Based on field research conducted in Serbia and Türkiye since 2008, morphological partnerships or dissociations in traditional dances will be identified. Our sources mainly come from the limited information acquired through samples from the Sandžak region in Serbia and from the migrant Sandžak Bosniaks living in the cities of Istanbul, Izmir and Bursa in Türkiye. In particular, the dance structure of the people who have migrated to Türkiye from Serbia in the last 50 years will be mentioned. In addition, the traditional dance structures of the Muslim people who live in Serbia’s Sandžak region (today in Serbia’s Raška District) will be examined.","PeriodicalId":505212,"journal":{"name":"Conservatorium / Konservatoryum","volume":"38 22","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139196886","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
{"title":"The Vocal-Instrumental Dance Form Gara: Vital Manifestation of Dance Genre Kolo u Tri within the Wedding Ritual in Serbia","authors":"Katarina Nıkolıć","doi":"10.26650/cons2023-1245756","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.26650/cons2023-1245756","url":null,"abstract":"Kolo u tri is a dance genre characterized by a lateral symmetric eight-measure dance pattern movement and its four-measure phrase in the dichotomous organization. The appearance of this genre is recognized through numerous names, melodies, and sometimes specific kinetic contents (the most famous are moravac, užičko kolo, Žikino kolo ). One of the manifestations of the dance genre Kolo u tri is also a vocal-instrumental dance form – gara (pl.: gare). Gara includes simultaneous singing of improvisatory lyrics by the singer, instrumental accompaniment by an orchestra, and kinetic performance of an eight-measure dance pattern which are standard features that belong to the genre Kolo u tri. Based on empirical information documented at the wedding ritual in the village Stajićevo (Banat area, North Serbia) in 2016, this paper will illustrate and define the essential structural-formal features from a dance perspective. Moreover, the paper will do a poetic and musical analysis to show all characteristics of this syncretic form composed of words, music, and movements.","PeriodicalId":505212,"journal":{"name":"Conservatorium / Konservatoryum","volume":"88 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139202816","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nowadays, these communities are specific because of their atypical migration direction, from Serbia and former Yugoslavia – toward the East. They cherish their traditions through choirs, and nostalgically remember their homeland through two types of urban folk music related to Serbia (and former Yugoslavia) – sevdalinka (which evokes their Ottoman ancestry) and novokomponovana narodna muzika (‘newly-composed folk music’, which evokes their Yugoslav reality from the time of their youth). The article examines the role of these popular folk music practices, their potential in safeguarding the culture of origin (especially because of the threatening oblivion of the language), as well as the potential for social cohesion in choral singing.","PeriodicalId":505212,"journal":{"name":"Conservatorium / Konservatoryum","volume":" 62","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139207326","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In May 2022, field research was carried out in two Bosniak associations in Türkiye’s metropolis of Istanbul with the aim of determining the dance and music repertoire practiced by the members of these associations. The research collects basic information about the aforementioned community in relation to the interpretations of the (re)creation of the Bosniak ethnic identity in Türkiye. In a broader sense, this process should be understood in light of the complex historical, sociocultural, and sociopolitical relations between the country regions of Türkiye and the Balkans.
