Download or read book Why Voice Matters written by Nick Couldry and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2010-06-14 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the best books I have read in years about what it means to engage neoliberalism through a critical framework that highlights those narratives and stories that affirm both our humanity and our longing for justice. It should be read by everyone concerned with what it might mean to not only dream about democracy but to engage it as a lived experience and political possibility. - Henry Giroux, McMaster University "An important and original book that offers a fresh critique of neoliberalism and its contribution to the contemporary crisis of ‘voice’. Couldry’s own voice is clear and impassioned - an urgent must-read." - Rosalind Gill, King’s College London For more than thirty years neoliberalism has declared that market functioning trumps all other social, political and economic values. In this book, Nick Couldry passionately argues for voice, the effective opportunity for people to speak and be heard on what affects their lives, as the only value that can truly challenge neoliberal politics. But having voice is not enough: we need to know our voice matters. Insisting that the answer goes much deeper than simply calling for ′more voices′, whether on the streets or in the media, Couldry presents a dazzling range of analysis from the real world of Blair and Obama to the social theory of Judith Butler and Amartya Sen. Why Voice Matters breaks open the contradictions in neoliberal thought and shows how the mainstream media not only fails to provide the means for people to give an account of themselves, but also reinforces neoliberal values. Moving beyond the despair common to much of today′s analysis, Couldry shows us a vision of a democracy based on social cooperation and offers the resources we need to build a new post-neoliberal politics.

Download or read book Ways of Voice written by Matthew Rahaim and published by Wesleyan University Press. This book was released on 2022-05-15 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ways of Voice explores techniques of voice production in North India, from Bollywood to raga music to ghazal to devotional hymns and Sufi song. The voices in play here are not merely given, but achieved. Singers consciously train themselves to cultivate characteristic vocal gaits, sonorities, and poetic attunements; they adopt postures of the vocal apparatus; they build habits of listening, temporality, and social relations. The action in Ways of Voice revolves around several dozen North Indian popular, devotional, classical, and folk singers engaged in projects of vocal striving. Like most singers, they are strategically working on changing, refining, and making their own voices. The book thus highlights the ways in which singers not only "have" voice, but actively acquire, cultivate and contest particular vocal dispositions for particular kinds of listeners. In framing a "Hindustani vocal ecumene" that encompasses a diverse range of classical, popular, and spiritual-devotional musical styles and practices, it offers an expansive look at ways of voice that extend far beyond commonsense boundaries of genre and place. A rich archive of audio and video examples are provided on the online companion site, which can be found at https://www.weslpress.org/readers-companions/.

Download or read book Expression in Singing written by John Howard and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Expression in Singing: Including Thirty-One Exercises for Voice Culture I, theodore drury, feel that no higher compliment could be paid me than Mr. Howard's request to write a preface to this work, and I start with full knowledge of my inability to do justice to the writings of so great a master and genius. Books on voice culture are no more a novelty. I am certain, however, that in this, Mr. Howard has written a work of the greatest interest and benefit to students of vocal culture. That he is the foremost scientist living, on the voice - or for that matter that has ever lived - there is not the slightest doubt in the mind of anyone who has given the subject serious study. Mr. Howard has been happily endowed with one of the most aristo cratic lineages. His claim to have exhausted the hitherto little-known science and art of voice production may seem to the reader more reason able if they are given the principal points of his remarkable ancestry. It may seem more probable that he could accomplish so great a task if he had been in a measure prepared for it by his wonderful pedigree. Mr. Howard is the direct descendant of seven lines of kings and emperors, also a descendant through his father of the earliest American colonists, one of whom was a general in the Pequot Indian war. Two of his female ancestors married governors of Massachusetts; his father was wounded in the Mexican War, and he himself served in the Twelfth Massachusetts Regiment during the Civil War. The Southworth genealogy, which can be found in the Lenox Library, begins with Wodin, Emperor of the second century, and leads down to the Earl of Leicester, where the Southworth family name begins.

Download or read book New Mansions for Music written by Lakshmi Subramanian and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2008 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays inNew Mansions for Music: Performance, Pedagogy and Criticismlook at one of the most ancient and rigorous classical musical traditions of India, the Karnatik music system, and the kind of changes it underwent once it was relocated from traditional spaces of temples and salons to the public domain. Nineteenth-century Madras led the way in the transformation that Karnatik music underwent as it encountered the forces of modernization and standardization. This study also contributes to our understanding of the experience of modernity in India through the prism of music. The role of Madras city as patron and custodian of the performing arts, especially classical music offers an invaluable perspective on the larger processes of modernization in India. As the title suggests, the areas of classical music, which were most influenced by these developments were pedagogy or modes of musical transmission, performance conventions and criticism or music appreciation. Once the urban elite demanded the widening of the teaching of classical music, traditional modes of music instruction underwent a major change involving a breakdown of thegurushishya paramparaor the tradition wherein the teacher imparted knowledge to a chosen few. Caste and kinship were important determining factors for the selection of theseshishyasor students, but in modern institutions like the universities these boundaries had to be demolished. Simultaneously, the public staging of music brought the performer into a new relationship with his audience, especially as the art form became subject to validation and criticism by the newly emerging music critic. In an immensely readable book peppered with anecdotes and conversations with leading musicians and critics of the day, as well as humorous visual representations, part caricature, part satirical, the author describes a rapidly changing society and its new look in early twentieth century Madras.
