Full textAbstract:
L’interrogativo sui possibili punti di contatto tra linguistica e studi letterari torna a più riprese nella discussione internazionale di ambito germanistico. Il volume si inserisce in questo dibattito e, valorizzando le specificità di entrambi i settori di studio, intende contribuire alla ricerca di nuove vie di confronto e di scambio scientifico. Gli otto saggi raccolti in questa miscellanea si caratterizzano per la compenetrazione del punto di vista letterario e linguistico e sviluppano percorsi di analisi nei seguenti campi di ricerca: teoria del comico letterario e dei generi letterari; studi linguistici del testo letterario; lingua come oggetto di analisi letteraria; didattica del tedesco L2 (DaF).

Full textAbstract:
This book is a study of the programmatic oral performance of the written word and its impact on art and text. Communal singing and reading of the Latin texts that formed the core of Christian ritual and belief consumed many hours of the Benedictine monk's day. These texts-read and sung out loud, memorized, and copied into manuscripts-were often illustrated by the very same monks who participated in the choir liturgy. The meaning of these illustrations sometimes only becomes clear when they are read in the context of the texts these monks heard read. The earliest manuscripts of Cîteaux, copied and illuminated at the same time that the new monastery's liturgy was being reformed, demonstrate the transformation of aural experience to visual and textual legacy.

Full textAbstract:
L'attuale crisi finanziaria e la crisi monetaria dell'Unione Europea degli ultimi anni hanno condotto a una serie di studi analitici e altre pubblicazioni con un quadro di riferimento storico che, tuttavia, raramente va oltre il XIX e il XX secolo. Studi analoghi che si occupano di crisi finanziarie in tempi premoderni sono rari, tanto più quando si tratta di strategie di gestione delle crisi, delle conseguenze sociali e dello sfondo di queste crisi. Il volume si articola dunque intorno a questi temi principali: l’analisi delle crisi finanziarie, il ruolo dei (re)attori, la gestione delle crisi e il ruolo delle istituzioni. Sono qui presentati i risultati di ricerca del progetto bandito dalla Fondazione Istituto di Storia Economica “F. Datini” nel 2013 che si era posto come obiettivo, partendo da un approccio teorico sulle cause e i percorsi delle crisi finanziarie e le loro conseguenze economiche e sociali nel contesto dello sviluppo economico, quello di dimostrare o negare la significatività delle "teorie sulle crisi" del periodo pre-industriale. Se le conseguenze economiche delle crisi finanziarie sono ben note (i fallimenti delle imprese, le crisi commerciali e la depressione, le inadempienze e i crolli nelle reti dei pagamenti senza contanti, e la loro influenza sull’intero ciclo economico delle economie prese in considerazione), più sfumata risulta la visione del comportamento dell'individuo, o dell’intera società, che agisce economicamente in tempi di crisi finanziaria. Negli ultimi anni, il dibattito scientifico si è concentrato sulla questione di come agiscono o reagiscono gli homines oeconomici durante le crisi finanziarie. Dal punto di vista di casi studio del periodo pre-industriale, diventa chiaro che il ruolo dell'individuo è sostanzialmente più importante e grave sia per l’occorrenza della crisi sia per i tentativi di superarla, più di quanto appaia (ammesso che appaia) da ricerche precedenti. Infine, i contributi hanno indagato sulla gestione delle crisi in tempi di turbolenze finanziarie. L'analisi della gestione delle crisi in epoca pre-industriale può costituire infatti un essenziale passo avanti nella nostra comprensione della gestione della crisi attuale.

Full textAbstract:
Chapter 8 demonstrates the ways in which ideological constraints in studio-era Hollywood shaped the aesthetic properties of an entire body of crime films, now commonly known as film noir. The ideological restrictions of the Production Code Administration posed creative problems that noir filmmakers solved through visual and narrative contortion. The contortions created challenges for audiences, who had to decode and make sense of films that may not show complete clarity or coherence in their storytelling. Film noir remains aesthetically engaging because it operates near the boundaries of classicism without sacrificing classical Hollywood’s accessibility and formal unity.

Full textAbstract:
Rather than define images as coded forms of visual information, this chapter seeks to describe their capacity for action on human viewers, seeing them as agents, and exploring how best to study their animation. Reviewing recent directions in the study of images, the chapter frames the power of images to enchant within the history of images acting on viewers as visual devices or technologies. The work of Gell and Latour is most helpful. In this chapter, we come to see images as the product of culture and nature. They metamorphose from one to the other, and because they do, they exert power over us.

Full textAbstract:
How can verbal-cued poetry be “visual,” “pictorial,” and “vivid”? This chapter aims at looking behind such notions by isolating the basic semiotic mechanisms of vision, picture-viewing, and mental imagery and provides a descriptive model to investigate (1) the semiotic dimension of verbal imagery with respect to its visual and pictorial character and (2) its relationship to the reader’s experience of mental imagery. Through exemplary analyses of visual poetry, onomatopoeia, figurative language, the historical present, and ekphrastic descriptions, it is shown that the literary core concepts of “visuality,” “pictoriality,” and “vividness” refer to surface phenomena that are not directly linked to the phenomenal experience of visual perception and image likeness. The results are discussed against the background of recent neurocognitive studies, leading to the conclusion that such notions should be given up in favor of a general model of representation in terms of poetic iconicity.

Full textAbstract:
This volume draws upon art historical, anthropological, and religious studies methodologies to delineate the structures and details of late Burmese wall paintings and elucidate the religious, political, and social concepts driving the creation of this art form. The combination of architecture, paintings, sculpture, and literary traditions created a complete space in which devotees could interact with the Buddha through his biography. Through the standardization of a repertoire of specific forms, codes, and themes, the murals were themselves activating agents, spurring devotees to merit-making, worship, and other ritual practices, partially by establishing normative religious behavior and partly through visual incentives. Much of this was accomplished through the manipulation of space, and the volume contributes to the analysis of visual narratives by examining how the relationships between word and image, layouts, story and scene selection, and narrative themes both demonstrate and confirm social structures and changes, economic activities, and religious practices of seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth century Burma. The visual material of the wall painting sites worked together with the sculpture and the architecture to create unified spaces in which devotees could interact with the Buddha. This analysis takes the narrative field beyond the concept that pictures are to be “read” and shows the multifarious and holistic ways in which they can be viewed. To enter temples of the seventeenth, eighteenth, and early nineteenth centuries was to enter a coherent space created by a visually articulated Burmese Buddhist world to which the devotee belonged by performing ritual activities within it.

Full textAbstract:
The book addresses quantity and scale in contemporary visual culture and photography. It takes the problem of quantity as a theoretical issue that changes the premises of visual analysis. It focuses on the logic and rhetoric behind the arguments by numbers, growth, and tipping points, while recognising that photography has been characterized in quantitative terms since its invention and concerns regarding information overload accompanied the discourse around many earlier technological innovations. Investigating historical trajectories and different modes of reasoning provides a critical framework for contemporary discourses from accelerationism to technological singularity to big data analysis in cultural analytics. The chapters in this edited collection address core areas in photographic theory and its overlap with media and digital culture studies, and as such work across an interdisciplinary area. The texts stem from different theoretical directions with the shared brief to address the question how do we conceptualise photography in the age of the mass image, and how does the quantity of images present a qualitative problem for academic analysis of visual culture.

Elsner, Jaś, ed. Landscape and Space. Oxford University Press, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780192845955.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
This volume addresses a subject central to both world archaeology and trans-cultural art history. Landscape has been a key theme in the last half-century at least in both disciplines, particularly in the study of painting in art history and in all questions of human intervention and the placement of monuments in the natural world, within archaeology. However, the representation of landscape has been rather less addressed in the scholarship of the archaeologically accessed visual cultures of the ancient world. The kinds of reliefs, objects, and paintings discussed have a significant purchase on matters concerned with landscape and space in the visual sphere but were discovered within archaeological contexts and by means of excavation. Through case studies focused on the invention of wilderness imagery in ancient China, the relation of monuments to landscape in ancient Greece, the place of landscape painting in Mesoamerican Maya art and the construction of sacred landscape across Eurasia between Stonehenge and the Silk Road via Pompeii, this book emphasizes the importance of thinking about models of landscape in ancient art and also the value of comparative approaches in underlining core aspects of the topic. Notably it focuses on questions of space, both actual and conceptual, including how space is configured through form and representation.

Full textAbstract:
This is a study of two major Umayyad Qur’an manuscripts: the Codex of Fustat and Codex of Damascus, which survive as fragments scattered between different collections. The growing formality represented by their script, their degree of orthographic notation, the approach of their scribes to layout, and the varying quality of their illumination will be analyzed, serving as a basis for a reflection about the processes that led to their production at both the levels of scribes and patrons. The new form given to manuscripts of the Qur’an in this period, it will be argued, reflects emerging concerns about its visual and aesthetical dimensions, but also a drive towards increased control by the authorities over the Qur’anic text and its transmission.

International law textbooks, casebooks and manuals are important to study as they help to reveal how international law is understood, found, and interpreted by the current generation of international lawyers in a particular state and how this conventional wisdom is passed on to the next generation. These books play a significant socializing role in shaping international lawyers’ knowledge of which issues are core, which sources are important, which debates are controversial, which norms are settled, and who and what the leading authorities are. This chapter compares the books that are used to teach international law in the five permanent members of the Security Council. Using case studies (e.g., humanitarian intervention and state sovereignty) and visual representations (e.g., citation patterns of case law), this chapter sheds light on how nationalized, denationalized, and westernized the books from these states are in terms of their substance, sources, and approaches.

The country music variety show Hee Haw simultaneously hearkened back to radio era precedents and embraced cutting edge production and editing techniques. This chapter situates Hee Haw’s 1969 debut among earliest examples of televised country music that merely added visual components to radio formats, followed by sitcoms like the Andy Griffith Show or Beverly Hillbillies that used country music for added color and bumpkin humor. Hee Haw embraced a rapid-fire, nonnarrative, “postmodern” aesthetic directly inspired by its predecessor, Laugh-In. Distinct from contemporary variety programs hosted by Johnny Cash or Glen Campbell, Hee-Haw taped in a studio with no live audience and efficiently pieced together its season via computerized, time-coded editing. Perpetuating comedic hillbilly stereotypes yet with a winking, tongue-in-cheek sense of sophistication, Hee Haw was purged from the CBS network in 1971 and continued production of new seasons via syndication until 1992.

Full textAbstract:
This volume makes an intervention in the fields of film studies and visual culture by examining projection as a pivotal element in the continuing technological becoming of media systems. The chapters come together to paint a picture of projection that incorporates a range of practices across time and space. From studies of travelling projectionists in early twentieth-century Scotland and modern-day Uruguay to considerations of the (almost) lost mediums of the slide-tape and the magic lantern, the authors invite us to consider the varied nature of the technologies, apparatuses, practices, and histories of projection in a holistic manner. In doing so, the volume departs from the psychological metaphors of projection often employed by apparatus theory, instead emphasizing the performative character of the moving image and the labour of the various actors involved in the utterance of such texts.

Full textAbstract:
Although conventional studies look to the earliest surviving vampire film, Prana-Films’ Nosferatu (1922) as source for visual codes and narrative conventions in Hollywood vampire media, this chapter locates them in segregation comedies, immigration romances, and miscegenation melodramas. These films establish conventions that facilitate or inhibit foreigners being americanized. Since citizenship for women was derivative from fathers or husbands, foreign women were considered less threatening. Consequently, male immigrants in Edison Company shorts (1895–1896), industrial and state recruitment films, and commercial entertainments, such as Alice Guy-Blaché’s Making an American Citizen (1912), Cecil B. DeMille’s The Cheat (1915), D.W. Griffith’s Broken Blossoms (1919), and George Melford’s The Sheik (1921), serve as cinematic prototypes for classical Hollywood’s vampires. Within these narratives of americanizing foreigners, the afterlives of race emerge in relation to sex and nativity around issues of universal citizenship and sovereign territory.

Full textAbstract:
This book examines different kinds of analogies, mutual influences, integrations, and collaborations of the audio and the visual in different art forms. The contributions, written by key theoreticians and practitioners, represent state-of-the-art case studies in contemporary art, integrating music, sound, and image with key figure of modern thinking constitute a foundation for the discussion. It thus emphasizes avant-garde and experimental tendencies, while analyzing them in historical, theoretical, and critical frameworks. The book is organized around three core subjects, each of which constitutes one section of the book. The first concentrates on the interaction between seeing and hearing. Examples of classic and digital animation, video art, choreography, and music performance, which are motivated by the issue of eye versus ear perception are examined in this section. The second section explores experimental forms emanating from the expansion of the concepts of music and space to include environmental sounds, vibrating frequencies, language, human habitats, the human body, and more. The reader will find here an analysis of different manifestations of this aesthetic shift in sound art, fine art, contemporary dance, multimedia theatre, and cinema. The last section shows how the new light shed by modernism on the performative aspect of music has led it—together with sound, voice, and text—to become active in new ways in postmodern and contemporary art creation. In addition to examples of real-time performing arts such as music theatre, experimental theatre, and dance, it includes case studies that demonstrate performativity in visual poetry, short film, and cinema.

Crawford, Matthew R. The Eusebian Canon Tables. Oxford University Press, 2019. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198802600.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
A central book in late antique religious life was the four-gospel codex—a manuscript containing the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—and one of the most common features of such manuscripts is a marginal cross-referencing system known as the Canon Tables. This reading aid, invented in the early fourth century by Eusebius of Caesarea, represented a milestone achievement both in the history of the book and in the scholarly study of the fourfold gospel. The present monograph is the first ever book-length treatment of the origins and use of the Canon Tables apparatus in any language. Part one begins by defining the Canon Tables as a paratextual device that orders the textual content of the fourfold gospel; then considers the relation of the system to the prior work of Ammonius of Alexandria and the hermeneutical implications of its use. Part two examines the paratext’s reception in subsequent centuries by highlighting four case studies from different cultural and theological traditions, from Augustine of Hippo to a Syriac translator in the fifth century, to later monastic scholars in Ireland. Finally, from the eighth century onwards, Armenian scholars used the artistic adornment of the Canon Tables as a basis for contemplative meditation. These case studies represent four different modes of using the Canon Tables as a paratext and so illustrate the potential inherent in the Eusebian apparatus for engaging with the fourfold gospel in a variety of ways, from the literary to the theological to the visual.

Full textAbstract:
The First Chapters uncovers the origins of the first paragraph or chapter divisions made by scribes in copies of the Christian Scriptures. It takes as its main point of departure the magnificent, fourth-century Codex Vaticanus (Vat.gr. 1209; B 03), perhaps the single most significant ancient manuscript of the Bible, and the oldest material witness to the first large-scale attempt to equip the books of Scripture with numbered chapter divisions. The First Chapters sketches the history of textual division, starting from when copies of Greek literary works offered virtually no spaces, marks, or other graphic techniques to help the reader along. It explores the origins of others numbered systems, like the better-known Eusebian Canon Tables, but its focus is on the early set of numbered divisions in Codex Vaticanus, what nineteenth-century textual critic Samuel P. Tregelles labelled the Capitulatio Vaticana. It establishes, against the tide of prevailing opinion, that these numbers were not late additions to the codex but belonged integrally to its original production. It then breaks new ground by demonstrating that the Capitulatio Vaticana has precursors in the unnumbered divisions of some much earlier manuscripts. This study is thus able to shine a light on a long, continuous tradition of scribally placed, visual guides to the reading and interpreting of Scripture. Finally, The First Chapters exposes abundant new evidence that this early system for dividing the text of Scripture played a much greater role in the history of exegesis than has previously been recognized.

Full textAbstract:
In Nature's Wild, Andil Gosine engages with questions of humanism, queer theory, and animality to examine and revise understandings of queer desire in the Caribbean. Surveying colonial law, visual art practices, and contemporary activism, Gosine shows how the very concept of homosexuality in the Caribbean (and in the Americas more broadly) has been overdetermined by a colonially influenced human/animal divide. Gosine refutes this presupposed binary and embraces animality through a series of case studies: a homoerotic game called puhngah, the institution of gender-based dress codes in Guyana, and efforts toward the decriminalization of sodomy in Trinidad and Tobago—including the work of famed activist Colin Robinson, paintings of human animality by Guadeloupean artist Kelly Sinnapah Mary, and Gosine's own artistic practice. In so doing, he troubles the ways in which individual and collective anxieties about “wild natures” have shaped the existence of Caribbean people while calling for a reassessment of what political liberation might look like. >Duke University Press Scholars of Color First Book Award recipient

Full textAbstract:
Migrations in Late Mesoamerica gathers scholars from different disciplines to address the role of migration during the most tumultuous centuries of Mesoamerican prehistory (A.D. 500–1500). Ethnohistoric, linguistic, biological, and archaeological data coupled with visual imagery and hieroglyphic texts associate the final millennium of Mesoamerican prehistory with the political, economic, and social changes that often unmoored populations from ancestral lands. Independent investigations into these topics have repeatedly discerned the movement of social groups at their core, but migration itself has rarely been the central focus of theoretical analysis. The ongoing rehabilitation of migration as a subject for study now allows prehistorians to re-examine its relationship to other areas of social life. An introductory chapter isolates characteristics of migration that distinguish it from other forms of human mobility, and it argues that migration must be analyzed in conjunction with the other social processes in which it is embedded. Select representatives from archaeology, biological anthropology, linguistics, ethnohistory, epigraphy, and art history present contributions on migration dynamics, causes and impacts, indigenous perceptions of migration, and the methods and assumptions we use when identifying or analyzing our specific cases.

Full textAbstract:
This book is designed to support K–5 classroom teachers as they integrate music throughout the elementary curriculum. It contains detailed, practical ideas and examples, including full lesson plans and over a hundred teaching ideas and strategies for integrating music with visual art, language arts, social studies, science, and mathematics. Following an overview of the interdisciplinary approach, the remaining chapters explore connections between music and other areas of the elementary curriculum. Each chapter also includes a section addressing national standards with tables showing the specific standards that are included in each lesson and activity. This text utilizes the most recent National Core Arts Standards (2015) as well as the most recent standards in language arts, social studies, science, and mathematics. All the lessons in this book are designed to be fully taught by classroom teachers; the content is accessible to those who lack formal music training, yet is solidly rooted in research and best practices. While classroom teachers can teach these lessons on their own, this book may facilitate partnerships and collaboration between classroom teachers and music specialists. All the lessons and activities included in this text have been reviewed by practicing teachers, and most have been field-tested in elementary classrooms. Throughout the book, there is an emphasis on interdisciplinary lessons that demonstrate valid connections between disciplines while maintaining the integrity of each discipline involved. The text also includes a model that allows teachers to successfully create their own interdisciplinary lessons.

Full textAbstract:
Many studies of the monster and monstrosity have focused on women, and most do so (at least in part) in relation to some type of visual culture. However, few have examined the appearance of monstrous women in comics in particular. Like horror films, sequential art has an abundance of monsters and fantastical beings. No less important to this volume than the sheer abundance of monsters within comics is the fact that they are often marked by gender, race, and disability in complex ways. Each chapter provides a text-critical analysis of a particular (or perhaps several) comic, manga, or graphic novel in order to ask how the monster makes meaning within the text(s) and, what it means for the monster to be coded as a woman. Further, building on the work of monster studies scholars, such as Jeffrey Jerome Cohen, Barbara Creed, Margrit Shildrick, and Julia Kristeva, each author also reflects on the various ways their analysis of the comic, and the meaning made by the monstrous woman therein, connects to the broader cultural context in question. In order to further converse with existing scholarship on monsters, on gender, and to further enable dialogue between chapters, this book is organized along a number of common themes: power, embodiment, child-bearing, childhood, and performance. Women are often called monsters. With this collection, authors use comics to try to figure out what that monstrosity means and what women, scholars, and comics have done and should do about it.

Full textAbstract:
A vent’anni dall’avvio della riforma strutturale degli anni Novanta, il presente studio indaga le peculiarità regolative delle questioni di salute del dipendente nel rapporto di lavoro pubblico c.d. “privatizzato”. Non limitata ad un unico istituto identificato secondo le classificazioni tradizionali, la trattazione considera plurimi versanti disciplinari, afferenti alle fasi di costituzione, svolgimento ed estinzione del rapporto lavorativo, dando conto anche delle interferenze con il sistema previdenziale. Rispetto alle questioni giuridiche relative alla malattia, all’inidoneità alle mansioni, alla disabilità ed alla riduzione di capacità lavorativa causata dalla senescenza, l’analisi assume come concetto unificante quello della “idoneità” del dipendente pubblico al lavoro, intesa dal punto di vista dell’interesse datoriale all’adempimento e, al contempo, sotto il profilo della protezione della persona. Detti versanti sono ricondotti a una visione d’insieme che valorizza l’effettività della condizione psicofisica del dipendente quale presupposto delle tutele giuridiche. Nella complessità regolativa del lavoro pubblico, i profili esaminati risultano oggetto di una considerazione peculiare da parte del legislatore, più spiccata di quella, comunque crescente, riservata in generale alle implicazioni lavoristiche della condizione di salute delle persone.

Full textAbstract:
The tawny frogmouth is both intriguing and endearing. In this new book, well-known author Gisela Kaplan presents us with an easy-to-read account of these unique nocturnal birds of the Australian bush.
This detailed account of life, behaviour and biology of tawny frogmouths is based on the most comprehensive single study ever conducted on tawny frogmouths, including wild and hand-raised birds. It combines ten years of systematic observation with published research to take us across a surprising range of characteristics and special features of this unusual bird. This book also notes insights derived from specific regional bird fauna surveys across Australia.
We are shown this captivating Australian species in completely new and even unexpected ways. We learn that tawny frogmouths are very affectionate, have close bonds with lifelong partners, scream like prowling tomcats when distressed, fight with lightning speed and defend nest sites from reptilian predators by mobbing and spraying pungent faeces at these dangerous opponents. Uncompromising male fights are contrasted with a touching gentleness of males as fathers.
We also learn how resilient and unusual tawny frogmouths are in the way they cope with heat and cold, sit out danger, do without drinking for most of their lives, and can use a large variety of food items.
The developmental stages of nestlings and juveniles are illustrated with a number of stunning visual images accompanying the text, most of which have never before been described or seen.

Full textAbstract:
Bringing together contributions from legal scholars and practitioners, this book contributes to a broader reflection on the extent to which policy controversies on humanitarian admission to Europe are channeled and managed through law. The book is divided into four parts. The first part identifies the international and European legal obligations that are binding on both the EU and the Member States, and the constraints they impose – potentially and actually – when dealing with migrants who are outside EU territory. The second part studies the legal framework of humanitarian admission in three Member States (Germany, Italy and Belgium), as well as the related procedures and practices. The third part focuses on the experiences of those seeking humanitarian admission, including how they mobilize the law to obtain legal access to Europe. It presents the results of ethnographic fieldwork conducted among refugees in a refugee camp in Uganda who are seeking resettlement, as well as the testimony of the lawyer who defended a Syrian family applying for a humanitarian visa in Belgium in a landmark case that was litigated before the CJEU (X. and X. v. Belgium). The fourth part discusses the prospects for future developments in the EU legal and policy framework, including attempts at reforming the EU Visa Code and establishing a Union resettlement framework. The book is edited by Marie-Claire Foblets and Luc Leboeuf, both from the Department of Law and Anthropology of the Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology.

Full textAbstract:
Is International Law International? takes the reader on a sweeping tour of the international legal academy to reveal some of the patterns of difference, dominance, and disruption that belie international law’s claim to universality. Both revealing and challenging, confronting and engaging, this book is a must-read for any international lawyer, particularly in a world of shifting geopolitical power. Pulling back the curtain on the “divisible college of international lawyers,” the author shows how international lawyers in different states, regions, and geopolitical groupings are often subject to differences in their incoming influences and outgoing spheres of influence in ways that affect how they understand and approach international law, including with respect to contemporary controversies like Crimea and the South China Sea. Using case studies and visual representations, the author demonstrates how actors and materials from some states and groups have come to dominate certain transnational flows and forums in ways that make them disproportionately influential in constructing the “international”—a point which holds true for Western actors, materials, and approaches in general, and Anglo-American ones in particular. But these patterns are set for disruption. As the world moves past an era of Western dominance and toward greater multipolarity, it is imperative for international lawyers to understand the perspectives of those coming from diverse backgrounds. By taking readers on a comparative tour of different international law academies and textbooks, the author encourages international lawyers to see the world through others’ eyes—an approach that is pressing in a world of rising nationalism.

Full textAbstract:
Flaming?: The Peculiar Theopolitics of Fire and Desire in Black Male Gospel Performance examines the rituals and social interactions of African American men who use gospel music-making as a means of worshiping God and performing gendered identities. Prompted by the popular term “flaming” that is used to identify over-the-top or peculiar performance of identity, Flaming? argues that these men wield and interweave a variety of multivalent aural-visual cues, including vocal style, gesture, attire, and homiletics, to position themselves along a spectrum of gender identities. These multisensory enactments empower artists (i.e., “peculiar people”) to demonstrate modes of “competence” that affirm their fitness to minister through speech and song. Through a progression of transcongregational case studies, Flaming? observes the ways in which African American men traverse tightly knit social networks to negotiate their identities through and beyond the worship experience. Coded and “read” as either hypermasculine, queer, or sexually ambiguous, peculiar gospel performances are often a locus of nuanced protest, facilitating a critique of heteronormative theology while affording African American men opportunities for greater visibility and access to leadership. Same-sex relationships among men constitute an open secret that is carefully guarded by those who elect to remain silent in the face of traditional theology, but musically performed by those compelled to worship “in Spirit and in truth.” This book thus examines the performative mechanisms through which black men acquire an aura of sexual ambiguity, exhibit an ostensible absence of sexual preference, and thereby gain social and ritual prestige in gospel music circles.

Full textAbstract:
This volume offers new ways to read the audiovisual. In the media landscapes of today, conglomerates jockey for primacy and the Internet increasingly places media in the hands of individuals-producing the range of phenomena from movie blockbuster to YouTube aesthetics. Media forms and genres are proliferating and interpenetrating, from movies, music, and other entertainments streaming on computers and iPods to video games and wireless phones. The audiovisual environment of everyday life, too-from street to stadium to classroom-would at times be hardly recognizable to the mid-twentieth-century subject. The Oxford Handbook of New Audiovisual Aesthetics provides powerful ways to understand these changes. Earlier approaches tended to consider sound and music as secondary to image and narrative. These remained popular even as practices from theater, cinema, and television migrated across media. However, the traversal, or “remediation,” from one medium to another has also provided practitioners and audiences the chance to rewrite the rules of the audiovisual contract. Whether viewed from the vantage of televised mainstream culture, the Hollywood film industry, the cinematic avant-garde, or the participatory discourses of “cyberspace,” audiovisual expression has changed dramatically. The book provides a definitive cross-section of current ways of thinking about sound and image. Its authors-leading scholars and promising younger ones, audiovisual practitioners and nonacademic writers (both mainstream and independent)-open the discussion on audiovisual aesthetics in new directions. Our contributors come from fields including film, visual arts, new media, cultural theory, and sound and music studies, and they draw variously from economic, political, institutional, psychoanalytic, genre-based, auteurist, internationalist, reception-focused, technological, and cultural approaches to questions concerning today’s sound and image. All consider the aural dimension, and what Michel Chion calls “audio-vision:” the sensory and semiotic result of sound placed with vision, an encounter greater than their sum.
