Dave Walsh
Musical Theater and American Culture

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThough there have been many histories of the theater and specifically the theatrical musical, none has done quite what this book achieves: it explores how the musical emerged in the late-18th and 19th centuries as a specifically American form of entertainment and went on to become a powerful medium of popular and political collective expression, articulating the tensions and reconciliations of everyday relations between individuals and society. Intimately related to the forging of social,cultural, and political American identities, the musical--often dismissed as `merely` entertainment--is tied inextricably to America`s sense of itself as a New World, a land of opportunity, and above all, the emblem of modern culture. Including material on genres ranging from minstrel shows to melodrama to the development of the contemporary book musical and the `megamusical,` the book delves into such important shows as Anything Goes, West Side Story, Evita, and Rent. It represents… [detailed...]

Kiene Brillenburg Wurth
Musically Sublime: Indeterminacy, Infinity, Irresolvability

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Musically Sublime rewrites musically the history and philosophy of the sublime. Music enables us to reconsider the traditional course of sublime feeling on a track from pain to pleasure. Resisting the notion that there is a single format for sublime feeling, Wurth shows how, from the mid eighteenth century onward, sublime feeling is, instead, constantly rearticulated in a complex interaction with musicality. Wurth takes as her point of departure Immanuel Kant`s Critique of Judgment and Jean-Francois Lyotard`s aesthetic writings of the 1980s and 1990s. Kant framed the sublime narratively as an epic of self-transcendence. By contrast, Lyotard sought to substitute open immanence for Kantian transcendence, yet he failed to deconstruct the Kantian epic. The book performs this deconstruction by juxtaposing eighteenth- and nineteenth-century conceptions of the infinite, Sehnsucht, the divided self, and unconscious drives with contemporary readings of instrumental music. Critically assessing… [detailed...]

Brothers Grimm
Musicians Of Bremen

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description Seeking a new lease on life, four clever creatures make music and mischief in this elegant edition of an oft-told classic. Once upon a time, Donkey, Dog, Cat, and Rooster, spurned by their owners, decide to set off to Bremento make their way as musicians, each one according to his voice: Donkey a lute player, Dog a drummer, Cat a violinist, and Rooster a tenor. Along the way, the talented troubadours put on a show for a band of robbers who, it turns out, are in for a terrible fright. Thai artist Niroot Puttapipat takes one of the Grimm brothers` best-loved fairy tales and wryly retells it from the point of view of the animals. His stunning illustrations make this a unique edition to treasure. A compelling endnote mentions other historical versions of the traditional tale and explains why the author chose to set his narrative in the 1600s - an era that offered the chance to highlight some of the great musical composers of the time.

Oliver Sacks
Musicophilia: Tales of Music and the Brain

2007 y.
Publisher: Knopf
Description: Music can move us to the heights or depths of emotion. It can persuade us to buy something, or remind us of our first date. It can lift us out of depression when nothing else can. It can get us dancing to its beat. But the power of music goes much, much further. Indeed, music occupies more areas of our brain than language does—humans are a musical species. Oliver Sacks’s compassionate, compelling tales of people struggling to adapt to different neurological conditions have fundamentally changed the way we think of our own brains, and of the human experience. In Musicophilia, he examines the powers of music through the individual experiences of patients, musicians, and everyday people—from a man who is struck by lightning and suddenly inspired to become a pianist at the age of forty-two, to an entire group of children with Williams syndrome, who are hypermusical from birth, from people with “amusia,” to whom a symphony sounds like the clattering of pots and pans, to a man… [detailed...]

Publisher: Vintage
Description: With the same trademark compassion and erudition he brought to The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, Oliver Sacks explores the place music occupies in the brain and how it affects the human condition. In Musicophilia, he shows us a variety of what he calls `musical misalignments`. Among them: a man struck by lightning who suddenly desires to become a pianist at the age of forty-two, an entire group of children with Williams syndrome, who are hypermusical from birth, people with `amusia`, to whom a symphony sounds like the clattering of pots and pans, and a man whose memory spans only seven seconds - for everything but music. Illuminating, inspiring, and utterly unforgettable, Musicophilia is Oliver Sacks` latest masterpiece. [detailed...]

Muslim Britain: Communities Under Pressure

2005 y.

Description: This edited collection is a cogent exploration of how the events of September 11 and the subsequent war on terror have impacted on the lived experiences of British South Asian Muslims in a number of important spheres, namely, religious and ethnic identity, citizenship, Islamophobia, gender and education, radicalism, media and political representation. The contributors to this volume are specialists in the fields of sociology, social geography, anthropology, theology and law.

Other contributions are more discursive, providing valuable polemics on the current positions of British South Asian Muslims. Формат издания: 13,5 см х 21,5 см. [detailed...]

Muslim Legal Thought in Modern Indonesia

2007 y.
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
Description: Indonesia has been home to some of the most vibrant and complex developments in modern Islamic thought anywhere in the world. Nevertheless little is known or understood about these developments outside South East Asia. By considering the work of the leading Indonesian thinkers of the twentieth century, Michael Feener, an intellectual authority in the area, offers a cogent critique of this diverse and extensive literature and sheds light on the contemporary debates and the dynamics of Islamic reform. The book highlights the openness to, and creative manipulation of, diverse strands of international thought that have come to define Islamic intellectualism in modern Indonesia. This is an accessible and interpretive overview of the religious and social thought of the world`s largest Muslim majority nation. As such it will be read by scholars of Islamic law and society, South East Asian studies and comparative law and jurisprudence. [detailed...]
