From the late 1990s until today, China’s sound practice has been developing in an increasingly globalized socio-political-aesthetic milieu, receiving attentions and investments from the art world, music industry and cultural institutes, with nevertheless, its unique acoustic philosophy remaining silent. This book traces the history of sound practice from contemporary Chinese visual art back in the 1980s, to electronic music, which was introduced as a target of critique in the 1950s, to electronic instrument building fever in the late 1970s and early 1980s, and to the origins of both academic and nonacademic electronic and experimental music activities. This expansive tracing of sound in the arts resonates with another goal of this book, to understand sound and its artistic practice through notions informed by Chinese qi-cosmology and qi-philosophy, including notions of resonance, shanshui (mountains-waters), huanghu (elusiveness and evasiveness), and distributed monumentality and anti-monumentality. By turning back to deep history to learn about the meaning and function of sound and listening in ancient China, the book offers a refreshing understanding of the British sinologist Joseph Needham’s statement that “Chinese acoustics is acoustics of qi.” and expands existing conceptualization of sound art and contemporary music at large.

R4,363 Discovery Miles 43 630 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

In Dramatic Experience: The Poetics of Drama and the Early Modern Public Sphere(s) Katja Gvozdeva, Tatiana Korneeva, and Kirill Ospovat (eds.) focus on a fundamental question that transcends the disciplinary boundaries of theatre studies: how and to what extent did the convergence of dramatic theory, theatrical practice, and various modes of audience experience - among both theatregoers and readers of drama - contribute, during the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries, to the emergence of symbolic, social, and cultural space(s) we call 'public sphere(s)'? Developing a post-Habermasian understanding of the public sphere, the articles in this collection demonstrate that related, if diverging, conceptions of the 'public' existed in a variety of forms, locations, and cultures across early modern Europe - and in Asia.

Juan Sebastian Bach - Un Ejemplo de Virtud (English, Spanish, Hardcover): Adalberto Garcia De Mendoza Juan Sebastian Bach - Un Ejemplo de Virtud (English, Spanish, Hardcover)
Adalberto Garcia De Mendoza
R765 Discovery Miles 7 650 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Bach representa el genio cumbre de la armon a musical, el hombre de bien que sufre las ingratitudes de su tiempo, el creyente de un Ser Supremo y el forjador de un himno de paz para toda la humanidad y la historia. Vivir es triunfar. Y triunfar es resolver dos fuerzas antag nicas. En todo instante estamos viviendo y muriendo. En todo momento somos y no somos. Ser y no ser frase mas profunda que la de la tragedia shakesperiana. Todo es y deja de ser. Todo cambia y es. Inmanente a la vida est el perpetuo fl uir de lo existente. Bach es el nico artista que ha llegado a esas insondables profundidades del oc ano, en donde se funden y se identifi can la luz y la obscuridad. Adalberto Garc a de Mendoza

Texto completo de las conferencias semanales transmitidas por el comentarista musicologo Dr. Adalberto Garcia de Mendoza por la Radio difusora Metropolitana XELA en su programa "Horizontes Musicales." "No cabe duda que al hablar de Chopin llega uno a la region de los pensamientos mas intimos, de las sugerencias espirituales mas profundas en que se encuentran todos los colores y matices emocionales, las ansias de liberacion de una patria tristemente sufrida y lejanamente martirizada. En cada nota, en cada frase de la obra de Chopin brota un quejido y tambien una rebeldia. Es la Historia de Polonia. Su musica posee el misterio del dolor y la fuerza espiritual que pocos hombres han sabido idealizar y que solo los supremos intelectos descubren como diamantes ocultos en lo mas intimo de la conciencia humana." Dr. Adalberto Garcia de Mendoza
