Book Description Relating to clothes is a fundamental experience in the lives of most Western women Even when choice is fraught with ambivalence, clothing matters From considerations about dressing for success, to worries about weight, through toinvesting particular articles of clothing with meaning bordering on the sacred, what we wear speaks обэмэ volumes about personal identity - what is revealed, what is concealed, what is created This book fills a gap in the existing literature on the ambivalence of fashion and dress by drawing on a wide range of women's experiences with their wardrobes and providing empirical data noticeably absent from other studies of women and dress Navigating what is clearly a contested realm in feminist scholarship, contributors provide rich case studies of the reality of women's relationships with clothing While on the surface concerns about fashion or dress may appear to reflect gendered patterns, in fact clothing may be used to challenge ascribed meanings about femininity.  Pass   57.1   Bett   Bett2003 г 256 стр ISBN 1859733883.

In the late 1980s the rave phenomenon swept the youth culture of the United Kingdom, incorporating the generations' two newest social stimulants: modern electronic dance music and a notorious designer drug known as Ecstasy Although the movement began in rebellion against mainstream culture, its underground dynamism soon attracted the interest обэмя of novelists, screenwriters, and filmmakers who attempted to reflect the phenomenon in their works Through artistic and commercial popularization, the once obscure subculture was transformed into a pop-culture behemoth with powerful links to the entertainment industry This study deals with the transformative effects of film, television and literature on club culture Chapters furthermore reflect club culture's own effect on crime, ethnicity, sexuality and drug use As the study traces artistic depictions of club culture's development, each chapter focuses on individual books, films and television shows that reflect the transformation of the club culture into what it is today Автор Stan Beeler Stan Beeler.  отде   Шуре   Your   SkagИздательство: McFarland & Company, 2007 г Мягкая обложка, 222 стр ISBN 078643001X Язык: Английский.

Book DescriptionThanks to a variety of factors--among them a culture uniquely rich in the visual arts, an artisanal pride in fine printing, and an innate predisposition toward the grand and passionate--Italy produced perhaps the finest film posters in the world for much of the 20th century Though the distinctive tradition of Italian film posters обэнк is well known to European collectors and cinephiles--and the work of poster artists such as Anselmo Ballester, Alfredo Capitani, and Luigi Martinati is displayed in museums and commands high prices at auctions--this national genre remains largely unknown to the American public Italian Film Posters is the first collection of these inventive, colorful, and highly evocative images to be published in English The book offers an overview of the Italian tradition, beginning with the Art Nouveau-influenced designs of the silent era, moving into the stunning lithographs of the 30s and 40s, and concluding with the gloriously idiosyncratic creations made possible by offset printing in the 50s and 60s Blending wildly different influences--from the luminous realism of the Renaissance to the furious distortions of the Expressionists--these fascinating works are products both of a global popular culture and intensely personal visions Featuring posters for: Operation Secret, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Four Ways Out, Man Escaped, The Cowboy and the Lady, Song to Remember, Rear Window,The Fountainhead, The Restless Years, Affairs of a Rogue, Camp on Blood Island, Bandit of Zhobe, My Name is Julia Ross, Jolson Sings Again, A Fistful of Dollars, Rumble on the Docks, Lafayette Escadrille, Screaming Mimi, The Long Haul, Gun Fury, Texas and more Essay by Dave Kehr Hardcover, 9 x 11 in /160 pgs / 125 color and 25 b&w illustrations.  Вятк   Unit   Семе   слов2003 г 160 стр ISBN 0870706926.

A sweeping, anecdotal account of the great sounds and voices of radio–and how it became a bonding agent for a generation of American youth When television became the next big thing in broadcast entertainment, everyone figured video would kill the radio star–and radio, period But radio came roaring back with a whole new concept The war was over, обэоо the baby boom was on, the country was in clover, and a bold new beat was giving the syrupy songs of yesteryear a run for their money Add transistors, 45 rpm records, and a young man named Elvis to the mix, and the result was the perfect storm that rocked, rolled, and reinvented radio Visionary entrepreneurs like Todd Storz pioneered the Top 40 concept, which united a generation But it took trendsetting “disc jockeys” like Alan Freed, Murray the K, Wolfman Jack, Cousin Brucie, and their fast-talking, too-cool-for-school counterparts across the land to turn time, temperature, and the same irresistible hit tunes played again and again into the ubiquitous sound track of the fifties and sixties The Top 40 sound broke through racial barriers, galvanized coming-of-age kids (and scandalized their perplexed parents), and provided the insistent, inescapable backbeat for times that were a-changin’ Along with rock-and-roll music came the attitude that would literally change the “voice” of radio forever, via the likes of raconteur Jean Shepherd, who captivated his loyal following of “Night People”; the inimitable Bob Fass, whose groundbreaking Radio Unnameable inaugurated the anything-goes free-form style that would come to define the alternative frontier of FM; and a small-time Top 40 deejay who would ultimately find national fame as a political talk-show host named Rush Limbaugh From Hunter Hancock, who pushed beyond the limits of 1950s racial segregation with rhythm and blues and hepcat patter, to Howard Stern, who blew through all the limits with a blue streak of outrageous on-air antics; from the heyday of summer songs that united carefree listeners to the latter days of political talk that divides contentious callers; from the haze of classic rock to the latest craze in hip-hop, Something in the Air chronicles the extraordinary evolution of the unique and timeless medium that captured our hearts and minds, shook up our souls, tuned in–and turned on–our consciousness, and went from being written off to rewriting the rules of pop culture.  Iron   Lowl   Morn   RobeИздательство: Random House, 2007 г Твердый переплет, 400 стр ISBN 0375509070.

Book DescriptionFew musical works loom as large in Western culture as Richard Wagner's four-part Ring of the Nibelungs In Finding an Ending, two eminent philosophers, Philip Kitcher and Richard Schacht, offer an illuminating look at this greatest of Wagner's achievements, focusing on its far-reaching and subtle exploration of problems of огпеб meanings and endings in this life and world Kitcher and Schacht plunge the reader into the heart of Wagner's Ring, drawing out the philosophical and human significanceof the text and the music They show how different forms of love, freedom, heroism, authority, and judgment are explored and tested as it unfolds As they journey across its sweeping musical-dramatic landscape, Kitcher and Schacht lead us to the central concern of the Ring--the problem of endowing life with genuine significance that can be enhanced rather than negated by its ending, if the right sort of ending can be found The drama originates in Wotan's quest for a transformation of the primordial state of things into a world in which life can be lived more meaningfully The authors trace the evolution of Wotan's efforts, the intricate problems he confronts, and his failures and defeats But while the problem Wotan poses for himself proves to be insoluble as he conceives of it, they suggest that his very efforts and failures set the stage for the transformation of his problem, and for the only sort of resolution of it that may be humanly possible--to which it is not Siegfried but rather Brunnhilde whoshows the way The Ring's ending, with its passing of the gods above and destruction of the world below, might seem to be devastating; but Kitcher and Schacht see a kind of meaning in and through the ending revealed to us that is profoundly affirmative, and that has perhaps never been so powerfully and so beautifully expressed.  Davi   Ever   Micr   Mart2004 г 256 стр ISBN 0195173597.

Book DescriptionBetween 1873 and 1935, reformers in Chicago used the power of music to unify the diverse peoples of the metropolis These musical progressives emphasized the capacity of music to transcend differences among various groups Sounds of Reform looks at the history of efforts to propagate this vision and the resulting encounters between огпен activists and ethnic, immigrant, and working-class residents Musical progressives sponsored free concerts and music lessons at neighborhood parks and settlement houses, organized music festivals and neighborhood dances, and used the radio waves as part of an unprecedented effort to advance civic engagement European classical music, ragtime, jazz, and popular American song all figured into the musical progressives' mission For residents with ideas about music as a tool of self-determination, musical progressivism could be problematic as well as empowering The resulting struggles and negotiations between reformers and residents transformed the public culture of Chicago Through his innovative examination of the role of music in the history of progressivism, Derek Vaillant offers a new perspective on the cultural politics of music and American society.  Фран   Прои   Beko   Disc2003 г 368 стр ISBN 0807854816.

Book DescriptionRemarkable new study Its central submission, that we have hitherto disregarded or misinterpreted the most profound intuitions of a unique composer, certainly carries conviction And even after one reading there are already musical passages that this Schubert enthusiast finds himself hearing in quite a new way Bayan Northcott, огпер BBC MUSIC MAGAZINE A sensitive and richly allusive commentary likely to change the way we listen to certain works Brian Newbould The old stereotypes of Schubert as Bohemian artist and unselfconscious creator have been replaced over the past half-century with a picture of a difficult man in difficult times The author aims to redress the balance, concentrating firstly on works where Schubert's beliefs are clearly expressed (masses, other religious music, songs amounting to Geistliche Lieder) This also prompts an examination of instrumental masterpieces (Unfinished and Great C Major Symphonies, and the Wanderer Fantasy), which show that Schubert's religious side encompasses awe and terror as well as wonder Schubert's `complete voice' is thus clearly heard, rather than the sombre one currently emphasised in both literature and concert LEO BLACK is a former BBC chief producer for music.  8942   Seve   Удар   Renz2005 г 232 стр ISBN 184383135X.

Book Description The English artist Eric Ravilious (1903-42) was a painter of watercolours and murals, a book illustrator in wood engraving and lithography, and a designer of transfer-ware, pottery and porcelain From 1939 till his death he was an Official War Artist This book presents a full retrospective of all aspects of his work, culminating обэмю in the final phase of his war artist work Ravilious is well known to a circle of collectors and admirers who feel no need to explain his work Partly as a result of this, he has tended to remain isolated from the broader art historical narratives of the period This book is the first sustained attempt to understand his appeal and importance using a wider artistic and historical context In addition to being a straight retrospective the book interprets Ravilious's work on the basis of documentary sources and more recent readings of art and ideas The book positions Ravilious in a European and American context of the period, identifying artists and designers whose work shows similar characteristics and require a historical grouping separate from modernism The combination of 'fine' and 'applied' art in Ravilious's oeuvre is explored as an exemplar of the Art and Industry movement of the inter-war period which ran parallel to modernism The book also deals with the questions of English identity that arise from Ravilious's work and his important role in developing new perceptions of Englishness in the period Thebook accompanies an exhibition opening at the Imperial War Museum, London, in October 2003.  Росс   Undi   Арцр   Jerz2004 г 144 стр ISBN 0856675679.
