Download or read book One More Revolution written by Andrea Mazzariello and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Literary Nonfiction. Music. Hybrid Genre. ONE MORE REVOLUTION writes through the intimate, personal practice of listening to music, of living with music. Beginning with self-interrogation into the author's growing obsession with collecting vinyl records, the narrative spins out into a meditation on how we come to know the music we love, how voices from the past animate and complicate that knowing, and how the ways we consume music tell a deeper story about the ways that music means. Somewhere between memoir and theory, this book demonstrates that personal revelations can animate the work of analysis, that a poetic voice can make a formal claim, and ultimately, that language can articulate the ways that music moves us. "In our current culture, I have noticed there are many writers who can wax extensively about what music means to them and to others within a social context, but who lack a deep understanding of how music really works as a craft and a means of making structures. On the other hand, there are many others with extensive technical training who struggle to make their writing seem relevant to the way most ordinary people experience music. "In this book, Andrea Mazzariello has wrestled to address both of these poles of concern, and to me it feels incredibly fresh. As I read his first few chapters, I thought to myself 'yes, this is how music lives in both your body and your mind.'... Mazzariello strives to remain radically vulnerable to the ways in which music can surprise even the most educated listener. The simplicity of this perspective is disarming because his erudition is evident. This reflects perfectly what it is like to know him in real life, and now we can all be richer for it."--Adam Sliwinski "Writing about Mazzariello's book is a bit like writing about music; it is elusive, yet clearly communicates; it is in our hands, not so unlike an LP, and we can feel its contents, believe that we can own it, but it slips through our fingers like sand, leaving a textured impression. And, as with our experiences with music, we learn and grow and feel through its embrace. This is poetic, personal, and full of humanity, it is beautifully written, warm, but with sharp edges, not so unlike the combination of vinyl and diamond-tipped needles that, together, bring 'the music itself' to us, with the aid of our ever-learning hands. It is a love song, indeed, for all of us who love music."--Dan Trueman "A kaleidoscopic blend of ethnomusicology, memoir, philosophy, and poetry, this lyrically soaring meditation on music and identity invites us to reflect, ever so gently, on the ways and reasons we engage with music, love it deeply, and strive endlessly to grok its ineffability with words. Mazzariello's words, chosen with insight, elegance, and grit, add to this human endeavor with unique and unforgettable illumination."--Sarah Kirkland Snider

Download or read book The Song Poet written by Kao Kalia Yang and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2016-05-10 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author of The Latehomecomer, a powerful memoir of her father, a Hmong song poet who sacrificed his gift for his children's future in America In the Hmong tradition, the song poet recounts the story of his people, their history and tragedies, joys and losses; extemporizing or drawing on folk tales, he keeps the past alive, invokes the spirits and the homeland, and records courtships, births, weddings, and wishes. Following her award-winning book The Latehomecomer, Kao Kalia Yang now retells the life of her father Bee Yang, the song poet, a Hmong refugee in Minnesota, driven from the mountains of Laos by American's Secret War. Bee lost his father as a young boy and keenly felt his orphanhood. He would wander from one neighbor to the next, collecting the things they said to each other, whispering the words to himself at night until, one day, a song was born. Bee sings the life of his people through the war-torn jungle and a Thai refugee camp. But the songs fall away in the cold, bitter world of a Minneapolis housing project and on the factory floor until, with the death of Bee's mother, the songs leave him for good. But before they do, Bee, with his poetry, has polished a life of poverty for his children, burnished their grim reality so that they might shine. Written with the exquisite beauty for which Kao Kalia Yang is renowned, The Song Poet is a love story -- of a daughter for her father, a father for his children, a people for their land, their traditions, and all that they have lost.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In search of a place to call home, thousands of Hmong families made the journey from the war-torn jungles of Laos to the overcrowded refugee camps of Thailand and onward to America. But lacking a written language of their own, the Hmong experience has been primarily recorded by others. Driven to tell her family’s story after her grandmother’s death, The Latehomecomer is Kao Kalia Yang’s tribute to the remarkable woman whose spirit held them all together. It is also an eloquent, firsthand account of a people who have worked hard to make their voices heard. Beginning in the 1970s, as the Hmong were being massacred for their collaboration with the United States during the Vietnam War, Yang recounts the harrowing story of her family’s captivity, the daring rescue undertaken by her father and uncles, and their narrow escape into Thailand where Yang was born in the Ban Vinai Refugee Camp. When she was six years old, Yang’s family immigrated to America, and she evocatively captures the challenges of adapting to a new place and a new language. Through her words, the dreams, wisdom, and traditions passed down from her grandmother and shared by an entire community have finally found a voice. Together with her sister, Kao Kalia Yang is the founder of a company dedicated to helping immigrants with writing, translating, and business services. A graduate of Carleton College and Columbia University, Yang has recently screened The Place Where We Were Born, a film documenting the experiences of Hmong American refugees.

Download or read book Adaptations of Mental and Cognitive Disability in Popular Media written by Whitney Hardin and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2022-03-31 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examining representations of mental difference, this collection focuses on the ways that adaptations (including remakes, reboots, and other examples of remixed narratives) can shape and shift the social contexts and narratives we use to define mental disability. The movement of narratives across media via adaptation, or within media but across time and space in the case of remakes and reboots, is a common tactic for revitalization, allowing storytellers to breathe new life into tired narratives, remedying past inaccuracies and making them accessible and relevant for contemporary audiences. Thus, this collection argues that adaptation provides a useful tool for examining the constraints or opportunities different media impose on or afford narratives, or for measuring shifts in ideology as narratives move across cultures or through time. Further, narrative functions within this collection as a framework for examining the ways that popular media exerts rhetorical power, allowing for deeper understandings of the ways that mental disability is experienced by differently situated individuals, and revealing relationships with broader social narratives that attempt to push definitions of disability onto them.
