ISBN: 9780773528543 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. It is commonplace in our digitized world to think that technology is the primary agent of psychological and social change. In "Interactive Realism" Daniel Downes argues that it continues to be people who construct social reality through their interactions, critiquing the "tranformative turn" in media studies. Distinguishing between the Internet, a communication system, and cyberspace, an environment for human exchange, the author provides a framework for exploring the metaphors and images used in cyberspace to represent and model social reality. He clarifies how these symbolic interactions...

After Mahler: Britten, Weill, Henze and Romantic Redemption
ISBN: 9781107008717 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 287 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Gustav Mahler is often thought of as one of the last of the Romantic composers and, as a result his influence on the development of twentieth-century music has been little explored. In this ground-breaking study, Stephen Downes shows that Mahler's music was in fact greatly admired by major composers Benjamin Britten, Kurt Weill and Hans Werner Henze. Despite their initial admiration being notably dissonant with the prevailing Zeitgeist Britten in 1930s England, Weill in 1920s Germany and Henze in 1950s Germany and Italy Downes argues that Mahler's music struck a profound chord with them...
