French Cultural Politics & Music: From the Dreyfus Affair to the First World War
ISBN: 9780195120219 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book draws upon both musicology and cultural history to argue that French musical meanings and values from 1898 to 1914 are best explained not in terms of contemporary artistic movements but of the political culture. During these years, France was undergoing many subtle yet profound political changes. Nationalist leagues forged new modes of political activity, as Jane F. Fulcher details in this important study, and thus the whole playing field of political action was enlarged. Investigating this transitional period in light of several recent insights in the areas of French history,...

ISBN: 9780195123678 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. How was Africa seen by the West during the colonial period? How do Europeans and Americans conceive of Africa in today's postcolonial era? Such questions have preoccupied anthropologists, historians, and literary scholars for years.

Fewer still have wondered how Western images of Africa and African representations of the West might mirror one another. In a detailed study spanning from the late nineteenth century to the present, renowned anthropologist and ethnomusicologist Veit Erlmann examines the...

The Atonal Music of Arnold Schoenberg, 1908-1923
ISBN: 9780195128260 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 286 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Between 1908 and 1923, Arnold Schoenberg began writing music that went against many of the accepted concepts and practices of this art. Largely following his intuition during these years, he composed some of the masterpieces of the modern repertoire--including Pierrot lunaire and Erwartung--works that have since provoked a large, though fragmented, body of critical and analytical writing. In this book, Bryan Simms combines a historical study with a close analytical reading of the music to give us a new and richer understanding of Schoenberg's seminal work during this...
