	JewishEncyclopedia.com - ASHKENAZ (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Modern scholars since Bochart have connected Ashkenaz with Ascanius, which occurs as the name of a Mysian and of a Phrygian prince, and in Homer as the name of a river also; there was likewise a district Ascania inhabited by Phrygians and Mysians; and an Ascanian lake was located in Phrygia and in Bithynia.
		Accordingly, Ashkenaz is said to be the old name of a people who spread through Mysia and Phrygia, and subsequently settled in western Armenia (Ashkhen is an Armenian proper name).
		Assyriologists identify Ashkenaz with a people named Ashguza whose aid was sought by the Mannai when they revolted from Esarhaddon; both were settled near Lake Urumiyeh.

	Ashkenaz 2004: Wonderful stuff, but not a festival of new or Yiddish culture
		The Ashkenaz Salon on "Should we rap in Yiddish?" was successful only in that one panelist, the alleged cultural conservative, said that he had no problem with rap in Yiddish—surely a living language would include modern music forms.
		At this point, use of the word "Ashkenazic" in the festival description reads as "we're not comfortable claiming that we're presenting Jewish culture, so we need another name," which is the silliness that Gottesman was pointing out at that first salon on Yiddish rap.
		But I was for learning a bit about papercutting, one of the very special Ashkenazic artforms that flowered, especially in Poland before the Holocaust, and which has been revived as an artform in recent years along with klezmer and other Yiddish folk arts.

		Ashkenaz is commonly identified with Germany because of the well-known branch of Jewish people defined as "Ashkenazim", whose language, Yiddisch, is of German origin.
		Nevertheless, the Goths acknowledged that peoples of Ashkenaz were living there before them, as the Gothic historian says: "There is a great island situated in the surge of the Northern Ocean, Skandza by name.

	Conference Report-Ashkenaz Theory and Nation
		That is not exactly the case with "Ashkenaz: Theory and Nation," but many of the participants clearly arrived with only a vague sense of the premise on which the conference was based.
		Hearing all the discomfort with the theory of Ashkenaz, which participants voiced in presentations, in responses to papers, and informally outside of the sessions themselves, I recalled a distinguished art historian's defence of one of his many bold readings of the painting and sculptures of Michelangelo.
		"Ashkenaz: Theory and Nation" may not have brought us any closer to determining where, or even whether, to place Ashkenaz on the map, but by attracting a number of talented scholars from numerous points on the map of Europe and North America, it served as a useful forum for an exchange of ideas.

	the KlezmerShack: Ashkenaz 2004: Great music, but still some questions
		Still, these are minor, and I regret if they distract attention from the fact that Ashkenaz is the ONLY mostly-free festival of Jewish music, never mind a festival of this scope and quality, of which I am aware.
		If you remember correctly, this had its world premiere at Ashkenaz 2002, after the Buchbinder era had left since you are so concerned about what has been edgy since then.
		But I will tell you, that the Ashkenaz Foundation has never been stronger, and our work in the community will go on for a very long time, and yes, the Yiddish language will benefit immeasurably from our efforts, both on the edge and right at the heart.

		The word "Ashkenaz" first appears in the genealogy in the Tanakh (Genesis 10) as a son of Gomer and grandson of Japheth.
		It is thought that the name originally applied to the Scythians (Ishkuz), who were called Ashkuza in Assyrian inscriptions, and lake Ascanius and the region Ascania in Anatolia derive their names from this group.
		Ashkenaz in later Hebrew tradition became identified with the peoples of Germany, and in particular to the area along the Rhine where the Alamanni tribe once lived (compare the French and Spanish words Allemagne and Alemania, respectively, for Germany).

		If "Ashkenazic Studies" are to become a recognized academic discipline, these bases will define their parameters.
		It determinately places the Ashkenazic experience as part of the Third World encounter with Western modernity and insists more on the commonalities of the cultures than their signifying differences.
		Yiddish, as the major language of recent Ashkenazic culture, has surely been given a death knell but even in its outrunners, Argentina, South Africa, Australia, Israel, France and Quebec, its metamorphosis is not less the inheritance and continuity of Ashkenaz.
