Eine fremde Seele, die jemandem in Form von anderen Personen, Zeichen oder eine Art von Spuk erscheint, kann ganz schön Verwirrung in den Betroffenen auslösen. Aber auch die Seele einer anderen, noch lebenden Person kann einfach nur interessant oder geheimnisvoll sein, um es wert zu sein, darüber zu schreiben.

Rabaka explores funk as a distinct multiform of music, aesthetics, politics, social vision, and cultural rebellion that has been remixed and continues to influence contemporary Black popular music and Black popular culture, especially rap music and the Hip Hop Movement. The Funk Movement was a sub-movement within the larger Black Power Movement and its artistic arm, the Black Arts Movement. Moreover, the Funk Movement was also a sub-movement within the Black Women’s Liberation Movement between the late 1960s and late 1970s, where women’s funk, especially Chaka Khan and Betty Davis’s funk, was understood to be a form of “Black musical feminism” that was as integral to the movement a...

Just as music has the power to inspire, it has the power to irritate and enrage. Why does certain music annoy us? Why does it force us to leave rooms, invade our personal space and affect us on a visceral level? Based on more than 70 interviews, this book discusses the everyday challenges of living together with unwanted music. It examines issues of taste, individual rights, private and public spaces, violence and the law. The interviews explore various relationships with forced listening and the behaviors that result. Interviewees talk about emotions and reactions to the nuisance caused by music, highlighting matters of otherness, individualism and rights. They discuss experiences with neighbors, at stores, on the street, while commuting and even in their homes - and reveal the complex social interactions mediated by music and sounds in our day-to-day lives.

Snowy blickte sich um. Natürlich freute er sich darüber, ein Schneemann im Weihnachtsland zu sein. Etwas stimmte den kleinen Schneemann allerdings traurig. Weil er gerade erst drei Wochen alt war, durfte er bei den Vorbereitungen für das Weihnachtsfest nicht helfen. Wäre er nur früher auf die Welt gekommen! Zwei Wochen hätten gereicht. Schneemänner durften dem Weihnachtsmann und seinen Elfen helfen, wenn sie fünf Wochen alt waren. AutorInnen aus Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz schreiben über die schönste Zeit des Jahres.
