INTRODUCTION European sightseers, articles in newspapers, guide-books, associations’ records, manuscripts and others composed the main source of information for dance in Greece, for approximately one and a half century (Simopoulos, 1976). These first attempts were characterized by amateurism and they went with the flow which was sealed by the intensive social – political – historical events and aimed to the cultivation of cultural consciousness (Zografou, 1999). Furthermore, the specific references had as their subject-matter the description of manners and customs and secondarily the dance. The approach of folk cultural events is characterized by an intensive ethnocentric tendency that appears not only in Greece but, generally, in the Balkan area (Damianakos, 1987). Aim of the bibliographic references about dance was the proof of * Assistant Professor, Department of Physical Education and Sports Science, Democritus University of Thrace, Komotini, Hellas ** Lecturer, Department of Physical Education and Sports Science, Democritus University of Thrace, Komotini, Hellas *** Associate Professor, Department of Physical Education and Sports Science, Democritus University of Thrace, Komotini, Hellas **** Professor, Democritus University of Thrace, University Campus, Komotini, Hellas ***** Teacher of Physical Education, Scientific Collaborator, Democritus University of Thrace, University Campus, Komotini, Hellas 1 The Cyprus Journal of Sciences Greek culture’s succession from the Ancient Greece until today. The relevant publications are focalized in the “incomparable value of dances, as ancient Greek survivances” (Zografou, 1999; Lountzaki, 1992). The result of the above viewpoint is that dance should be studied as a stable and invariable matter through the passing of time and that motor clichés that refer to the past should be looked for. The learning of dances is focused in the performance of motor clichés without taking notice of the local versions (Zografou, 1999). The 2 nd World War constitutes a significant landmark for Greek society. After this period of time the radical changes that begin to appear in the economic, political and social sector have as result respective cultural changes. Greek society comes in a process of cultural alterations having as a result the gradual recession of folk culture elements (Varvounis, 1994; Zografou, 1989; Meraklis, 1986). The urbanization of Greek society in connection with the cultural changes that were carried into effect, influenced dance, too (Zografou, 1991). A significant reason of dance supersession was the distinction of art and science that had as a result the avoidance of scientific approach of art. The above distinction in connection with the fact that, dance lasts as long as it is performed, conduced to its non-scientific study. The new conditions, that were set by virtue of the transition from the traditional society to the society of information, bring out the need of scientific study of Greek traditional dance, as well as the generation of staff scientific – investigatory potential. It is an accepted opinion that the scientific study of dance cannot depend on amateur practices. In the decade of ‘80s it is found out a change in the study of dance in Greece. The first indicative studies that imprint that change are of Lountzaki (1981-82) and Rafti (1985). The first scientific works that formed the tendencies which were developed further to are presented in the end of ‘80s but mainly in the decade of ‘90s. The works of Zografou (1989), Dima (1989) and Prantzidi (1995) deal with the continuation and change in tradition. The study of Tyrovola (1994) attempts a morphological approach of traditional dance and the study of Serbezi (1995) is referred to the teachability of dance and methods of instruction. It follows the researching work of Koutsouba (1997) which studies the dancing identity of Lefkada and Cowan (1998) (Zografou, 1999). The organizational structure and function of dancing system was investigated by Goulimari (1998). In the last decades, a remarkable bibliography has been published that approaches the multidimensional phenomenon of dance by various

BODIES IN THE MARGINS Refiguring the Rebetika as Literature Sophia Schlesinger Faculty Advisor: Andrea Kaston-Tange Macalester English Department Submitted April 25th, 2020 Abstract This thesis engages a literary analysis of a corpus of songs and recordings known as the rebetika (sing. rebetiko), which prospered in the port districts of major cities throughout the Aegean in the early 20th century. Engaging the rebetika as literary texts, I argue, helps us understand how they have functioned as a kind of pressure point on the borders between nation and Other. Without making unproveable biographical claims about the motives of the music progenitors, I examine why so many have reached for the rebetika as texts with which to articulate various political and cultural desires. Using a multidisciplinary theoretical framework that includes Elaine Scarry, Stuart Hall, Edward Said, Mark C.

  • Music in Conflict: Palestine, Israel, and the Politics of Aesthetic Production
    Music in Conflict: Palestine, Israel, and the Politics of Aesthetic Production Nili Belkind Submitted in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree Of Doctor of Philosophy In the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Nili Belkind All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Music in Conflict: Palestine, Israel and the Politics of Aesthetic Production Nili Belkind This is an ethnographic study of the fraught and complex cultural politics of music making in Palestine-Israel in the context of the post-Oslo era. I examine the politics of sound and the ways in which music making and attached discourses reflect and constitute identities, and also, contextualize political action. Ethical and aesthetic positions that shape contemporary artistic production in Israel-Palestine are informed by profound imbalances of power between the State (Israel), the stateless (Palestinians of the occupied Palestinian territories), the complex positioning of Israel’s Palestinian minority, and contingent exposure to ongoing political violence. Cultural production in this period is also profoundly informed by highly polarized sentiments and retreat from the expressive modes of relationality that accompanied the 1990s peace process, strategic shifts in the Palestinian struggle for liberation, which is increasingly taking place on the world stage through diplomatic and cultural work, and the conceptual life and currency Palestine has gained as an entity deserving of statehood around the world. The ethnography attends to how the conflict is lived and expressed, musically and discursively, in both Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories (oPt) of the West Bank, encompassing different sites, institutions and individuals. I examine the ways in which music making and attached discourses reflect and constitute identities, with the understanding that musical culture is a sphere in which power and hegemony are asserted, negotiated and resisted through shifting relations between and within different groups.

  • Marginality--A Key Concept to Understanding the Resurgence of Rebetiko in Turkey
    Marginality—A Key Concept to Understanding the Resurgence of Rebetiko in Turkey DANIEL KOGLIN In the following pages, I want to compare some of the ways people in Greece and Turkey today understand and use the label “rebetiko,” which denotes a type of Greek popular or “urban folk” song recorded mainly during the first half of the twentieth century. While in Greece the music that is now commonly called rebetiko has always delighted numerous fans, it has over the past two decades also gained in popularity on the opposite side of the Aegean Sea. Turkish listeners have, however, not only adopted the Greek notion of rebetiko—i.e., a specific internal representation of the attributes shared by a complex of songs—but they have also adapted it to their own cultural environment. The aim of my essay is to show that an investigation into this matter can contribute to a revision of current views on rebetiko, which thus far has been examined primarily in the light of theories deriving from Greek intellectual debates. From the study of record labels it can safely be inferred that by the beginning of the twentieth century the term “rebetiko” was already current among the Greek-speaking population of cities within the Ottoman Empire, although it is unclear in which sense it was used.1 Since then, however, Greek journalists, musicians, scholars, record producers, and other authorities have applied the term with some inconsistency to songs that differ considerably in terms of melodic properties, the content and style of their lyrics, or the manner of performance.

I argue that it was the ambiguous play between Greek music’s discursive value (its “image”) and the semiotic potential of its sound and music-adjacent practices, that allowed for its double-reception by Euro-Israeli elites and Working-class immigrants from Arab and Muslim countries (Mizrahim). This ambiguity positioned Greek music as a site for bypassing, negotiating, and subverting the dichotomy between Jew and Arab. As embodied in the 1960s by the biggest local star of Greek music––Aris San (1940- 1992) ––and by Greek international films such as Zorba the Greek, Greece and “Greekness” were often perceived as an unthreatening (i.e.

  • Greek Jew” from Auschwitz-Birkenau to Israeli Popular Culture K
    The Stereotyped “Greek Jew” From Auschwitz-Birkenau to Israeli Popular Culture K. E. Fleming Abstract Over the course of the twentieth century, Greek Jews underwent a gradual, if anomalous, process of nationalization. While other groups (Asia Minor refugees, for example) “became Greek” through assimilation within the physical territory of Greece, Jews “became Greek” in large part as a result of their exile from that territory. They were definitively portrayed as being first and foremost “Greek” largely within contexts that were characterized by mass heterogeneous Jewish populations. In Auschwitz-Birkenau and later in the context of post-war Pal- estine/Israel, Jews of Greek origin were a tiny minority within Jewish contexts dominated by other Jewish groups. While in the Orthodox Christian-dominant context of Greece Jews had, variously, struggled to establish their status as Greeks; rejected the categorization altogether; or developed complex hybrid identities, in the contexts of Auschwitz-Birkenau and, later, Israel/Palestine, they were understood by others, and, later, by themselves, as uncomplicatedly “Greek.” This “Greekness,” however, particularly in Israel/Palestine, largely took the form of a stereotype, one that elided the subtleties of Greek Jewish identity as it had begun to take shape in Greece before the Second World War. Τη φυλακή εγώ δεν ήξερα / και τώρα τη γνωρίζω Μες στο κελί γυρίζω / τους τοίχους αντικρίζω. Όλα στο νου μου έρχονται: / τα γέλια κι οι αγάπες Όλα γίνηκαν στάχτες στο τρένο της ζωής. Έτσι είναι η ζωή, κορίτσια,/ πάντα έτσι είναι η ζωή Νάμεστε κλεισμένες μες στο Αούσβιτς. Νιάτα που περνούν, χαρές που φεύγουν / πίσω δεν γυρνούν.
