As far as I know, no further action has been taken on this subject. May I propose that my office be responsible for UN Voices for Peace/ Peace Messenger operations? We have many ideas on this matter and it fits comfortably within our mandate and connects to our expanding contacts with the performing arts and sports world. May we discuss? 01/28/98 WED 11:49 FAX 212 963 4361 OASG DPI 0001 t v United Nations Nations Unies INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM MKMIJKAMJUM INrKlilHllll The Secretary-General 17 eetotaer 1997 Mr. Iqbal Risa Chef de Cabinet, BOSG KIM:FIH: NCI: • THROUGH. S'C DH. Samir Sanbar Assistant Sec for Public "UN Voices £ or. _.Peace.^', SUBJECI- 1. I propose a special outreach effort through a select number of popular artists under the title" "UN Voices for Peace'" . This may not be exclusive to singers. Others, with popular appeal, especially to youth, could be added, either under the above group or an additional one. They may include sports figures with an established record of support for educational or humanitarian causes. 2. It is commonly agreed that media attention and public interest is focused more on popular arts or sports figures than on most politicians or intellectuals. Involving some of them in UN events or in speaking on specific issues of special interest to them could consolidate support for the UN amongst new audiences never before approached. A crucial element in the selection of candidates will be genuine interest on their part and prudent, focused use of their interest by the UN. Fund- raising events for specific UN activities could be an added bonus. 3- A list of possible candidates is enclosed. It is only an indication, not an exclusive or definitive list. We could start with Maestro Pavarotti, who is already on board, and follow up on the rest. We also have to have a definite, focused plan for each candidate, taking into account their crowded calendar and the UN agenda. 4. Although the title is "UN Voices for Peace", the sub- designation could be flexibly discussed. "UN Messenger for Peace" had been overused in the early eighties, if not abused in certain instances. It was under one of the Political Affairs departments, selected mainly by a mid-level o££icer. When it did not carry bi- polar political connotations, it provided some messengers in certain countries the claim to UN representation. 01/28/98 WED 11: 49. FAX 212 963 4361 OASG DPI - 2 - 5. The "UN Envoy" or "Ambassador" which is already used by some UN programmes and agencies could be considered, but may have its confusing drawbacks. Simply "UK Voice for Peace", ceremoniously designated by the Secretary-General could be a. fresh, clear and preferred title. As the list grows -- and extends to sports figures -- for example, Adebo Pele (Ghana) ,• Akim Alujwan (Nigeria), Patrick -Ewing -(USA), etc. wider designations could be explored. In fact, some of the sports figures could address specific issues like education or the fight against drugs, and designated accordingly in consultation with the UN programme manager directly concerned. For example, "UN Voice against Drugs" or "for Human Rights" or "against Poverty" could eventually be evolved for specific cases. 6. If, and when you approve, DPI could help design a special medallion or button for that purpose. 01/28/98 WED 11:49 FAX 212 963 4361 OASG DPI 121003 f \ VOICES FOR PEACE INITIAL NAMES King Sunny Ade Nigeria Freddy Aquilar Philippines Charles Aznavour Prance Ingrid Bergman Sweden Alfa Blondi Cote D'lvoire Bill Cosby USA Placido Domingo Spain Cesaris Evora Cape Verde Fairouz Lebanon Barry Gibb/Bee Gees Australia Whitney Houston USA Jeremy Irons United Kingdom Los Javias Chile L.L.

  • French Pop Music Remakes in Turkey
    French pop music remakes in Turkey A cognitive semiotic inquiry into cultural transfer Azize Güneş Supervisor: Göran Sonesson Centre for Languages and Literature, Lund University MA in Languages and Literature, Cognitive Semiotics SPVR01 Languages and Linguistics: Degree Project – Master’s (Two years) Thesis, 30 credits May 2017 Abstract In this thesis, the importation, transformation and distribution of French popular music in Turkey during the 20th century have been investigated as a case study of cultural transfer. By using theories and methods within a cognitive semiotic framework, this study provides an overview of the phenomenon of French pop music remakes in Turkey by accounting for the initial situation of communication of remade pop music through recorded materials, and by providing an analysis of the changes made to the songs when transformed from French to Turkish, as well as the linguistic meanings that were made available to the Turkish public in this process. Meaning making procedures in connection to pop music have been considered by analyzing components of pop music, the cognitive capacities of human beings to understand pop music, and procedures of cultural communication enabling the integration of new artefacts in a culture. According to the results of this thesis, 160 Turkish language remakes of songs originally performed in French have been produced and distributed in Turkey between 1961- 1991. The most concentrated period of production occurred during a 10-year period between 1967-1977, with a considerable peak in 1968-1969. Of the songs produced during the peak of 1968-1969, 25% account for the original French song lyrics either as “song translations” or “adaptations” of their original French versions, transferring linguistic meanings to the Turkish target culture.

May 1968 has generated an enormous amount of literature and analyses of its events, yet there has been little previous work on popular music prior to May 1968 and the events of these protests and strikes that involved up to seven million people at its height.

  • Enrico Macias
    Enrico Macias Les "laï laï laï" entonnés régulièrement depuis plusieurs décennies par Enrico Macias nous rappelle que cet artiste pied-noir a fait une carrière internationale à la mesure des plus grands. S'il dit ne pas faire de politique, il cherche depuis ses débuts, à faire passer ses idées de paix et de solidarité en parcourant la planète entière. Enrico Macias qui s'appelle en réalité Gaston Ghrenassia, naît le 11 décembre 1938 à Constantine en Algérie dans une famille juive. Il suit sa scolarité normalement tout en s'adonnant au plaisir de la musique, celui de la guitare en particulier. Son père est violoniste dans l'orchestre de Cheick Raymond Leyris, grand maître du maalouf, musique arabo-andalouse spécifique du Constantinois. Dès l'âge de 15 ans, le jeune Gaston se retrouve dans cet orchestre prestigieux et devient rapidement l'éventuel successeur de Cheick Raymond. En 56, il obtient son baccalauréat et postule pour avoir une place de surveillant dans une école. La musique ne semble pas lui proposer un métier d'avenir. Comme il y a un manque d'effectif notoire dans l'enseignement, il est embauché comme instituteur. Il continue néanmoins à pratiquer la guitare. Mais l'Algérie "française" vit ses derniers instants, celle où les catholiques, les Juifs et les musulmans vivent sur le même territoire. Un mouvement nationaliste mené par le Front National de Libération (FLN) se bat pour obtenir l'indépendance de ce pays colonisé par la France au XIXème siècle. La guerre passe aussi par la guérilla, les meurtres, les assassinats. En 1961, Cheick Raymond est tué le 22 juin à Constantine.

  • 21St NY Sephardic Jewish Film Festival PR
    The 21st anniversary edition of the NY Sephardic Jewish Film Festival features compelling stories and evocative documentaries about Iraqi, Syrian, Mexican, Egyptian, Israeli, French, Tunisian, Ethiopian, and Greek communities The American Sephardi Federation’s NY Sephardic Jewish Film Festival showcases contemporary voices steeped in the history, traditions, and rich mosaic culture of Greater Sephardic communities. The ten-day Festival features premiere film screenings, intriguing stories, evocative documentaries, Q&As with filmmakers, as well as special honorees and guests. The Pomegranate Awards Ceremony on Opening Night celebrates Sephardi excellence in the arts. Past recipients include Senior Counselor to the King of Morocco André Azoulay, French-Algerian recording legend Enrico Macias, Kuwaiti star and human rights activist Ema Shah, and Morocco-Israeli poet Erez Bitton. Each night of the Festival is a different themed program honoring the rich and diverse communities ASF represents. “For the NYSJFF 21st Edition, we are proud to present poignant and powerful programs, including a number of New York premieres,” said Sara Nodjoumi, Artistic Director of the New York Sephardic Jewish Film Festival. “From Stars, Konrad Wolf’s classic, cinematic gem on the Greek Holocaust experience, to Cecile Peck’s Brave Miss World about a Moroccan-Israeli beauty contestant’s struggle against sexual violence, these are universal stories that speak to the issues of our time (discrimination, persecution, immigration, resistance) and all time,” Nodjoumi said. NYSJFF Artistic Director Sara Nodjoumi produced The Iran Job, and is a programming alumna of the Tribeca Film Festival, where her latest film, When God Sleeps, premiered earlier this year. David Serero, the producer of the NYSJFF's star-studded 20th edition, returns to produce this year's Festival.
