Abstract

In Carrying the Word: The Concheros Dance in Mexico City, the first full length study of the Concheros dancers, Susanna Rostas explores the experience of this unique group, whose use of dance links rural religious practices with urban post-modern innovation in distinctive ways even within Mexican culture, which is rife with ritual dances. The Concheros blend Catholic and indigenous traditions in their performances, but are not governed by a predetermined set of beliefs; rather they are bound together by long standing interpersonal connections framed by the discipline of their tradition.

Abstract

In Hoedowns, Reels, and Frolics, old-time musician and flatfoot dancer Philip Jamison journeys into the past and surveys the present to tell the story behind the square dances, step dances, reels, and other forms of dance practiced in southern Appalachia. These distinctive folk dances, Jamison argues, are not the unaltered jigs and reels brought by early British settlers, but hybrids that developed over time by adopting and incorporating elements from other popular forms. He traces the forms from their European, African American, and Native American roots to the modern day. On the way he explores the powerful influence of black culture, showing how practices such as calling dances as well as specific kinds of steps combined with white European forms to create distinctly "American" dances. From cakewalks to clogging, and from the Shoo-fly Swing to the Virginia Reel, Hoedowns, Reels, and Frolics reinterprets an essential aspect of Appalachian culture.

Abstract

Dance and Authenticity is an ethnography of dance performance and cultural form. It describes how dabkeh , a type of dance performed at Palestinian weddings, became a model for the Israeli Jewish debkah as a means of affirming Israeli Jewish belonging and common society. The Palestinian dabkeh , in turn, acquired nationalist meanings, especially after the 1967 war and the occupation of the West Bank. The book traces the history of these competing, and conflicting, dance forms, basing the argument principally on the ethnographic study of two Palestinian and one Israeli Jewish dance group conducted between 1998 and 1999. The result is a fascinating parallel ethnography, showing how the ethnography of dance forms contributes to evolving notions of collective national and political identity in a context of unequal power.

Abstract

Folk Music Journal is a peer-reviewed journal of research into all aspects of traditional song, music, dance, and drama. It is the journal of the Vaughan Williams Memorial Library, England's national folk music and dance archive, and is sent free to all members of the English Folk Dance and Song Society. Folk Music Journal is the continuation of the Journal of the English Folk Dance and Song Society, which was itself the continuation of the Journal of the Folk-Song Society, first published in 1899, and the Journal of the English Folk Dance Society. Contents include articles, correspondence, reviews of books and sound recordings, and obituaries. Its aim is to be both scholarly and accessible, and the journal prides itself on working with authors who do not come from a traditional academic background. Although the main focus is on Britain and Ireland, no strict geographical limit is imposed.
