E-book Revolutionary Bodies : Chinese Dance and the Socialist Legacy

Through their emphasis on innovation, Chinese dance practitioners interpret their research to create new forms. The removal of singing or speech in Shao’s sleeve dance choreography represents her obvious departure from xiqu, in which song and speech are usually considered essential to a complete performance. The rhythmical mapping of Shao’s classroom choreography onto e…

E-book Versification : Metrics in Practice

Emic approaches oen run counter to the tendency to abstract poetic forms and how they “work” as strict ideal systems. Instead, emic approaches attend to variation as symptomatic of the potential for exibility that may also have functions or meanings in performance (Foley 2002: 33; see also Kallio, this volume). Emic terms are oen brought into focus for …

E-book How Hip Hop Became Hit Pop : Radio, Rap, and Race

In July 1992, Seattle rapper Sir Mix-a-Lot topped the Billboard “Hot 100” chart with his insatiably catchy hit “Baby Got Back.” His ode to ladies who “look like those rap guys’ girlfriends” wasn’t anywhere near the only rap song that year to do well on the “Hot 100,” which recorded the most popular songs in the United …

E-book Java: Guide to The Temples of Borobudur & Prambanan

Java is home to two of the most impressive temples in all of southeast Asia: Buddhist Borobudur and Hindu Prambanan. Borobudur (built 760-830) rises gradually in a series of majestic tiers, a testament to its stupa-mound inspiration; while Prambanan (built 850-856) soars vertically, drawing on south Indian temple prototypes. Both inspire with their innovative architectural designs, world-class …

E-book The Watlington Hoard : Coinage, Kings and the Viking Great Army in Oxf…

The hoard that forms the focus for this book was discovered on farmland in the vicinity of the small Oxfordshire town of Watlington in October 2015. It consists of 203 coins, most of which were issued by the early-medieval kingdoms of Wessex and Mercia in the late 870s, and silver ingots and metalwork — some in the form of fragmented hack-silver and a single piece of hack-gold. The metalwork …

E-book Thomas Annan of Glasgow : Pioneer of the Documentary Photograph

Victorian Scotland was the site of an astonishing florescence of photography, and Thomas Annan was one of an impressive cohort of Scottish masters of the young medium.

E-book Contact Zones : Photography, Migration, and Cultural Encounters in the…

Histories of migration to the United States are also a history of American photogra-phy. Yet, the relationship between these histories are rarely discussed in surveys of the history of photography in America. Neither are immigrants’ uses and circula-tion of photographs discussed in the historiographies of the European immigration to the United States.1 However, US migration history and the hi…

E-book Comics of the New Europe : Reflections and Intersections

Despite claiming to offer surveys of “world comics,” global histories of graphic narrative replicate some of the aporias present in the relatively impossible category of “world” or “global” literature.2 Even more narrowly defined surveys of European comics focus primarily on the “Franco-Belgian” tradition, thus swiftly setting aside …

E-book Make It New : Reshaping Jazz in the 21st Century

Organizing this book into chapters that read like magazine profiles makes it more digestible for readers and allows them to read the chapters in whichever order they prefer. Goldberg’s book was structured that way, as was series editor Martin Williams’s similarly readable Jazz Masters of New Orleans (1967). More challenging was deciding which artists to include. I made a…

E-book Comics Beyond the Page in Latin America

E-book Art, Research, Philosophy

What is‘artistic research’? I say‘artistic research’. I could have used a number ofalternative names:‘art as research’,‘arts-based research’,‘creative research’,‘fine artresearch’,‘practice-based research’,‘practice-led research’and‘visual arts research’.It is by no means clear whether they all refer to exactly the same thing. I don’tpropose to identify how…

E-book Drawing Futures

The Albertian paradigm of architecture as an allographic1practice implies that architectural design comprises forms of notation and representation. It would seem that mediums2 are all that architects engage with. Architecture is primarily a cultural, visual practice that operates through design, understood as composition and the arrangement of relations. While architects work with drawings and …

E-book Games and Bereavement : How Video Games Represent Attachment, Loss and…

Videogames are the medium of loss and death. Videogame characters frequently fall from cliffs (Super Mario Bros.), get shot (Space Inva-ders), and go bankrupt (Theme Hospital). Sometimes they die in swimming pools (The Sims), are butchered by rotating blades (Super Meat Boy), impaled (Tomb Raider), or flattened by rolling boulders (Crash Bandicoot)…

E-book Theatre and War : Notes from the Field

The auto-ethnographic components and analyses in this book are shaped by projects that I have used a variety of terms to name: Community Theatre, Theatre for Social Change, Applied Theatre, Social Theatre, and Political Theatre.

E-book Chronicles from Kashmir : An Annotated, Multimedia Script

Exploring the legitimate scope and space for theatre in a conflict zone like Kashmir is an extremely uphill task.

Here, Coleborn…

E-book Chandragupta Maurya : The creation of a national hero in India

We take it for granted that some ancient figures become heroes, and others do not. When we consider the question at all, it is usually assumed that such transformations are largely a matter of chance. And while there may be cases in which sheer luck is involved, this book shows that heroes can also be shaped by the tide and pull of historical forces and determined personalities. He…

E-book Ancient Greek Myth in World Fiction since 1989

Barry Unsworth, the British Booker Prize- winning author, was, in a sense, the creative catalyst for this volume. While researching the late- twentieth- century revival of Euripides’ Iphigenia at Aulis on international stages, Edith Hall was led from drama to fi ction by reading Unsworth’s 2002 novel, Th e Songs of the Kings . 1Unsworth’s novel pinpointed on…

E-book Sounds of War and Peace : Soundscapes of European Cities in 1945

World War II radically altered the image of many European cities. Some, like Warsaw and Dresden, were almost completely destroyed, and became symbols both of war-time barbarism and of the recuperative power of their respective nations.

E-book Music of a Thousand Years : A New History of Persian Musical Traditions

In the fall of 2000, I was sitting in one of my classes at UCLA, eagerly awaiting an announced guest speaker. He was coming to teach us about traditional Persian music, one of Iran’s great music traditions. I was excited because I already had some knowledge of Arabic and Turkish music, but at the time I knew much less about Persian music. Arabic and Turkish music had…

E-book A Stage of Emancipation : Change and Progress at the Dublin Gate Theatre

In his introduction to Irish Drama and Theatre since 1950 (2019), Patrick Lonergan outlines the genealogy of the #WakingTheFeminists movement, which began as a contestation of how the Abbey’s 2016 Waking the Nation programme marginalised female playwrights and directors, but quickly expanded to raise awareness about the precarious position of women in …

E-book Postdramatic Dramaturgies : Resonances between Asia and Europe

4|Kai Tuchmannartists are represented by a transcription of their opening lecture (together with a video link) and a script of a performance piece that is representative of their approach. It is essential to be aware that the latter are not classical drama texts and that they thus only acquire their actual function when performed. By making these lectures public, I wish to provide…

E-book Death and (Re) Birth of J.S. Bach: Reconsidering Musical Authorship an…

While the study and redefinition of the notion of authorship and its relationship to the idea of the literary work have played a central role in recent research on literature, semiotics, and related disciplines, its impact on contemporary musicology is still limited. Why? What implications would a reconsideration of the author- and work-concepts have on our understanding of the creative musical…

E-book Case Files

From a flat in Brooklyn, I uploaded bundles of text and images to a website, hoping that—like messages in a bottle, or like the golden record mounted on the Voyager spacecraft—they may reach someone on the other side of the planet, or in other planets altogether. And in a manner of speaking, they did. Shortly thereafter, Organs Everywhere had …

E-book The Chamber Musician in the Twenty-First Century

In recent research, there has been growing emphasis on the collaborative, social, and collective nature of musical behaviour and practices. Among the emerging hypotheses in this connection are the idea that listening to music is always listening together and being with the other; that music making is a matter of intercorporeality, mutuality, and emphatic attunement; and that creative agency in …

E-book The Performance Practice of Electroacoustic Music : The Studio di Fono…

fter more than 60 years, the term performance practice in the context of elec-troacoustic music seems to be established in professional circles.1 However, the notion of the interpretation of electroacoustic music, at least of its purely electronic, non-instrumental parts, is not self-evident for experienced audiences and even for professional musicians who are not familia…

E-book The Tennis Blueprint

The grip you use to serve with will dictate your entire swing. Large numbers of club players tend to use a forehand grip to serve with, which causes many problems as they progress and want more power and spins on their serve.

E-book Guitar All in One for Dummies

Though the guitar as we know it is only about a century and a half old, its roots as a plucked stringed instrument go back deep into history.

It seems humans have always had something like the …
