Abstract

This paper explores the significance of time and memory in the music/dance performances of the Gorale (originally from the Tatra mountain region of Podhale in southern Poland) now living in the greater Toronto area. By considering the relationship between cultural performance and memory, the negotiation and performance of identity within a shifting transnational setting, and the creative potential of expressive culture within this context, the author discusses some of the variety of experiences possible in the negotiation of time and identity through music performance within a diasporic context.
