>Jewish diasporas are normally seen as emanating outward from ancient and
>modern Israel.  But Jewish culture has taken root and developed within
>other environments from which new diasporas have spread elsewhere,
>including a return to Israel.
>
>Papers addressing issues of change, under the following broad categories,
>are invited for consideration:
>
>1.      Classical music traditions:  is there a definable Jewish identity?
>2.      Folk music and dance traditions:  the absorption of local influences
>        into Jewish music and the promotion of regional styles to a wider or
>        international audience.
>3.      Liturgical music traditions:  contacts with other religions; the
extent
>        to which a separate Jewish identity has been maintained, and the
>extent
>        to which such contacts have led to musical inter-influence.
>4.      Issues of gender:  the place of men's and women's music in Jewish
life;
>        roles and modes of expression.
>
>If you would like to present a 20-minute paper, please reply as soon as
>possible and send an abstract of 200 words to arrive no later than 30
