"Ringing in a New Year: Balkansky's Kuker Music as Bellwether for a Bulgarian Spring" a Lecture by Donna A. Buchanan
Thursday, March 3, 2016
Franke Institute for the Humanities
1100 East 57th Street
Since 2009, the Bulgarian multimedia project "Balkansky," a collaboration between graphic designer-photographer Ivo Hristov and graphic artist-composer Ivan Shopov, has released two concept albums of electronic dance music, Kuker (2009) and Orenda (2012), on the independent recording label Kuker Music, with accompanying music videos and artwork. As their titles suggest, both albums draw extensively upon nature worship, Christianity, and other belief systems, particularly apropos the mid-winter and springtide Bulgarian mummers calledkukeri or survakari and the bells that are their sonic spiritual weapons. Drawing upon ethnomusicological fieldwork conducted with mummers, artists, bellmakers, and musicians between 2008 and 2013, Prof. Buchanan's paper explores how Balkansky has cultivated and artistically repackaged key symbols and imagery of older calendrical customs and agrarian rites, communicating them back to the Bulgarian public in a contemporary popular culture format that reveals the artists' cosmological manifesto for social change.
Donna A. Buchanan is an Associate Professor of Music and Anthropology at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, where she teaches courses in ethnomusicology and the musical cultures of the Balkans, Russia, and Eurasia. She is the author of Performing Democracy: Bulgarian Music and Musicians in Transition (University of Chicago Press, 2006) and two edited collections: Balkan Popular Music and the Ottoman Ecumene: Music, Image, and Regional Political Discourse (Scarecrow Press, 2007) and Soundscapes from the Americas: Ethnomusicological Essays on the Power, Poetics, and Ontology of Performance (Ashgate, 2014). Her scholarly interests include the implication of music in cosmology, sound ecologies, and relations of social power and identity.
Trans-Siberian summer program 2016
A four or eight-week summer immersion program in Russia with New Hampshire University that takes you from Europe to the Pacific, from Moscow and St. Petersburg to Vladivostok.
Application deadline: March 4, 2016
Studying Russian culture and exploring the thorny issue of national identity in Russia will give you a profound image of the country, its people and its history.
Exploring Moscow, founded in 1147 and now the biggest city in Europe, will give you an overview of recent and ancient history and provide you with an opportunity for an intensive dose of authentic Russian culture. Walk through Red Square, which saw the edicts of Ivan the Terrible, the burning of Moscow by Napoleon, the Communist revolution, all the way to Paul McCartney playing a triumphant "Back In the USSR" to Vladimir Putin and thousands of screaming Russian fans.
Visiting St. Petersburg, known for its canals as Venice of the North, will give you insight into the east-west conflict within the Russian cultural heritage. Visit the Hermitage, one of the largest and oldest museums in the world. Walk along the streets of Dostoyevsky's characters. Explore where and how the Communist Revolution began in 1917.
Taking the Trans Siberian railroad from European Russia, across the Asian continent to the Pacific Ocean will help you understand the Russian preoccupation with size. See the steppes that brought Genghis Khan to Russia, experience the natural beauty of Siberia and Lake Baikal that holds 20% of the world's fresh water. See the small towns, large cities, the taiga, the mountains and the steppes.
Today's Russia is a fascinating blend of a thousand year history with its reinvention as a modern semi-capitalist nation and an almost inexplicable blend of East and West. To quote Winston Churchill " Russia is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma" – Experience this riddle first hand, live with Russian families, ride the trains with them, stay in student hostels, study with Russian scholars and under the guidance of experienced UNH faculty. Be a participant in solving this riddle!

Publix Couponing 101
Are you ready to learn Publix Couponing 101? I am so excited to write about this subject. Publix is by far my favorite grocery store to shop at. I remember when I used to think they were overpriced, but then I realized how wrong I was. Publix is known for their buy one get one free deals, amazing deli and the cute little bag boys who help you with your groceries. It's such a clean and overall delightful place to shop. So let's talk about using our coupons here. That's probably they best part out of everything!
As some people may know, Publix was the best place to coupon because they would double coupons up to $0.50, meaning that a $0.50 off coupon would become $1.00 off. It was an amazing time to be a coupon user. We really were able to get some amazing deals due to this, but unfortunately, this is forever gone. Publix decided to remove double coupons in most states including my state of South Carolina. This change took place in December of 2016. I personally was devastated, and I did start couponing more at Bi-lo, since they still double coupons up to $0.60–I will make a guide for them too.
How To Start Couponing at Publix
Before you start couponing anywhere, you want to familiarize yourself with the coupon policy. In fact, If I were you I would print a copy of the coupon policy so you can have it with you for reference. Sometimes we do run into a cashier who is not aware of their policy. You can view the policy here.
Once you are familiar with the policy you will have a much more relaxed experience couponing at Publix. I would like to go over the basics of the policy just to make sure we all understand. I know it can be kind of confusing for new users.
Types of Coupons you can use
- Manufacturer coupons- These come in a variety. You can use paper coupons you cut out of your Sunday paper coupon insert, magazines, flyers or blinky coupon machines at stores. These may also be coupons that you have found online to print. Internet printables are considered manufacturer coupons as well as digital coupons.
- Store Coupons- Any Publix coupon you find in their store flyers are considered "store" coupons. You can actually stack these coupons with a manufacturer.
- Competitor Coupons- These are store coupons from other stores that Publix may compete with. For example my Publix is right next door to a Target, so they accept Target store coupons as their own store coupon.
- Digital Coupons-These are coupons found on the Publix website here. In order to use these, you will need to create a free account and you will enter your phone number into the key pad at your local Publix to use your digital coupons. These are considered manufacturer coupons. So if you have a paper coupon for $1.00 off Raid, and you have a $0.50 off digital coupon for $0.50 off raid, you probably should use your paper coupons, because it will take the digital coupon first and then you won't be able to use your paper coupon.
Tips for Couponing at Publix
- Always grab all of the coupon flyers at the front of the store. This is where you will find your store coupons. Save the most money using these coupons with your manufacturer coupons.
- We can only use 2 coupons per item
- We can only use 8 coupons for 8 of the same item. For example if you have 10 coupons that save $0.10 off 1 Yoplait Yogurt, then you will only be able to use 8. So 2 will go to waste unless you have a non household friend buy those last 2 for you. The rule is 8 like coupons per day for the same item per household.
- You can't use coupons that give a percent off. So no 50% off coupons. Sorry folks.
- You can use money off coupons. So if you have a coupon that gives you $20 off your entire order, then you can use that. Once per day, per household.
- Always make your list before you get to the store. I will explain that in a few.
- If you have coupons for an item that is not available, GET A RAINCHECK! I can't tell people this enough. Also explain that you have a coupon to use for that item and want to make sure you will be able to still use that coupon. They will typically write that on the raincheck too, so even if your coupon expired the day before they get an item in, you will still be able to use it.
- Ask your service desk for a list of local competitors so you are familiar with the stores you can use store coupons from.
- You can use Ibotta, Checkout51 and savingstar deposits at Publix. These will stack with all items. The store doesn't even know you are using them. I will talk about this later as well.
How you can prepare for your Publix shopping trip?
If you are in need of a few things from your local Publix, you should go prepared. This means with coupons and a list. To find out what items are on sale, you can check out the weekly ad here. You will also be able to see the store coupon flyers as well. An easy way to find coupons to match your sale items is to use a coupon database. Here you will search for the brand and item. Then you will be shown a list of coupons. You will be able to match coupons much easier there. Google "coupon database" for the best sources for coupon databases. You can also use the one I have implemented on the site as well. My coupon database.
I hope that some of these tips have helped you understand how Publix Couponing works. As always if you have any quaestions about it, please feel free to contact me. I will get back to you as soon as possible!

Boxing Day has brought – for some bizarre and inexplicable reason – to my memory songs by the Beautiful South and Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbott. Heaton manages to write poetically of a culture that has become plastic – artificially coloured water instead of a full-bodied red wine.
The world won't end in darkness, it'll end in family fun – with Coca Cola clouds behind a Big Mac sun.
A bit pessimistic? Or a reasonable judgement on a culture that allows itself to be anaesthetised by 'stuff' and sentimentality to the extent that reality (as most people on the planet experience it) is avoided?
Today is St Stephen's Day in the Christian calendar. Stephen was the first Christian martyr and his story is told in Acts chapters 6 and 7. He got stoned for telling an unpopular narrative of God, Jesus and the world. He didn't go looking for death, but he didn't duck it when it came.
What matters here is simply that Stephen saw life in the context of eternity. Not everlasting life (in terms of time and years), but life in all its depth and quality – life that can be given up because death does not have the final word: that belongs to the God of resurrection who spoke life into being ("Let there be…") in the first place and yet enters into the heart of death, loss and horror without a hint of romanticism.
It used to bother me that Christmas Day was followed by this day of martyrdom – a phenomenon that seemed utterly remote as a possibility in the placid days of my youth. Today, however, Christians are being slaughtered in deliberate persecution across the globe. Martyrdom has become a very modern practice – a very inconvenient one for western liberal sensibilities, according to which religion was to be seen only as some anodyne analgesic for helping feeble people limp through life.
The baby of Bethlehem would grow into the man of Calvary and the empty tomb. We move in one day from the dependent baby (Jesus) to the man (Stephen) who had to choose and take responsibility for his choice. One day the baby would be the man who had to choose – and who would make it clear that his followers would face the same choices. For many Christians today the choice is neither notional nor merely 'spiritual'; it is real, imminent and immensely costly.
I am not sure we have begun to take on board the enormity of this costly discipleship. But, the Christian calendar – by accident or design – confronts us not only with a biblical figure, but with the challenge to our own response to mortality and eternity.

EDMOND, a portrait of Baudoin
A film documentary by Laetitia Carton about Baudoin, a major figure in contemporary comic-strip art.
About the project
A film documentary about Baudoin, a major figure in contemporary comic-strip art.
The film is now playing in theatres in France !
If you want to organize a screening or for any questions regarding distribution of the film, you can contact Olivier Charvet, [email protected]
To view the trailer with english subtitles
To download the press kit (in french) and the poster
When Baudoin's first albums appeared in the early 1980s, the publishing world was somewhat baffled. Who was this accountant-turned-comic-strip-artist who had come to disrupt the tranquil course of the Franco-Belgian comic-strip world, still in thrall to the conventions of the clearly drawn outline?
In justification of the refusal to award him any prestigious prizes, a publisher once admitted to him: "If you had received an award, it would have killed off the comic strip album such as we know it today. You, Baudoin, are not making comic-strip albums, you're creating art, poetry. We're not interested in that."
Thirty years and fifty books later, Baudoin has been unanimously recognized as one of the pioneers of contemporary comic book art.
Through his drawings, which border on painting, an autobiographical style that was quite new to France, a tremendous formal independence and the existential questions that run through his work, he has helped liberate the comic-strip from its constraints, paving the way for subsequent generations of auteurs.
I met Edmond Baudoin seven years ago, through one of those objective chance encounters that life sometimes offers up. I showed him my first short film, D'un chagrin, j'ai fait un repos. He told me if he made films, this was the kind of film he would like to make. The idea of making a film one day came quite naturally.
Time passed. As in Passe le temps. Two years ago, I wrote to him:
- "Do you remember we promised to make a film together? You don't want me to make a portrait of you? You don't want to be my 'model'? I don't know what it might look like in the end, but let's explore the idea together..."
He laughed, and said yes.
"Portrait occupy a significant position in what people call "my work ": Couma aco, Eloge de la poussière, Piero… Maybe it's just a way of doing nothing but self-portraits... Today I saw footage from Laetitia's film, which is now in the editing stage. And standing back a little, removing myself as it were, I was touched by what I saw, much as I was at what she showed me seven years ago.
What she's trying to say, what she's seeking, her particular music, is similar to the path I've taken, and to the stumbling blocks along the way. When creating a portrait, she looks inside herself to find the other. I like that. Having been "her model" during the year she was filming also turned out to be another kind of journey, another way of traveling.
Viewing the footage, I realize that my life - my travels, my children, my love affairs, my books, my questions... do indeed supply the basis on which to make a film."
Edmond Baudoin
I filmed Edmond for over a year. He took me to Villars-sur-Var, the village in the Alps, where he spent his childhood and adolescence, to "his" Chemin-de-St-Jean" and to his river. He said of these places: "They made me." I also went with him to Nice, where he was born, and to his studio in Paris when he was working on his next book, about Salvador Dali. I filmed him as he spent his days, painting, drawing, walking, dancing.
For me, Baudoin is a giver: he gave me leave to follow him on his travels: signing books at festivals, explaining how he draws at seminars, dancing with a brush at performances with musicians and dancers, recounting his life to pupils and high-school students in the classroom, offering men, women and children portraits of themselves at parties. Moments in which, I sensed, he takes great pleasure in passing something on. But passing on what?
During the filming, I was looking for something fundamental. I find it difficult to put into words. Is that what he calls helplessness? I'd express it as something to do with humanity, life in its purest state. This man has given a precious gift to the comic-strip world, the gift of freedom. This freedom that he won by tearing himself away from his dreary career as a chief accountant in a firm, by choosing to become and to remain what Jacques Samson has described as:"A man freed from all restraint, immersed in the disconcerting euphoria of his time for living."
Where are we now? From short to feature film!
The film editing began in parallel with the filming, and over the course of assembling sequences, new ideas developed apace. I took up the camera again, as did Edmond his brush or pencil, to start drawing and writing again for the film.
The film is now at the editing stage, and along with my producers, we feel we have the basis for a fine film, one that will be feature-length rather than the short film we initially envisaged.
For his part, Baudoin had a book, long on the back burner, that provided a title for our film. We started dreaming of a joint release: the film in cinemas and the album in bookstores, or even putting out a collectable item, a book/DVD boxed set.
We have planned to finish the film in 2014 and to show it to film festival programmers and distributors with a view to a theatrical release in 2015.
What are the funds for?
The decision to produce the film was made in July 2011, once enough public funding had been raised for a short or medium-length documentary film (CNC, Région Limousin, Région Paca), produced under the economic constraints of a short film, with a tight budget and a great deal of good will contributions, with the idea of launching the film on the film festival circuit.
The funding raised for the film as a short enabled us to start production and embark on an initial edit; we are now seeking financing to complete the film as a theatrical feature.
The financing via Ulule will be used to pay part of the additional editing costs (salaries and other costs), new footage and an original musical score.
We set ourselves a target of raising a minimum budget of €10,000, but really need twice that amount, so please, don't hesitate to help us exceed that target!
Other partners will be solicited subsequently, to complete the film's post-production process and the distribution, but we do need to be able to present a completed film. The support of Ulule's contributors is what will enable us to achieve this!
Do not hesitate to talk about it to those you know, to circulate information, or contact us for more information via Ulule, our site, by email or telephone, we will be delighted to respond to your questions and suggestions.Join us on the facebook film page !
About the project owner
Laetitia Carton
I was born in 1974 in Vichy. I "did Fine Arts" at Clermont-Ferrand. From the time I graduated, I exhibited at contemporary art venues (at the Abbey St André in Meymac, in St Fons, in Creux de l'Enfer, Thiers, the Espace d'Art Contemporain in Paris, at Lyon's Musée d'Art Contemporain, etc.). I then did post-graduate studies at the School of Fine Arts in Lyon. It was there, with Jean Pierre Rhem, my "tutor," that I encountered the art/auteur documentary. I subsequently decided to embark along that road, and I studied for a MA in documentary direction at Lussas.
My graduation film, D'un chagrin j'ai fait un repos (which can be seen at: film-documentaire.fr) was screened extensively, and enabled me to travel as far as Cuba, where the film won a prize.
In 2009 I made my first 90' film for television, La pieuvre, about a genetic neurodegenerative disease, Huntington's, that is decimating my family. It was selected for Fipa 2010, by the Leipzig and Tubingen festivals, and at the "A nous de voir" festival in Oullins, it won the Jury prize, the Youth Jury prize and the Audience Award (Jean-Michel Frodon discusses the film on his blog).
In parallel to the film about Baudoin, I m' making a documentary for cinema about the Deaf Community and Sign Language, that I started seven years ago with my deaf friends. I am writing another film about my home town, Vichy, and how it has conveniently recast its recent history. I am currently living and working in Faux-la-Montagne on the MiIlevaches plateau, and, as Baudoin would say, "I enjoy it."
More infos on Baudoin's Web site
Miquéu Montanaro
Miquéu has long been a friend of Edmond Baudoin's, their worlds are very close. When I asked Edmond what musician he'd like to work with, he immediately told me about Miquéu. I filmed them together several times, in performance and during a village fête. Miquéu's accordion, flutes, his rhythms and his voice, recorded live, will feature in the film.
Christophe Monniot
I also asked Christophe Monniot to bring his music to the film. I discovered him some years ago when he was playing with the Campagnie des Musiques at Ouïr. I knew that his "voice," his inspiration, his charm, would be a perfect match for Baudoin and his books.
"When Laetitia talked to me about the film and about Baudoin, I thought :"Someone who loves jazz and Miles Davis can't be all bad! ." So I agreed to do the music!" Christophe Monniot
We produce shorts films, feature-length films and documentaries for cinema and television. Auteur films that we work with as craftsmen, from the initial script to the encounter with an audience. Our choices are above all driven by the character of the filmmaker, and the strength and coherence of their project.
On meeting Laetitia Carton we were taken by the originality of her work, her penchant for making films like mosaics, the importance of the off-screen voice/narration, a need to use 'I' to approach the outside world. Her style doesn't fit the even the most ambitious TV broadcasters' current diktats, and we felt it was essential to develop cinema projects with her.
We thus embarked on a collaboration with Laetitia on the script for a feature-length documentary about Deaf and sign language, "J'avancerai vers toi avec les yeux d'un Sourd" ("I move toward you with the eyes of a deaf person").
When she suggested we produce this film about Baudoin we were won over, right from the start, by her personal approach and by the personality of Edmond Baudoin, whose books we like enormously.
