“…Every evening they play in front of his house, but not to the satisfaction of European ears. 60 And last but not least, we should mention Joseph Franz Sulzer, who spent a substantial period of time in the Romanian Principalities in the second half of the 18 th century, the one who spoke the most and most pertinently, in our opinion, about the mehterhanes at the courts of the Romanian rulers. Since he was himself a musician, he knew how to analyse and compare Eastern and Western military music, making pertinent comments, one of which has already been referred to above 61 .…”

Alla turca, percussion instruments of a symphony orchestra and the Romanian Principalities are, at first glance, a strange and inappropriate combination of words. Yet, if one goes deeper into the subject, one may easily find a silver thread running through them all, which facilitates the understanding of these combinations of words and especially the reason for their combination. In this case, the culture of mobility is extremely visible and interesting. Alla turca was a cultural phenomenon specific to Western Europe since the 17th century, which was due to the interest shown by Europeans in the oriental culture gradually brought to Europe by the Ottomans. The increasingly powerful Ottoman Empire, its incursions towards the West and frequent military, diplomatic and cultural contacts piqued the Europeans’ interest in the exoticism of the new world with which they came in contact, music being one of the main areas of influence. This is due to Ottoman military music (mehterhane), consisting mainly of percussion musical instruments, which produced extremely loud music accompanying the Ottoman armies on the battlefield and supporting the efforts of the soldiers through its marches. At the same time, the effect of this music on their opponents was the complete opposite, as they were not used to such sonorities and were easily intimidated by it. The effectiveness of Ottoman military music proven on the battlefield and its physical appearance impressed the European monarchs who tried to imitate it in various forms and by various methods and implement it both in their armies and in their ceremonial music, as a symbol of political power, since the mehterhane was also a powerful political symbol in the Ottoman Empire. Starting from here, various European composers, the most important being Mozart, were also influenced by the exotic features of this music and by its novelty and used it in their own creations, at first playing it using Western musical instruments and then gradually adopting in the orchestra instruments specific to mehterhane, the so-called “Turkish drums”, thus developing the symphony orchestra to the form in which it is present today. As far as the Romanian Principalities are concerned, their connection with the elements mentioned above consists precisely in the fact that their geo-political location allowed the contact between the West and the East and the occurrence of alla turca influences, since the mehterhane had been present in the Romanian Principalities since the 15th century and foreign Western travellers crossing these regions listened to it and described it in their memoirs, making it known to the West, its most important promoter being Franz Joseph Sulzer.

The changing dynamics of the accounting profession have been strongly influenced by emerging technologies and the demand for nontraditional metrics and information by stakeholders and regulators. In this article, we perform an exploratory content analysis to examine the role that blockchain technology can play in enhancing sustainability reporting and assurance. The benefits to companies and assurance professionals in using the distributed ledger technology of blockchain are increased trust, transparency, and traceability, which matches stakeholders' demands as it relates to sustainability reporting. This article identifies and analyzes potential and current use cases of blockchain in the United States and Canada to assist accountants and auditors in preparing and reviewing sustainability information. We highlight how augmenting traditional reporting systems with blockchain can overcome problems with sustainability reporting. We discuss implications for practice in detail-finding that blockchain is well-positioned to provide reliable tracking and custodial support as it relates to sustainability information currently being self-reported by many firms, such as greenhouse gas emissions, conflict mineral disclosure, or product provenance, among others. Expanded adoption of blockchains by companies will lead to higher-quality information being included in sustainability reports and allow assurance professionals to verify a wider range of information, potentially leading to uniform standards in the evaluation of sustainability reports.

Analyzing Jane Eyre: Intersectionality and the 21St Century Adaptations

The paper analyzes the gender dimension in Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre, using the theories of intersectionality and feminist film theory by Kimberlé Crenshaw and Laura Mulvey. The theory of intersectionality will be used to study Bertha Mason’s race, who is a character in Jane Eyre-described as the madwoman and the insane first wife of Edward Rochester (the male protagonist of the classic), and finally conclude to find out, whether Bertha’s madness made her locked in the attic, or it had something to do with her Jamaican race. Intersectionality theory was first coined by Kimberlé Crenshaw in 1989, where she stated how multiple forms of inequality combines to create disproportions in society. She wanted to make the thinkers understand that issues like gender discrimination, race, colonial roots are not individual subjects to talk about. They are all combined and none of the issues should be dropped to study a certain issue, specially gender discrimination. The paper further uses two other genres-- movie and series, namely Jane Eyre (2011 film) by Cary Joji Fukunaga, and Jane Eyre (2006 TV series) by Susanna White. The movie and series will be used to connect the 19th century text with the 21st century adaptations. The mise-en-scene of the adaptations will be studied to analyze to what extent where they loyal to the classic. The compare and contrast will also study how the adaptations highlighted Bertha’s race, her colonial roots, and her madness. Finally, the paper will conclude how the Hollywood industry with all its modern lightings and sound, cut down Jane’s bildungsroman journey and highlighted Rochester as modern, and post-feminist father/husband.
