A LOOK at the INDO-EUROPEAN ARCH RHYTHMICS (A Comparative Analysis of the Musical Rhythmics of Hindus, Arabs, Greeks, and Baits)
ISSN 1648-2662 ACTA ORIENTALIA VILNENSIA. 2003 4 A LOOK AT THE INDO-EUROPEAN ARCH RHYTHMICS (a comparative analysis of the musical rhythmics of Hindus, Arabs, Greeks, and Baits) Eirimas Velicka Lithuanian Music Academy This article analyzes and compares the rhythmics of Indian, Arabian, ancient Greek, ethnic Lithuanian, Latvian, and Estonian music. The stress is laid on the similarity common to classical Indian, ancient Greek, and ethnic Lithuanian music. The author poses the question: can the durational rhythmics, which is common among the mentioned cultures, be called "Indo-European Arch rhythmics'; or is it a pheno menon of a wider scale, typical in the music of other cultures, too. The research is based on typological and comparative methods. The phenomenon of musical rhythmics is analyzed following the quantitative (duration, quantity) view. The foundation of quantitative (durational) rhythmics is sought for in languages as well- in the fluctuation of long and short syllables. The understanding of musical rhythm is based on durational and dynamic relations of music sounds. These two points, psychologically important aspects for understanding, become the main criterion for classifying rhythmic phenomenon met in the music of different time periods and different cultures. The phenomenon of rhythmics is divided into quantitative (durational) and qualitative (stressed), which is done based on the domination of a certain aspect. 1 The quantitative (durational) rhythmics is genetically related to language and originates most of the time from the fluctuation of long and short syllables, whereas the qualitative (stressed) rhythm obviously relates to the function of movement. The principal difference and relation of durational and stressed rhythmics with word and movement was already noticed by the members of the ancient world. -

Ankh-Morpork: the City As Protagonist
Ankh-Morpork: The City as Protagonist Anikó Sóhar Université Catholique Pázmány Péter Abstract: In science fiction and fantasy, sometimes the city (whether it is real or imaginary) plays the leading role, for example New York in Winter’s Tale by Mark Helprin, or London in Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman. Often, as in the case of Newford in several novels and short stories by Charles de Lint, a made-up city with its fictional topography and maps corresponds to and accentuates the social relations as well as the emotions embedded in the narration; the geography can indeed be emotional as it was so aptly put by Sir Terry Pratchett when he appointed Rincewind (one of his regularly popping-up characters) “Egregious Professor of Cruel and Unusual Geography of Unseen University” (among other jobs). Sir Terry also dreamt up a very significant city called Ankh-Morpork in his Discworld series (which might have been based on Budapest) which offers a perfect topic for discussion. Ankh-Morpork, which was a simple although very funny parody of a typical city in fantasy fiction at the beginning, gradually becomes a setting for emancipation, liberation and disenthralment from various bonds, and provides ample examples of references to British and internationalised culture. The city itself does not play a leading role in any of the novels, but when the whole series is taken into consideration, its significance is immediately apparent, the whole series forms a sort of bildungsroman which describes the maturation process of Ankh-Morpork. The whole sensational landscape created for our amusement as well as intellectual and moral benefit could be accurately mapped in terms of literary-cum-urban-studies, geopoetics, focusing on several aspects of social criticism. -

Calendar Festivals As a Form of Transnationalism and Cultural Strategy in the Mixed Finnish-Lithuanian and Greek-Lithuanian Families
https://doi.org/10.7592/YBBS2.02 CALENDAR FESTIVALS AS A FORM OF TRANSNATIONALISM AND CULTURAL STRATEGY IN THE MIXED FINNISH-LITHUANIAN AND GREEK-LITHUANIAN FAMILIES Akvilė Motuzaitė The University of Turku, Finland e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: The object of the paper is to research the celebration of calendar festivals within Finnish-Lithuanian and Greek-Lithuanian families in Fin- land and Greece respectively. The subject was approached mainly from the Lithuanian women’s perspective, since most of the mixed marriages involved Lithuanian females and rarely Lithuanian men in the countries chosen. Six main Lithuanian calendar festivals of different origins were in focus of the study. Three festivals belong to the Christian calendar: Christmas Eve (Kūčios), Christmas (Šv. Kalėdos) and Easter Day (Šv. Velykos); and the other three are national festivals significant for the State of Lithuania historically: 16th February (Day of Reinstating of the State of Lithuania), 11th March (Day of the Re-Establishment of the State of Lithuania) and 6th July (Statehood Day). The aim of the research is to reveal how the calendar festivals referred to above are celebrated in the particular context of emigration: within mixed marriages. Available transnational connections suggest different forms of celebrating, which are shaped following certain strategies. Keywords: calendar festivals, cultural strategy, identity, mixed marriage, transnationalism Akvilė Motuzaitė Lithuanian ethnologists attribute the Christian celebrations to the traditional festivals and national festivals are characterised as being modern. (Concerning classification of festivals, see Paukštytė-Šaknienė 2016: 13.) All these days have certain meaning from the individual point of view, which is externalised with the help of various traditions, symbols, rites, individual or communal actions and performances.
