Book excerpt: "Keep your eye out for the wild man," Curlie said with a sneaky grin before we parted ways... Memories like mountain smoke often settle deep in the soul, only rising now and again as to not be forgotten. Wrought with mystery as old as the Great Smoky Mountains themselves this is story of a boy and his grandpa. It is a tale of vengeful neighbors, headless ghosts, and a mysterious wild man all lurking in the night where the wind still howls and the bobcat screams. Haunting and beautiful it is also the story of a father trapped in his pain and a child in his sorrow and their courage to find the other. Curlie and Ira Grubbs, Mr. Toadvine, Crazy Maggie, and Tall Tom, they are all here in Strayaway Child, along with my grandpa who took me in when my mama didn’t want me and I didn’t have a daddy. It as story sweetened by time like the honey I remember from my childhood when the cool mountain air made the wood smoke rise and home was not far away. Memories like mountain smoke often settle deep in the soul, only rising now and again as to not be forgotten. These are my memories.

Download or read book Remapping the Humanities written by Mary Garrett and published by Wayne State University Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An innovative collection demonstrating the rich potential for interdisciplinary learning found within the network of university-based humanities centers. Remapping the Humanities celebrates the tenth anniversary of the Wayne State University Humanities Center by bringing together essays that illustrate the richness of public conversations developed in interdisciplinary humanities centers. The contributors to this collection represent more than a dozen disciplines--including philosophy, English, political science, history, law, comparative literature, and Spanish--and, taken together, their essays illustrate an ongoing remapping of the intellectual landscape as scholars from across university departments engage one another in unpredictable ways. This volume is divided into four thematic sections: Identity and Community, Remembering and Forgetting, Nationalism and Globalism, and Toward (Post)Modernity. Yet the essays deliberately represent a range of theoretical perspectives that interact synergistically, such as feminism and postcolonial studies, or literary criticism and art history. They also tackle topics as varied as the formation of the modern family in France and the inculcation of civic virtue in American cities, and they draw freely from different sources of evidence like newspaper accounts, popular literature, paintings, and diaries. Remapping the Humanities includes unique touches such as a portfolio of full-color images and an audio CD of Celtic-inspired jazz. In addition, a preface by Walter Edwards, academic director of the Humanities Center at Wayne State University, gives some background on this institution and the work being done there. The importance of Remapping the Humanities ultimately lies in its refusal to say that learning has ended and the example it provides of the value of calculated ferment and intellectual instability. Educators involved with or wanting to learn more about interdisciplinary research will appreciate this unique collection.
Download or read book The British Folk Revival 1944 2002 written by Michael Brocken and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-12 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title was first published in 2003. This work considers the post-war folk revival in Britain from a popular music studies perspective. Michael Brocken provides a historical narrative of the folk revival from the 1940s up until the 1990s, beginning with the emergence of the revival from within and around the left-wing movements of the 1940s and 1950s. Key figures and organizations such as the Workers' Music Association, the BBC, the English Folk Dance and Song Society, A.L. Lloyd and Ewan MacColl are examined closely. By looking at the work of British Communist Party splinter groups it is possible to see the refraction of folk music as a political tool. Brocken openly challenges folk historicity and internal narrative by discussing the convergence of folk and pop during the 1950s and 1960s. The significant development of the folk/rock hybrid is considered alongside "class", "Americana", radio and the strength of pop culture. Brocken shows how the dichotomy of artistic (natural) versus industry (mass-produced) music since the 1970s has led to a fragmentation and constriction of the folk revival. The study concludes with a look at the upsurge of the folk music industry, the growth of festivals and the implications of the Internet for the British folk revival. Brocken suggests the way forward should involve an acknowledgement that folk music is not superior to but is, in fact, a form of popular music.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Founded by Al O'Connor in 1973, the steelband program at Northern Illinois University was the first of its kind in the United States. Thanks to the talent and dedication of O'Connor, Cliff Alexis, Liam Teague, Yuko Asada, and a plethora of NIU students and staff members, the program has flourished into one of the most important in the world. Having welcomed a variety of distinguished guest artists and traveled to perform in locales around the US and in Taiwan, Trinidad, and South Korea, the NIU Steelband has achieved international acclaim as a successful and unique university world music program. This fascinating history of the NIU Steelband traces the evolution of the program and engages with broader issues relating to the development of steelband and world music ensembles in the American university system. In addition to investigating its past, Steelpan in Education looks to the future of the NIU Steelband, exploring how it attracts and trains new generations of elite musicians who continue to push the boundaries of the steelpan. This study will appeal to musicians, music educators, ethnomusicologists, and fans of the NIU Steelband.
