Filarmónicos y patriotas
Mozart, Beethoven o Haydn son algunos de los nombres más reconocidos del mundo de la música clásica y de la cultura occidental. Pero, ¿quiénes fueron nuestros clásicos? ¿Qué compositores de esa época, trabajando en América Latina, conocemos? Este libro, fruto de más de diez años de trabajo en archivos y bibliotecas de toda la región, presenta por primera vez una historia de la música, y de los compositores de música, centrada en América Latina en aquellos años: en el tránsito del siglo XVIII al XIX, y de nuestras colonias a las futuras repúblicas en tiempos de independencias. Nombres como José Bernardo Alzedo, Mariano Elízaga, José Zapiola o Juan Meserón dialogan con los gremios, las catedrales, las partituras, los himnos nacionales, las sociedades filarmónicas y los teatros; esto es, los espacios donde se hacía y se estrenaba nueva música en sus países. Así, esta publicación abre una ventana inesperada a un mundo musical inexplorado, tanto para investigadores como para los amantes de la música y de nuestra historia.

Women Making Music
"Do look after my music!" Irene Wienawska Polowski exclaimed before her death in 1932. And from the urgency of that sentiment the authors here have taken their cue to reveal and "look after" the previously neglected contributions of women throughout the history of Western art music. The first work of its kind, Women Making Music presents biographies of outstanding performers and composers, as well as analyses of women musicians as a class, and provides examples of music from all periods including medieval chant, Renaissance song, Baroque opera, German lieder, and twentieth-century composition. Unlike most standard historical surveys, the book not only sheds light upon the musical achievements of women, it also illuminates the historical contexts that shaped and defined those achievements.
The Cultural Revolution of the Nineteenth Century
The beginnings of what we now call 'globalization' dates from the early sixteenth century, when Europeans, in particular the Iberian monarchies, began to connect 'the four parts of the world'. From the end of the eighteenth and throughout the nineteenth centuries, technical advancements, such as the growth of the European rail network and the increasing ease of international shipping, narrowed the physical and imagined distances between different parts of the globe. Books, printed matter and theatrical performances were a crucial part of this process and the so-called 'long nineteenth century' saw a remarkable increase in readership and technological improvements that significantly changed t...
Universities and the Global Knowledge Economy
University and industry, up to now relatively separate and distinct institutional spheres, are assuming tasks that were formerly largely the province of the other in the development of new technologies. A new social contract is being drawn up between the university and the larger society, in which public funding for the university is made contingent upon a more direct contribution to the economy. Has economic development become a function of the university in addition to teaching and research? As the university crosses traditional boundaries through linkages to industry, it must devise ways to make its multiple purposes compatible with each other. The impetuses include: the industrial activities of individual academics in forming firms, which take on a collective force as they become Increasingly common; the organisational inititiatives of academic administrators in establishing procedures and administrative offices for university-industry relations...

Cartography of Exhaustion
In our current landscape of communicative and connective excess, a very novel contemporary exhaustion exacerbated by our relation to the postdigital terrain is ever present. The Brazilian philosopher and schizoanalyst Peter Pál Pelbart pushes the vital question of our nihililstic age to the limits: how can one learn to be left alone, live alone, and perhaps, by way of a Deleuzian “absolute solitude,” conjure a vitality for living again and, indeed, finding something truly “worthy of saying”? Through various poetic meanderings and meditations and building on the works of Blanchot, Musil, Guattari, and Delingy, among others, Pelbart reestablishes the possibility of fighting off the exhaustion of our current state of affairs. For Pelbart, we must chart the cartography of exhaustion as if it were a sort of molecular symptomology.
