22. Malta's Culture In Flux - Anna Zammit
    malta s culture in Flux. By joining the EU, malta risks being taken overby the European giant that will bulldoze its Mediterranean culture.

    Extractions: Malta's Culture in Flux Negotiating the Mediterranean and the EU Anna Zammit In a referendum held on Saturday, 8 March, 2003, Malta voted in favour of joining the European Union. Of the 270,650 people, or 91% of the eligible voters, who voted, 53.6% were in favour of membership and 46.4% were against. 1.44% of the votes were invalid. In a surprise announcement, Dr. Alfred Sant, the leader of the Opposition Labour Party which campaigned against Malta joining the EU, claimed that the Yes campaign had lost because only 48% of all eligible voters were in favour of membership. The Referendum law approved by both major parties in Parliament six months ago states that the winner is the side that receives the majority of the valid votes cast in the referendum. The issue will probably be resolved once and for all on April 12, 2003, when a general election will be held. The situation is complex because the Yes campaign was supported by Alternattiva Demokratika – The Green Party, which is fielding its own candidates in the forthcoming election and because it is clear that a number of Labour Party supporters were in favour of membership in the EU and a number of supporters of the Conservative Party (Partit Nazzjonalista) were against. (Adrian Grima) The issue of Mediterranean Malta and its prospects of joining the EU gives rise to a number of questions that need to be asked by all those observing this major event in Malta’s contemporary political history. The questions refer to a number of dimensions that are always relevant in the context of social change: mainly culture, economy, the political sphere, as well as every aspect that has an impact on society. The following are some reflections on the concept of culture and its implications for Malta as a Mediterranean island that has applied for and been offered membership of the European Union.

    http://www.focusmm.com/malta/ma_hist1.htm
    
    Extractions: M alta's history was, in a sense, pre-destined for it by its excellent natural harbor and strategic location. The harbor provided a sheltered base for naval fleets while the island itself, located at the crossroads of the Mediterranean, enabled its colonizing powers to exercise control over shipping in this vast and turbulent sea. Hardly surprising, therefore, that Malta has always exerted an irresistible attraction to the would-be military powers of successive epoches. Control over Malta was a pre-requisite to domination of the Mediterranean. For this reason all the various powers that, at one time or other, held sway over the Mediterranean at that time exercised control over Malta. The list of Malta's colonizers is a long one, including the Phoenicians. Carthaginians, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Normans, Castilians, Knights of St. John, the French, and finally, the British. The number of successive colonists is indicative of the important role Malta played in the shaping of European and Mediterranean history. The list of important visitors to the island, from the Apostle Paul to Napoleon, Nelson, Eisenhower, Churchill and Franklin Delano Roosevelt is equally impressive. It is no exaggeration to suggest that Malta's history is a good starting point for a study of the history of the region. I f you want to enjoy Malta, soak up its history. History, in Malta, stares you in the face everywhere you visit on the islands. The good thing is that you will enjoy its captivating intensity.

    Extractions: I n 1530, many hundreds of years after the eolithic period, the Knights of the Order of St. John brought about another epoch of great cultural significance to the island. This is not to say that between the sudden disappearance of the Neolithic culture and the arrival of the Knights nothing happened. Quite the contrary. Many relics and remains bear witness to important historical events in this period. However, no unique or individual culture had originated from the many peoples - the Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans, Arabs, Normans, Castilians - who colonized the island during this prolonged interval. T he history of the Knights of St. John begins in the middle of the 11th century in the Holy Land. The Order's original duties were to care for the sick and wounded Christian pilgrims to the Holy Land and to help the poor. But soon after, their duties expanded. The fight against the "infidels" became of equal or even greater importance. The Knights also became "Soldiers of Christ". They acquired and maintained huge states and castles in the Holy Land and eventually owned a large fleet. W ith the loss of Acre to the Moslems in 1291, however, the fate of the Knights was sealed. They withdrew to Rhodes and acted as a shield against the Turks for two centuries until 1522 when Suleiman the Magnificent ousted the Knights from Rhodes. They needed a new homeland and, in 1530, moved to Malta to where they were given tenure by Emperor Charles V.

    Extractions: Stefy tours Mediterranean culture is dominant in Malta, but nearly 150 years of British rule have left their mark. English is an official language (along with Maltese), and bangers and mash aren't too hard to find. The Catholic Church is the custodian of national traditions, and its churches are the biggest landmarks in most towns and villages. The Maltese spend half the year celebrating their local patron saints, filling the streets with confetti and destroying their teeth with nougat and candy-floss. Although its influence is waning, Catholicism is a real force in most people's daily lives. Divorce and abortion are illegal, although younger generations have been trying to liberalise laws against these. Many linguists trace the origin of Maltese to the Phoenician occupation of the islands. Maltese, a Semitic language, has survived the influence of Romance languages for hundreds of years, though it bears traces of Sicilian, Italian, Spanish, French and English. Among the country's best-known writers are Francis Ebejer and Joseph Attard. Ironically, Malta is probably best known to the world through a book that isn't about Malta, Dashiell Hammett's The Maltese Falcon, the title of which refers to a statuette of mysterious origin. Malta is noted for its fine crafts - particularly its handmade lace, handwoven fabrics, blown glass and silver filigree. Folk traditions in music are very strong, and Malta holds a folksong competition every year.

CULTURE OF MALTA Malta’s strategic setting at the crossroads of the Mediterranean shipping lanes has always played a crucial role in the island’s history. Over the centuries the great Mediterranean powers have fought to dominate the islands, each new arrival leaving its legacy. What you see today is a complex amalgam of ethnic influences. The Arabs introduced citrus trees and the flat-topped houses, and they laid the foundations for the Maltese language. The Aragonese, from central Spain, left their mark in the medieval architecture of Malta’s historic town centers and the enclosed wooden balconies which typify the splendid town houses. Architecture Under the 268-year rule of the Knights of St John, Malta blossomed into a major cultural center. The buildings they put up touched on almost every sphere of human activity, from water distribution to heavy fortifications. By the time the British arrived at the start of the forefront of European culture in terms of its architecture. In turn the British developed the island, for both military and commercial purposes.

    Extractions: ADVERTISING INFORMATION Malta - Culture T he Maltese Islands are a group of small, barren rocks, jutting out of the middle of the dark blue Mediterranean Sea. In these conditions, they would have been relegated to the footnotes of history. Yet, ever since the archipelago was first colonised thousands of years ago, they have never been far from the centre of events and have often played a crucial role in the making of history. Their strategic situation in the centre of the Mediterranean Sea makes up for all the lack of resources that nature endowed the rest of the globe. Malta, the largest island, and her sister islands of Gozo, Comino, Filfla and other very small islands, are strategically placed in the narrow channel joining the eastern and the western basins of the Mediterranean, or if you like, a bridge between Southern Europe and North Africa, or between Western Europe and the Middle East. This had landed the Maltese Islands right in the middle of the most important historic events: the wars between Rome and Carthage, the rise of Islam, the Crusades, the wars between Christians and Moslems, the rise and fall of Napoleon, the rise and fall of the British Empire, the fight for democracy against Fascism and Nazism, the Cold War, the rise of a United Europe and the challenges of the Third Millennium. The Maltese Windmill is in structure and layout similar to that of the Balearic Islands. This association is not surprising, as it was the Majorcan Grandmaster Cottoner who encouraged their construction. The windmill consists of a central tower around which a number of rooms form the rectangular base of the windmill itself. These rooms served as the storage area and the living quarters of the family operating the windmill. The grinding apparatus lies in the upper part of the circular tower.

    Extractions: Valletta - Culture The steps of Valletta reach deep into the hearts of the people and the country. The city was designed on a grid, the streets angled to steer the cool breezes off the Mediterranean. As a safeguard during the medieval war years, each building was made flush with its neighbour. There could be no front yard, and edifices couldn't poke into the street to narrow the passageway. Every house was connected to the ingenious public drainage system. And high up on each street corner, statues were erected to venerate the saints. The Palace of the Grand Masters, completed in 1574, contains portraits of the Grand Masters of the Order and European monarchs, interesting furniture, and other works of art. The Manoel Theatre was originally built as a Court Theatre by Grand Master Manoel de Vilhena in 1731 and is one of the oldest theatres in Europe still in operation. Visit Valletta's Upper Barracca Gardens for a panoramic view of the island's natural harbour! From this vantage point you'll also see the fortified cities of Senglea, Cospicua and Vittoriosa. click to go back
