The Lyre of Orpheus: Popular Music, the Sacred, and the Profane
ISBN: 9780199751402 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych.

It is uniquely able to move us, to guide the imagination, to evoke memories, and to create spaces within which meaning is made. Popular music occupies a place of particular social and cultural significance. Christopher Partridge explores this significance, analyzing its complex relationships with the values and norms, texts and discourses, rituals and symbols, and codes and narratives of modern Western cultures. He shows how popular music's power to move, to agitate, to control listeners, to shape...

ISBN: 9781544212517 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 62 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Thomas Anstey Guthrie (8 August 1856 - 10 March 1934) was an English novelist and journalist, who wrote his comic novels under the pseudonym F. Anstey.

In 1883, he published a serious...

Anthems of Apocalypse: Popular Music and Apocalyptic Thought
ISBN: 9781907534348 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Popular music is no stranger to apocalyptic discourse. Whether focusing on biblical or secular apocalypses, musicians often want to tell us things about the end of the world we may not have wanted to know in ways we may not have thought about before. This volume seeks to introduce readers to some of these messengers and their anthems of apocalypse. Roland Boer's discussion of Nick Cave indicates that references to the portents and monsters of the apocalypse have been used to refer, not to an age to come, but to the authorities and demons of the present world. Likewise, Kennet Granholm's...

The Re-Enchantment of the West challenges those theories that predict widespread secularization beyond traditional institutional religiosity. Spiritualities are emerging that are not only quite different from the those forms of religion that are in decline, but are often defined over against them and articulated and passed on in ways quite different from those of traditional religion. In particular, it is argued that such contemporary Western spirituality is fed by a constantly replenished reservoir of ideas, practices, and methodologies, which is here termed 'occulture'. Moreover, such... The Re-Enchantment of the West challenges those theories that predict widespread secularization beyond traditional institutional religiosity. Spiri... |
