The Serpent and the Fire
Jerome Rothenberg’s final anthology—an experiment in omnipoetics with Javier Taboada—reaches into the deepest origins of the Americas, north and south, to redefine America and its poetries The Serpent and the Fire breaks out of deeply entrenched models that limit “American” literature to work written in English within the present boundaries of the United States. Editors Jerome Rothenberg and Javier Taboada gather vital pieces from all parts of the Western Hemisphere and the breadth of European and Indigenous languages within: a unique range of cultures and languages going back several millennia, an experiment in what the editors call an American “omnipoetics.” The Serpent and the Fire is divided into four chronological sections—from early pre-Columbian times to the immediately contemporary—and five thematic sections that move freely across languages and shifting geographical boundaries to underscore the complexities, conflicts, contradictions, and continuities of the poetry of the Americas. The book also boasts contextualizing commentaries to connect the poets and poems in dialogue across time and space.
Jazz 1959
Der Esquire verkündet es Anfang Januar 1959 auf seiner Titelseite: »The Golden Age of Jazz«. Und meint damit das Hier und Jetzt: »Now is the time!« Was für eine Prophezeiung! Denn Alben wie Kind of Blue und Mingus Ah Um, The Shape of Jazz to Come und Time Out, Moanin' und Giant Steps, die in den Monaten danach erscheinen, bilden bis heute den Kern des Jazzkanons. Im Rückblick ein ›annus mirabilis‹. Nur liegt noch keine dieser Platten vor, als der Esquire herauskommt. Wie kann das sein? Frédéric Döhl rekonstruiert die Soundscape des Jazz jener Ära. Und vermittelt hierüber, wie wichtig es ist, dem eigenen Gehör zu folgen, um die Geschichte einer Musik zu erzählen – auch im Zeitalter von TDM, KI und ChatGPT.

Issues in African American Music
Issues in African American Music: Power, Gender, Race, Representation is a collection of twenty-one essays by leading scholars, surveying vital themes in the history of African American music.

Out of Place
Broad in scope, Out of Place: Artists, Pedagogy, and Purpose presents an overview of the different paths taken by artists and artist collectives as they navigate their way from formative experiences into pedagogy. Focusing on the realms in- and outside the academy (the places and persons involved in post-secondary education) and the multiple forms and functions of pedagogy (practices of learning and instruction), the contributions in this volume engage individual and collective artistic practices as they adapt to meet the factors and historical conditions of the people and communities they serve through solidarity, equity, and creativity. With this critically, historicist approach in mind, t...
