Silverstein, an <a href=\"https:\/\/communication.northwestern.edu\/faculty\/shayna-silverstein.html\">associate professor<\/a> of performance studies at Northwestern University, will visit Kalamazoo College on Friday, November 1, to discuss the topics in her book, <em>Fraught Balance: The Embodied Politics of Dabke Dance Music in Syria<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At 4:15 p.m. in Dewing Hall, Room 103, Silverstein will talk about dabke, one of Syria&#8217;s most beloved dance music traditions, which is at the center of the country&#8217;s war and the social tensions that preceded conflict. Drawing on almost two decades of ethnographic, archival and digital research, Silverstein\u2019s book shows how dabke dance music embodies the dynamics of gender, class, ethnicity and nationhood in an authoritarian state.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Silverstein, originally from Spokane, Washington, has studied in New Haven, Connecticut, and Chicago; lived in New York City, Washington, D.C., Syria, and Lebanon; and is now permanently based in Chicago. She holds a Ph.D. in ethnomusicology from the University of Chicago and a bachelor\u2019s degree in history from Yale University.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lecture, sponsored by K\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/academic\/programs\/music\/\">Department of Music<\/a>, is free and open to the public.
