Kendall, Tim. ‘Freely Proffered’? Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198806516.003.0008.
Full textAbstract:
Writing The Times obituary for Rupert Brooke, Winston Churchill, then First Lord of the Admiralty, contended that in times of crisis ‘no sacrifice but the most precious is acceptable, and the most precious is that which is most freely proffered’. In an age when faith in an afterlife was waning, a freely proffered sacrifice appeared especially virtuous. To praise it was, paradoxically, to insult it—hence the soldier’s insistence, in Brooke’s most famous sonnet, that posterity should remember him strictly according to his own stipulations: ‘think only this of me’. Brooke was a pioneer, understanding that his writings must articulate a new kind of sacrifice. His five sonnets of the sequence ‘1914’ were the first of any significance to be published by a soldier–poet who had seen active service. Dwelling on the reasons to fight and to die, they remained the most influential literary works during the war and afterwards.

Carney, Elizabeth Donnelly. Eurydice and the Birth of Macedonian Power. Oxford University Press, 2019. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190280536.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
Eurydice (c. 410–340s BCE) played a part in the public life of ancient Macedonia, the first royal Macedonian woman known to have done so. She was the wife of Amyntas III, the mother of Philip II (and two other short-lived kings of Macedonia), and grandmother of Alexander the Great. Her career marked a turning point in the role of royal women in Macedonian monarchy, one that coincided with the emergence of Macedonia as a great power in the Hellenic world. This study examines the nature of her public role as well as the factors that contributed its expansion and the expansion of Macedonia. Some ancient sources picture Eurydice as a murderous adulteress willing to attempt the elimination of her husband and her three sons for the sake of her lover, whereas others portray her as a doting and heroic mother whose actions led to the preservation of the throne for her sons. Both traditions describe her as the leader of a faction, as well as an active figure at court and in international affairs. Eurydice also participated in the construction of the public image of the dynasty. Archaeological discoveries since the 1980s enable us to better understand this development.

Eccles, John. Incidental Music, Part 2. Edited by Estelle Murphy. A-R Editions, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.31022/b220.
Full textAbstract:
John Eccles's active theatrical career spanned a period of about sixteen years, though he continued to compose occasionally for the theater after his semi-retirement in 1707. During his career he wrote incidental music for more than seventy plays, writing songs that fit perfectly within their dramatic contexts and that offered carefully tailored vehicles for his singers’ talents while remaining highly accessible in tone. This edition includes music composed by Eccles for plays beginning with the letters H–P. These plays were fundamentally collaborative ventures, and multiple composers often supplied the music; thus, this edition includes all the known songs and instrumental items for each play. Plot summaries of the plays are given along with relevant dialogue cues, and the songs are given in the order in which they appear in the drama (when known).

Lambert, Erin. Walking in the Resurrection. Oxford University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190661649.003.0004.
Full textAbstract:
This chapter explores the ways in which resurrection was transformed in the songs and martyr stories of Dutch Anabaptism, with a particular focus on the trial of a clandestine community in which songs circulated in Amsterdam. Drawing on the theology of Menno Simons, Dirk Philips, and David Joris, Anabaptists sang not of the raising of the body but of a spiritual resurrection that took place with the acceptance of baptism. In turn, they redefined the Christian life as a “walk in resurrection.” A shared walk through the world, comprised of ordinary actions such as breaking bread and singing together, also defined the Christian community. Anabaptists’ songs, this chapter thus suggests, reveal the complexity of the relationship between belief and its enactment, and they reshape our understanding of the community of faith, casting it as the product of shared experience.

Frisch, Walter. Harold Arlen and His Songs. Oxford University Press, 2024. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780197503270.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
Abstract Harold Arlen and His Songs is the first full-length study of the work of one of the great composers of the American Songbook. Although he created many standards, Arlen lacks the name recognition of some of his peers. He wrote in wide range of styles, from ballads like “Over the Rainbow,” to comic “list” numbers like “Lydia the Tattooed Lady,” to jazz- and blues-infused songs like “Blues in the Night,” to intense torch songs like “The Man That Got Away.” While analysis of American popular song of this era (ca. 1920–1970) has often focused on the music, this study treats Arlen’s works as true collaborations between composer and lyricist, something he emphasized as a “happy wedding.” The book is organized structurally by Arlen’s work with each of his principal lyricists, Ted Koehler, Yip Harburg, Johnny Mercer, Leo Robin, Dorothy Fields, Ira Gershwin, Truman Capote, Dory Langdon, and Martin Charnin. This approach yields a roughly chronological trajectory extending over forty years from 1929 to the early 1970s, and across three main venues, the Cotton Club of Harlem, Broadway, and Hollywood. Arlen was more closely associated than his peers with prominent Black singers, and he composed scores for several Black-cast stage and film musicals. As arranger, pianist, and singer, Arlen was also active as a performer of his own songs, on record, radio, and television.

Full textAbstract:
The new men were active throughout Henry’s financial administration, aiming to increase the king’s revenues and the precision of his financial management. They collected and drove up the crown’s landed revenues and the customs on trade. They assessed taxation, oversaw the coinage, and managed the king’s feudal revenues from wardship and livery. They administered the bonds through which Henry bound his subjects to pay him money and which he used to exert political control over individuals. They helped the king audit accounts, took stock of royal possessions, and managed the financial transition from his reign to his son’s.

Inglis, Ian. The Words and Music of George Harrison. ABC-CLIO, LLC, 2010. http://dx.doi.org/10.5040/9798216038429.
Full textAbstract:
This book offers a comprehensive assessment of the music of George Harrison, revealing him as one of the most gifted and authentic singer-songwriters of his generation. The Words and Music of George Harrison is an in-depth appreciation of this often underappreciated musician, following Harrison's development as a singer-songwriter from his earliest songs with The Beatles through his final album, Brainwashed, released after his 2001 death from brain cancer. The Words and Music of George Harrison sheds new light on Harrison's 40-year career, examining his music output in the context of the enormous personal and professional changes he underwent, from the early days in Liverpool and the global explosion of Beatlemania through a solo career marked by spiritual concerns, political activism, and high-profile collaborations. As the book shows, at every stage, George Harrison's songs posed questions, provided commentaries, and looked for solutions, with results that add up to a remarkable music legacy.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter focuses on orchestrational technique, explaining the role and importance of arrangers and orchestrators. It surveys musical conventions (of timbre, texture, gesture, sonority, and performance style) commonly used to convey each of the four aesthetic parameters introduced in chapter 2 (sensuousness, restraint, elevation, and sophistication). Bringing in noncinematic examples such as songs by the Pet Shop Boys, Joni Mitchell, and Steely Dan, it shows how these glamour conventions remain active in different popular music idioms to the present day. The chapter concludes by noting that glamour, like other style modes, can be played for different effects, including comedy and camp subversion; but it can also be played straight, with no ironic commentary in mind, and it is essential to appreciate when extravagance takes dignified forms.

Perone, James E. The Words and Music of Melissa Etheridge. ABC-CLIO, LLC, 2014. http://dx.doi.org/10.5040/9798216038481.
Full textAbstract:
Songwriter. Pop star. Gay activist. Cancer survivor. Advocate for cancer victims. Human being. Melissa Etheridge is all of these things, and all of these elements of who she is have played an instrumental role in her music from the beginning of her career to the present day. The Words and Music of Melissa Etheridge examines Melissa Etheridge’s contributions to pop music in the tradition of other greats such as Janis Joplin, Bruce Springsteen, and Rod Stewart. Written by a music scholar and Etheridge fan, this book investigates her work chronologically by time period, underscoring her growth as a songwriter and musician and demonstrating how her music reflected the events in her life, both positive and negative. Author James E. Perone spotlights how Etheridge’s songs defy traditional gender roles and stereotypes and appeal to general audiences with their universal themes, yet serve those in the lesbian community because of the specific applicability of her words to the members of this minority group. The book supplies expert, critical, and easy-to-understand analysis of all of the songs of Melissa Etheridge’s studio albums from the 1980s through to her autobiographical and reflective album, 4th Street Feeling, released in 2012.

Rojas, Eunice, and Lindsay Michie, eds. Sounds of Resistance. ABC-CLIO, LLC, 2013. http://dx.doi.org/10.5040/9798216016724.
Full textAbstract:
From the gospel music of slavery in the antebellum South to anti-apartheid freedom songs in South Africa, this two-volume work documents how music has fueled resistance and revolutionary movements in the United States and worldwide. Political resistance movements and the creation of music—two seemingly unrelated phenomenon—often result from the seed of powerful emotions, opinions, or experiences. This two-volume set presents essays that explore the connections between diverse musical forms and political activism across the globe, revealing fascinating similarities regarding the interrelationship between music and political resistance in widely different geographic or cultural circumstances. The breadth of specific examples covered inSounds of Resistance: The Role of Music in Multicultural Activismhighlights strong similarities between diverse situations—for example, protest against the Communist government in Poland and drug discourse in hip hop music in the United States—and demonstrates how music has repeatedly played a vital role in energizing or expanding various political movements. By exploring activism and how music relates to specific movements through an interdisciplinary lens, the authors document how music often enables powerless members of oppressed groups to communicate or voice their concerns.

This chapter describes the folk music scene from 1959 to 1960. Topics covered include Alan Lomax's efforts to capture the complex nature of popular music in 1959; the Kingston Trio's continued popularity; Britain's flourishing folk music scene despite the decline of skiffle; increasing popularity of folk music in America as its boundaries disappeared in the flood of new recordings, books, magazines, newsletters, radio programs, and TV shows; the release of the New Lost City Ramblers's album The New Lost City Ramblers; and the folk revival's musical and activist political connections in the South, personified by Guy Carawan's work at Highlander Folk School in Monteagle, and then Knoxville, Tennessee, even before songs became a vital part of the developing civil rights movement.

Lewis, Hannah. Source Music and Cinematic Realism. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190635978.003.0006.
Full textAbstract:
Chapter 5 focuses on the role of diegetic music in early poetic realist films. Poetic realism, the filmmaking genre that emerged out of the politics of the mid-1930s, had its roots in transition-era films by filmmakers such as Jean Grémillon, Julien Duvivier, Jacques Feyder, and perhaps most notably, Jean Renoir. The soundtracks of these filmmakers tended to favor a “realistic” incorporation of music into the narrative, an aesthetic decision grounded in a broader preference for direct recording, and frequently featured popular songs and street musicians to enhance the realism of a film’s setting. But diegetic music in early poetic realist films was multivalent, revealing the emotions or thoughts of characters, providing narrative commentary, and at times going against the expectations of a scene’s mood or actions. Considering diegetic music in early poetic realist sound films shows the ways in which audiovisual realism and stylization worked hand in hand.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Plant Thinkers of Twentieth-Century Bengal takes an unexpected cast of writers and artists and, in studying their work as ‘plant thinkers’, looks at how their stories and songs, art and films, and, of course, the idiomatic affected Bengali life and thought. Forest and garden, grass and root, weeds and magical plants—supported by a foliage of thought that allowed them to see beyond the botanical, Rabindranath Tagore, Bibhutibhushan Bandyopadhyay, Jibanananda Das, Shakti Chattopadhyay, Satyajit Ray, and others derived their worldview, their poetics and politics, from the plant world. Jagadish Chandra Bose’s scientific experiments, his research and the philosophy that propelled it, religions and rituals that involved an affective relationship with the natural world, a subterranean invocation of plant philosophy in actions and words, in living and in creative practice, and the political possibilities beyond the nation state that such thinking generated give this book its sap and flow. What might we take from these plant thinkers to rehabilitate our consciousness today?

Vanel, Hervé. Furniture Music. University of Illinois Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.5406/illinois/9780252037993.003.0002.
Full textAbstract:
This chapter explores the furniture music of French composer Erik Satie (1866–1925). Satie's pieces of furniture music are each fundamentally based on a short musical fragment, to be repeated ad lib (at one's pleasure). As such, they are intrinsically monotonous and can retain the attention of the active listener for only a short span before boredom inevitably sets in. Vexations (1893), for instance, is a short piece consisting of four repetitive phrases to be repeated 840 times. Strictly speaking, three sets of furniture music by Satie exist. The first set, from 1917, is composed for flute, clarinet, and strings, plus a trumpet for the first piece. The second set, from 1920 and labeled Sons industriels [Industrial sounds], was performed at the Galerie Barbazanges. The last piece of furniture music for small orchestra from 1923, was commissioned by Mrs. Eugè ne Meyer Jr. of Washington, D.C. Tenture de cabinet préfectoral (approximately: Upholstery for a Governor's Office) was delivered by Satie to furnish the library of her residence.

Full textAbstract:
This book shines a spotlight on the lawyers, engineers, young yeshiva graduates, and sons of connected businessmen who, in the autumn of 1940, joined the newly formed Jewish Order Service. The book tracks the everyday life of policemen as their involvement with the horrors of ghetto life gradually increased. Facing and engaging with brutality, corruption, and the degradation and humiliation of their own people, these policemen found it virtually impossible to exercise individual agency. While some saw the Jewish police as fellow victims, others viewed them as a more dangerous threat than the German occupation authorities; both were held responsible for the destruction of a historically important and thriving community. The book emphasizes the complexity of the situation, the policemen's place in the network of social life in the ghetto, and the difficulty behind the choices that they made. By placing the actions of the Jewish Order Service in historical context, the book explores both the decisions that its members were forced to make and the consequences of those actions. Featuring testimonies of members of the Jewish Order Service, and of others who could see them as they themselves could not, the book brings these impossible situations to life. It also demonstrates how a community chooses to remember those whose allegiances did not seem clear.

Visackienė, Rima, ed. Juozo Kartenio užrašyta tautosaka. The Institute of Lithuanian Literature and Folklore, 2024. https://doi.org/10.51554/kartenis.2024.
Full textAbstract:
Juozas Kartenis (1909-1989) was a folklore collector, teacher, researcher in the field of agriculture, self-taught photographer, and musician (violinist). While still being a student at the Simonas Daukantas Teachers' Seminary (1928-1932), the twenty-year-old began collecting songs in his native Ukmergė and Širvintai areas. In 1935, Kartenis also visited the last singers of the Ukmergė region's sutartinės - Agota Našlėnaitė-Gricienė, Barbora Bugenavičaitė-Stimburienė, and Marijona Stimburaitė-Gricienė, and wrote down 16 sutartinės (Lithuanian multipart songs), accompanied by some significant comments about their performance. He recorded 14 more from other sutartinės singers in Deltuva parish: O. Petrauskienė-Krasauskaitė (89), Baltrus Tamošiūnas (77), B. Vasiliauskas (67), J. Atkočiūnas, Petras Burokas (80) from Vepriai parish, Adamas Tamošiūnas (62), and Veronika Tamošiūnienė (59) from Deltuva parish, Jurgis Unčiūris (68) from Gelvonai parish. In 1935, when associate professor Jonas Balys became the head of the Lithuanian Folklore Archive and started actively promoting collection of folklore material, J. Kartenis was in the top 20 of the most famous folklore collectors. The songs he recorded are of great scientific and artistic value. In a relatively small area Kartenis captured the image and peculiarities of the already disappearing so-called “people's songs” and highlighted the reasons for their disappearance. Of particular interest and worthy of attention is a type of songs from a short-lived tradition, that were sung with a “bossing” (accompanied by two sounds - prima and sub-quart). Among the recorded melodies, there are ritual laments that have retained their full poetic texts, the context of which is defined by the collector's notes. This collection consists of the digitised collections compiled by J. Kartenis in 1935-1936: “Aukštaitiškos dainos” (“Highland Songs”) (LTR 649, LTR 650, LTR 651), “Aukštaičių tautosaka” (“Highland Folklore”) (LTR 836), and another collection of songs and sutartinės from the Deltuva region (LTR 963), which is particularly significant for researchers of sung folklore. The collection also includes a set LTR 6741, which consists of two notebooks: memories and biographical data about the folklore collector written down by Rima Visackienė, a researcher of Kartenis’ life and work, and Kartenis’ notes on agronomy written in the post-war period, towards the end of his life. Juozas Kartenis (1909–1989) – tautosakos rinkėjas, mokytojas, žemės ūkio srities tyrėjas, savamokslis fotografas ir muzikantas (grojo smuiku). Dar bestudijuodamas Simono Daukanto mokytojų seminarijoje (1928–1932), dvidešimtmetis jaunuolis pradėjo rinkti dainas savo gimtosiose Ukmergės bei Širvintų apylinkėse. 1935 metais J. Kartenis aplankė ir paskutiniąsias Ukmergės krašto sutartinių giedotojas – Agotą Našlėnaitę-Gricienę, Barborą Bugenavičaitę-Stimburienę ir Marijoną Stimburaitę-Gricienę, ranka užrašė 16 jų sugiedotų sutartinių, pateikė reikšmingų pastabų apie jų atlikimą. Dar 14 sutartinių jis užfiksavo iš kitų giesmininkų Deltuvos valsčiuje: O. Petrauskienės-Krasauskaitės (89 m), Baltraus Tamošiūno (77 m.), B. Vasiliausko (67 m.), J. Atkočiūno, Petro Buroko (80 m.) iš Veprių valsčiaus, Adomo Tamošiūno (62 m.) ir Veronikos Tamošiūnienės (59 m.) iš Deltuvos valsčiaus, Jurgio Unčiūrio (68 m.) iš Gelvonų valsčiaus. 1935 metais doc. dr. Jonui Baliui pradėjus vadovauti Lietuvių tautosakos archyvui ir aktyviai skatinant tautosakos rinkimo darbus, J. Kartenis buvo žymiausių tautosakos rinkėjų dvidešimtuke. Jo užfiksuotos dainos yra labai vertingos tiek moksliniu, tiek meniniu požiūriu. Nedidelėje teritorijoje J. Kartenis užfiksavo jau nykstančių vadinamųjų „žmonių dainų“ vaizdą, savitumus, išryškino nykimo priežastis. Ypatingai įdomus ir dėmesio vertas jau mažai išlikęs dainų atlikimas „bosuojant“ (t. y. antrą balsą pritariant dviem garsais – prima ir subkvarta). Tarp užfiksuotų melodijų randamos apeiginės raudos, išlaikiusios pilnus poetinius tekstus, kurių kontekstą nusako rinkėjo pastabos. Šią kolekciją sudaro suskaitmeninti, 1935– 1936 metais J. Kartenio sudaryti rinkiniai: „Aukštaitiškos dainos“ (LTR 649, LTR 650, LTR 651), „Aukštaičių tautosaka“ (LTR 836) ir dar vienas, ypač reikšmingas dainuojamojo folkloro tyrėjams, sutartinių ir dainų rinkinys iš paskutiniųjų Deltuvos krašto sutartuvininkių (LTR 963). Į šią kolekciją įtrauktas ir rinkinys LTR 6741, kurį sudaro du sąsiuviniai: J. Kartenio gyvenimo ir darbų tyrėjos Rimos Visackienės individualių ekspedicijų metu užrašyti prisiminimai bei biografiniai duomenys apie šį tautosakos rinkėją ir J. Kartenio agronomijos užrašai (rašyti pokaryje, jo gyvenimo pabaigoje).

Falque, Emmanuel. The Book of Experience. Bloomsbury Publishing Plc, 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.5040/9781350386525.
Full textAbstract:
Emmanuel Falque, one of the foremost philosophers working in the continental philosophy of religion today, takes us by the hand into the very heart of 12th-century monastic spirituality. Translated into English for the first time, The Book of Experience weaves together contemporary phenomenological questions with medieval theology, revealing undiscovered dialogues already underway between Hugh of St. Victor and Maurice Merleau-Ponty, between Richard of St. Victor and Emmanuel Levinas, between Aelred of Rievaulx and Michel Henry, and not least between Bernard of Clairvaux and the trio of Descartes, Heidegger, and Jean-Luc Marion, consummating in a masterful phenomenological reading of Bernard’s sermons on the Song of Songs. Whether it is a question of ‘the idea that comes to God’ (Anselm of Canterbury) or actively ‘feeling oneself fully alive’ (Aelred of Rievaulx or Bernard of Clairvaux), Falque uses these encounters to shed light on both parties, medieval and modern, theological and philosophical. Leading us through works of art, landscapes, architectures, and liturgies, this major contemporary philosopher of religion clarifies mysteries and discovers experience lying at the heart of the medieval tradition.

Nelligan, Kat. Brand Lady Gaga. Bloomsbury Publishing Plc, 2025. https://doi.org/10.5040/9781501371011.
Full textAbstract:
This book is about Lady Gaga’s branding—the stories that inform it and the ideas that shape her public image. Who is Lady Gaga and how does she connect with her fans and audiences via storytelling? These questions guide Nelligan’s discourse and textual analyses of Gaga’s media interviews, product marketing, songs, albums and documentaries to reveal numerous themes and messages that inform her brand. These themes include: stories about monsters, self-love bravery, kindness and pride; distinctive and outlandish fashion and boundary-pushing performance art; LGBTIQA+ activism and support of queer communities; mental-health advocacy and philanthropy (which, as Nelligan shows, is powerfully underpinned by Gaga’s own mental-health challenges); and personal reflections on the significance of family and kinship in shaping her identity as a songwriter and artist. Nelligan demonstrates how Gaga, in a considered yet heartfelt manner, weaves these themes together to form the overarching story ofBrand Lady Gaga, offering insights into the star’s extraordinary life and the dynamics of twenty-first-century branding in music.

Full textAbstract:
There has been a dramatic resurgence of interest in early African American writing. Since the accidental rediscovery and republication of Harriet Wilson'sOur Nigin 1983, the works of dozens of 19th and early 20th century black writers have been recovered and reprinted. There is now a significant revival of interest in the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s; and in the last decade alone, several major assessments of 18th and 19th century African American literature have been published. Early African American literature builds on a strong oral tradition of songs, folktales, and sermons. Slave narratives began to appear during the late 18th and early 19th century, and later writers began to engage a variety of themes in diverse genres. A central objective of this reference book is to provide a wide-ranging introduction to the first 200 years of African American literature. Included are alphabetically arranged entries for 78 black writers active between 1745 and 1945. Among these writers are essayists, novelists, short story writers, poets, playwrights, and autobiographers. Each entry is written by an expert contributor and provides a biography, a discussion of major works and themes, an overview of the author's critical reception, and primary and secondary bibliographies. The volume concludes with a selected, general bibliography.

Full textAbstract:
“Aprendamos todos a leer” es un programa para la enseñanza del lenguaje en la básica primaria. En preescolar y primer grado, la enseñanza explícita de la lectura y la escritura se enfoca en el desarrollo y consolidación de las habilidades precursoras en la etapa inicial, como son: la conciencia fonológica, el principio alfabético, la adquisición de vocabulario nuevo, la comprensión oral y de lectura y la escritura de letras, palabras y oraciones. Empleando una metodología activa el programa busca desarrollar y consolidar las habilidades precursoras de la alfabetización inicial; y para hacerlo, ademásde su propuesta de materiales para estudiantes y docentes, se apoya en diversas herramientas que permiten al niño o la niña practicar y aplicar las habilidades en su contexto, buscando así que se interiorice el aprendizaje. Una de estas herramientas es el componedor de palabras, la cual se usa para afianzar la conexión entre el sonido de las letras (conciencia fonológica) y su forma (grafema). A esa asociación le llamamos principio alfabético. Cuando el estudiante logra identificar cada uno de los sonidos que componen una palabra, se habla de decodificación. El componedor de palabras es una herramienta poderosa para trabajar la decodificación.

Kozlova, Ekaterina E. Rizpah. Oxford University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198796879.003.0003.
Full textAbstract:
This chapter explores the account of Rizpah, a sorrowful mother, whose mournful vigil is featured at the moment of a royal dynasty’s demise and thus during a transitional phase in Israel’s history (2 Sam. 21). It focuses on the semantics of Rizpah’s name (glowing coal) and shows that it overlaps with conventions in the international nomenclature for punitive treatment of heirs/remnants in response to breached covenant obligations. The chapter argues that by placing the woman named Rizpah into the story about remnants, the narrator extracts and exploits the maximum of its underlying ideology, turning her vigil into a social commentary on David’s actions. Questioning the exigency of young Saulides’ immolation and bringing the king’s flawed remnant theology and dubious ethic in relation to oaths to the public focus, Rizpah’s watch calls for measures to mitigate her sons’ shameful fate and alleviate penal plagues ravaging the nation.

Full textAbstract:
This engaging overview of the American Revolution enables readers to consider and understand history with greater intimacy and accuracy through more than 100 primary documents. This book provides American history readers with a handy reference that examines all important aspects of the era of the American Revolution. The author models how an expert scholar interacts with primary sources, thereby providing guidance that shows readers how to pick apart and critically evaluate firsthand the key documents chronicling these major events in American history. The book is divided into four sections. The first, "The Road to Revolution," deals with events that include both British actions and Colonial reactions. The section's major focus is on the question, "What brings people to the point where they are willing to spill blood for a cause?" Section two is about the war's battles, highlighting military strategy and tactics and the decisive role of leadership in achieving victory. Section three, "A Nation of Amazons," focuses on the military exploits of women who disguised themselves as men, fired cannons, executed enemy soldiers, and served as spies. Section four, titled "The Songs of Liberty," shares works that both inspired and reflected the conflict's main events.

Full textAbstract:
Performing Environmentalisms: Expressive Culture and Ecological Change is a fresh contribution to the environmental humanities, offering ten original essays anchored in the fields of folklore studies and ethnomusicology that engage productively with forms of traditional expressive culture at the crux of environmental debate and conflict. These essays draw on ethnographic research in several world regions to explore the ways individuals and groups express and perform their connection to the environment as they interpret changing environments, manage ecological crises, and seek to change policies, minds, and practices. Performing Environmentalisms brings together a set of essays that focus on genres and practices of expressive culture—songs, stories, handicrafts, and ritual and activist practices—as these are employed to come to grips with ecological change, and in doing so, argues for performing environmentalisms as a valuable perspective on ecological change and environmental crisis in the Anthropocene. The book consists of a substantial introduction, laying the foundation for thinking about expressive culture as an instrument of environmental discourse, followed by essays grouped into three sections: Perspectives on Diverse Environmentalisms, Performing the Sacred, and Environmental Attachments; a thoughtful afterword by Eduardo Brondizio locates Performing Environmentalisms as a welcome contribution toward a holistic approach to environmental issues.

Nagar, Richa. Hungry Translations. University of Illinois Press, 2019. http://dx.doi.org/10.5622/illinois/9780252042577.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
The dominant landscape of knowledge and policy rests on a fundamental inequality: bodies who are seen as hungry are deemed available for the interventions of experts, but those experts often obliterate the ways that hungry people actively create politics and knowledge by living dynamic visions of what is ethical and what makes the good life. Hungry Translations approaches this socio-political and epistemic injustice by embodying a radically vulnerable collective praxis of unlearning and relearning that interweaves critical epistemology with critical pedagogy as an ongoing movement of relationships, visions, and modes of being. It argues for an ever-evolving quest that refuses imposed frameworks and that seeks to open up spaces for embracing the serendipitous and the untranslatable in the relation between self and other. Through storytelling, poems, diaries, songs, and play, Nagar theorizes lessons from journeys undertaken with thousands of co-travellers in three interrelated realms of embodied learning: the first comprises Sangtin Kisan Mazdoor Sangathan, a movement of 8000 small farmers and mazdoors working in Sitapur District of Uttar Pradesh. The second sphere involves a partnership with Parakh Theatre to collectively interrogate Hindu Brahmanical patriarchy, casteism, hunger, and death with 20 amateur and professional actors in Mumbai. Third, these interlayered journeys birth "Stories, Bodies, Movements: A Syllabus in Fifteen Acts," a course that grapples with continuous relearning of our worlds by reimagining the classroom through theatre.

Glymph, Thavolia. The Women's Fight. University of North Carolina Press, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.5149/northcarolina/9781469653631.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
Historians of the Civil War often speak of "wars within a war"--the military fight, wartime struggles on the home front, and the political and moral battle to preserve the Union and end slavery. In this broadly conceived book, Thavolia Glymph provides a comprehensive new history of women's roles and lives in the Civil War--North and South, white and black, slave and free--showing how women were essentially and fully engaged in all three arenas. Glymph focuses on the ideas and ideologies that drove women's actions, allegiances, and politics. We encounter women as they stood their ground, moved into each other's territory, sought and found common ground, and fought for vastly different principles. Some women used all the tools and powers they could muster to prevent the radical transformations the war increasingly imposed, some fought with equal might for the same transformations, and other women fought simply to keep the war at bay as they waited for their husbands and sons to return home. Glymph shows how the Civil War exposed as never before the nation's fault lines, not just along race and class lines but also along the ragged boundaries of gender. However, Glymph makes clear that women's experiences were not new to the mid-nineteenth century; rather, many of them drew on memories of previous conflicts, like the American Revolution and the War of 1812, to make sense of the Civil War's disorder and death.

Full textAbstract:
Evangelicalism was the chief factor moulding the theology of most Protestant Dissenting traditions of the nineteenth century, dictating an emphasis on conversions, the cross, the Bible as the supreme source of teaching, and activism which spread the gospel while also relieving the needy. The chapter concentrates on debates about conversion and the cross. It begins by emphasizing that the Enlightenment and above all its principle of rational inquiry was enduringly important to Dissenters. The Enlightenment led some in the Reformed tradition such as Joseph Priestley to question not only creeds but also doctrines central to Christianity, such as the Trinity, while others, such as the Sandemanians, Scotch Baptists, Alexander Campbell’s Restorationists, or the Universalists, privileged the rational exegesis of Scripture over more emotive understandings of faith. In the Calvinist mainstream, though, the Enlightenment created ‘moderate Calvinism’. Beginning with Jonathan Edwards, it emphasized the moral responsibility of the sinner for rejecting the redemption that God had made available and reconciled predestination with the enlightened principle of liberty. As developed by Edwards’s successors, the New England theology became the norm in America and was widely disseminated among British Congregationalists and Baptists. It entailed a judicial or governmental conception of the atonement, in which a just Father was forced to exact the Son’s death for human sinfulness. The argument that this just sacrifice was sufficient to save all broke with the doctrine of the limited atonement and so pushed some higher Calvinists among the Baptists into schism, while, among Presbyterians, Princeton Seminary retained loyal to the doctrine of penal substitution. New England theology was not just resisted but also developed, with ‘New Haven’ theologians such as Nathaniel William Taylor stressing the human component of conversion. If Calvinism became residual in such hands, then Methodists and General and Freewill Baptists had never accepted it. Nonetheless they too gave enlightened accounts of salvation. The chapter dwells on key features of the Enlightenment legacy: a pragmatic attitude to denominational distinctions; an enduring emphasis on the evidences of the Christian faith; sympathy with science, which survived the advent of Darwin; and an optimistic postmillennialism in which material prosperity became the hallmark of the unfolding millennium. Initially challenges to this loose consensus came from premillennial teachers such as Edward Irving or John Nelson Darby, but the most sustained and deep-seated were posed by Romanticism. Romantic theologians such as James Martineau, Horace Bushnell, and Henry Ward Beecher rejected necessarian understandings of the universe and identified faith with interiority. They emphasized the love rather than the justice of God, with some such as the Baptist Samuel Cox embracing universalism. Late nineteenth-century Dissenters followed Anglicans in prioritizing the incarnation over the atonement and experiential over evidential apologetics. One final innovation was the adoption of Albrecht Ritschl’s claim that Jesus had come to found the kingdom of God, which boosted environmental social activism. The shift from Enlightenment to romanticism, which provoked considerable controversy, illustrated how the gospel and culture had been in creative interaction.

Marquardt, Michael, and Peter Loan. The Manager as Mentor. Greenwood Publishing Group, Inc, 2005. http://dx.doi.org/10.5040/9798400681981.
Full textAbstract:
One of the most valuable roles a manager can perform in today's rapidly changing environment is to mentor and inspire the people around them to learn. By nurturing talent, motivating individual development, and encouraging excellence, a manager's mentoring can enhance individual performance and the organization's prospects for success. Mentoring is not an easy skill to develop, and many managers, who may excel at leading or coaching, may be disasters as mentors when it comes to creating a bond and bringing out untapped qualities in others. The Manager as Mentor goes beyond traditional approaches to explore the newest techniques in mentoring and collaboration. Featuring personal development tools, worksheets, and references, The Manager as Mentor will enable managers to bring out the best in themselves, the people they guide, and their organizations. Mentoring is an age-old practice, tracing its roots in ancient Greek folklore to Odysseus' friend, Mentor, whom the Homeric hero entrusted as guide to his son's development. Today, with the ascendance of the knowledge age and the transformation of the workplace into an environment of continual learning, mentoring has emerged as one of the most important and valuable roles a manager can perform. By serving as a role model, providing feedback, nurturing talent, inspiring individual development, and facilitating excellence, a manager's mentoring strengthens relationships within the organization, and ultimately contributes to such critical factors as improved job performance, low turnover, and greater profitability. Mentoring is not an easy skill to attain, however, and many managers who may excel at leading teams or coordinating projects may be disasters as mentors. The Manager as Mentor explores emerging trends and approaches to help managers master the skills of effective mentoring—and enhance themselves, their proteges, and their organizations in the process. Drawing from extensive research, dozens of examples, and their own practical application in training managers around the world, the authors argue that exceptional mentoring skills can be developed. They guide the reader toward understanding the key roles that mentors play and the activities and techniques they can employ for maximum impact. Diagnostic exercises will help readers assess their strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities for development, and create a step-by-step action plan for achieving goals—either individually or in groups. The authors also offer an extensive listing of resources for more in-depth information on various aspects of mentoring, such as problem solving, active listening, and employee advocacy. Ultimately, The Manager as Mentor offers the tools by which managers can promote learning, empowerment, and insight to create vibrant organizational cultures.

Full textAbstract:
What do O. J. Simpson, the Lindbergh baby, and Gary Gilmore have in common? They were all the focus of famous crimes and/or trials in the United States. In this two-volume set, historical and contemporary cases that not only shocked the nation but that also became a part of the popular and legal culture of the United States are discussed in vivid, and sometimes shocking, detail. Each chapter focuses on a different crime or trial and explores the ways in which each became famous in its own time. The fascinating cast of characters, the outrageous crimes, the involvement of the media, the actions of the police, and the trials that often surprised combine to offer here one of the most comprehensive sets of books available on the subject of famous U.S. crimes and trials. The public seems fascinated by crime. News and popular media sources provide a steady diet of stories, footage, and photographs about the misfortunes of others in order to satisfy this appetite. Murder, rape, terrorism, gang-related activities, and other violent crimes are staples. Various crime events are presented in the news every day, but most of what is covered is quickly forgotten. In contrast, some crimes left a lasting impression on the American psyche. Some examples include the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, the bombing of the Murrah building in Oklahoma City, and the September 11th attacks. These events, and other significant cases, are immediately or on reflection talked about as crimes of the century. They earn this title not only because they generate enormous publicity, but because of their impact on American culture: they help define historical eras, influence public opinion about crime, change legal process, and focus concern about important social issues. They seep into many other shared aspects of social life: public conversation, fiction and nonfiction, songs, poems, films, and folk tales. This set focuses on the many crimes of the century of the last 100 years. In vivid detail, each crime is laid out, the investigation is discussed, the media reaction is described, the trial (if there was one) is narrated, the resolution is explored, and the significance of the case in terms of its social, political, popular, and legal relevance is examined. Illustrations and sidebars are scattered throughout to enliven the text; print and electronic resources for further reading and research are offered for those wishing to dig deeper. Cases include the Scopes Monkey trial, Ted Bundy, Timothy McVeigh, O.J. Simpson, Leopold and Loeb, Fatty Arbuckle, Al Capone, JonBenet Ramsey, the Lacy Peterson murder, Abu Ghraib, Columbine and more.
