Abstract
ABSTRACT The musical landscapes of cities largely reflect and at the same time determine the cultural identity of the townspeople. In this research, we defined the influential role of the bandura ensemble ‘Charivnytsy’ in framing the city’s cultural space. Their national repertoire includes pieces by local composers, which create the unique musical landscape of Dnipro. This musical landscape reflects both the national and regional identity of the Dnipro’s townsfolk. The regular presence of the bandura ensemble music in the cultural space of Dnipro forms a sense of belonging to the Ukrainian nation and regional community among the residents of the region.
期刊介绍:
National Identities explores the formation and expression of national identity from antiquity to the present day. It examines the role in forging identity of cultural (language, architecture, music, gender, religion, the media, sport, encounters with "the other" etc.) and political (state forms, wars, boundaries) factors, by examining how these have been shaped and changed over time. The historical significance of "nation"in political and cultural terms is considered in relationship to other important and in some cases countervailing forms of identity such as religion, region, tribe or class. The focus is on identity, rather than on contingent political forms that may express it. The journal is not prescriptive or proscriptive in its approach.
