A very insightful article. The term Indigenous can be used by pretenindians without having connections to communities, place and land, which are the basis of our identity! We must consider these issues among First Nations here in Australia.

Khawaldeh, I. M., & Bani-Khair, B. M. (2024). Post-colonial Counter-memory in The Trial of Dedan Kimathi:(Re) Membering the Demonized Hero and Subverting the Colonial Discourse. International Journal of Arabic-English Studies, 135-154. Abstract: This paper examines how Kenyan novelist and playwright Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o and Zimbabwean playwright Micere Githae-Mugo have embarked on a dramatic counter-discursive project through their play The Trial of Dedan Kimathi (1976). The researchers argue that the play was intended to subvert the many colonial historical accounts about the figure of Kimathi and the Mau Mau revolutionary anti-colonial movement. Drawing upon post-colonial criticism, this paper demonstrates how the playwrights use the heroic fictional character of Kimathi to counteract several historical and fictional colonial and contemporary postcolonial accounts about this controversial freedom fighter. Then, the paper goes on to examine the role of Ian Henderson (the British colonial police officer who participated in the manhunt for Kimathi and succeeded in capturing him in 1957) as a fictional character in the play. While many studies have demonstrated that The Trial of Dedan Kimathi re-writes the colonial history of Kimathi and the Mau Mau movement in Kenya, which was maintained by Ian Henderson and many other colonial writers, to the best of the researchers’ knowledge; previous studies have not presented a comparative examination of both figures of Henderson, i.e., the historical figure and the fictional one. Here, the researchers explain how through the inclusion of the character of Henderson as the antagonist of the play, the dramatists subvert Henderson’s actual written accounts about Kimathi and the Kenyan national movement.

#AnalysisOfTheEntry #Entry: "Honor is - Of course honorable, but there are some dichotomous needs that exist for every civilization to thrive - that is the nature of the fabric; it's made up of rigid yarn." #Interpretation 1. #Dichotomy and #Balance:**   - The passage highlights the dichotomous nature of civilization's needs. It implies that while honor is vital and inherently positive, there are other, possibly conflicting, needs that must also be met for civilization to thrive. 2. #Structure and #Strength:**   - The metaphor of fabric made up of rigid yarn suggests that the structure of civilization is complex and built upon strong, perhaps inflexible, principles. This rigidity can be both a source of strength and a potential limitation. 3. #ImplicitContrast:**   - By stating "honor is honorable," the passage sets up an implicit contrast with the "dichotomous needs" that are necessary but not necessarily honorable. This contrast points to the complexity of maintaining a civilization that upholds ideals while also addressing practical, sometimes contradictory, necessities. #Conclusion The entry uses the metaphor of fabric and rigid yarn to illustrate the complex and multifaceted nature of civilization. It emphasizes the importance of honor while acknowledging that a thriving civilization requires more than just honorable qualities; it must also navigate and integrate various #DichotomousNeeds. This analysis reveals the delicate balance and inherent tension within the foundations of a successful society. https://lnkd.in/eJuiFyUq

https://lnkd.in/dk727sUD A. S. Gallo: Lyric Pieces for Youth Band - Vol. II No. 2 - Idyll This second volume of Lyric Pieces follows the first, published by Mulph in 2023. The new collection includes five other little and easy original pieces, especially suitable for instrumental groups of children or non-professional musicians (the degree of difficulty is 2 - 2.5). As in the first volume, the musical language is tonal, melodious and discursive. The pieces, of moderate difficulty, are in different keys with various metric indications, in order to encourage the musical growth of young instrumentalists with a wide metric and harmonic variety, always maintaining constant technical simplicity. Guides and replacements are frequently used, to allow the performance even to incomplete or poorly balanced instrumental groups. The total duration of the suite is approximately ten minutes. This collection is dedicated to the wind orchestra Corpo Filarmonico G. Donizetti of Corbetta (Milan), and to its conductor Davide Casafina, that in May 2024 gave the first performance of the first volume of Lyric Pieces.

Penetrating wisdom. Difference between peace and liberation. You can have peace and injustice. You can have peace and slavery. So peace is not the answer. Liberation, equality and Justice is the bench mark. https://lnkd.in/ep_fqTp2

Interesting short study on threats and violence experienced by artists in their practice in Nordic countries. Based on surveys of members of eight arts organisations in Denmark, Norway, Iceland and Sweden and carried out by the Swedish Agency for Cultural Policy Analysis Myndigheten för kulturanalys published in November 2024. The original Swedish text easily converts to English and presumably other languages. Key points: ✅ Up to 60% of artists surveyed had experienced threats and violence, of which up to 25% occurred in the past 12 months ✅ Stage performers are at greatest risk of threat ✅ While some artists who had experienced threats and violence have stepped back from creativity as a result, others have seen their determination to combat censorship increased ✅ There is a need for continued monitoring and better understanding of the extent and nature of artistic freedom.
