Music and Urban Society in Colonial Latin America
ISBN: 9780521766869 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 392 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The Spanish colonial project in Latin America from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries was distinctly urban in focus. The impact of the written word on this process was explored in Angel Rama's seminal book The Lettered City, and much has been written by historians of art and architecture on its visible manifestations, yet the articulation of sound, urban geography and colonial power the resounding city' has been passed over in virtual silence. This collection of essays by leading scholars examines the role of music in Spanish colonial urbanism in the New World and explores the urban...

Imposing Harmony: Music and Society in Colonial Cuzco
ISBN: 9780822341369 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Imposing Harmony is a groundbreaking analysis of the role of music and musicians in the social and political life of colonial Cuzco. Challenging musicology s cathedral-centered approach to the history of music in colonial Latin America, Geoffrey Baker demonstrates that rather than being dominated by the cathedral, Cuzco s musical culture was remarkably decentralized. He shows that institutions such as parish churches and monasteries employed indigenous professional musicians, rivaling Cuzco Cathedral in the scale and frequency of the musical performances they staged.

El Sistema: Orchestrating Venezuela's Youth
ISBN: 9780199341559 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 376 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Venezuelan youth orchestra program known as "El Sistema" has attracted much attention internationally, partly via its flagship orchestra, The Simon Bolivar Youth Orchestra, headed by Gustavo Dudamel, and partly through its claims to use classical music education to rescue vulnerable children. Having been met overwhelmingly with praise, The System has become an inspiration for music educators around the globe. Yet, despite its fame, influence, and size - it is projected to number a million students in Venezuela and has spread to dozens of countries - it has been the subject of surprisingly...

Buena Vista in the Club: Rap, Reggaetón, and Revolution in Havana
ISBN: 9780822349594 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 426 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In Buena Vista in the Club, Geoffrey Baker traces the trajectory of the Havana hip hop scene from the late 1980s to the present and analyzes its partial eclipse by reggaeton. While Cuban officials initially rejected rap as the music of the enemy, leading figures in the hip hop scene soon convinced certain cultural institutions to accept and then promote rap as part of Cuba s national culture. Culminating in the creation of the state-run Cuban Rap Agency, this process of nationalization drew on the shared ideological roots of hip hop and the Cuban nation and the historical connections...

Realism’s Others
ISBN: 9781443823197 / Twarda / 2010 / 315 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. For at least a century, scholarship on realist narrative, and occasional polemics against realist narrative, have assumed that realism promotes the values of sameness against those of otherness, and that it does so by use of a narrative mode that excludes certain epistemologies, ideologies, and ways of thinking. However, the truth is more complex than that, as the essays in this volume all demonstrate. Realism’s Others examines the various strategies by which realist narratives create the idea of difference, whether that difference is registered in terms of class, ethnicity, epistemology,...

Trade Winds on the Niger: Saga of the Royal Niger Company, 1830-1971
ISBN: 9781860640148 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 333 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This tale starts in 1830 on the West Coast of Africa during the latter days of the slave trade when ""palm oil ruffians"" began trading in the swamps of the Niger delta, bartering their coloured beads and cases of gin for the golden oil and ivory which, if they did not die first from black water fever, malaria or dysentery, would make them rich.
This book is about their struggles in the area now known as Nigeria that led to the formation of the Royal Niger Company Chartered and Limited with its private army in 1886, the takeover of the Company by Lever Brothers Ltd in 1920 and its...

The Aesthetics of Clarity and Confusion: Literature and Engagement Since Nietzsche and the Naturalists
ISBN: 9783319421704 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 279 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. What should literature with political aims look like? This book traces two rival responses to this question, one prizing clarity and the other confusion, which have dominated political aesthetics since the late nineteenth century. Revisiting recurrences of the avant-garde experimentalism versus critical realism debates from the twentieth century, Geoffrey A. Baker highlights the often violent reductions at work in earlier debates. Instead of prizing one approach over the other, as many participants in those debates have done, Baker focuses on the manner in which the debate itself between...

Design Strategies in Architecture: An Approach to the Analysis of Form
ISBN: 9780419161301 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Modern architecture has become extremely complex and its study has been made more difficult by changes in fashion and a proliferation of design modes. In this book, Geoffrey Baker develops a methodology for design analysis that reveals the underlying organisation of buildings.
Part One explains the nature and role of architecture in a wide-ranging discussion extending from geometry to symbolism. Part Two demonstrates the analytical methodology by reference to cities and works by modern masters such as Aalto, Meier and Stirling. In this second revised edition, Dr Baker has added a...
