The Life and Music of Emahoy Tsege-Mariam Gebru
No full text358 pagesSupplemental file(s) description: "Quo Vadis," by Emahoy Tsege-Mariam Gebru, performed by the author, 2024, "Quo Vadis," by Emahoy Tsege-Mariam Gebru, performed by the author, 2022, "Quo Vadis," by Emahoy Tsege-Mariam Gebru, performed by the author, 2021, "Grande Valzer Improvisata," by Emahoy Tsege-Mariam Gebru, performed by the author, 2023.Emahoy Tsege-Mariam Gebru (1923-2023) was an Ethiopian composer, pianist, and nun. Despite international acclaim, a devoted cult following, and widespread media influence and coverage, the absence of critical discourse about Emahoy Tsege-Mariam has maintained about her an aura of exotic mystery. In redress, this dissertation establishes a critical (and culturally contextualized) biography, stages a stylistic analysis, discusses challenges of musical interpretation, and catalogs her output. Drawing from a wide range of archival, historical, and music-theoretical sources, as well as interviews and practical fieldwork, this comprehensive study reconfigures Emahoy Tsege-Mariam as a cosmopolitan, modernist, and concretely historical figure, out of the realm of legend

Performing 'The Tragedy of Mariam' and Constructing Stage History
No full textSince the rediscovery of Elizabeth Cary’s drama, The Tragedy of Mariam, the play and its author have generated a veritable critical industry. Yet little has been written about performance, a lacuna explained by a reluctance to think about Mariam as a theatrical creation. This article challenges the current consensus by arguing for the play’s theatrical imprint and by analysing two 2013 performances – a site-specific production at Cary’s birthplace, and a production by the Lazarus Theatre Company. Throughout, Mariam is engaged with in terms of casting, costume, lighting, set and movement, issues that have mostly been bypassed in Cary studies. This article is 7084 words

Experiencing the armed struggle : the Soweto generation and after
No full textIncludes bibliographical references (p. 354-369).This study explores the experiences of the rank-and-file soldiers of Umkhonto we Sizwe and the Azanian People's Liberation Anny. Extensive interviews by the author and other researchers reveal the voices of the soldiers themselves. The African National Congress and Pan African Congress archives at the University of the Western Cape and the University of Fort Hare supplement and verify these oral testimonies, as do some published sources. Most previously published materials about the armed struggle against apartheid have already focused on diplomacy, strategy and tactics, operations, leadership, and human rights abuses to the neglect of the soldiers' actual experiences. This study complements these with significant new oral history materials from the Soweto generation of soldiers and their successors. When dealing with MK, many authors have documented issues of the camp structure in Angola, and operations inside South Africa, so much of this detail is only addressed briefly, leaving space to explore the soldiers' experiences. In the case of APLA, very little has been written on its history, and more detail is provided on these subjects. This study therefore deals with the soldiers' politicisation and motivation for joining the armed struggle, their experiences in leaving South Africa and training in exile, the crises in exile which limited their effectiveness for a time, their return to fight in South Africa, and their difficulties in the "new" South Africa. These materials reveal that vast problems remain facing these veterans of the struggle against apartheid, and that they have the potential, if properly supported and employed, to contribute substantially to the development of present day South Africa. Conversely, if their neglect continues, they also have the potential to bring vast harm to the country. Further use of the investigative tools of oral history, especially if extended to the former soldiers' vernacular languages, is necessary to augment the history of South Africa, and these soldiers' contributions

The tragedy of Mariam, the fair queen of Jewry
No full textThe Tragedy of Mariam (1613) is the first original play by a woman to be published in England, and its author is the first English woman writer to be memorialized in a biography, which is included with this edition of the play. Mariam is a distinctive example of Renaissance drama that serves the desire of today's readers and scholars to know not merely how women were represented in the early modern period but also how they themselves perceived their own condition.With this textually emended and fully annotated edition, the play will now be accessible to all readers. The accompanying biography of Cary further enriches our knowledge of both domestic and religious conflicts in the seventeenth century
