This book was released on 2013-06-15 with total page 1093 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first volume of the book series Ottoman Empire and European Theatre focuses on the period between 1756 and 1808, the era of W. A. Mozart (1756-1791) and Sultan Selim III (1761-1808). These historical personalities, whose life-spans overlap, were towering figures of their time: Mozart as an extraordinary composer and Selim III as both a politician and a composer. Inspired by the structure of opera, the forty-four contributions of Volume I are arranged in eight sections, entitled Ouverture, Prologue, Acts I-V and Epilogue. The Ouverture includes the opening speeches of diplomats, politicians, and scholars as well as a memorial text for the "Genius of Opera", Turkish prima donna Leyla Gencer (1928-2008). The Prologue, "The Stage of Politics", features texts by distinguished historians who give an historical overview of the Ottoman Empire and Europe in the late eighteenth century, from both Turkish and Austrian points of view. Act I features texts concerning "Diplomacy and Theatre", and Act II takes the reader to "Europe South, West and North". Act III has contributions concerning theatre in "Central Europe", while Act IV deals with "Mozart" and the world of the seraglio. Act V turns our attention to the Ottoman "Sultan Selim III", and the Epilogue considers literary and theatrical adventures of "The Hero in the Sultan's Harem".

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While European powers were at war with the Ottoman Empire for much of the eighteenth century, European opera houses were staging operas featuring singing sultans and pashas surrounded by their musical courts and harems. Mozart wrote The Abduction from the Seraglio. Rossini created a series of works, including The Italian Girl in Algiers. And these are only the best known of a vast repertory. This book explores how these representations of the Muslim Ottoman Empire, the great nemesis of Christian Europe, became so popular in the opera house and what they illustrate about European–Ottoman international relations. After Christian armies defeated the Ottomans at Vienna in 1683, the Turks no longer seemed as threatening. Europeans increasingly understood that Turkish issues were also European issues, and the political absolutism of the sultan in Istanbul was relevant for thinking about politics in Europe, from the reign of Louis XIV to the age of Napoleon. While Christian European composers and publics recognized that Muslim Turks were, to some degree, different from themselves, this difference was sometimes seen as a matter of exotic costume and setting. The singing Turks of the stage expressed strong political perspectives and human emotions that European audiences could recognize as their own.

Download or read book Opera on Stage written by Lorenzo Bianconi and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2002-07 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The History of Italian Opera marks the first time a team of expert scholars has worked together to investigate the Italian operatic tradition in its entirety, rather than limiting its focus to individual eras or major composers and their masterworks. Including both musicologists and historians of other arts, the contributors approach opera not only as a distinctive musical genre but also as a form of extravagant theater and a complex social phenomenon-resulting in the sort of panoramic view critical to a deep and fruitful understanding of the art. Opera on Stage, the second book of this multi-volume work to be published in English-in an expanded and updated version-focuses on staging and viewing Italian opera, from the court spectacles of the late sixteenth century to modern-day commercial productions. Mercedes Viale Ferrero describes the history of theater and stage design, detailing the evolution of the art well into the twentieth century. Gerardo Guccini does the same for stage and opera direction and the development of the director's role as an autonomous creative force. Kathleen Kuzmick Hansell discusses the interrelationships between theatrical ballet and Italian opera, from the age of Venetian opera to the early twentieth century. The visual emphasis of all three contributions is supplemented by over one hundred illustrations, and because much of this material-on the more "spectacular" visual aspects of Italian opera-has never before appeared in English, Opera on Stage will be welcomed by scholars and opera enthusiasts alike.

Download or read book Migration at the End of Empire written by Joseph John Viscomi and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2024-06-06 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How has migration shaped Mediterranean history? And what role did conflicting temporalities and the politics of departure play in the age of decolonisation? Using a microhistorical approach, Migration at the End of Empire explores the experiences of over 55,000 Italian subjects in Egypt during the late-nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Before 1937, Ottoman-era legal regimes fostered the coupling of nationalism and imperialism among Italians in Egypt, particularly as the fascist government sought to revive the myth of Mare Nostrum. With decolonisation, however, Italians began abandoning Egypt en masse. By 1960, over 40,000 had deserted Egypt; some as 'emigrants,' others as 'repatriates,'and still others as 'national refugees.' The departed community became an emblem around which political actors in post-colonial Italy and Egypt forged new ties. Anticipated, actual, and remembered departures of Italians from Egypt are at the heart of this book's ambition to rethink European and Mediterranean periodisation.

Download or read book Maat la Dea Della Giustizia Dell antico Egitto written by Anna Mancini and published by BUENOS BOOKS AMERICA LLC. This book was released on 2010-06 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Per capire l'essenza di una civilt abbiamo bisogno di capirne l'idea di giustizia. Nell'antico Egitto, c'era una dea onnipresente che si chiamava Maat. Questa dea stata considerata dagli scienziati occidentali come la "dea della verit-giustizia," ma allo stesso tempo essi hanno ammesso di non avere capito bene il concetto di Maat che rimasto oscuro perch stato creato da gente che aveva una mentalit molto diversa dalla nostra. Ed vero che l'antico Egitto aveva una maniera di percepire il mondo all'opposto della nostra. Noi, siamo incentrati sull'aspetto materiale del mondo, mentre loro erano incentrati sull'aspetto immateriale pi importante del mondo: sulla vita. Molti testi ritrovati dimostrano che per gli antichi Egiziani, Maat era la luce solare che infondeva la vita. Quindi, per loro, la giustizia consisteva nel far circolare la vita nel microcosmo e nel macrocosmo: uno scopo del tutto ignorato dalla giustizia moderna! Una volta trovata questa chiave di comprensione, i testi egiziani che parlano di Maat e l'iconografia (specialmente la scena chiamata "della psicostasia" o "del giudizio dei morti" che mostra Maat in azione) rivelano all'uomo moderno i loro "segreti." Questo studio universitario, basato sulle fonti accademiche dell'egittologia, della filosofia del diritto e della storia delle religioni apre nuovi orizzonti per capire meglio questa affascinante civilt e approfittare delle sue conoscenze sull'energia solare e sulla maniera di usarla per creare un mondo prospero materialmente e "vitalmente," cio pieno di vita, di felicit, di salute mentale e fisica. La dott.ssa Anna Mancini, nata in Francia da genitori Italiani. Ha studiato la filosofia del diritto a Parigi e la filosofia della mente a Londra. Appassionata dallo studio del sogno, Anna Mancini, ha fatto pi di venti anni di ricerche sul processo onirico e ha creato a Parigi: Innovative You, un'organizzazione dedicata allo studio del sogno creativo. Le immagini dell'antico Egitto furono concepite per "informare" l'inconscio, come fanno anche le immagini dei sogni. Quindi siamo fortunati ad avere uno studio su Maat fatto da una ricercatrice che riunisce sia le capacit razionali accademiche sia un'esperienza del processo onirico che le permette di capire molto meglio l'iconografia dell'antico Egitto.
