ISBN: 9780804762502 / Angielski / Miękka / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Yet in the early decades of the twentieth century, they each came to symbolize a nation: Argentina and Brazil, respectively. Garramuno analyzes the aesthetic and ideological processes that enabled this transformation. Starting with the late nineteenth century, the author...

ISBN: 9780822353010 / Angielski / Twarda / 245 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Asian Underground music a fusion of South Asian genres with western breakbeats created for the dance club scene by DJs and musicians of Indian, Pakistani, and Bangladeshi descent went mainstream in the U.K. in the late 1990s.

Sound and Sense: Music and Musical Metaphor in the Thought and Writing of Goethe and His Age
ISBN: 9783034302371 / Angielski / Miękka / 515 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This study focuses on beliefs about music current in eighteenth-century Germany.

The book surveys traditional metaphors (music as harmony/disharmony, music as like/unlike language, music as structured by mathematical proportion or by rhythm) inherited from Greek and French thought and looks at ways in which these writers also assimilated and developed contemporary ideas (especially from Leibniz,...

Physics and the Art of Dance: Understanding Movement
ISBN: 9780195341010 / Angielski / Miękka / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Physics and the Art of Dance gives all who enjoy dance - whether as dancers, students, teachers, or fans - an opportunity to understand what happens when human bodies move in the remarkable ways we call dance. How, for instance, do dancers create the illusion of defying gravity? Or of starting to spin when in the air with no source of force to act on their bodies? You may observe some dancers using their arms in a way that allows some to jump higher than others. What is that technique, and why does it work? In this second edition, author Ken Laws - a physicist with years...

Baakisimba: Gender in the Music and Dance of the Baganda People of Uganda
ISBN: 9781138805002 / Angielski / Miękka / 316 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Originally a royal court dance, baakisimba asserted the authority of the king as the head of Baganda society. After the abolition of kingship in 1967, baakisimba dance began to be performed in other contexts, with women sometimes playing the accompanying drums-traditionally a man's role-and with men occasionally performing the dance.
Sylivia Nannyonga-Tamusuza argues that the music and dance of the Baganda people are not simply reflective of culture; baakisimba participates in the construction of social relations, and helps determine how these relations shape the performing arts....
