The Dance Phenomenon and Social Reality Methods of Research Anna Lydaki, assistant professor at the Sociology Department of the Panteion University of Social and Political Sciences Introduction Condillac calls the expression of dance factual language and writes that this language was evidently preserved, even after phonetic-verbal expression was created, in order to notify people about topics of prime importance related to law or religion.

FOLK DANCES AND GLOBALIZATION- Prof. Dr. Neoklis Sarris / GREECE

I will start with a common aphorism so that I can conclude with a common observation as well. This aphorism is about technology as a human product, and the observation is that, within the last century, a radical and fundamental change took place in human societies through technology, which further evolved them into a uniform type: There are those who want to present this type as the ideal type representing what they call "globalization".

MUSIC IN CINEMA AS A NATIONAL AND CULTURAL IDENTITY- Dr Renata Dalianoudi

MUSIC IN CINEMA AS A NATIONAL AND CULTURAL IDENTITY Dr Renata Dalianoudi PhD. Ethnomusicology (slide 2) Since music in cinema started to serve aesthetical needs of a film and not just be one among other elements of the film projection (as it used to happen in the mute cinema and in the first steps of the speaking cinema), in other words since 1930, music has become an essential and inseparable component of a movie.

GREEK FOLK MUSIC: FROM YESTERDAY TO THE PRESENT – Α ΜUSICOLOGICAL, ETHNOLOGICAL AND AESTHETICAL APPROACH

A synoptic ethnographical presentation of the Greek folk music from the South to the North (from the island of Crete to Macedonia) and from the East to the West (from the Ionian islands to the north Aegean islands) proves that the Greek folk/ traditional music has a variety of rhythms, melodies, dancing forms/ formulas, musical instruments, poetic lyrics, metric, morphological types and structures, strophic schemes etc. A typical characteristic of the Greek traditional music is its three-part cultural identity: it is consisted of music, lyrics and dance, elements which -since the very Antiquity- were a solid and inseparable unity.

Prof. Charles Nyakiti Orawo. Cultural changes and Maintenance of Traditional Values

Introduction- Thum as known today is amorphous in that its corpus has been broadened to include not only the Luo lyre, but also the fiddle, the accordion and the guitar musics unlike what it stood for before the coming of Europeans into the Luo territory. The art of thum tradition consists of solo vocal performance by jathum, the instrument player accompanied on his instrument most often with a chorus who may or may not be involved with other instrumental accompaniments. Whatever the case, the other instrumental accompaniments would be subordinate to that played by jathum.

CAN ONE CROSSBREED AN ORANGE WITH AN APPLE ? - Professor Anna Brzozowska-Krajka

Can one crossbreed an orange with an apple?Intermarriage and ethnicity in American multicultural metropolis (In view of the movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding) Professor: Anna Brzozowska-Krajka Department of Polish, Maria Curie-Skłodowska University- Lublin, Poland- (In view of the movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding) In American social structure ethnicity refers not to the dominant native host society (summarized as WASP, i.e. White Anglo-Saxon Protestants) but to the “aliens” who inhabit mostly urban centres (those who achieve financial success move to suburbs). They include white ethnics, defined by Monsignor Geno Beroni as PIGS (Poles, Italians, Greeks, Slavs). Their ancestors immigrated to the New World for economic or political-economic reasons. From the point of view of the host society and its dominant culture they were “alien” and became outsiders. They were included into the host society but occupied partly marginal positions in it. However, according to Roger D. Abrahams and Susan Kalčik, such marginality might beas a source of power and energy

THE DEVELOPMENT OF LATVIA - Dr. Aija Jansone N FOLK DANCE IN THE PERIOD FROM THE SECOND HALF OF THE 19TH TO THE LATE 20TH CENTURY

THE TRANSITION FROM RURAL TO URBAN ENVIRONMENT AND THE EFFECTS ON TRADITIONAL CULTURE Aija Jansone /Dr. hist./ LATVIA 5th International Symposium of GREEK DANCE ARCHIVES , May 2006 Dance is one of the oldest human ways of expressing feelings and experiences, involving a variety of rhythmic movements to the accompaniment of song or musical instruments. During centuries of cultural development, in accordance with the characteristics of popular life, the means of expression used in dance have been selected and developed, and the principles guiding the development of dance sequences have become established. During this period, several genres of folk dance have developed, with their own special patterns of form and style, traditional kinds of artistic representation and means of expression.
