“…Negative experiences and memories of negative events may turn into positive feelings and empowering strength, a function Kurdish music mentioned by the interviewees shares with musical expressions of many other cultures (see, e.g., Daynes 2010: 69ff., Güran 2014Nakamura 2014;Pripp & Kamara 2010;Regis 1999). We have also seen how music may serve as a means to understand and relate to those negative experiences that one's close relatives or friends may not be able to re-…”

This article takes its point of departure in Maurice Halbwachs' notion of collective memory, adding the distinction made by Jan Assmann between communicative and cultural memory, and Alfred Schütz's notion of communication, understood here as the sonorous communication of bodily affect. By combining and cross-fertilizing the concept of memory with that of affective experience, our aim is to take a new and productive perspective on music's role as and in cultural memory as well as the crucial role played by affect attunement. As examples, we use interviews and observations from an on-going research project on the role of music in ethnically-based associations in Sweden. In addition, we show how music often transgresses the categorical distinctions of collective memory. The main questions we ask are a) to the extent that there is a difference between music serving as a means for and as content of collective memory (what the memory is "about"), how can we account for and explain this difference? and b) how does verbally-narrated content relate to the sound of music when it comes to collective memory?

“…It has been a significant site for the construction of Afro-Creole identity and musical traditions. Second-line parades, also known as jazz funerals, are prevalent in this neighborhood and can be found winding through the streets on any given weekend from mid-August through March (Regis, 1999). There are also a number of small bars and clubs in the neighborhood that have nurtured local jazz musicians who have gone on to achieve global fame.…”

“…The self-determination described by Salaam has withstood generations of change, such as the destructive urban renewal for Armstrong Park and I-10. Second lining is often appropriated for commodification by the city's elite and tourism industry, through iconism and de-contextualized representations, without acknowledging the basis of the traditions (Regis, 1999). For instance, parades are staged for conventions in the Central Business District and French Quarter.…”

“They want to live in the Tremé, but they want it for their ways of living”: gentrification and neighborhood practice in Tremé, New Orleans

In this study, I deploy an ethnographic approach to analyze the detrimental effects of gentrification on longstanding residents in New Orleans' Tremé neighborhood. I focus on conflicts between long-established residents and gentrifiers over the use of neighborhood space on a day-to-day basis as a means for examining the consequent changes in neighborhood life. As their neighborhood gentrifies, long-term residents of Tremé must contend with greater policing, the erosion of place-based knowledge, practices, and cultural traditions, the loss of social networks, and the closure of vital neighborhood institutions. These changes in neighborhood life provide a starting point from which to begin to understand the broader effects (beyond displacement) that longstanding residents experience as a result of gentrification.

Although the use of planned events for achieving community development has received academic attention from different disciplines, the findings of these literatures are not systematically used towards developing a common understanding aimed at fostering their social utility. The challenge then is to study from an integrated inter-disciplinary perspective how the social value of events can be fostered and leveraged for community development. In addressing this challenge, the purpose of this conceptual paper is to shed light on the multi-layered processes that foster the social utility of events. To this end, the theoretical tenets of social leverage, event dramaturgy and social capital are employed and integrated. On this basis, a conceptual framework linking event processes and outcomes is proposed aimed to guide future inter-disciplinary research towards strategically incorporating events in community development. This line of research can eventually help create synergies between different event genres and implement joint social leveraging strategies, hence, fostering and magnifying their overall social utility for host communities.
