GLASGOW PREFACE THE objects which the Gaelic Society of Glasgow had in- view in resolving to publish its transactions were, that a record of the Society's doings should be available to all the members and others who might be interested, and that such lite airy productions as were at its command should be put in some permanent form of easy access. For want of similar means of preservation, much valuable matter read before kindred societies is continually being lost. Even those who have the privilege of hearing are only a little better off than tbose who have not that privilege. To listen to an essay or lecture and the discussion which usually follows without it is, doubt, pleasing and profitable ; but has not the amount of educative influence which the same matter committed to type has. But it is when we take into con- sideration the fact that the former exercises a passing influence on only a few minds, while the latter may act on many minds over a long interval of time, that we see the full excess of value of the one over the other. No doubt many papers read before Highland societies find their way into the magazines and weekly newspapers, and, in that way, do a considerable amount of good much more, perhaps, tha.n would generally be credited and, among them, some of those included in this volume can be counted. But even these, after being read once, run the risk of never being seen again, and, what is of more consequence, are not likely to come under the eyes of future generations. In the case of literature given in book form, it is different : it is always arressible. -Vlll. PREFACE. In the present transitionary state of the Gaelic race, it is of the utmost importance that the future generations should not lose touch with their country's past. This is necessary for the preservation of those best characteristics that have so frequently won admiration from aliens, and that have sustained them, as a people, through trying social, political, and religious difficulties. In one of the essays recorded in the first volume, it is " said, We are living in the midst of a Celtic renaissance." All who have been following the course of events during tin- last fifteen years will homologate that statement. Much of this Celtic renaissance, so far as the Highlands are concerned, is due to the writings of Highlanders in the South, mostly connected with some society or other. This should be an incentive to all who have the Jlove of the Gaelic race and their land in their heart to further stimulate the movement by becoming members of Gaelic societies, and contributing to, or helping the circulation of, literature bearing upon Highland life and history and the Gaelic language. It is an honourable characteristic of the Highlander that is it is he fond of education ; and well known that the poor of the Highlands are more ready to make sacrifices in its .acquisition than the poor among their wealthier neighbours. But the fact remains that the Highlanders, as a people, are comparatively poor, and, on that account, less able than their neighbours to acquire education and, at the same time, patronize and support their own literature. It is, therefore, all the more incumbent on those who can afford it to make up for their brethren's drawbacks. The subjects treated of in the following pages cover a wide field embracing History, Manners and Customs, Philology, Folk Lore, Book Lore, and General Literature ; and while the ordinary reader cannot fail to be entertained and instructed, the studious may find useful information t .aid him in his studies. I'KKJ \( I . ix. Some valuable papers \vhieh were not available to tin- Society for publication in this volume have already appeared. or are to appear, elsewhere. It is gratifying to be able to record that, since the public- ation of the first volume, an increased interest has been taken in Gaelic Literature, and that a considerable number of valuable publications bearing upon the Gaelic Language, and the ancient and modern literature to be found in it, have been issued. A fact worthy of recognition here -on which the Society is keeping its eye is that by the will of the late Rev. A. K. MAI' CALM M of Glasgow, a sum has been placed at the dis- posal of the Senatus of Glasgow University, to be used in establishing a Gaelic Lectureship in connection with the University. It is hoped that when such a lectureship has been established, all Gaelic students receiving their education in Glasgow will take advantage of it, and through the benefits to be derived, be the better able to promote tho-i- object-, for which this Societv was constituted.

  • Nostalgia in the Media Representations of Female Folk Singers
    Rellstab, D. & N. Siponkoski (toim.) 2015. Rajojen dynamiikkaa, Gränsernas dynamik, Borders under Negotiation, Grenzen und ihre Dynamik. VAKKI-symposiumi XXXV 12.–13.2.2015. VAKKI Publications 4. Vaasa, (25–34). Nostalgia in the Media Representations of Female Folk Singers Noora Karjalainen English Studies University of Vaasa Tämä artikkeli tarkastelee naisfolklaulajien nostalgisia mediarepresentaatioita. Artikkelissa kiinnitetään erityistä huomiota siihen, kuinka laulajien esityskieli vaikuttaa heidän representaatioidensa muodostumi- seen. Artikkelin teoreettisena pohjana on käytetty Astrid Erllin kulttuurisen muistin tutkimusta ja mää- ritelmiä ja Svetlana Boymin nostalgia-analyysiä. Analysoimalla laulajien kuvauksia eri tekstilähteissä artikkelissa pyritään selvittämään mitä yhteyksiä folklaulajien representaatioilla on nostalgiaan ja kult- tuurisen muistin eri tasoihin. Keywords: cultural memory, folk music, folk singers, media representations, nostalgia 1 Introduction Nostalgia has a central part in the construction of a folk singer representation, as well as with the imagery connected to folk singers. The artist types for different genres of music are constructed through and preserved on the collective level of cultural memory; in folk music these types are particularly persistent, even though the artists may not ac- tively perform the stereotypical folk singer image. Thus, because of collective memory, if an artist is referred to as a folk singer it might bring to mind a long haired young woman, often alone on the stage playing the guitar and singing sad songs about lost love and heartbreak. This representation, constructed mostly during the 1960s folk revival by and for Joan Baez, Judy Collins and others, is still the prevalent public representation reserved for female folk singers. This article discusses nostalgic representations of female folk singers in different media sources such as digital publications of magazine articles, interviews, and concert and album reviews.

  • Narratives of Cosy Other in the Media Representations of Female Folk Singers
    Noora Karjalainen IMAGINED, REMEMBERED, GENDERED: Narratives of cosy other in the media representations of female folk singers This article examines the ways in which contemporary folk singers Julie Fowlis (Scotland), Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh (Ireland), Emily Portman and Kate Rusby (England) are constructed in the media as what I call the ‘cosy other’. Discussed here in relation to these Western European artists, I argue that my concept of cosy otherness derives from the internal other that is both European and foreign (Bohlman 2000: 189–193; Gelbart 2007: 64; McKerrell 2016: 126; O’Flynn 2014: 238). Unlike the conventional definition of a post-colonial other and the concept of an internal other, the cosy other is not ominous, competing, or negative. Rather, it appears charming and unthreateningly different with singular cultural traits such as a performance language other than English, a discernible regional dialect, or a pronounced regionalism. The cultural baggage accumulated over time – for example the troubled history of both Ireland and Scotland with England – is wrapped up in cosiness, niceness and nostalgia. Studying this intermediate stage of otherness reveals the power structures within the popular music scene governing the female artists’ access to the field as well as their representation in the media. The material of the study comprises of articles, reviews and interviews written and published about these four singers who are all active and successful folk music artists, representing the 21st century Anglo-Celtic folk and traditional © SES & Noora Karjalainen , Etnomusikologian vuosikirja 2018, vol. 30, ss. 66–91. 66 https://doi.org/10.23985/evk.69076 IMAGINED, REMEMBERED, GENDERED music scene.

The Collector of the Poems and many of those whom he has mentioned in the Introduction have passed to the other side. Important changes for the better have taken place in Highland agriculture and land tenure, and enlightened views on the value and use of Gaelic are now more prevalent. But much literature has been lost which can never be recalled or replaced, and the number of Gaelic speakers has greatly decreased. The present issue contains all the matter in the original volumes. Some misprints have been corrected, and a few unimportant alterations have been made. Deviations from ordinary Gaelic speDing and grammar reflect the language of the reciters.

(JYU Dissertations ISSN 2489-9003; 176) ISBN 978-951-39-8003-0 (PDF) The aim of this dissertation is to show how the media representation of female folk singers is constructed. To find out what kinds of narratives emerge from it, it is important to understand that this media representation is based on processes of remembering and premediation. Methods of close reading and analysis were applied in examining concert and album reviews, interviews and articles written about four contemporary female folk singers: Julie Fowlis, Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh, Emily Portman and Kate Rusby. The findings show how deeply embedded in cultural memory the presentation of a female folk singer is and how extensively it is used in constructing media representation of these singers.

Forte de nombreuses récompenses (‘Folk Act of the Year 2014’ aux Scots Trad Music Awards ; BBC Award 2017...) elle est la première artiste solo gaélique à gagner un Scottish Music Award en décembre 2014. Ses morceaux folks traditionnels, en anglais ou en gaélique, s’additionnent à ses explorations vers d’autres genres musicaux et l’amènent à travailler avec des musiciens tout autant talentueux comme la jeune violoniste Nicola Benedetti ou les chanteurs Aled Jones, James Taylor et Mary Chapin Carpenter. En 2012 elle est choisie par les studios d’animation Pixar et la firme altW Disney pour interpréter les chansons originales du film d’animation Rebelle ; un choix qui s’imposait de par la nationalité de Julie Fowlis. En France, Julie Fowlis a joué notamment à la Philarmonie de Paris, au Festival Interceltique de Lorient ; à l’Espace Prévert -scène des musiques du monde à Savigny-Le-Temple ; à la Cérémonie de Thiepval (2016) ; à La Nuit Bretonne au Château des Ducs (Nantes); au Festival Celti’cimes (Albiez Montrond)...
