Download or read book Balkan Popular Culture and the Ottoman Ecumene written by Donna A. Buchanan and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2007-10-01 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the early twentieth century, 'balkanization' has signified the often militant fracturing of territories, states, or groups along ethnic, religious, and linguistic divides. Yet the remarkable similarities found among contemporary Balkan popular music reveal the region as the site of a thriving creative dialogue and interchange. The eclectic interweaving of stylistic features evidenced by Albanian commercial folk music, Anatolian pop, Bosnian sevdah-rock, Bulgarian pop-folk, Greek ethniki mousike, Romanian muzica orientala, Serbian turbo folk, and Turkish arabesk, to name a few, points to an emergent regional popular culture circuit extending from southeastern Europe through Greece and Turkey. While this circuit is predicated upon older cultural confluences from a shared Ottoman heritage, it also has taken shape in active counterpoint with a variety of regional political discourses. Containing eleven ethnographic case studies, Balkan Popular Culture and the Ottoman Ecumene: Music, Image, and Regional Political Discourse examines the interplay between the musicians and popular music styles of the Balkan states during the late 1990s. These case studies, each written by an established regional expert, encompass a geographical scope that includes Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, the Republic of Macedonia, Croatia, Slovenia, Romania, Greece, Turkey, Serbia, and Montenegro. The book is accompanied by a VCD that contains a photo gallery, sound files, and music video excerpts.

Book excerpt: ● The Balkan Mountains cut through the very heart of southeast Europe, carving off what is sometimes called the Balkan Peninsula. But more than just a geographic area, the Balkans are a cultural region, with histories dating back thousands of years. These mountains and the people that call them home often found themselves at the borders between civilizations and empires, whether it be at the crossroads between Islam and Christianity, the schism between Catholic and Orthodox believers, or the ideological battlegrounds between Communism and Capitalism. As such, no book as short as this one could do this land justice. Presented here then is simply a short photo essay, an introduction to some of the colors, places, and peoples that make the Balkans such a beautiful and vibrant part of Europe.● This is a professional quality photo book, with large photos printed on premium lustre paper, showcasing many beautiful locations, including Albania and all of the former Yugoslavia (Bosnia Herzegovina, Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia, Kosovo, Macedonia, and Montenegro). For context there are also a few short notes on history and culture.● The perfect gift for anyone curious about (or in love with) the Balkans!

Download or read book The British and the Balkans written by Eugene Michail and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2011-08-18 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever since the end of the Cold War the Balkans have preoccupied European public opinion much more than any other region of the old Eastern bloc. To a large extent this is a result of the wars following the break-up of Yugoslavia. The conflicts of the 1990s raised a series of questions about the nature of Balkan history as compared to an assumed European norm. Even more, they triggered prolonged discussions on the form and timing of foreign engagement in the region, both during the war, and ahead of the eastward expansion of the European Union. These public debates underlay the emergence of a related academic interest in intercultural contacts between the Balkans and the rest of Europe over the last three centuries. The British and the Balkans is a close study of the history of the image of the Balkans in Britain in the first half of the 20th century, and of the channels through which this image was built. It proposes new interpretative models for broader research in the formation of public images of foreign lands.

Book excerpt: "Chuck Sudetic provides an essay giving Haviv's photographs a historical, political, and cultural context. Sudetic sheds light on the forces behind the tragic cycles of war that have engulfed the Balkans over the past century. David Rieff offers an acute and impassioned defense of the document and the importance of witness. Bernard Kouchner, present-day governor of Kosovo, writes with vigorous morality and passion about the importance and implication of the past on the future of the former Yugoslavia. The images in Blood and Honey are further augmented by a chronology of the conflict and quotations from victims, perpetrators, political figures, and international observers that provide alternative and opposing voices about the war."--BOOK JACKET.
