2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionFew in popular music have had as varied a career and as lasting an impact as Bob Dylan. His songs have entered the cultural consciousness in a way that some have called revolutionary. In this bold and comprehensive new study--the definitive guide to Dylan`s work--author Larry David Smith explores the convergence of biography, artistic philosophy, and musical style in Bob Dylan`s oeuvre.

Writing Ethnographic Fieldnotes

1995 y.
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
Description: In this companion volume John van Maanen`s `Tales of the Field`, three scholars reveal how the ethnographer turns direct experience and observation into written fieldnotes upon which an ethnography is based. Drawing on years of teaching and field research experience, the authors develop a series of guidelines, suggestions, and practical advice about how to write useful fieldnotes in a variety of settings, both cultural and institutional. Using actual unfinished, `working` notes as examples, they illustrate options for composing, reviewing, and working fieldnotes into finished texts. They discuss different organizational and descriptive strategies, including evocation of sensory detail, synthesis of complete scenes, the value of partial versus omniscient perspectives, and of first person versus third person accounts. Of particular interest is the author`s discussion of notetaking as a mindset. They show how transforming direct observations into vivid descriptions results not… [detailed...]

Writing Ghana, Imagining Africa: Nation and African Modernity (Rochester Studies in African History and the Diaspora)

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Writing Ghana, Imagining Africa changes dominant ideas about Africa`s relations with modernity and the global history of nationalism by recovering, and bringing fresh interpretations to, a modern genealogy of African nationalist theory. Author Kwaku Larbi Korang examines the writing of intellectuals from preindependence Ghana from the latter half of the nineteenth century to the mid-twentieth, writers who operated self-consciously in a Pan-African ideological framework. By confronting the concept of `the African Nation` under the colonial order, Korang contends that these writer-intellectuals were also confronting modernity in ways that would be important to the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Through its affiliation with recent revisionary works that have demonstrated the conceptual and existential validity of `alternative modernities,` the volume shifts our understanding of the modern from a securely and exclusively Western mode of being to the modern as relational… [detailed...]

Writing Manhood in Black And Yellow: Ralph Ellison, Frank Chin, And the Literary Politics of Identity (Asian America)

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThis book examines cultural representations of African American and Asian American masculinity, focusing primarily on the major works of two influential figures, Ralph Ellison and Frank Chin. It highlights the language of gender and sexuality that writers use to depict the psychological injuries inflicted by racism on men of color?a language that relies on metaphors of emasculation. The book focuses on how homosexuality comes to function as a powerful symbol for a feminizing racism, and explains why this disturbing symbolism proves to be so rhetorically and emotionally effective. This study also explores the influential concept of literature that these writers promote?a view of writing as a cultural and political activity capable of producing the most virile and racially authentic forms of manhood. In comparing African American and Asian American writings, this book offers the first scholarly account of how black and yellow conceptions of masculinity… [detailed...]

Writing Marketing

Description: Book DescriptionMarketing is a very diverse discipline, dealing with everything from the costs of globalization to the benefits of money-back guarantees. However, there is one thing that all marketing academics share. They are writers. They publish or perish. Their careers are advanced, and their reputations are enhanced, by the written word. Despite its importance, writing is rarely discussed, much less written about, by marketing scholars. It is one of the least understood, yet most significant, academic competencies. It is a competency in need of careful study. Writing Marketing is the first such study. It offers a detailed reading of five renowned marketing writers, ranging from Ted Levitt to Morris Holbrook, and draws lessons that can be adopted, with profit, by everyone else. Although it is not a `how to` book ? there are no lengthy lists of dos and don?ts ? Writing Marketing reveals that the `rules` of good writing are good… [detailed...]

Writing Modern Chinese Art: Historiographic Explorations

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The complexity and confusion of styles and intentions are true characteristics of modern Chinese art. Just as the definition of `modernity` was subjected to reinterpretations at various points in China`s recent history, current notions of the canon are likewise subjected to change. This book - consisting of ten articles by art historians, artist, historian, and curator - explores the developments of Chinese art in the 20th century, applying critical theories to question and reinterpret concepts that are normally taken for granted. Their writings also reveal the thought processes in which the authors filtered what they considered to be important information, especially regarding people, events, dates, and artworks. As such, the topic of each article is, in itself, a result of judicious selection. This volume demonstrates how modern Chinese art history has been - and can be - written. [detailed...]

This challenging book examines the economic, cultural and intellectual implications of tax-exempt organizations. How do various tax laws influence foundations and what types of ideas do foundations produce? How do the activities of foundations relate to the interests and intentions of their founders? Does the economic management of foundation assets serve thepublic good, or would such assets be better employed through the private sector? Around the turn of the century, individuals who had amassed substantial wealth wanted to direct some of it toward activities that would further the public interest. Their individual motives may have varied. John D. Rockefeller was interested in deflecting public criticism by using his wealth to further the public interest. James B.

Writing Performances : The Stages of Dorothy L. Sayers

2004 y.

Description: Book Description After Dorothy L. Sayers became famous for her fictional sleuth, Lord Peter Wimsey, she began investigating the mysteries of Anglo-Catholic Christianity, writing plays for both stage and radio. However, because her modernist contemporaries disdained both best-sellers and religious fiction, Sayers has been largely overlooked by the academy. Writing Performances is the first work to position Sayers` diverse writings within the critical climate of high modernism. Employing exuberant illustrations from Sayers` detective fiction to make theoretical issues accessible, the book employs insights from performance theory to argue that Sayers, though a popularizer, presciently anticipated the postmodern ironizing of Enlightenment rationality and scientific objectivity.
