A Hot-Bed of Musicians: Traditional Music in the Upper New River Valley-Whiteto

In the Blue Ridge Mountains along the Virginia North Carolina border, an extraordinarily rich musical heritage survives and flourishes.

Recentering Anglo/American Folksong: Sea Crabs and Wicked Youths
ISBN: 9781578063932 / Angielski / Twarda / 183 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A wealth of texts of British and Anglo/North American folksong has long been accessible in both published and archival sources. For two centuries these texts have energized scholarship. Yet in the past three decades this material has languished, as literary theory has held sway over textual study. In this crusading book Roger deV. Renwick argues that the business of folksong scholars is to explain folksong: folklorists must liberate the material's own voice rather than impose theories that are personally compelling or appealing. To that end, Renwick presents a case study in each... A wealth of texts of British and Anglo/North American folksong has long been accessible in both published and archival sources.

Flamenco: Passion, Politics and Popular Culture
ISBN: 9781859731710 / Angielski / Twarda / 230 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Flamenco is renowned for its passion and flamboyance. Yet because it generates such visceral responses, it is often overlooked as a site for subtler discourses. This absorbing book articulates powerful and convincing arguments on such key subjects as ethnicity, irony, authenticity, the body and resistance. Franco's 'politics of original sin' had left its mark on every aspect of Spanish life between 1936 and 1975, and flamenco music was no exception. Although widely portrayed as an apolitical, even frivolous form of entertainment, flamenco is shown here to have played a role in both the...
