South Orange Revisited
From the mid-1800s through the late 1900s, life in South Orange was a mirror of events taking place on a national and global level. Evolutions in population, transportation, education, and culture played an important part in South Orange's growth from a small farming village to the bustling community it is today. For more than 150 years, the village's excellent road and rail infrastructure, salubrious climate, and close proximity to Manhattan has drawn residents from a wide range of backgrounds, interests, and talents. Today many South Orange residents enjoy the convenience of working in a bustling city and at the same time, living in late-19th- and 20th-century homes on streets illuminated by Victorian gaslights. These are just some of the factors that make South Orange a unique community.
Music as Dream
Music as Dream: Essays on Giacinto Scelsi showcases recent scholarly criticism on the music and philosophy of the brilliantly original composer Giacinto Scelsi. In this collection, Franco Sciannameo and Alessandra Carlotta Pellegrini select and translate into English for the first time essays that reflect the evolution of recent scholarship on Scelsi’s musical compositions. Music as Dream opens with “The Scelsi Case,” which erupted shortly after Scelsi’s death in 1988 when composer Vieri Tosatti claimed ownership of his works. This quarrel reached its zenith in the pages of PianoTime’s March 1989 issue, where musicologist Guido Zaccagnini questioned a group of noted composers, writ...

Italia / Francia
Il volume Italia / Francia propone un’indagine su alcune reciproche influenze tra la cultura musicale di Italia e di Francia nel Novecento. I saggi qui pubblicati sono scaturiti da un convegno tenutosi a Palermo nel 2008 in ideale prosecuzione con due precedenti incontri di studio a Strasburgo e a Cremona. Ancora oggi quei lavori, con qualche piccolo aggiornamento, mantengono attualità e interesse. Gli scritti contenuti in Italia / Francia – di Jean-Jacques Nattiez, Carlo Serra, Gianfranco Vinay, Raffaele Pozzi, Angelo Orcalli, Luigi Manfrin, Gaetano Mercadante, Pietro Misuraca, Gabriele Garilli, Amalia Collisani, Pierre Michel, Alessandro Arbo, Ingrid Pustijanac, Giovanni Damiani – disegnano una rete variegata di flussi, convergenze, echi, alleanze da Dallapiccola e Messiaen ai compositori più recenti.
L'industria della persuasione
Sin dalla sua ascesa nel 1922, il regime fascista intraprese un vasto progetto di programmazione della "cultura popolare": varò una propria estetica, stabilì un canone artistico, costruì una tradizione in senso nazionalistico ed edificò un'enciclopedia culturale a proprio uso e consumo. Il programma d'indottrinamento delle masse e costruzione del consenso messo in atto dal regime fece leva soprattutto su un uso capillare dell'industria culturale, trasformata in una vera e propria "industria della persuasione". Una ricca produzione di letteratura critica ha messo a tema negli ultimi anni l'industria culturale del fascismo, prendendo in esame i meccanismi di costruzione del consenso, l'ese...
