The document discusses how music relates to national and cultural identity. It explores how national identity is complex and imagined rather than fixed, and how music both expresses existing identities and allows for new identities to form. Globalization and online music consumption have made cultural influences borderless, so music no longer solely shapes local or national identity as it once did.

Malm, a process that was beginning when they were conducting their study.
By the mid- 1990s, the major entertainment industries derived over 50 percent
of their income from foreign markets (Burnett 1996, 11). The mergers and ac-
quisitions in the advertising industry discussed in chapter 2 affected the other
cultural industries just as much. The cultural industries shifted to a model of
seeking to find and promote blockbusters that they can market around the
world rather than cultivating local or regional artists.
MTV found its way to Europe in the late 1980s, then India in the late
1990s and elsewhere on the planet, and found that it could not simply export
American culture around the world; local musics needed to be aired in order
for the network to have a chance of survival. But local musics frequently owe
much to Western pop and rock. And these musics are frequently employed
in marketing campaigns. Local rock music, for example, is used to promote
a rising consumer culture in India through the sponsorship of festivals by
multinational brands (Coventry 2013).
The Rise of “World Music”
Those few recordings of musics from outside of Western metropoles by
major labels, along with imports of recording by small labels, slowly began to
awaken interest in what has become known as “world music.” While Western
popular musics had been exported to non- Western countries for decades, it
wasn’t until the 1980s that non- Western musicians commonly made popular
musics that clearly emulated Euro- American popular musics and that were
noticed in the West (though there was the occasional precursor, such as songs
by Miriam Makeba or Manu Dibango’s “Soul Makossa,” from 1972, and the
occasional fad for Indian or “Latin” sounds).
It was probably African popular musics that first captured the attention
of most listeners. These musics didn’t fit in the usual retail sections in record
stores or radio formats, and a new term was needed. Thus, in 1987, a group of
music professionals gathered in London to confect this new term. After ban-
dying about a variety of labels, they settled on “world music,” a term that was
already circulating in some ethnomusicological circles. The influential British
DJ Charlie Gillett recounted:
We had a very simple, small ambition. It was all geared to record shops, that
was the only thing we were thinking about. In America, King Sunny Adé (from
Nigeria) was being filed under reggae. That was the only place shops could
think of to put him. In Britain they didn’t know where to put this music— I
think A.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
Honest Reviews of Tim Han LMA Course Program.pptxtimhan337
Personal development courses are widely available today, with each one promising life-changing outcomes. Tim Han’s Life Mastery Achievers (LMA) Course has drawn a lot of interest.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
2. Music and national Identity
• Defining National Identity
• The Music of your country
• National Anthems
• National Composers
• Music is not bound by borders
• The Borderless MP3
• Who do we think we are
3. Quick Task – National Identity
1) Quick task – National Identity Where were you born?
2) Where were your parents/grandparents born?
3) Where did you go to school?
4) List at least 5 things you think of as ‘(your nationality)’.
5) What do you think of when you think of your ‘Nation’?
6) (Flags, places, people?)
7) What do you think of when you think of Scottish music?
National Identity is hard to define! It may have something to do
with borders, history, culture, legal status and the economy.
It may be largely imagined.

5. The Problem with identity
‘The problem starts when one expects to find ‘identity’ within the
body or mind of the individual. This is to look in the wrong place for
the operation of identity. … To have a national identity is to have a
way of talking about nationhood. … only if people believe that they
have national identities, will such homelands, and the world of
national homelands, be reproduced. … Nor is national identity to be
explored by taking a scale from the psychological library of tests and
administering it to a suitable populations. … National identities are
forms of social life, rather than internal psychological states; as such,
they are ideological creations, caught up in the historical processes of
nationhood.
Michael Billig Banal Nationalism (1995)
6. A nation will often hide behind its icons and what they represent, such as
Bonnie Prince Charlie, Robert the Burce or Robert Burns, in order to
preserve an identity they have become accustomed to.
The meaning of these icons would change if the relationship between them
and the nation they represent was less arbitrary, so it is imperative that in
order to maintain ones identity, one has to neglect what is often the
‘inconvenient’ truth.
“Myths can help bridge the present with the past, to offer a legitimating
continuity through suitable history" (McCrone)
"Myth history is vital part of the story-telling of any country...."Myths don't
disappear when confronted with facts - they operate on a different plane -
they validate experience and action, independent of their truth status
Truths and Myths
7. National Composers
‘Nationalism’ in 20th centaury musical terms refers to the musical ideologies and
motifs associated with a specific country, region, or ethnicity, such as folk tunes
and melodies, rhythms, and harmonies inspired by them. (Shepherd 1997)
At the end of the 19th century, new music exploded. Serialism became the vogue of the
day, rejecting melodies for its ‘sissy’ characteristic. Impressionism, however, bloomed in
France, celebrating the beauty of simplicity. Claude Debussy was, undoubtedly, the
foremost composer for impressionist music. He drew inspiration from the Orient, utilizing
the Pentatonic scale of oriental music, as well as the similarly exotic whole tone scale.
His music resembles the paintings of that time – calming and having an emphasis on
movement.

Germany has been the epicenter of classical music, with the presence of Bach, Beethoven,
Brahms, the Strauss family, Bruckner etc. However, none of them embodies the German
spirit as much as Richard Wagner. Wagner remains the most controversial composer. His
anti-semitism led him to become Hitler’s favorite composer, and his music is still commonly
associated with Fascism.
Wagner wrote operas. Huge, purely Wagnerian operas that no one has ever attempted. He
threw away the Italian tradition, and created his own, purely German opera.

Vietnam - "Tien Quan Ca"/"Army March
Our flag, red with the blood of victory,
bears the spirit of the country.
The distant rumbling of the guns mingles
with our marching song.
The path to glory is built by the bodies of
our foes.”
For too long have we swallowed our
hatred. Be ready for all sacrifices
Scottish National Anthem
2nd verse
The Hills are bare now,
And Autumn leaves
Lie thick and still,
O'er land that is lost now,
Which those so dearly held,
That stood against him,
Proud Edward's Army,
And sent him homeward,
French National Anthem
Rise children of the fatherland. The day of glory has arrived
Against us tyranny's. Bloody standard is raised
Listen to the sound in the fields. The howling of these fearsome soldiers
They are coming into our midst. To cut the throats of your sons and consorts
To arms citizens Form your battalions March, march Let impure blood Water our furrows.
10. Eurovision
• Music has a powerful influence on the individual as well as the collective. Music that can be
defined as ‘fundamentally collective’ is national music. Concepts such as unisonance and
cultural intimacy make that clear. Political scientist Benedict Anderson came up with the term
‘unisonance’, which refers to the sonic moment that occurs when people from throughout the
nation gather in a shared performance of music. This moment, this communal experience of
music, generates a feeling of cultural intimacy (Bohlman, 2002).
• The ESC has created throughout its history a form of European public sphere that has both
reflected and contribute to what constitutes the shared meaning of ‘Europe’
• The Eurovision Song Contest presents one of the most successful pan-European identity
building vehicles to date, through the following three main modes:
a) identity-formation at the pan-European level;
b) identity articulation at a national level, both endogenous –that of the nation towards
itself- and exogenous –the nation towards the ‘other’ Europe.
c) An arena for manageable popular expression of national ‘contests’ and regional
collusion. (Gonzalo Torres (2011))
• It has been utilized by nations as a vehicle to ‘speak’ and present themselves to Europe as
rightful members of it

12. Local versus National
• Each Country is made up with different regions, UK, USA, France, Spain, etc.. The UK,
despite being a small country has four, and within these regions, there are local
communities, with local sounds. Scotland alone has four recognised Dialects; in
conjunction to this we also have local vernaculars…”Gonny” “Ken” “Wheesht” “Aye”
• These local languages/sounds do not give a representation of what the nations music
represents and or the rest of the UK.
• Multiculturalism - The leading factors that construct identity within one’s nation is
immigration and emigration. The UK has influences from France, Germany, Norway,
Ireland, Denmark, ect. Both Canada and America, has direct cultural identifiers from
most of Europe.
• Studies within ethnomusicology, however, stress that music not only is a cultural and
expressive practice that bonds group members together, but can also cross boundaries
between social identities and shape new ones (Cidra 2015; Pettan and Titon 2015)
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIFJ8tgECZ8
13. Consumption and distribution
• “Independent music scenes have been prominent in the last two decades of the 20th
century, but today indie music can be disseminated online, and internet tools allow
people in distant locations to engage with each other easily online. With the popularity
of the internet, some local spaces devoted to music are becoming less popular and less
viable. Yet local spaces continue to provide the infrastructure for music scene”
(Kruse2010)
• The main governing factor that has changed the manner in which music shapes identity
is online consumption.
• Online music is borderless; therefore influences that once shaped the local and national
identity is no longer applicable. Individuals, locals, and nations can be directly influenced
from music around the globe.
• Music not only functions to express and maintain pre‐existing identities, it also provides
resources for contesting and negotiating identities and constructing new ones Due to
globalisation processes, with their flows of ideas, people and products, hybridisations
are continuously arising between cultural identities, practices and belongings.
(Jung 2014; Kyker 2013; Stokes 2004).
14. Conclusions
• National Identity is hard to define! It may have
something to do with borders, history, culture, legal
status and the economy. It may be largely imagined.
• Music can be associated with cultural/national/local identity
– but rarely in a narrow sense
• Like all forms of modern identity, Cultural identity is now no
longer fixed, as the influences that define who we are
changes, so does music.
