THE G

Author: Joe Gioia
File Type: pdf
The American guitar, that lightweight wooden box with a long neck, hourglass figure, and six metal strings, has evolved over five hundred years of social turmoil to become a nearly magical object--the most popular musical instrument in the world. In The Guitar and the New World, Joe Gioia offers a many-limbed social history that is as entertaining as it is informative. After uncovering the immigrant experience of his guitar-making Sicilian great uncle, Gioias investigation stretches from the ancient world to the fateful events of the 1901 Buffalo Pan American Exposition, across Sioux Ghost Dancers and circus Indians, to the lives and works of such celebrated American musicians as Jimmy Rodgers, Charlie Patton, Eddie Lang, and the Carter Family. At the heart of the books portrait of wanderings and legacies is the proposition that Americas idiomatic harmonic forms--mountain music and the blues--share a single root, and that the source of the sad and lonesome sounds central to both is neither Celtic nor African, but truly indigenous--Native American. The case is presented through a wide examination of cultural histories, academic works, and government documents, as well as a close appreciation of recordings made by key rural musicians, black and white, in the 1920s and 30s. The guitar in its many forms has cheered humanity through centuries of upheaval, and The Guitar and the New World offers a new account of this old friend, as well as a transformative look at a hidden chapter of American history.

In his Memoirs Edward Gibbon (1737-94) wrote, It was at Rome, on the 15th of October 1764, as I sat musing amidst the ruins of the Capitol, while the bare-footed friars were singing vespers in the Temple of Jupiter, that the idea of writing the decline and full of the city first started to my mind. But my original plan was circumscribed to the decay of the city rather than of the empire and though my reading and reflections began to point towards that object, some years elapsed, and several avocations intervened, before I was seriously engaged in the execution of that laborious work.[6] Twelve years later, less than five months prior to the time the 13 American colonies issued their Declaration of Independence from Great Britain, Edward Gibbons first volume of the Decline and Fall was published in London.

CRYIN

Author: Kristen E. Cheney
File Type: pdf
The HIVAIDS epidemic in Africa has defined the childhoods of an entire generation. Over the past twenty years, international NGOs and charities have devoted immense attention to the millions of African children orphaned by the disease. But in Crying for Our Elders, anthropologist Kristen E. Cheney argues that these humanitarian groups have misread the orphan crisis. She explains how the global humanitarian focus on orphanhood often elides the social and political circumstances that actually present the greatest adversity to vulnerable childrenin effect deepening the crisis and thereby affecting childrens lives as irrevocably as HIVAIDS itself. Through ethnographic fieldwork and collaborative research with children in Uganda, Cheney traces how the best interest principle that governs childrens rights can stigmatize orphans and leave children in the post-antiretroviral era even more vulnerable to exploitation. She details the dramatic effects this has on traditional family support and child protection and stresses child empowerment over pity. Crying for Our Eldersadvances current discussions on humanitarianism, childrens studies, orphanhood, and kinship. By exploring the unique experience of AIDS orphanhood through the eyes of children, caregivers, and policymakers, Cheney shows that despite the extreme challenges of growing up in the era of HIVAIDS, the post-ARV generation still holds out hope for the future. **

Recognized as one of the most innovative and influential directors of our time, Peter Sellars has produced acclaimedand often controversialversions of many beloved operas and oratorios. He has also collaborated with several composers, including John C. Adams and Kaija Saariaho, to create challenging new operas. The Passions of Peter Sellars follows the development of his style, beginning with his interpretations of the Mozart-Da Ponte operas, proceeding to works for which he assembled the libretti and even the music, and concluding with his celebrated stagings of Bachs passions with the Berlin Philharmonic. Many directors leave the musical aspects of opera entirely to the singers and conductor. Sellars, however, immerses himself in the score, and has created a distinctive visual vocabulary to embody musical gesture on stage, drawing on the energies of the music as he shapes characters, ensemble interaction, and large-scale dramatic trajectories. As a leading scholar of gender and music, and the history of opera, Susan McClary is ideally positioned to illuminate Sellarss goal to address both the social tensions embodied in these operas as well as the spiritual dimensions of operatic performance. McClary considers Sellarss productions of Mozarts Le nozze di Figaro, Don Giovanni, and Cosi fan tutte Handels Theodora Messiaens Saint Francois dAssise John C. Adamss Nixon in China, The Death of Klinghoffer, El Nino, and Doctor Atomic Kaija Saariahos Lamour de loin, La Passion de Simone, and Only the Sound Remains Purcells The Indian Queen and Bachs passions of Saint Matthew and Saint John. Approaching Sellarss theatrical strategies from a musicological perspective, McClary blends insights from theater, film, and literary scholarship to explore the work of one of the most brilliant living interpreters of opera. **About the Author Susan McClary is Professor of Music at Case Western Reserve University.

The Price of Freedom Denied shows that, contrary to popular opinion, ensuring religious freedom for all reduces violent religious persecution and conflict. Others have suggested that restrictions on religion are necessary to maintain order or preserve a peaceful religious homogeneity. Brian J. Grim and Roger Finke show that restricting religious freedoms is associated with higher levels of violent persecution. Relying on a new source of coded data for nearly 200 countries and case studies of six countries, the book offers a global profile of religious freedom and religious persecution. Grim and Finke report that persecution is evident in all regions and is standard fare for many. They also find that religious freedoms are routinely denied and that government and the society at large serve to restrict these freedoms. They conclude that the price of freedom denied is high indeed. **
