    Imagining Homeland: Identity and Repertories of a Greek Labour-immigrant Musician in Germany

    Migration has always played an important and determinative role in the formation of the Greek life-cycle, since the existence of a Greek Diaspora originates back to the institution of the Greek nation. However, whether the migration phenomenon represents a typical and integral part of the Greek cultural tradition or mentality, or appears as a forced consequence of specific economic or political circumstances, it should be pointed out that it has proved to be a transformative factor for the lives of people involved in it. The fate of "metanastes" (immigrants) and the life in "xenitia" (foreign host land) appear to be a very common and prominent topic elaborated in the poetic texts of the Greek "dimotika tragoudia" (traditional songs) and "laika tragoudia" (folk-popular songs). Through these repertoires, music reveals its power in conveying and symbolically communicating and expressing public notions, feelings and cultural messages that acquire a particular significance for immigrant communities. Furthermore, diasporic music—along with dance—constitutes one of the basic components of the immigrant's cultural heritage, representing: an expressive way of maintaining cultural identity; a fixed, however metaphorical, conjunctional link between the mother country and the host land; and, a fundamental context through which the migratory community identifies or reconstitutes itself in relation to the majority and other surrounding groups. The author uses fieldwork from a year spent amongst Greek immigrant communities in the Stuttgart region of Germany to address and reflect on issues around the role of music in identity construction and the way in which this connects with processes of integration, assimilation and transnationalism. Specifically, the paper explores the multiple identities and repertories of a Greek musician in Germany, by focusing on several aspects of the musician's life-portrait and providing both emic and etic interpretations. This single case study is used to highlight broader relations between migration, settlement and minority-majority identity dynamics. URN: urn:nbn:de:0114-fqs060310

    O gesto e a crença em Romarias, de António Corrêa d'Oliveira

    Refletindo marcantes vivências pessoais do autor, mas também vetores fundamentais do seu contexto sociopolítico e estético-cultural, a obra literária de António Corrêa d'Oliveira, quase exclusivamente lírica, combina figurações do espaço campestre, da esfera doméstico-familiar e do ideário cristão. Sobremaneira na temática religiosa, anunciada em numerosos títulos da sua produção poética, se vislumbra a indagação metafísica e a meditação teológica do autor beirão, que fez suceder à inicial visão sentimentalista do cristianismo, a cosmovisão panteísta, para subsequentemente retomar a mundividência cristã. Assume, por conseguinte, pertinência o estudo da dimensão religiosa na obra de Corrêa d'Oliveira, sobretudo, quando, como no poema Romarias, se entretecem gestos de visão panteísta e crença teísta.Reflecting António Corrêa d'Oliveira's personal experience, but also the fundamental vectors of his sociopolitical and aesthetic-cultural context, the author's literary work combines images of rural life, the family sphere, patriotic ideals, and religious belief. Especially concerning the religious theme (which is announced in numerous titles of his poetic work), one can glimpse aspects of Oliveira's metaphysical inquiry and his theological meditation: the author originally rejected his initial sentimentalist vision of Christianity in favour of a pantheistic world view, only later to return to Christian orthodoxy. An interesting example of Oliveira's paradigm's shift is to be found in the poem Romarias, which combines pantheistic and theistic thought

    Portugal sob lente alemã: Maria und Eusébio, de Michael Longerich

    Apetrechado com bagagem académica recolhida nas áreas de História, Ciências Políticas e Germanística, Michael Longerich parte em viagem dialógica, para captar matizes político-económicos e socioculturais de um país europeu em rota colonial e trajetória pós-colonial. Tomando uma figura de vulgaríssimo nome feminino, no espaço lusófono das décadas de 1960 e seguintes, e uma figura masculina fulgurante na ribalta futebolística internacional, que inesperadamente travam conhecimento numa cabine de avião, o autor, nascido na Alemanha e residente na Dinamarca, desvela, em tessitura romanesca, linhas e entrelinhas de uma sociedade urbana espartilhada pela ideologia salazarista e libertada pelo golpe revolucionário. As perguntas prováveis do leitor, ao virar a capa do romance, rumo à página de rosto da obra: que traços de realidade e fios de imaginação se entrelaçam na imagem de Portugal rececionada pelo escritor alemão à distância das décadas, dos quilómetros e da língua portuguesa? Que propósito autoral juntou, já no título da obra, figura anónima a individualidade de craveira internacional?Having studied History, Political Sciences and German Studies, Michael Longerich sets out on a dialogic journey, to capture political, economic, social and cultural nuances of an European country on a colonial route and post-colonial trajectory. Approaching a character with a common female name in the Portuguese-speaking world of the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s and an international football star, the author of Maria und Eusébio, born in Germany and residing in Denmark, reveals, in a novelistic text, aspects of an urban society in and after Estado Novo. Two main questions, when we turn to the opening page of the novel: what traces of reality and threads of imagination are intertwined in the image of Portugal presented by a German writer at a distance of decades, miles and the Portuguese language? What authorial purpose has approached - from the title of the book on - an anonymous character to a football star

    Seit der Staatsbildung Griechenlands und der damit verbundenen Konstituierung einer griechischen Diaspora nimmt die Migration im griechischen Lebenszyklus eine entscheidende Rolle ein. Unabhängig davon, ob das Migrationsphänomen einen typischen und integralen Bestandteil griechischer Kulturtradition oder Mentalität darstellt oder ob es als erzwungene Folge spezifischer wirtschaftlicher und politischer Umstände anzusehen ist – es bedeutet immer einen Faktor des Wandels im Leben von Menschen, die davon betroffen sind. Das Los der "metanastes" (Zuwanderer) und das Leben in "xenitia" (dem Aufnahmeland) konstituiert ein verbreitetes und (wohl) bekanntes Thema lyrischer Texte traditioneller griechischer Lieder ("dimotika tragoudia") und volkstümlicher Weisen ("laika tragoudia"). In diesen Repertoires enthüllt die Musik ihre ganze Kraft der symbolischen Kommunikation und Übermittlung; in ihr drücken sich geteilte Vorstellungen, gemeinsame Gefühle und kulturelle Botschaften aus, die für Zuwanderergruppen eine besondere Bedeutung annehmen. Diasporamusik ist – zusammen mit Tänzen – ein Grundbestandteil des kulturellen Kapitals von Immigrant(inn)en. Sie dient der Aufrechterhaltung von kultureller Identität und bildet eine fixe, wenn auch metaphorische Verbindung zwischen dem Herkunfts- und dem Aufnahmeland. Und sie schafft einen Kontext fundamentaler Bedeutungen, durch den sich Zuwanderergruppen als solche identifizieren oder sich in Relation zur Mehrheit bzw. zu anderen Gruppen in ihrer Umgebung rekonstruieren können. Nach dem ersten Jahr meiner Feldforschung unter griechischen Zuwanderergruppen in der Umgebung von Stuttgart möchte ich mit diesem Beitrag auf die Rolle der Musik in der Identitätsbildung eingehen, die von Prozessen des Wandels begleitet ist, wie sie sich durch Phänomene der Integration, Assimilation oder Transkulturation konstituieren. Hierzu werden die vielfältigen Identitäten und Repertoires eines griechischen Musikers in Deutschland im Zusammenhang mit einigen Aspekten seines Lebensportraits genauer betrachtet und sowohl emisch als auch etisch interpretiert.Migration has always played an important and determinative role in the formation of the Greek life-cycle, since the existence of a Greek Diaspora originates back to the institution of the Greek nation.

Sin embargo, mientras que el fenómeno migratorio representa una parte típica e íntegra de la tradición o mentalidad cultural griega, o aparece como una consecuencia forzosa de circunstancias económicas o políticas especialmente difíciles, ha de señalarse que ha logrado ser un factor de transformación de las vidas de quienes se han visto envueltos en él. El destino de "metanastes" (inmigrantes) y la vida en "xenitia" (el país extranjero) parece ser un tema muy común y prominente elaborado en los textos poéticos de las "dimotika tragoudia" (canciones tradicionales) griegas así como de las "laika tragoudia" (canciones populares).

Las músicas de la diáspora – y las danzas – constituyen, además, uno de los componentes básicos del bagaje cultural de los inmigrantes: una manera expresiva de mantener sus identidades culturales, un lazo fijo, aunque metafórico, entre la "madre patria" y la tierra de inmigración, y un contexto fundamental mediante el cual la comunidad inmigrada se identifica o se reconstituye en relación con el grupo mayoritario o con otros grupos. Durante mi primer año de trabajo de campo en las comunidades de inmigrantes griegos de la región de Stuttgart (Alemania), empecé a concentrarme en ciertos temas relacionados con el papel de la música en la construcción de identidades dentro del marco de procesos dinámicos de cambio, como los fenómenos de integración, asimilación o transculturación. Así, este artículo explora las identidades múltiples y los repertorios de un músico griego en Alemania, centrándose en algunos aspectos del relato de vida de dicho músico y proporcionando interpretaciones emic y etic
