Rasa
The complex notion of "rasa," as understood by Javanese musicians, refers to a combination of various qualities, including: taste, feeling, affect, mood, sense, inner meaning, a faculty of knowing intuitively, and deep understanding. This leaves us with a number of questions: how is rasa expressed musically? Who or what has rasa, and what sorts of musical, psychological, perceptual, and sociological distinctions enter into this determination? How is the vocabulary of rasa structured, and what does this tell us about traditional Javanese music and aesthetics? In this first book on the subject, Rasa provides an entry into Javanese music as it is conceived by the people who know the tradition b...

Bhima's Mystical Quest
This research based on the Jasadipoeran Sêrat Déwaruci, the Ki Nartosabdan Déwaruci play, and the dhalangs' interpretation of the Déwaruci play they performed. Using three divisions of the horizontal tripartite of the Déwaruci play, and of the vertical tripartite of the wayang kulit cosmology, together with the Javanese concepts of lair, batin, and rasa, the examination of Bhīma's quest reveals three stages of the Javanese spiritual growth, which can be systematically summarized as the purification of the corporeal feelings, the purification of the emotional feelings, and the purification of the intuitive feelings which culminates in the union with God, the so-called manunggaling kawula-Gustia.
Comédie française
« J’ai besoin de toi, de ta sensibilité », dit Nicolas Sarkozy à Georges-Marc Benamou, un jour de 2006. Une proposition amicale que ce dernier aura du mal à refuser. Pris dans le tourbillon de la campagne, le conseiller novice connaît le temps héroïque de la conquête, celui de l’éblouissement en arrivant à l’Élysée, puis celui de la désillusion. Il découvre la Cité interdite, il voit vivre et gouverner le « premier Sarkozy », perçoit la noirceur des coulisses de l’État, assiste aux colères du jeune prince mais aussi à ses coups de génie. De ce voyage au royaume des ambitieux, Georges-Marc Benamou ne sortira pas indemne. Dans ce livre sans fard, la cruauté et la grandeur voisinent parfois avec le ridicule. L’auteur nous emmène au cœur du pouvoir, dans l’Élysée intime de Sarkozy où se joue une incroyable comédie française. Écrivain et mémorialiste de François Mitterrand, Georges-Marc Benamou est l’auteur de plusieurs livres remarqués, dont Le Dernier Mitterrand, adapté au cinéma sous le titre Le Promeneur du Champ-de-Mars. Il fut conseiller à la Culture et à la Communication de Nicolas Sarkozy (2007-2008).
Inside the Mind of Marine Le Pen
What drives Marine Le Pen and France's Front National? Has her party really changed its ways, or is she merely rebranding its old ideas and policies for a new era? In the age of Brexit and Trump, France too has seen a growing audience for identity-based politics. Under 'Marine', the FN is enjoying unprecedented success. But what's her secret? This is a probing investigation into the philosophy of Marine Le Pen's FN. It seeks answers in her speeches, in the history of French nationalism and in revealing interviews with those on the far right-including Jean-Marie Le Pen himself. Michel Eltchaninoff exposes a vision of France tyrannized by liberalism and seduced by the offer of an uncompromising alternative: a Republic 'beyond Left and Right', defined by its enemies and aligned with Putin's Russia. Whatever Marine Le Pen is thinking, she has not forgotten the FN's roots. The French far right is now stronger than ever.
On Music
Opinionated and example-filled, this extremely concise and accessible book provides a survey of some fundamental and longstanding debates about the nature of music. The central arguments and ideas of historical and contemporary philosophers are presented with the goal of making them as accessible as possible to general readers who have no background in philosophy. The emphasis is on instrumental music, but examples are drawn from many cultures as well as from Western classical, jazz, folk, and popular music.
