Jews and Armenians are often perceived as peoples with similar
tragic historical experiences. Not only were both groups forced
into statelessness and a life outside their homelands for
centuries, in the 20th century, in the shadow of war, they were
threatened with collective annihilation. Thus far, academic
approaches to these two "classical" diasporas have been quite
different. Moreover, Armenian and Jewish questions posed during the
19th and 20th centuries have usually been treated separately. The
conference "We Will Live After Babylon" that took place in Hanover
in February 2019, addressed this gap in research and was one of the
first initiatives to deal directly with Jewish and Armenian
historical experiences, between expulsion, exile and annihilation,
in a comparative framework. The contributions in this volume take
on multidisciplinary approaches relating to the conference's
central themes: diaspora, minority issues and genocide.
Seit den 1960er Jahren steigt in Europa die Zahl der judischen
Kulturerbeprojekte. Im Gedenken an die Schoa suchen Nichtjuden die
Relikte der Vergangenheit zu bewahren und lassen dabei nicht selten
die gegenwartigen judischen Gemeinden ausser Acht. Die Autorinnen
unterziehen diese Praxis des "authorized heritage" einer kritischen
Betrachtung. Mit Blick auf das judische Kulturerbe Musik enthullen
sie vor dem Hintergrund aktueller Debatten um kulturelle
Nachhaltigkeit die Gefahren von Konstruktion, kultureller Aneignung
und Instrumentalisierung des Erbes. Mit der Diskussion
innerjudischer Nachhaltigkeitskonzepte, flankiert von
philosophischen Thesen zum Erbe und zur Verantwortung fur den
Anderen, werden Denkanstoesse fur einen neuen, zukunftsorientierten
Umgang mit judischem Kulturerbe gegeben.
'Cultural mapping' has become a central keyword in the UNESCO
strategy to protect natural and world cultural heritage, including
music traditions. As a tool to increase the awareness of cultural
diversity it transforms the concept of intangible cultural heritage
to visible items by establishing multi-dimensional profiles of
cultures and communities. Cultural mapping has been used as a
resource for a variety of purposes as broad as the analysis of
conflict points and peace building, adaptation to climate change,
sustainability management, as well as heritage debates and
management. Music has been playing a significant role in each of
these aspects. As this theme has rarely been explored within
ethnomusicology, this collection approaches the topic of cultural
mapping from four different thematic perspectives: The book starts
out with historical and methodological reflections on cultural
mapping in ethnomusicology, followed by an exploration on possible
relation between nature/ landscape (and definition of such) and
music/ sound. How exactly is landscape interrelated with music -
and identified (and vice versa)? The second half focuses more
specifically on the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. The
articles not only address the broader political framework, but also
thematic and geographic case studies of Intangible Cultural
Heritage and music, as well as the pro of UNESCO's endeavours.

In the 1960s, Jewish music in America began to evolve. Traditional
liturgical tunes developed into a blend of secular and sacred sound
that became known in the 1980s as "American Nusach." Chief among
these developments was the growth of feminist Jewish songwriting.
In this lively study, Sarah M. Ross brings together scholarship on
Jewish liturgy, U.S. history, and musical ethnology to describe the
multiple roots and development of feminist Jewish music in the last
quarter of the twentieth century. Focusing on the work of prolific
songwriters such as Debbie Friedman, Rabbi Geela Rayzel Raphael,
Rabbi Hanna Tiferet Siegel, and Linda Hirschhorn, this volume
illuminates the biographies and oeuvres of innovators in the field,
and shows how this new musical form arose from the rich contexts of
feminism, identity politics, folk music, and Judaism. In addition
to providing deep content analysis of individual songs, Ross
examines the feminist Jewish music scene across the United States,
the reception of this music, challenges to disseminating the music
beyond informal settings, and the state of Jewish music publishing.
Rounding out the picture of the transformation of Jewish music, the
volume contains appendixes of songs and songwriters a selection of
musical transcriptions of feminist Jewish songs, and a
comprehensive discography. This book will interest scholars and
students in the fields of American Jewish history, women's studies,
feminism, ethnomusicology, and contemporary popular and folk music.

Six months ago, Lucy Donovan thought that being killed by a drunk
driver was the worst thing that could happen to her. She was wrong.
Now, the person she loves most has been ripped away from her, soul
held hostage, and Lucy has vowed to stop at nothing to get it back.
Part of a new team with enhanced powers, Lucy and her friends begin
a quest to avenge the souls that have been stolen. Enemies of the
Patronus have united, however, and a spy from within the Patronus
realm is feeding the enemy their every move. When a mission goes
horribly wrong, Lucy's soul becomes compromised. It will take a
strength she didn't know was within her to escape the darkness,
return to the light and avenge the soul she loves.
Jillian had a plan: celebrate the end of her first year of college
with an amazing summer full of beaches, barbeques, and bonfires.
When her mom insists she needs a summer job, and her boyfriend
spends more time with his band than with her, Jillian's plans go
down the drain. Grant had a plan: finish his Masters, get a great
job at Google, and get the hell out of Georgia. He might be giving
up some of the fun of his youth, but he knows his all work and no
play method would be worth it when his dreams came true. But things
never go according to plan. When temptation brings them together
and tragedy tears them apart, Jillian and Grant will be forced to
choose: fight for their dreams, or fight for each other.
18 year old Tessa Copeland barely survived the worst year of her
life-in fact, it was a miracle. After making it through the tragedy
that killed both of her parents, she's left to pick up the pieces
of her life. Combating the holes in her memory and the concern of
her friends was hard enough, but a new talent threatens to destroy
everything she's trying to reclaim. David Allegri didn't mean to
ruin Tessa's life. She was the brightest soul he'd seen in
centuries and he couldn't let her die, so the fallen angel used his
abilities to heal her-only he took it too far and changed Tessa
forever. Now, he has to figure out a way to explain what's
happening to Tessa and somehow protect both of them from the
consequences. His choice made them targets for the Hunters, who
will use any means necessary to capture their prey. Only a
desperate plan can help them escape, and sacrifices will be made.
Time is ticking. Will they make it, or will they be lost to the
echoes of fate?
Lucy Donovan was supposed to have a weekend of fun in the sun,
celebrating her upcoming graduation from college. In a split
second, everything changed. A drunk driver ended Lucy's mortal
life. Lucy opens her eyes to a world she never imagined possible
and a new destiny: as a Patronus, a guardian of spirits. Adjusting
to her new role and abilities while negotiating this confusing
realm will test her limits and push her further than she ever
dreamed she would go. From wayward spirits who don't want her help
to soul stealing vampires, and even a stuck-up British royal, Lucy
must brave them all to save one spirit she can't bear to lose.
Further complicating her confusing life is an inexplicable yet
growing connection she feels to a member of her team, Max, whose
mysterious behavior leaves her both confused and intrigued. Waking
up dead was just the beginning of her problems. Lucy's death is
about to become the greatest adventure of her life.
