The Palgrave Handbook of Music in Comedy Cinema
This handbook tackles the understudied relationship between music and comedy cinema by analysing the nature, perception, and function of music from fresh perspectives. Its approach is not only multidisciplinary, but also interdisciplinary in its close examination of how music and other cinematic devices interact in the creation of comedy. The volume addresses gender representation, national identities, stylistic strategies, and employs inputs from cultural studies, musicology, music theory, psychology, cognitivism, semiotics, formal and stylistic film analysis, and psychoanalysis. It is organised in four sections: general introductions, theoretical investigations, music and comedy within national cinemas, and exemplary case studies of films or authors.
Word Art + Gesture Art = Tone Art
This book offers a truly interdisciplinary discussion on the relationship between the vocal and the instrumental in music and other arts and in everyday communication alike. Presenting an in-depth systematical and historical analysis of the evolution of word and gesture art, it gives extensive information on the anthropological, biological, and physiological influences and interactions in music and beyond. The book gives a unique definition of the genuinely vocal and instrumental from their generative deep structure: They derive from and are determined in their production by the duality of voice and hands, and in terms of product as the tone or ‘tonal’ on the one hand, and the percussive...
Theorising Posthuman Childhood Studies
This book is a genealogical foregrounding and performance of conceptions of children and their childhoods over time. We acknowledge that children’s lives are embedded in worlds both inside and outside of structured schooling or institutional settings, and that this relationality informs how we think about what it means to be a child living and experiencing childhood. The book maps the field by taking up a cross-disciplinary, genealogical niche to offer both an introduction to theoretical underpinnings of emerging theories and concepts, and to provide hands-on examples of how they might play out. This book positions children and their everyday lived childhoods in the Anthropocene and focuse...

Composing for the Cinema
With nearly 400 scores to his credit, Ennio Morricone is one of the most prolific and influential film composers working today. He has collaborated with many significant directors, and his scores for such films as The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly; Once Upon a Time in America; Days of Heaven; The Mission; The Untouchables; Malèna; and Cinema Paradiso leave moviegoers with the conviction that something special was achieved—a conviction shared by composers, scholars, and fans alike. In Composing for the Cinema: The Theory and Praxis of Music in Film, Morricone and musicologist Sergio Miceli present a series of lectures on the composition and analysis of film music. Adapted from several lectur...

European Film Music
Miguel Mera and David Burnand present a volume that explores specific European filmic texts, composers and approaches to film scoring that have hitherto been neglected. Films involving British, French, German, Greek, Irish, Italian, Polish and Spanish composers are considered in detail. Important issues that permeate all the essays involve the working relationship of composer and director, the dialectic between the diegetic and non-diegetic uses of music in films, the music-image synergism and the levels of realism that are created by the audio-visual mix.
Food Protein Induced Enterocolitis (FPIES)
This unique book is a first-of-its-kind resource, comprehensively guiding readers through the epidemiology, pathophysiology, recent diagnostic criteria, and management options for patients with Food Protein-Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome (FPIES). Food-Protein Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome: Diagnosis and Management opens with a historical perspective of this condition, before moving into discussions of epidemiology and pathophysiology. FPIES can be difficult to diagnose as the symptoms overlap with multiple other conditions, and so clear differential diagnosis will be reviewed for both chronic FPIES, as well as acute FPIES. Later chapters are case-based, providing detailed multiple perspecti...
La corda tesa
L’indagine da cui parte questa raccolta di saggi segue linee di ricerca che intrecciano principalmente letteratura e cinema. I diversi temi e problemi affrontati (dalla narrativa contemporanea allo stile cinematografico, dal saggismo letterario a quello cinematografico) portano tutti verso una stessa direzione: il problema della rappresentazione del reale, il rapporto tra realtà e realtà rappresentata, i limiti del realismo e le scappatoie a tali limiti. Tra queste, lo stile, che agisce possibilmente come la corda di Kafka, simile alla verità: tesa in basso, per farti inciampare. Lo stile, con i suoi eccessi, pare allontanare dal reale: eppure sono a volte proprio tali oltranze a rendere rappresentabile ciò che non sembra possibile rappresentare. Raggruppati in due sezioni, il volume raccoglie, dodici saggi già apparsi in diverse sedi, ma accomunati da una stessa tensione conoscitiva. Su un arco che copre tutto il Novecento, sino alla contemporaneità, diversi sono gli autori affrontati, da Pasolini a Longhi, da Deledda a Mannuzzu, da Trevi a Lagioia, passando per Cases, Soldati, Camilleri, e per le vie battute da inimitabili saggisti cinematografici come Amengual e Bazin.
