Dancing with Devtas: Drums, Power and Possession in the Music of Garhwal, North India
ISBN: 9780754656692 / Angielski / Twarda / 302 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the Central Himalayan region of Garhwal, the gods (devtas) enjoy dancing. Musicians - whether ritual specialists or musical specialists - are therefore an indispensable part of most entertainment and religious events. In shamanistic ceremonies, their incantations, songs and drumming 'make' the gods possess their mediums. In other contexts, such as dramatic theatrical renditions of stories of specific deities, actors 'dance' the role of their character having become possessed by the spirit of their character. Through the powerful sounds of their drumming, musicians cause the gods to dance....

ISBN: 9780754667919 / Angielski / Twarda / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In 1877, Ruskin accused Whistler of a flinging a pot of paint in the publica s facea . Was he right? After all, Whistler always denied that the true function of art was to represent anything. If a painting does not represent, what is it, other than mere paint, flung in the publica s face? Whistlera s answer was simple: painting is music a or it is poetry. Georges Braque, half a century later, echoed Whistlera s answer. So did Braquea s friends Apollinaire and Ponge. They presented their poetry as music too a and as painting. But meanwhile, composers such as Satie and Stravinsky were...

Music and Ethics
ISBN: 9781409434962 / Angielski / Twarda / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. It seems self-evident that music plays more than just an aesthetic role in contemporary society.

Given this, it is surprising that the subject of ethics has often been neglected in discussions about music. The various forms of engagement between music and ethics are more relevant than ever, and require sustained attention. Music and Ethics examines different ways in which music can 'in itself' a in a uniquely musical way a contribute to theoretical discussions about...
