Unlocking the Doors to the Worlds of Guaman Poma and His Nueva corónica
Honored by UNESCO’s Memory of the World designation, Felipe Guaman Poma de Ayala’s Nueva corónica y buen gobierno (1615) rewrites Andean history in accordance with the author’s goals of reforming Spanish colonial rule in the continent-spanning viceroyalty of Peru. Housed at the Royal Library of Denmark since the 1660s, brought to international attention in 1908, and first published in facsimile in 1936, the autograph manuscript has been the topic of research in Andean ethnology and related disciplines for several decades. Now, on the eve of the 400th anniversary of Guaman Poma’s composition of the Nueva corónica, a renowned group of international scholars has focused fresh attentio...
Playing the Cello, 1780-1930
This innovative study of nineteenth-century cellists and cello playing shows how simple concepts of posture, technique and expression changed over time, while acknowledging that many different practices co-existed. By placing an awareness of this diversity at the centre of an historical narrative, George Kennaway has produced a unique cultural history of performance practices. In addition to drawing upon an unusually wide range of source materials - from instructional methods to poetry, novels and film - Kennaway acknowledges the instability and ambiguity of the data that supports historically informed performance. By examining nineteenth-century assumptions about the very nature of the cell...

Interaktion von Leben und Werk bei Schönberg
Diese Studie widmet sich der Interaktion von Leben und Werk des Komponisten Arnold Schönberg (1874-1951). Sie orientiert sich dabei an seiner Ehekrise im Jahre 1908, die ihn nachweislich zutiefst betroffen hat, und von der zu erwarten war, dass sie Spuren in seinem Werk hinterlassen hat. Da sie bis über den Tod des Komponisten hinaus verheimlicht wurde und es an explizitem Beweismaterial fehlt, beruft sich die Rekonstruktion der Umstände hauptsächlich auf die Deutung ausgewählter Kompositionen, Dichtungen und Gemälde sowie einiger schriftlicher Dokumente der drei Beteiligten, Arnold und Mathilde Schönberg und Richard Gerstl. Dieser Ansatz macht die interdisziplinäre Studie sowohl zu einem Beitrag zur Schönbergforschung als auch zu einer Exemplifizierung der musikalischen Hermeneutik. Sie bietet ausführliche inhaltsorientierte Analysen dreier Schlüsselwerke aus dem zeitlichen Umfeld der genannten Ehekrise: Arnold Schönbergs Erstes Streichquartett Opus 7 aus den Jahren 1904-1905, sein Zweites Streichquartett Opus 10 von 1907-1908 sowie seine Fünf Orchesterstücke Opus 16 aus dem Jahr 1909.
Biodiversity and Health in the Face of Climate Change
This open access book identifies and discusses biodiversity’s contribution to physical, mental and spiritual health and wellbeing. Furthermore, the book identifies the implications of this relationship for nature conservation, public health, landscape architecture and urban planning – and considers the opportunities of nature-based solutions for climate change adaptation. This transdisciplinary book will attract a wide audience interested in biodiversity, ecology, resource management, public health, psychology, urban planning, and landscape architecture. The emphasis is on multiple human health benefits from biodiversity - in particular with respect to the increasing challenge of climate change. This makes the book unique to other books that focus either on biodiversity and physical health or natural environments and mental wellbeing. The book is written as a definitive ‘go-to’ book for those who are new to the field of biodiversity and health.
