It has been impressed upon our mind that a history should be written, not of the more notable events, -- the outstanding achievements of the few which already have been written many times, --but of the more intimate little happenings of the individual or family of less prominence, who also suffered the same peril and hardships when they adventured into the far West. Many shining lights, names closely identified with the upbuilding of this great Commonwealth, have received honor and praise, from a grateful succession. This was their just due, but also there are many lesser lights along the trail who have given of their best, but who have been unhonored and unsung in the hurrying March of Progress.

Robichaud, Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences, CSU w Professor Emile Wennekes, Utrecht University, Chair of the Music and Media Study Group of the International Musicological Society 9:15–10:45 AM Panel 1: Redefining the Use of Pre-Existing Music through Bricolage (CSU) Chair: Emile Wennekes w Giorgio Biancorosso: “The Filmmaker as Music Bricoleur” Abstract: Whether as citation, hommage or allusion, the existing literature on film soundtracks examines the use of pre-existing music as a function of intertextuality. Spurred by the renewed interest surrounding the work of Claude Lévi-Strauss, I propose that we rethink of at least certain soundtracks as a form of 'musical bricolage' instead. By combining already-existing music to striking imagery and novel dramatic situations, the filmmaker overwrites familiar associations and encourages new listening habits (above and beyond the circumstances of film listenership per se). To bear this out, I examine the musical nexus at the heart of the cinema of the Hong Kong filmmaker Wong Kar Wai. In crafting and subsequently marketing the soundtracks to his films, Wong channels a lifetime of chancing upon, listening to and collecting music in the commercial and artistic entrepôt of Hong Kong. Key to his musical borrowings are unobstructed access to global media, the circumstances of his films' production and reception, and penchant for 'poaching' music from other films (ranging from old Chinese melodramas to European art films).

Harvey: Native Americans and The Western: A History of Oppression 1 Native Americans and the Western: A History of Oppression by Haidyn Harvey The Western––it’s as American as apple pie. It’s a genre of nostalgia, adventure and the romanticized past. Always situated on the wide expanses and dusty horizons west of the Mississippi river, Westerns center around the do-it-yourself kind of justice carried out by bounty hunters, cowboys and even the lonely outlaw. The genre tells stories of the bravery and grit required to survive in the wild and uncivilized world just out of reach of the lawmakers back east. Most importantly, the Western is a genre of fear: fear of death, fear of the land and fear of fellow man. These overarching themes of paranoia coupled with expansive backdrops and historical settings make the Western the perfect canvas to explore race relations in America, both in the past and present.

Some 2,000 research fellows, grad­ uate students, and professionals in business and government each year work with the Center's international staff in cooperative study, training, and research. They examine major issues related to population, resources and development, the environment, culture, and communication in Asia, the Pacific, and the United States. The Center was established in 1960 by the United States Congress, which provides principal funding. Support also comes from more than twenty Asian and Pacific governments, as well as private agencies and corporations. Editor's Note T HE CELEBRATED dramatist Eugene O'Neill once said that all drama takes place within the family. This is absolutely right; we can even expand this claim to include all forms of narrative. Fairy tales, ballads, the Bible, epics, the works of Sophocles and Shakespeare, soap operas, and the nov­ els of Tolstoy and Dickens in one way or another deal with the problems, tensions, and privations associated with the family.

It's the Western, and its origins will be explored in a summer-long series of rarely screened silent films at the Town Hall Theatre in Wilton, N.H. The series, which includes seven programs and a dozen movies, runs from early June through late August. The screenings are free to the public; a donation of $10 per person is suggested to support the Town Hall Theatre's silent film series. All programs will feature live music by silent film accompanist Jeff Rapsis. "Many of these films are over 100 years old, and so they're not far removed from the 'Old West' depicted in them," Rapsis said. The series ranges from big budget Hollywood epics such as 'The Covered Wagon'—the top grossing film of 1923—to obscure fare such as 'Salomy Jane' (1914), an early feature and the sole surviving film of the California Motion Picture Corp. Along the way, audiences will sample the stern morality of William S.
