＜p＞Soledad Acosta de Samper (Bogot?, 1833-1913) escribi? sin cesar hasta el a?o de su muerte. En el per?odo estudiado la autora emerge como escritora en su "diario de juventud" (1853) y emprende luego una escritura p?blica como corresponsal de peri?dicos desde Par?s. Ambos espacios le permiten construir una voz autorial para presentarse como novelista y posteriormente fundar su propio proyecto editorial con su peri?dico La Mujer (1878-1881). Dentro de esta compleja historia de escritura, este libro propone entender su primera etapa narrativa como un "relato letrado de g?nero": se trata de un per?odo muy prol?fico en el cual la autora reflexiona sobre la subjetividad femenina letrada y reinterpreta el modelo rom?ntico que se le propone. Para fin de siglo en su narrativa predominar?n las novelas de costumbres e hist?ricas, en oposici?n quiz? a la novela psicol?gica caracter?stica de su per?odo anterior.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞This book explores the highly-valued, and often highly-charged, ideal of authenticity in hip-hop ー what it is, why it is important, and how it affects the day-to-day life of rap artists. By analyzing the practices, identities, and struggles that shape the lives of rappers in the London scene, the study exposes the strategies and tactics that hip-hop practitioners engage in to negotiate authenticity on an everyday basis. In-depth interviews and fieldwork provide insight into the nature of authenticity in global hip-hop, and the dynamics of cultural appropriation, globalization, marketization, and digitization through a combined set of ethnographic, theoretical, and cultural analysis.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Despite growing attention to authenticity in popular music, this book is the first to offer a comprehensive theoretical model explaining the reflexive approaches hip-hop artists adopt to ‘live out’ authenticity in everyday life. This model will act as a blueprint for new studies in global hip-hop and be generative in other authenticity research, and for other music genres such as punk, rock and roll, country, and blues that share similar issues surrounding contested artist authenticity.　＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞＜em＞Image Studies＜/em＞ offers an engaging introduction to visual and image studies.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In order to better understand images and visual culture the book seeks to bridge between theory and practice; asking the reader to think critically about images and image practices, but also simultaneously to make images and engage with image-makers and image-making processes. Looking across a range of domains and disciplines, we find the image is never a single, static thing. Rather, the image can be a concept, an object, a picture, or medium ? and all these things combined. At the heart of this book is the idea of an ‘ecology of images’, through which we can examine the full ‘life’ of an image ? to understand how an image resonates within a complex set of contexts, processes and uses.＜/p＞ ＜ul＞ ＜li＞Part 1 covers theoretical perspectives on the image, supplemented with practical entries on making, researching and writing with images.＜/li＞ ＜li＞Part 2 explores specific image practices and cultures, with chapters on drawing and painting; photography; visual culture; scientific imaging; and informational images.＜/li＞ ＜/ul＞ ＜p＞A wide range of illustrations complement the text throughout and each chapter includes creative tasks, keywords (linked to an online resource), summaries and suggested further reading.

＜p＞In the first full-length study of Judith of Flanders (c. 1032-1094), Mary Dockray-Miller provides a narrative of Judith’s life through analysis of the books and art objects she commissioned and collected. Organizing her book chronologically by Judith’s marriages and commissions, Dockray-Miller argues that Judith consciously and successfully deployed patronage to support her political and marital maneuverings in the eleventh-century European political theater. During her marriage to Tostig Godwinson, Earl of Northumbria, she commissioned at least four Gospel books for herself in addition to the numerous art objects that she gave to English churches as part of her devotional practices. The multiple treasures Judith donated to Weingarten Abbey while she was married to Welf of Bavaria culminated in the posthumous gift of the relic of the Holy Blood, still celebrated as the Abbey’s most important holding. Lavishly illustrated with never before published full-color reproductions from Monte Cassino MS 437 and Fulda Landesbibliothek MS Aa.21, The Books and the Life of Judith of Flanders features English translations of relevant excerpts from the Vita Oswinii and De Translatione Sanguinis Christi. Dockray-Miller’s book is a fascinating account of this intriguing woman who successfully negotiated the pitfalls of being on the losing side of both the Norman Conquest and the Investiture Controversy.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞Seminar paper from the year 2004 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 1,0, University of Frankfurt (Main) (Institut f?r England- und Amerikastudien), course: Verbal and pictorial metaphor in political and advertising discourse, 15 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: The wordmetaphorhas its origin in the Greek wordmetaphor?,a noun meaning 'a transfer, especially in meaning, from one word to another'. It comes ultimately from the verbmetaph?rein'transfer, carry over', composed ofmeta-'over, across' andph?rein'carry, bear'. (cf. The Cambridge Encyclopaedia 1990?metaphor). Throughout the centuries theorists have tried to define general rules for this transfer in meaning and have generally considered possible underlying mechanisms of this fascinating phenomenon. The early theories, dating back in history as far as Aristotle's times, see metaphor as a figure of speech and therefore alanguagephenomenon. This view remained dominant until the middle of the 20thcentury, when cognitive linguists proposed that the locus of metaphor is not language, butthought,and therefore developed a whole new approach to metaphor. In the last decades some authors have also extended these findings from verbal metaphor to the realm of pictorial metaphor. In the first part of this paper I will give an overview of the development of these theories. I will put special emphasis on the contemporary theories of metaphor and especially those which deal with instances of so-called creative metaphor. I have selected those approaches which are most relevant for my analysis of a selection of press advertisements, involving pictorial and verbal-pictorial metaphor, which follows in the second part of this paper.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞This second volume of Stephen Jones' work on ritual and musical life in north China, again with accompanying downloadable resources, gives an impression of music-making in daily life in the poor mountainous region of Shaanbei, northwest China. It conveys some of the diverse musical activities there around 2000, from the barrage of pop music blaring from speakers in the bustling county-towns to the life-cycle and calendrical ceremonies of poor mountain villages. Based on the practice of grass-roots music-making in daily life, not merely on official images, the main theme is the painful maintenance of ritual and its music under Maoism, its revival with the market reforms of the 1980s, and its modification under the assaults of TV, pop music, and migration since the 1990s. The text is in four parts. Part One gives background to the area and music-making in society. Parts Two and Three discuss the lives of bards and shawm bands respectively, describing modifications in their ceremonial activities through the twentieth century. Part Four acclimatizes us to the modern world with glimpses of various types of musical life in Yulin city, the regional capital, illustrating the contrast with the surrounding countryside. The 44-minute downloadable resources, with its informative commentary, is intended both to illuminate the text and to stand on its own. It shows bards performing at a temple fair and to bless a family in distress, and shawm bands performing at a wedding, at funerals, and a shop opening - including their pop repertory with the 'big band'. Also featuring as part of these events are opera troupes, geomancers, and performing beggars; by contrast, the film shows a glimpse of the official image of Shaanbei culture as presented by a state ensemble in the regional capital. The publication will appeal to ethnomusicologists, anthropologists, and all those interested in modern Chinese history and society.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞Hyde Park is a London favourite. You can walk, lie in the grass, play games, take exercise and engage in sport. It has been a venue for mass celebrations since VE Day and for public events including Proms in the Park, the Olympics and countless music festivals. There is a truly fascinating history behind the park we know today and the neighbouring Kensington Gardens. On 1 July 1536, Henry VIII compelled the Convent of Westminster to hand over land that he then enclosed for hunting purposes ? and so Hyde Park began. However, it was not until the reign of Charles I that the people of London were allowed access to the park. Sold by Parliament in 1652; beset by highwaymen when the village of Kensington became home to much of the aristocracy; partially appropriated by George II to make Kensington Gardens ? Hyde Park has a dramatic past. It was, however, the Great Exhibition that was to have the greatest impact on its history. The world came to Hyde Park, with as many as 100,000 visitors occupying the exhibition at a time. It became London’s central attraction and remains the city’s greatest open space. It is truly the people’s park and, without a doubt, one of the greatest places to visit in London.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞This book follows the travels of ＜em＞Nanay＜/em＞, a testimonial theatre play developed from research with migrant domestic workers in Canada, as it was recreated and restaged in different places around the globe. This work examines how Canadian migration policy is embedded across and within histories of colonialism in the Philippines and settler colonialism in Canada. Translations between scholarship and performance ? and between Canada and the Philippines ? became more uneasy as the play travelled internationally, raising pressing questions of how decolonial collaborations might take shape in practice. This book examines the strengths and limits of existing framings of Filipina migration and offers rich ideas of how care ? the care of children and elderly and each other ? might be rethought in radically new ways within less violently unequal relations that span different colonial histories and complex triangulations of racialised migrants, settlers and Indigenous peoples.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This book is a journey towards a new way of doing and performing research and theory. It is part of a growing interdisciplinary exchange between the performing arts and social sciences and will appeal to researchers and students within human geography and performance studies, and those working on migration, colonialisms, documentary theatre and social reproduction.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞Diana Dimitrova studies the representation of gender and religion in Hindi drama from its beginnings in the second half of the nineteenth century until the 1960s - the period when urban proscenium Hindi theatre, which originated under Western influence, matured and thrived. Her focus is on how different religious and mythological models pertaining to women have been reworked in Hindi drama and whether the seven representative dramatists discussed in this book present conservative or liberating Hindu images of the feminine. She examines how the intersections of gender, religion, and ideology account for the creation of the canon of modern Hindi drama, specifically the assertion of a conservative interpretation of orthodox Hindu images of the feminine as well as the exclusion of dramatists who introduce innovative liberating images of the feminine. The overt reason for the negative attitude toward this innovative representation of gender is that it is perceived as "Western" and thus "non-Indian." By contrast, the author's analysis of Hindu mythology, religion, and theatre history reveals that the new interpretation of gender is deeply embedded in Hindu tradition and is thus both Hindu Indian and modernist Western in character.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞Richard Wagner is remembered as one of the most influential figures in music and theatre, but his place in history has been marked by a considerable amount of controversy. His attitudes towards the Jews and the appropriation of his operas by the Nazis, for example, have helped to construct a historical persona that sits uncomfortably with modern sensibilities. Yet Wagner's absolutely central position in the operatic canon continues. This volume serves as a timely reminder of his ongoing musical, cultural, and political impact. Contributions by specialists from such varied fields as musical history, German literature and cultural studies, opera production, and political science consider a range of topics, from trends and problems in the history of stage production to the representations of gender and sexuality. With the inclusion of invaluable and reliably up-to-date biographical data, this collection will be of great interest to scholars, students, and enthusiasts.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞＜strong＞Winner of the Selma Jeanne Cohen Prize in Dance Aesthetics (2014)＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞For twenty-five years, Ann Cooper Albright has been exploring the intersection of cultural representation and somatic identity in dance. For Albright, dancing is a physical inquiry, a way of experiencing and participating in the world, and her writing reflects an interdisciplinary approach to seeing and thinking about dance. In her engagement as both a dancer and a scholar, Albright draws on her kinesthetic sensibilities as well as her intellectual knowledge to articulate how movement creates meaning. Throughout Engaging Bodies movement and ideas lean on one another to produce a critical theory anchored in the material reality of dancing bodies. This blend of cultural theory and personal circumstance will be useful and inspiring for emerging scholars and dancers looking for a model of writing about dance that thrives on the interconnectedness of watching and doing, gesture and thought.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞Hardcover is un-jacketed.＜/strong＞＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Robert Lacey in his bestseller book Grace makes a remark that although famous 'American princess' had spent years cultivating her image of classic, white-gloved perfection, in real life, Grace was surprisingly often reckless young woman who had affairs with nearly all of her leading men' (Lacey 1996:i). A working actor for just five short years in the 1950s, known best for her roles as sparkling although moody partner and obviously for her work in multiple Alfred Hitchcock thrillers, Kelly outwardly came to embody her name with a seemingly effortless elegance and an almost unearthly aestheticism. James Spada, the author of Grace - The Secret Lives of a Princess states that: 'the public image of Grace Kelly - first as a movie star, then as a Princess - was a triumph of myth over reality' (Spada 1987: i). And consequently, one can assume, after a thorough research of her biographies that even though the public was presented with an image of a chaste young actress, often referred to as the 'Ice Queen' (Ibid.), the truth about her real life is far more interesting and has much more hidden beneath. In order to see the true Grace Kelly it is indeed necessary to read the opinions of her closest friends and family as quoted in the biographical sources. Without that, the only image one can obtain is that of thousands of Internet pages dully repeating the same statements about her being pretty and talented, reporting her fairy-tale life and quoting stereotypical phrases.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2010 im Fachbereich Musikwissenschaft, Note: 1, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universit?t M?nchen (Musikp?dagogik), Veranstaltung: Historische Musikp?dagogik, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Menschen machen Musik, seit es sie gibt. Zwar unterscheidet sich die 'Musik' der vorgeschichtlichen V?lker und St?mme weit von der, die wir heute als solche verstehen. Doch lassen sich selbst Laute oder Schreie, mit denen in den Fr?hkulturen kommuniziert wurde, als Musik bezeichnen. So entwickelte sich aus rituellen Ges?ngen und T?nzen, Klageliedern usw. nach und nach unsere heutige Musik, deren Entwicklung noch l?ngst nicht stillsteht. Fast genauso alt wie die Musik selbst ist die Musikerziehung und die Suche nach einem daf?r geeigneten Bildungskonzept. Erste Aussagen dar?ber lassen sich in der Antike feststellen, die 'neben dem Christentum als der bedeutendste Pfeiler europ?isch-abendl?ndischer Kultur' gilt (Ehrenforth 2005, S.41). Die wichtigsten Personen sind Pythagoras, Platon, Aristoteles und Boethius. Das Bildungskonzept orientierte sich an den 'Septem Artes Liberales', die sich aufteilen in 'Quadrivium' (arithmetica, geometrica, astronomia, musica) und 'Trivium' (grammatica, rethorica, dialectica). Mit dem aufkommenden Christentum wurde dieses traditionelle Konzept der Antike in Frage gestellt und man machte sich auf die Suche nach einem 'christlich gepr?gten' Bildungskonzept. Dabei drehte stellte man sich vor allem zwei wesentlichen Fragen: 1. Welche Bedeutung hat das Bildungskonzept der Antike weiterhin? 2. Welche Rolle spielt die Musik in der Bildung? (Ehrenforth 2005, S.112) Den scheinbaren Widerspruch zwischen fides (Glaube, Gottvertrauen) und ratio (Vernunft, Verstand, Wissenschaft) galt es au?erdem zu erkl?ren und zu beheben. Im Zeitraum vom 2. bis 9. Jahrhundert nach Christus suchten vor allem die Kirchenv?ter und Gelehrte nach L?sungen und fanden verschiedenste Ans?tze. Diese werden im Folgenden dargestellt.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞Harry White examines the influence of music in the development of the Irish literary imagination from 1800 to the present day. He identifies music as a preoccupation which originated in the poetry of Thomas Moore early in the nineteenth century. He argues that this preoccupation decisively influenced Moore's attempt to translate the 'meaning' of Irish music into verse, and that it also informed Moore's considerable impact on the development of European musical romanticism, as in the music of Berlioz and Schumann. White then examines how this preoccupation was later recovered by W.B. Yeats, whose poetry is imbued with music as a rival presence to language. In its readings of Yeats, Synge, Shaw and Joyce, the book argues that this striking musical awareness had a profound influence on the Irish literary imagination, to the extent that poetry, fiction and drama could function as correlatives of musical genres. Although Yeats insisted on the synonymous condition of speech and song in his poetry, Synge, Shaw and Joyce explicitly identified opera in particular as a generic prototype for their own work. Synge's formal musical training and early inclinations as a composer, Shaw's perception of himself as the natural successor to Wagner, and Joyce's no less striking absorption of a host of musical techniques in his fiction are advanced in this study as formative (rather than incidental) elements in the development of modern Irish writing. Music and the Irish Literary Imagination also considers Beckett's emancipation from the oppressive condition of words in general (and Joyce in particular) through the agency of music, and argues that the strong presence of Mendelssohn, Chopin and Jan?cek in the works of Brian Friel is correspondingly essential to Friel's dramatisation of Irish experience in the aftermath of Beckett. The book closes with a reading of Seamus Heaney, in which the poet's own preoccupation with the currency of established literary forms is enlisted to illuminate Heaney's abiding sense of poetry as music.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞In this collection of eight stories, masterful writer David Stier weaves fictional tales out of the real-life horror of the Holocaust. Set in the six major death camps (Chelmno, Belzec, Sobibor, Treblinka, Auschwitz, and Majdanek) and the Eastern Front, these powerful tales relate both the enormity of the crimes committed in the name of Hitler and the relentless small acts of cruelty that prisoners endured. And perhaps most important, these stories capture the humanity and compassion that persisted despite all the odds.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Among the collection is “Roosevelt’s Five Acres,” a tale of conscience and courage reborn. In “Death Obsession” Stier takes on the fetishization of Nazi and Death Camp relics. In “Kristalltr?umen,” a Jewish prisoner, who has been cursed by the family of his Roma lover and tormented by the Nazis, finds a way to use the curse to find salvation. Other stories are “Dancing to a Different Tune,” “Winner Take All,” “For the Good of the Reich,” and “Parallel Movements.”＜/p＞ ＜p＞Bonus materials include short histories of the six camps as well brief biographies of notable Auschwitz escapees Rudolf Vrba and Sammy Wetzler, and the anti-fascist Hungarian composer B?la Bart?k and his wife Ditta.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Final Solutions brings to vivid life the horrors of the Holocaust’s haunting past.＜/p＞ ＜p＞With vivid, unforgettable detail, Stier takes us inside these most infamous places. But these stories are not about death. They capture human beings living and working in impossible situations. They still have their goals and dreams, hopes and fears, and how they must go about pursuing them is alternately haunting, uplifting, and astonishing.”＜/p＞ ＜p＞--Jeanne Cavelos, bestselling author of THE PASSING OF THE TECHNO-MAGES＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
