CALL FOR PAPERS
"CONFERENCE ON ZEIBEKIKO AND ZEYBEK DANCE"
School of Oriental and African Studies [SOAS], London
Friday 29 June to Sunday 1 July 2007
Zeibekiko dance is a fruitful terrain for analysis of intercultural
exchange, dance typology, Greek-Turkish relations, Islamic culture,
gender issues, and musical analysis in the area of mode and rhythm.
Nominally a male solo dance, this form of dance has its immediate
origins among the Zeybek warriors of Anatolia. It came to Greece - in part
with the post-1923 population exchanges following on the Treaty of
Lausanne. Here it has become naturalised into a Greek dance. And now it
re-exports to Turkey as Greek dance.
This London-based conference on Zeibekiko and Zeybek Dance will
consolidate several years of activity of the Institute of Rebetology and
the annual Hydra Rebetiko Conference. It will contribute further to the
construction of a documentary archive.
The conference will be held at SOAS over the weekend of 29 June to 1
July 2007.
Researchers, musicians and dancers have been invited from Greece and
Turkey.
In addition to conference and workshop sessions, there will also be a
SATURDAY NIGHT CONCERT at SOAS on the night of 30 June.
An initial panel of speakers and performers has been established. These
