Reggae borderzones, reggae graveyards: Bob Marley fandom in Bali

The road from Bali’s international airport to the island’s most renowned tourist area, Kuta Beach, leads past a number of establishments claiming affiliation to reggae music and Rastafarianism in large, appropriately coloured billboards. A sign outside a tee shirt shop bears the words RASTA MANIA within a green, yellow and red border, and a stick figure caricaturing negritude, the logo of this clothing label. In the window display hangs a tee shirt, and upon it Bob Marley’s wizened face. His lips pinch a cone-shaped spliff, and he squints behind a veil of airbrushed smoke. A leanto sign on the sidewalk outside Apache Bar announce REGGAE BANDS NIGHTLY. This barn of coconut wood and thatch nestles behind Wendy’s Ice Cream Parlour and Chi Chi’s Mexican Bar. Its timber walls emulate a rustic, spaghetti Western aesthetic and are adorned with portraits of native Americans. In addition to the reggae bands, nightly, Apache bar unites young Japanese women with local ‘guides’.2

Discurso e representação sobre as práticas rituais dos esparciatas e dos seus basileus na Lacedemônia, do século V a.C.

A história da pólis de Esparta como, por vezes, nos foi apresentada tomou uma perspectiva historiográfica dotada de pressupostos Atenocêntricos, os quais acabaram apresentando-a como rústica, dotada de uma economia e uma cultura estática e demasiadamente inclinada às atividades militares. No entanto, através de nossa pesquisa verificamos que as práticas político-culturais dos cidadãos de Esparta eram dinâmicas, para sua época. Seguindo por esse viés, verificamos que as representações de Esparta, sobretudo dos esparciatas e dos seus basileus, variaram de acordo com o grupo social e o contexto histórico em que foram empregadas. Com isso, observamos que embora os cidadãos de Esparta tenham sido, em algumas circunstâncias, criticados pelos pensadores antigos, esta não foi uma tendência hegemônica. Sendo assim, mediante os indícios da documentação literária do período Clássico, notamos que os esparciatas e os seus basileus teriam sido homens dotados de um habitus tradicional, o qual valorizava o aprimoramento físico e mental, assim como a responsabilidade com os deveres sagrados. Através da interação entre os vestígios documentais e dos estudos historiográficos mapeamos parte das representações de Esparta que figuraram os diversos discursos no decorrer da história do Ocidente, no intuito de materializarmos as possíveis motivações político-culturais nas apropriações do habitus espartano. Por conseguinte, recorremos à documentação literária para entendermos como parte dos pensadores clássicos concebeu, por meio de uma memória ancestral, a formação da região da Lacedemônia e da pólis de Esparta, a qual teria se dado concomitantemente com a legitimação político-cultural da identidade étnica dos basileus e dos esparciatas. Por fim, analisamos as práticas rituais em honra ao deus Apolo como um mecanismo empregado pelos segmentos sociais hegemônicos da Lacedemônia para ratificar o seu poder político frente a grupos sociais submetidos.

TALLY HORN! ECHOES OF HOOFBEATS AND HAUNTS: RECORDED SELECTIONS FOR HORN AND PIANO

In the 17th and 18th centuries, the European hunting horn was an instrument associated with the thrill of the chase, rustic scenes, and the pageantry of royal hunts. The sound of this horn and the music that evolved from its heritage would inspire composers writing for the modern horn. TALLY HOrn! Echoes of Hoofbeats and Haunts: Recorded Selections for Horn and Piano are two compact discs of works for horn and piano as well as solo horn reflecting this association with the hunt and include additional works of expressive contrast – lyrical pieces and nocturnes. Nine of the pieces reflect the modern horn’s beginnings and they are Abbot’s Alla Caccia, Berge’s Horn-Lokk, Boutry’s Chassacor, Bozza’s En Fôret, Büsser’s La Chasse de St. Hubert, Pessard’s In the Forest, Piantoni’s Air de Chasse, Schmid’s Im Tiefsten Walde, and Vinter’s Hunter’s Moon. By contrast, three of the selections, Gliére’s Nocturne, Strauss’ Nocturno, and Van Ecchaute’s Nachtpoëma are nocturnes that showcase the expressive quality of the horn. In addition, Bush’s Autumn Poem, Bacon’s Song After the Rain, and Webber’s Summer Pastures are included for their lyric qualities and evocations of nature. The largest work of the project is John Williams’s Concerto for Horn. Its five movements feature both hunting horn traits and expressive qualities. Alejandro Hernandez-Valdez and Grace Cho were the two pianists engaged for the recording. The recording engineer was Edward Kelly. The producer was Carlos Rodriquez. The pieces were recorded at the Spencerville Seventh-day Adventist Church sanctuary in Spencerville, Maryland between November 2010 and February 2011.

Casa-Museu Leal da Câmara: serviço educativo e estratégias de comunicação

RESUMO: A presente dissertação de Mestrado teve como objectivo a análise e caracterização das actividades do serviço educativo e das estratégias de comunicação da Casa-Museu de Leal da Câmara (CMLC). Partindo de um estudo de caso, pretendeu-se apresentar perspectivas futuras para o alargamento dos públicos, das actividades e das acções de comunicação na CMLC e em museus do mesmo tipo. Esta investigação incide sobre o período de 2003 a 2011, isto é, desde a criação do serviço educativo até aos dias de hoje. Para melhor conhecer o objecto de estudo torna-se necessário apresentar o artista/patrono e caracterizar o território (Rinchoa) onde se insere a CMLC, bem como a comunidade que habita no Município de Sintra. Esta comunidade, outrora chamada saloia, influenciou a obra do artista assim como as suas actividades. De modo a caracterizar o público-alvo das actividades educativas foram realizados inquéritos sobre o serviço educativo. Pretendeu-se com estes inquéritos, por um lado, conhecer o nível de satisfação do público escolar e não escolar e, por outro, aferir quais as condições que permitiriam o alargamento das actividades educativas ao público em geral. Tendo ainda por objectivo conhecer a visibilidade e os meios através dos quais o público teve conhecimento da CMLC, realizou-se o inquérito sobre comunicação. Para além dos inquéritos sobre o serviço educativo e comunicação foram ainda realizadas seis entrevistas, três das quais aos dirigentes da Câmara Municipal de Sintra directamente ligados aos destinos da CMLC e outras três entrevistas a parceiros e participantes nas actividades do serviço educativo. Após análise de todos os dados recolhidos conclui-se que o público-alvo do serviço educativo é o público escolar e que a CMLC é visitada maioritariamente pela comunidade local escolar. A maioria dos visitantes fica a conhecer a CMLC através de outros meios como a escola ou o trabalho e não através dos meios de comunicação onde a Casa-Museu é frequentemente divulgada. ABSTRACT: The aim of this Master's thesis was to analyze and characterize the activities of the educational service and communication strategies of the Casa Museu Leal da Câmara (CMLC). Starting from a case study, we have sought to present future prospects for extending the public, the activities and these communication actions from CMLC to the museums of the same type. This research focuses on the period from 2003 to 2011, i.e. (that is), since the creation of the educational service to the present day. To better understand the object of this study it is necessary to present the artist / patron and the territory around CMLC (Rinchoa) where it belongs, as well as the community that inhabits the Municipality of Sintra. This community, formerly known as rustic (saloia) has influenced the artist's work and his activities. There were conducted surveys about the educational service to further understand the target of the educational activities. This was intended to determine the level of school and non school public satisfaction with this service and the main needs for its extension to the general public. To understand the visibility and the means by which the public was aware of the CMLC an inquiry was held on the communication methods. In addition to inquiries about the educational service and communication six interviews were also carried out, three of which to the leaders of the Municipality of Sintra directly linked to the policies of the CMLC and the others to partners and participants in the activities of educational services. After analyzing all the data we have concluded that the target audience of educational services is the school public and that the CMLC is visited mostly by the local school community. Most visitors became aware of the CMLC through other means as school or workplace and not through the media where the CMLC is often released.

Le villae rusticae romane e la loro dimensione economica : uno sguardo alla penisola italiana

What a villa was is a question that engaged the Latin authors themselves, for the term is used with a certain flexibility throughout Roman history: rustic farm, luxurious mansion provided with agricultural production quarters, ultimately village in Late Antiquity. The common denominators, however, were the location outside the urban boundaries and the embedded idea of productivity. Also modern scholars have used the term villa to refer to different things depending on the geographic area under investigation. In this paper I focus on Italian villae rusticae, offering a survey of their economic dimension and attested production activities. Through a series of case studies, some specific examples of attested productions in rural villas, in addition to common agricultural activities are discussed, such as textile and lime production. The key concept to remember is that depending on location and available natural resources, an array of productions was possible, either to achieve self-sufficiency or for exchange on the market.
