World Music Festivals and Tourism – A Case Study of Serbia's Guca Trumpet Festival

From its foundation in 1961 until the present day, the Guca trumpet festival has undergone significant transformations. Setting out as a small-scale cultural revival of Serbian brass orchestra tradition held annually in the village of Guca in the Dragacevo region of western Serbia, the festival has evolved over time into a great World Music spectacle. Disputes about the interpretation and representation of the national past and musical heritage have long been induced in public by the unsettled political situation in Serbia and by the festival&#39;s gradual integration into the global music industry and cultural tourism market. In consequence, the festival&#39;s relationship to issues of authenticity, tradition preservation, globalization impact, and representation politics continues to be viewed and discussed through familiar dichotomies. Using the interrelated theoretical models from World Music and cultural tourism studies, this paper aims to explore the reasons for the festival&#39;s prominent status in national cultural policies, as well as the contradictory meanings that it has generated in a variety of discourses.</p

A Taxonomy for Incidents in Communication Systems

This report deals with the construction of a taxonomy of incidents in communication systems and is organised as follows: the first section concerns a survey of existing taxonomies, glossaries or controlled languages for computer security incidents. It starts with a definition of the terms used in this report and a discussion on the use of taxonomies as measurement tools. The survey aims at clarifying the importance of the definition of a common language for exchanging and gathering information on computer security. The second section presents the original ideas for the taxonomy proposed with this report. The main assumption is in the definition of the main functions a communication system should perform and in defining a disruption as the lack of one of these functions. The third section is the actual presentation of the taxonomy. Some examples of classification in this taxonomy of known computer security incidents are added. While the overall aim of this work is at the construction of complete taxonomy for communication systems --- including the telecommunication services --- the examples provided in this section will mainly deal with disruptions occurring in the Internet domain. The fourth section presents the future work to be done for continuing the development of the taxonomy proposed here.JRC.G.6-Security technology assessmen
