind (dir. Benedek Fliegauf) and Judgement in Hungary (dir. Eszter Hajdú). While the films show disgruntlement or even large-scale protests and riots, the films’ plots rarely present the causes of such events. Documentary film projects with sociological ambitions, however, stand out above these films, they are knowledgeable and insightful but their range is only local. There are some exceptional cases that overthrow this rule, such as Moving a Settlement or The Roma King (dir. Viliam Poltikovič). On the other hand, the superproductions such as Koza (dir. Ivan Ostrochovský) or The Queen of Silence (dir. Agnieszka Zwiefka) mainly concentrate on the formal side at the expense of the simplification of the film’s content. My purpose is to present various variants of the representation of Roma conflict in these films. Keywords: Roma, Central Europe, film, politics “Roma Issue” has progressed to become one of the most serious areas related to Central Europe since the beginning of 1990s. The time of political transformation has created a new context for the issue present in the collective consciousness for many decades.

  • Contemporary Slovak Film: a Symptom of the Times Or a Representation of Society?
    CONTEMPORARY SLOVAK FILM: A SYMPTOM OF THE TIMES OR A REPRESENTATION OF SOCIETY? JANA DUDKOVÁ Institute of Theatre and Film Research, Slovak Academy of Sciences Abstract: The phenomenon of Slovak cinema after 1989 is often linked with metaphors of ab- sence and sterility. There are many reasons why this can be stated, and they are to a great ex- tent closely connected with the reckless transformation and denationalisation of cinema which almost ruined it in the 1990s. On the one hand, cinema is no longer controlled or supported by the state; on the other hand, it is still financially dependent on it. (Until 2009, the ministers of culture are still responsible for the division of film funds, and frequent changes in the volume of available funds or the state’s preferred subject matter have resulted in a number of projects that received short-term funding but have never been finished.) The focus is no longer on the middle class; therefore, there has been a decrease in cinema attendance and box office success. However, films are still reflecting some social changes and specifics as well as the position of Slovakia in a certain “global” world order. This article is going to outline some often overlooked approaches to post-1989 Slovak cinema as a reflectionof social change. The focus will be on the sense of belatedness in generational gestures which embody the beliefs of the transition period as well as the spatial metaphors of one’s relationship to society. Last but not least, attention will be paid to the unconscious self-reflection of cinema and its role in the shift of society towards the market economy.
