Download or read book The Vanishing Indian Upper Class written by Terry Williams and published by Anthem Press. This book was released on 2020-10-30 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book itemize the familial, cultural, religious, and historical themes in a unique life story. The book is distinctive in that it continues the life story as a sociological genre, and as a methodological construct [it] attempts the comprehensive life story which engages the totality of a person’s life by capturing the essence and the development of a peerless human being. Though there are questions whether it is possible to arrange the totality of a life, an important part of the legacy at the moment comes in various forms, including biographies, video diaries, autobiographies, home web pages, and journals, but I realize all life stories are constructed and partial, yet, the attempt here is to tell a story of a member of the ruling elite rarely told. This book is part of a series about cosmopolitan life and no better way to serve that purpose than to use the life story as part of that tradition.

Download or read book Island Musics written by Kevin Dawe and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-05-26 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does the music of Madagascar or Trinidad tell us about the islands themselves and their inhabitants? Is there something unique about island musics? How does island music differ from its mainland counterparts? Drawing on a range of diverse examples from around the globe, this book examines the culture of island music and offers insight into local identities. Case studies look at how music, tradition, popular culture and islander life are linked in modern maritime societies. The islands covered include Crete, Ibiza, Zanzibar, Trinidad, Cuba, Madagascar and Papua New Guinea. In revealing the current practice behind modern island musics, the book considers the role of world music, exotica, global tourism, novels and travel writing in constructing fanciful images of islanders and island life. Island Musics throws into question some of our most basic notions and assumptions about island societies. There are a number of problems common to all island societies that vary in significance depending on an islands size, demographics and its proximity to the mainland. Problems include remoteness and insularity, peripherality to centralized sites of decision-making, a limited range of natural resources, specialization of economics, small markets, a narrow skills base, poor infrastructure and environmental fragility. These issues are discussed in relation to the creation of music in the construction of an islander identity. Of particular interest is the way in which islanders discuss their music and how it articulates the idea of the other and diaspora. Finally, Island Musics considers the musical industry, music education and the preservation of musical cultural heritage.

Download or read book The Kaleidoscope of Women s Sounds in Music of the Late 20th and Early 21st Centuries written by Kheng K. Koay and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2015-10-05 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book traces the development of music in the late 20th and early 21st centuries with regards to the work of six women composers: Sofia Gubaidulina, Joan Tower, Ellen Taaffe Zwilich, Libby Larsen, Chen Yi, and Judith Weir. The study integrates cultural contexts with the composers’ biographies, their diverse compositional styles, and provides in-depth analyses of their musical works. The Kaleidoscope of Women’s Sounds in Music of the Late 20th and Early 21st Centuries offers a more detailed guide to not only these composers, but also their musical characters and styles, than previous studies on women’s music. It discusses several aspects of these women’s compositional perspectives and their personal experiences as they developed their music careers. The book also places emphasis on how these composers incorporated diverse musical styles and the idioms of others into the development of their own distinctly personal styles. The analytical approach adopted in this book is supplemented with illustrations of musical examples in order to provide a more complete understanding of the work of these composers.

Download or read book The Arts in the West Since 1945 written by Arthur Marwick and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2002 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 'Arts' hold a revered and respected place within modern Western society - but what exactly defines 'culture'; what gives it this enigmatic status; what influences its composition and propagation; what controls and limitations is it subject to; and what can it achieve within our world?Arthur Marwick tackles these issues head on, with a both detailed and eclectic account of the 'Arts' in the West since the Second World War. He looks at the full range of possible candidates for the category of 'Art', from both elite and popular cultures: from high literature to pulp fiction, fromart-house cinema to soap-opera, Art Music to Rock and Pop.This book looks at the fascinating diversity of twentieth-century art in the context of the social, technological, and political events, movements, and developments that have shaped our history - such as the holocaust, the television, feminism. Marwick examines how these factors have affected thecultural output of Western society since 1945, and in turn how art has fed back its own agenda and priorities into this society.
