Music and Consciousness: Philosophical, Psychological, and Cultural Perspectives
ISBN: 9780199553792 / Angielski / Miękka / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Consciousness has been described as one of the most mysterious things in the universe. Scientists, philosophers, and commentators from a whole range of disciplines can't seem to agree what it is, or why it is that the whole rich panoply of human experience seems to emerge from a lump of squishy grey matter in our heads. Most agree, though, that consciousness represents a Hard Problem, and consciousness studies has emerged as a quasi-discipline over recent years, as a multidisciplinary discourse seeking to address these and other fascinating and perplexing questions. While the arts and...

Musical Forces: Motion, Metaphor, and Meaning in Music
ISBN: 9780253356826 / Angielski / Twarda / 390 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Steve Larson drew on his 20 years of research in music theory, cognitive linguistics, experimental psychology, and artificial intelligence-as well as his skill as a jazz pianist-to show how the experience of physical motion can shape one's musical experience. Clarifying the roles of analogy, metaphor, grouping, pattern, hierarchy, and emergence in the explanation of musical meaning, Larson explained how listeners hear tonal music through the analogues of physical gravity, magnetism, and inertia. His theory of melodic expectation goes beyond prior theories in predicting complete melodic...

Expression and Truth: On the Music of Knowledge
ISBN: 9780520273955 / Angielski / Twarda / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Expression and truth are traditional opposites in Western thought: expression supposedly refers to states of mind, truth to states of affairs. Expression and Truth rejects this opposition and proposes fluid new models of expression, truth, and knowledge with broad application to the humanities. These models derive from five theses that connect expression to description, cognition, the presence and absence of speech, and the conjunction of address and reply. The theses are linked by a concentration on musical expression, regarded as the ideal case of expression in general, and by fresh...

The Political Force of Musical Beauty
ISBN: 9780822356462 / Angielski / Twarda / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In The Political Force of Musical Beauty, Barry Shank shows how musical acts and performances generate their own aesthetic and political force, creating, however fleetingly, a shared sense of the world among otherwise diverse listeners. Rather than focusing on the ways in which music enables the circulation of political messages, he argues that communities grounded in the act and experience of listening can give rise to new political ideas and expression. Analyzing a wide range of "beautiful music" within popular and avant-garde genres including the Japanese traditions in the music of...

The Devil's Music: From Lydian Modes To Heavy Metal
ISBN: 9781489574985 / Angielski / Miękka / 326 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the Star Wars films the mythic battle between the forces of good and evil is accentuated through the film's score. The contrast between the music associated with the evil empire and that of its heroic opponents is so conspicuous that even those who never saw the films are unlikely to mistake the music of one for the other. The contrast is particularly clear when comparing the motif associated with the young heroic rebel Luke Skywalker with that of his dark imperial foe (and father) Darth Vader. The reason it is so hard to mistake music representing the villains for heroes is that most of...
