Jazz Cultures
ISBN: 9780520228894 / Angielski / Miękka / 238 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. From its beginning, jazz has presented a contradictory social world: jazz musicians have worked diligently to erase old boundaries, but they have just as resolutely constructed new ones.

Adorno (1903-1969), one of the principal figures associated with the Frankfurt School, wrote extensively on culture, modernity, aesthetics, literature, and--more than any other subject--music.

What Is This Thing Called Jazz?: African American Musicians as Artists, Critics, and Activistsvolume 6
ISBN: 9780520232969 / Angielski / Miękka / 425 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Despite the plethora of writing about jazz, little attention has been paid to what musicians themselves wrote and said about their practice. An implicit division of labor has emerged where, for the most part, black artists invent and play music while white writers provide the commentary. Eric Porter overturns this tendency in his creative intellectual history of African American musicians. He foregrounds the often-ignored ideas of these artists, analyzing them in the context of meanings circulating around jazz, as well as in relationship to broader currents in African American thought. ...

ISBN: 9780807849767 / Angielski / Miękka / 276 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the late 1960s, Brazilian artists forged a watershed cultural movement known as Tropicalia.
