Spiel (mit) der Maschine
In der Frühzeit von Phonographie, Reproduktionsklavier, Film und Radio wurden die damals neuen Medien nicht nur untereinander verknüpft, sondern auch mit der traditionellen musikalischen Praxis des Instrumentalspiels kombiniert. Der Band beleuchtet diese heute weitgehend vergessenen, vielfältig ausdifferenzierten Felder musikalischer Medienpraxis. Neben der Frage nach der musik- und medienhistoriographischen Relevanz solch ephemerer musikalischer Mediengemische widmen sich die Beiträge den komplexen Verflechtungen zwischen den neu entstandenen Reproduktions- und Übertragungsmedien, dem naturwissenschaftlichen und ästhetischen Denken der Zeit sowie den ökonomischen Entwicklungen. Darüber hinaus werden medienästhetische Strategien beleuchtet, mit denen die neuen technischen Geräte künstlerisch umgedeutet wurden.
Musik als Spiel - Spiel als Musik
Außermusikalische Prinzipien des Spiels - freie wie streng regelbasierte - können Kompositionsprozesse, Aufführungssituationen oder Rezeptionsvorgänge prägen und bestehende Denkmuster aufbrechen. Daher hat der Spielbegriff als ästhetische Kategorie in den Künsten des 20. Jahrhunderts deutlich an Relevanz gewonnen und bis heute entstehen vielfältige kompositorische Konzepte, die Formen, Interaktionen und Oberflächen von analogen wie digitalen Spielen adaptieren. Die Beiträger*innen aus den Bereichen Komposition, Musik- und Kulturwissenschaft und Spieleentwicklung untersuchen markante Beispiele, in denen auf je eigene Weise Musik und Spiel als zwei eigenständig gewachsene Kulturformen zusammengeführt werden.
Artistic Experimentation in Music
Essential reading for anyone interested in artistic research applied to music This book is the first anthology of writings about the emerging subject of artistic experimentation in music. This subject, as part of the cross-disciplinary field of artistic research, cuts across boundaries of the conventional categories of performance practice, music analysis, aesthetics, and music pedagogy. The texts, most of them specially written for this volume, have a common genesis in the explorations of the Orpheus Research Centre in Music (ORCiM) in Ghent, Belgium. The book critically examines experimentation in music of different historical eras. It is essential reading for performers, composers, teache...
The Republican Alternative
The Republican Alternative seeks to move beyond the mere notion of scholarly inquiry into the republic—the subject of recent rediscovery by political historians interested in Europe’s intellectual heritage—by investigating the practical similarities and differences between two early modern republics, as well as their self-images and interactions during the turbulent seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Among the world’s most economically successful societies, Switzerland and the Netherlands laid much of the foundation for their prosperity during the early modern period discussed here. This volume attempts to clarify the special character of these two countries as they developed, including issues of religious plurality, the republican form of government, and an increasingly commercially-driven agrarian society.
Mary and Early Christian Women
This book is open access under a CC BY-NC-ND license. This book reveals exciting early Christian evidence that Mary was remembered as a powerful role model for women leaders—women apostles, baptizers, and presiders at the ritual meal. Early Christian art portrays Mary and other women clergy serving as deacon, presbyter/priest, and bishop. In addition, the two oldest surviving artifacts to depict people at an altar table inside a real church depict women and men in a gender-parallel liturgy inside two of the most important churches in Christendom—Old Saint Peter’s Basilica in Rome and the second Hagia Sophia in Constantinople. Dr. Kateusz’s research brings to light centuries of censorship, both ancient and modern, and debunks the modern imagination that from the beginning only men were apostles and clergy.
Exploring Materiality and Connectivity in Anthropology and Beyond
Exploring Materiality and Connectivity in Anthropology and Beyond provides a new look at the old anthropological concern with materiality and connectivity. It understands materiality not as defined property of some-thing, nor does it take connectivity as merely a relation between discrete entities. Somewhat akin to Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle, it sees materiality and connectivity as two interrelated modes in which an entity is, or more precisely – is becoming, in the world. The question, thus, is how these two modes of becoming relate and fold into each other. Throughout the four-year research process that led to this book, the authors approached this question not just from a theo...
The Cambridge History of Medieval Monasticism in the Latin West
Monasticism, in all of its variations, was a feature of almost every landscape in the medieval West. So ubiquitous were religious women and men throughout the Middle Ages that all medievalists encounter monasticism in their intellectual worlds. While there is enormous interest in medieval monasticism among Anglophone scholars, language is often a barrier to accessing some of the most important and groundbreaking research emerging from Europe. The Cambridge History of Medieval Monasticism in the Latin West offers a comprehensive treatment of medieval monasticism, from Late Antiquity to the end of the Middle Ages. The essays, specially commissioned for this volume and written by an international team of scholars, with contributors from Australia, Belgium, Canada, England, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, and the United States, cover a range of topics and themes and represent the most up-to-date discoveries on this topic.
