*Call for Papers*

*The Ottoman Past in the Balkan Present: Music and Mediation*

Finnish Institute at Athens &
Department of Turkish and Modern Asian Studies, University of Athens

Athens, 30 September - 2 October 2010

Through the ages, the Balkans has experienced various political, cultural
and
social phases. The peninsula has been conceptualised in a number of
different,
often competing and contrasted, ways (Byzantine, Ottoman, Balkan, the East,
Eastern Europe) in academic and other discourses. However, in one way or
another, the long period of Ottoman rule constitutes an integral aspect of
all
those perceptions.

In the aforementioned processes, music has often played a central role,
either
in a direct or an indirect way: music and its representations mediate
national
ideologies and various viewpoints, such as Orientalism, Balkanism and
Occidentalism, which have a particular relationship with history in the
Balkans. Simultaneously, music is mediated through space and time, through
various means of documentation and transmission (orality, visual arts,
photographs, written text, scores and recordings).

Against this background and in the light of the current political expansion
of
the EU in the Balkan area, the exploration of issues related to cultural
identity and relations to the Ottoman past gains more prominence and
requires a
critical, interdisciplinary dialogue. In particular, the changes that the EU
expansion will bring about to the existing structures of Balkan societies,
cultures and cultural policies from a musical point of view remain to be
addressed.

This conference welcomes innovative interdisciplinary (e.g. ethnomusicology,
history, anthropology, cultural studies)  papers addressing the following
topics:

     - How are Orientalism, Balkanism and Occidentalism expressed and
     constituted through music and its representations in the Balkans
     - Nationalism mediated through music and *vice versa*
     - Music, propaganda and the media: radio, television, the press and the
     Internet
     - Beyond music: analysing Balkan soundscapes as products of the past

Abstracts (max 300 words) of papers and poster presentations should be
submitted by February 15, 2010 to the following email address:
<conf2010@...>

The languages of the conference are English and Greek. Please specify
possible AV needs. All abstracts will be reviewed and authors will be
notified about the results by April 14, 2010.

This is a great new resource for researchers and all those interested in
the last twenty years of Bulgarian history.

Below is a short, but thorough, documentary of some of Zhivkov's and the
BKP's criminal dealings with Robert Maxwell before everything fell
apart.  Just in case anyone tries to convince you that corruption in
Bulgaria began only AFTER 1989.  Enjoy!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Xu-Gni5iSQ

April 1989: Ecoglasnost Independent Association set up.

October 26, 1989: During Meeting on the Protection of the Environment of the Conference on Security and Co-operation in Europe, Ecoglasnost activists, collecting signatures for halting construction of Rila and Mesta hydropower projects, are dispersed by police in front of Kristal Caf? in central Sofia.

November 17, 1989: National Assembly relieves Todor Zhivkov of his responsibilities as State Council President (head of State) and elects Peter Mladenov to this office. Parliament forms committee to draft constitutional amendment, repeals Penal Code provision criminalizing "willful dissemination of untrue allegations that can create mistrust in the government or cause disturbance in society", and amnesties those convicted under this provision.

November 18, 1989: Podkrepa Independent Trade Union, Ecoglasnost and other "informal" organizations organize first free rally in front of St Alexander [Aleksandr] Nevsky Memorial Cathedral in Sofia.

February 9, 1990: UDF publishes pilot issue of its Demokratsiya daily.

April 10, 1990: Political Parties Act enters into force, enabling over 400 parties to register in Bulgaria during ensuing 20 years.

June 10 and 17, 1990: Elections of 7th Grand National Assembly held, won by BSP. UDF contests results, leading to resignation of President Peter [Petur] Mladenov on July 6, 1990.

August 1, 1990: Grand National Assembly elects UDF leader Zhelyu Zhelev president of Bulgaria.

August 26, 1990: Party House (BCP Central Committee headquarters) in Sofia set on fire.

February 17, 1997: Bulgaria applies for NATO membership.

June 17, 2001: Simeon II National Movement (SNM) [SND], newly established party led by Bulgaria's ex-monarch, Simeon Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, wins 50 per cent of seats in parliamentary elections. Saxe-Coburg-Gotha forms coalition Cabinet with MRF, July 24, 2001.

April 2, 2004: Bulgaria formally accedes to NATO.

August 17, 2005: After June 25, 2007 parliamentary elections, BSP leader Sergei [Sergey] Stanishev forms coalition Cabinet of BSP-led Coalition for Bulgaria with SNM and MRF.

January 1, 2007: Bulgaria and Romania become 26th and 27th member states of European Union.

July 27, 2009: After his Citizens for European Development of Bulgaria Party (GERB) wins 116 legislative seats in July 5 parliamentary elections, ex-Sofia Mayor Boyko Borissov [Borisov] forms all-GERB cabinet.

While not as famous as the fall of the Berlin Wall, the 20th anniversary of the
fall of one of communist Eastern Europe's longest serving dictators is worth
noting.  Unlike Poland, Zhivkov was brought down not by People Power, but by an
inside clique of the Bulgarian Communist Party (BKP).  They attempted to keep
their control of the country, but did not count on the total collapse of the
Warsaw Pact and the Eastern bloc economies, nor the rapid growth of a large,
albeit weak, democratic movement.   Bulgaria has been through much in the past
twenty years.  Most of this change is remarkable to anyone who has lived there
before and after the changes, though no one can be completely rosy about the
situation that Bulgaria finds itself in today.  Since 1989, I have spoken to
many former leaders of the BKP and they have told me that in fact their goal was
not change, but containment.   They wanted and desired above all to stifle any
change in Bulgaria and maintain the BKP's authoritarian grip indefinitely.

Regardless of the troubles that Bulgaria has seen in the past two decades, on
this 20th anniversary of Zhivkov's fall,  let's all be grateful that they did
not succeed.

Call for Proposals
The Socialist 1960s: Popular Culture and the Socialist City in Global
Perspective
Deadline for submissions: OCTOBER 15, 2009

2010 Fisher Forum, Russian, East European, and Eurasian Center at the
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, June 24-26, 2010


The 1960s witnessed an explosion of cross-cultural fertilization in a time
of world competition for the hegemony of two enduring "systems" - capitalism
and socialism. As a moment when decolonization created immense possibilities
for liberation movements throughout the world, the 1960s became the heyday
of the "Second World" appeals to the newly decolonized societies of the
"Third World," as well as the reemergence of a European "First World" as a
postwar consumer society in reaction to American hegemony.  This was the
moment when the "orderedness" of the three worlds was arguably the most
prominent in popular discourse and culture, and a moment when that order was
contested and destabilized.  The patterns that first emerged in the 1960s -
cultural contest, political mobility, urbanization and the rise of urban
youth movements, women's rights, the hegemony of popular over "high" culture
driven by technology - form the bases of today's discussions of
globalization, its challenges, dangers, and contestation.

The purpose of this conference will be to use the Second World, the
socialist societies of the 1960s, as the center from which to explore global
interconnections and uncover new and perhaps surprising patterns of cultural
cross-pollination. This forum will be structured around cities as the units
of analysis, and it will focus on the arena of popular culture as played out
in these city spaces.   More specifically, we invite paper proposals that
focus on one of three realms of  urban popular culture - media (including
cinema, television, popular music); material culture (including spaces and
their uses as well as commodities), and leisure (including tourism and other
activities).  We consider these exemplary of the circulation of objects,
images, sounds, and impressions on a level different from political
programs, literature and "fine arts." Several thematic threads will tie
together this consideration of the circulation of popular culture around and
through the Second world: mobility and cultural transmission; youth cultures
and student movements; gender; consumerism and hedonism; the state and
cultural exchange; technology and cultural dissemination; cosmopolitan
political mobilization.  Our aims will be to consider what the "1960s" meant
in socialist countries, and to discuss the balance in the 1960s between
cultural global integration and continuing political differentiation.

The core of the forum will be the socialist societies of eastern Europe and
the Soviet Union, but the forum would be enriched by participation from
scholars who study other socialist societies.   We anticipate that the
conference will result in a published volume: submissions should be original
work, not previously published.

The conference organizers are Diane P. Koenker, University of Illinois at
Urbana-Champaign (dkoenker@...) and Anne E. Gorsuch, University of
British Columbia (gorsuch@...).  We welcome advance
inquiries.

Please send proposed paper title and abstracts to each of the organizers by
October 15, 2009.  Proposals should indicate which of the conference themes
the paper addresses, and the term "Sixties" or "1960s" should be explicit in
the paper title. Selection of participants will be made by November 30,
2009, and conference papers should be submitted by April 1, 2010.

The Ralph and Ruth Fisher Forum is held in conjunction with the Summer
Research Laboratory on Russia, Eastern Europe, and Eurasia. The conference
is made possible by Mary and Hal Zirin's generous gift to the Ralph and Ruth
Fisher Endowment Fund in honor of Professor Ralph Fisher and his wife Ruth.
Ralph Fisher is Professor Emeritus of History at the University of Illinois
and founder of the Russian, East European, and Eurasian Center and the
Summer Research Lab.

The documentary film BINKA: TO TELL A STORY ABOUT SILENCE about Bulgarian
director Binka Zhelyazkova will be screened on September 27th                 
at 17:30 p.m. within the film festival Resistances de femmes 2009 near Paris.
The festival takes place at the Centre culturel Jean Vilar 1, rue Paul Signac
94110 Arcueil, France

Bulgarian director Binka Zhelyazkova (b.1923) never shrank from controversy. A
filmpioneer, she was at the forefront of political cinema under Bulgaria's
Communist dictatorship. Her allegorical and urban dramas examined human rights,
artistic freedom and the legitimacy of the political system itself. Intercutting
riveting scenes from Binka's films, rare archival footage, and candid interviews
with former Bulgarian studio executives and film professionals, this provocative
portrait reveals the pressures and complexities that arise when art is made
under totalitarianism.

Please find information about the screening at this link.

on Youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=siEfWhMw0v0 and learn more about the

"Ivanka Ivanova is an innovative and expressive singer from Bulgaria, in the
music she performs
there are elements of rock, pop even rap and techno"- these are the first lines
of the introduction
of our singer on the site of the musical company where she is "at the top".
There are 44 songs in the CDs (15 in Songs of the Golden Chest and Sunset in
Stano) which were translated as Songs of the Golden Chest and Sunset in Stano
and 14 in Bulgarian Jodeling.

"I have invested so much money, emotions and time in these songs- I have paid to
use a recording studio and hire musicians without even thinking that my
investment might one day pay off. I have put all this effort because I want to
sing and that day really came- the release of my album in the USA cost me
nothing, on the contrary, I am being paid 50 % of what is sold"- the
beautifully-voiced singer is content with such a contract. Part of the songs
were recorded in 1985  at Veselina radio station with Lijubo Dosev's orchestra.
The other part was recorded three years later at Pazardzhik radio station with
three musicians from the Pazardzhik Folk Dances Ensemble which played on wooden
flute, rebec and bagpipe. One of the songs was recorded with the singer
Radoslava Mihailova. The two songs about a carnival are from the time when
Ivanova used to sing with the german group Schell Sieg Brass Band and together
they performed on a huge stage
in the city of Cologne in front of the new pope Benedict XVI.

ACM has been on the music market since 1981 and was founded by the renowned USA
songwriters- Al Cohen and Eve Adams. The company works with some of the top
names in the musical business like Viacom, Paramount, Atlantic Records, Sony,
PolyGram, Warner Brothers and MCI World Com.

Over 250 songwriters, composers, groups and performers have signed a contract
with ACM
Records. The company is proud to state that it has discovered the singer Chaka
Khan for the
music business.
