The Megamusical (Profiles in Popular Music)

2006 y.
Publisher: Ч
Description: A megamusical is an epic, dramatic show featuring recurring melodies in a sung-through score, huge, impressive sets, and grand ideas. These qualities are accompanied by intensive marketing campaigns, unprecedented international financial success, and a marked disjunction between critical reaction and audience reception. Audiences adore megamusicals, they flock to see them when they open, and return again and again, helping long-lived shows to become semi-permanent tourist attractions. Yet generally speaking, critics either dismiss megamusicals as superficial entertainment, or rail against them as offensively simple-minded money-making scams. This audience/critic division lies at the heart of The Megamusical. Jessica Sternfeld`s long-awaited study of some of the most popular megamusicals is an important contribution to knowledge of American musical culture. Sternfeld discusses the history of the megamusical, examining both its internal, performative qualities and its external,Е [detailed...]

Pierre Brocheux
The Mekong Delta: Ecology, Economy, and Revolution, 1860-1960 (Wisconsin Monograph 12)

2008 y.
Publisher: Ч
Description: Mining a wealth of archival sources in France and Vietnam, Pierre Brocheux constructs a fascinating picture of how French capital and technology transformed the Mekong Delta. By draining the swamps and encouraging a particular pattern of Vietnamese settlement, the French cultivated a volatile society, bound together by lines of credit and poised at the brink of social revolution. From the cutting of the first canals in the 1880s to the eruption of the Viet CongТs insurgency in the 1950s, this book illuminates the subtle interactions between ecology and social change in a tropical delta. The Mekong Delta is valuable for students of the Vietnamese Revolution and for scholars of peasant movements around the globe. It fills a major gap in our knowledge of the social change that swept the great deltas of Southeast Asia. [detailed...]

The Melancholy of Masterpieces: Old Masters Paintings in America, 1900-1914

2003 y.
Publisher: Ч
Description: Book DescriptionAn investigation of American collecting between 1900 and 1914, this book details the impact of transatlantic displacements and mass media on the public`s perception of old master paintings. Rather than a consideration of the itineraries of their acquisitions, this is an analysis of the political, cultural, and social implications of the phenomenon and how it functioned within American society and in relation to Europe. Retrieved is the New York milieu of journalists, political commentators, and `tastemasters` who constructed a journalistic genre, a means of collective identification, and an instrument of personal strategy around the arrival of old master paintings in America. These actors rapidly and effectively turned the acquisition of old masters into a national cultural act, which this text places in a larger narrative that involves issues of national identity and cultural definition.

Description: Winner of the New York Drama Critics Circle Award: At the suggestion of her friend Tennessee Williams, Southern writer Carson McCullers adapted her novella The Member of the Wedding into a touching and poignant play that was an enormous success when it opened on Broadway in 1950, and has long since become a classic of the American theater.

The Memoirs of Ambassador Henry F. Grady: From the Great War to the Cold War

2009 y.
Publisher: Ч
Description: When Henry Grady died in 1957, one obituary called him `America`s top diplomatic soldier` for a critical period of the Cold War, and over a long career he was deeply involved in events that changed our role in the world. Even so, this self-described `soft` cold warrior has been largely overlooked by historians. His memoirs, left to languish with his other papers, are now published for the first time, offering new insight into the origins and implementation of American trade and development policies - and into the tumult that was the Cold War.A specialist in international economic policy, Grady helped create the system of reciprocal trade established under FDR during the depression. Progressing in his career through his abilities rather than through political connections, he was sent to India during World War II to spark its production for the war effort, then to Italy to help jump-start its economy once German forces were driven out. After the war, he was the first American ambassadorЕ [detailed...]

The Memory of Bones: Body, Being, and Experience among the Classic Maya

Publisher: University of Texas Press
Description: All of human experience flows from bodies that feel, express emotion, and think about what such experiences mean. But is it possible for us, embodied as we are in a particular time and place, to know how people of long ago thought about the body and its experiences? In this groundbreaking book, three leading experts on the Classic Maya (ca. AD 250 to 850) marshal a vast array of evidence from Maya iconography and hieroglyphic writing, as well as archaeological findings, to argue that the Classic Maya developed a coherent approach to the human body that we can recover and understand today. The authors open with a cartography of the Maya body, its parts and their meanings, as depicted in imagery and texts. They go on to explore such issues as how the body was replicated in portraiture, how it experienced the world through ingestion, the senses, and the emotions, how the body experienced war and sacrifice and the pain and sexuality that were intimately bound up in these domains,Е [detailed...]
