The Castrato: Reflections on Natures and Kindsvolume 16
ISBN: 9780520279490 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 496 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The Castrato is a nuanced exploration of why innumerable boys were castrated for singing between the mid-sixteenth and late-nineteenth centuries. It shows that the entire foundation of Western classical singing, culminating in bel canto, was birthed from an unlikely and historically unique set of desires, public and private, aesthetic, economic, and political. In Italy, castration for singing was understood through the lens of Catholic blood sacrifice as expressed in idioms of offering and renunciation and, paradoxically, in satire, verbal abuse, and even the symbolism of the...

the courtesan's arts: cross-cultural perspectives includes companion website
ISBN: 9780195170290 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 424 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Courtesans, hetaeras, tawaif-s, ji-s--these women have exchanged artistic graces, elevated conversation, and sexual favors with male patrons throughout history and around the world. Of a different world than common prostitutes, courtesans deal in artistic and intellectual pleasures in ways that are wholly interdependent with their commerce in sex. In pre-colonial India, courtesans cultivated a wide variety of artistic skills, including magic, music, and chemistry. In Ming dynasty China, courtesans communicated with their patrons through poetry and music. Yet because...

Order Without Design: Information Production and Policy Making
ISBN: 9780804717267 / Angielski / Miękka / 1989 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In this lively and, ultimately, disturbing study of policy analysts who are employed in bureaucracies, the author finds a startling paradox. The analysts know that the papers they so painstakingly prepare will not be used; as one analyst remarked, -Either it won't get done in time, or it won't be good enough, or the person who wanted it done will have left and no one will know what to do with it, or the issue will no longer exist.- Yet the analysts continue to work at producing these papers. The means of producing information is at the heart of the paradox. The process systematically produces...

ISBN: 9780815334217 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Divided into three sections, Linda Phyllis Austern collects eighteen, cross-disciplinary essays written by some of the most important names in the field to look at this stimulating topic.

Finally, the book explores the action of music as it is heard and sensed by...

Reconstructing Reality in the Courtroom: Justice and Judgment in American Culture
ISBN: 9781610277990 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 218 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Reconstructing Reality in the Courtroom explains what makes stories believable and how ordinary people connect complex legal arguments and evidence presented in trials to assess guilt and innocence. The explanation takes the core elements of narrative--the who, what, where, when, how, why--and shows how average people who hear hundreds of stories every day use the connections between these elements to assess credibility. A series of simple experiments outside the courtroom provides evidence for the explanation, showing that there is little relationship between the actual truth of a story and...

Between Opera and Cinema
ISBN: 9780815334507 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Discussing diverse works from the Marx Brothers' irreverent A Night at the Opera to the moving Chinese-language film Farewell My Concubine, scholars of opera and film explore the many ways these two seemingly unrelated genres have come together from the silent-film era to today. The volume opens an entirely new area of study, one that is of growing interest to both students of opera and film history. Since the earliest days of silent film, filmmakers have been fascinated with opera, and the many adaptations of opera for the screen underscore both the affinities and differences between these...

Routine Dynamics in Action: Replication and Transformation
ISBN: 9781787565869 / Angielski / Twarda / 2019 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Contains an Open Access chapter. As organizations become increasingly distributed and diverse, and products, technologies and services more complex and dispersed, there is mounting pressure to understand how work can be coordinated across geographical, cultural and intellectual distance, both within and across organizations. As a result, questions arise about how work is accomplished through organizational practices and routines and in particular how patterns of actions are replicated and transformed across different contexts and over time. Routine dynamics has started to explore these...

Cambridge Handbook of Routine Dynamics
ISBN: 9781108834476 / Angielski / Twarda / 2021 / 560 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Over the last two decades, Routine Dynamics has emerged as an international research community that shares a particular approach to organizational phenomena. At the heart of this approach is an interest in examining the emergence, reproduction, replication and change of routines as recognizable patterns of actions. In contrast to other research communities interested in those phenomena, Routine Dynamics studies are informed by a distinctive set of theories (especially practice theory and related process-informed theories). This Handbook offers both an accessible introduction to core concepts...
