Musical Echoes - South African Women Thinking In Jazz (Paperback): Carol Ann Muller, Sathima Bea Benjamin Musical Echoes - South African Women Thinking In Jazz (Paperback)
Carol Ann Muller, Sathima Bea Benjamin
R992 Discovery Miles 9 920 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Musical Echoes tells the life story of the South African jazz vocalist Sathima Bea Benjamin.

Born in Cape Town in the 1930s, Benjamin came to know American jazz and popular music through the radio, movies, records, and live stage and dance band performances. She was especially moved by the voice of Billie Holiday. In 1962 she and Dollar Brand (Abdullah Ibrahim) left South Africa together for Europe, where they met and recorded with Duke Ellington. Benjamin and Ibrahim spent their lives on the move between Europe, the United States, and South Africa until 1977, when they left Africa for New York City and declared their support for the African National Congress.

In New York, Benjamin established her own record company and recorded her music independently from Ibrahim. Musical Echoes reflects twenty years of archival research and conversation between this extraordinary jazz singer and the South African musicologist Carol Ann Muller.

The narrative of Benjamin's life and times is interspersed with Muller's reflections on the vocalist's story and its implications for jazz history.

Offers expansive and intersecting understandings of erotic subjectivity, intimacy, and trauma in performance ethnography and in institutional and disciplinary settings. Focused on research within Africa and the African diaspora, contributors to this volume think through the painful iterations of trauma, systemic racism, and the vestiges of colonial oppression as well as the processes of healing and emancipation that emerge from wounded states. Their chapters explore an acoustemology of intimacy, woman-centered eroticism generated through musical performance, desire and longing in ethnographic knowledge production, and listening as intimacy. On the other end of the spectrum, authors engage with and question the fetishization of race in jazz; examine conceptions of vulgarity and profanity in movement and dance-ethnography; and address pain, trauma, and violation, whether physical, spiritual, intellectual, or political. Authors in this volume strive toward empathetic, ethical, and creative ethnographic engagements that summon vulnerability and healing. They propose pathways to aesthetic, discursive transformation by reorienting conceptions of knowledge as emergent, performative, and sonically enabled. The resulting book explores sensory knowledge that is frequently left unacknowledged in ethnographic work, advancing conversations about performed sonic and somatic modalities through which we navigate our entanglements as engaged scholars.

Rituals of Fertility and the Sacrifice of Desire (Paperback, 2nd ed.): Carol Ann Muller Rituals of Fertility and the Sacrifice of Desire (Paperback, 2nd ed.)
Carol Ann Muller
R1,360 Discovery Miles 13 600 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

With close to one million members, the Church of the Nazarites ("ibandla lamaNazaretha") is one of the most popular indigenous religious communities in South Africa. Founded in 1910 by Isaiah Shembe, it offers South Africans--particularly disadvantaged black women and girls--a way to remake and reconnect to ancient sacred traditions disrupted by colonialism and apartheid. Ethnomusicologist Carol Muller explores the everyday lives of Nazarite women through their religious songs and dances, dream narratives, and fertility rituals, which come to life both musically and visually on CD-ROM.
Against the backdrop of South Africa's turbulent history, Muller shows how Shembe's ideas of female ritual purity developed as a response to a regime and culture that pushed all things associated with women, cultural expression, and Africanness to the margins.
Carol Muller breaks new ground in the study of this changing region and along the way includes fascinating details of her own poignant journey, as a young, white South African woman, to the "other" side of a divided society.

Female "Vita Religiosa" Between Late Antiquity and the High Middle Ages - Structures, Developments and Spatial Contexts... Female "Vita Religiosa" Between Late Antiquity and the High Middle Ages - Structures, Developments and Spatial Contexts (Paperback)
Gert Melville, Anne Muller
R1,280 Discovery Miles 12 800 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book considers the development of female religious life between Late Antiquity and the High Middle Ages. It is the first general study to address this earlier period. Chapters range widely over major themes associated with spiritual ideas and social functions, normative structures and spatial organization, forms of communal life, economic foundations, and social relationships. Along with these, "evolutionary" aspects - including charismatic beginnings and the activity of founders in relation to institutionalization, but also the effects of crises, reformation, and transformation - are examined in chronologically-broad and geographically-diverse settings, based on the analysis of significant phenomena and examples. The book provides a comparative approach, which will allow a better understanding of the dynamics, complexities, and differentiations in women's religious life, as well as their cultural importance and - in relation to the male religious - occasionally ambivalent status.

Signals from the Soul - How Our Soul Tells Us What We Need to Know (Paperback): Ann Muller Signals from the Soul - How Our Soul Tells Us What We Need to Know (Paperback)
Ann Muller
R362 Discovery Miles 3 620 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Have you ever asked yourself, "Why is this happening to me?"
We hear that everything happens for a reason. But what does that actually mean? And why, despite even our most diligent efforts, is it often impossible to change what we don't want in our lives and attract what we do?
Our soul knows. It uses our mind and our body to send us signals through physical and emotional symptoms alerting us to unresolved moments in our past that are negatively impacting the present. The thoughts and beliefs formed in these experiences are blocking the power of our mind to manifest our goals and the ability of our body to heal.
In this memoir-style account, Muller invites the reader to share her path of discovery as she learns that by returning to these moments we can change even the most stubborn thoughts and beliefs and the turmoil they have created. When the moment is resolved we no longer need the signal, and our lives can become what we want them to be.
Each chapter is a transcript of an altered state regression in which Muller's "inner self" in infancy, childhood or a past life changes its thoughts and beliefs to reclaim her power both then and now.
The truths revealed in this groundbreaking book are both personal and universal. They open our awareness to the power we hold locked within, and demonstrate how we can unlock that power when we pay attention to our soul signals and heed their messages.

Diplomarbeit aus dem Jahr 2003 im Fachbereich BWL - Marketing, Unternehmenskommunikation, CRM, Marktforschung, Social Media, Note: 2,0, Freie Universitat Berlin (Betriebswirtschaft), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Inhaltsangabe: Zusammenfassung: Diese Diplomarbeit befasst sich mit dem Thema Semantic Web. Unter diesem Schlagwort werden seit jungerer Vergangenheit eine Vielzahl von Konzepten und Technologien diskutiert, welche sich gemeinsam unter der Idee subsumieren lassen, die im Internet verfugbaren Informationen mit semantischen Auszeichnungen zu versehen. Als Folge wird von zahlreichen Autoren die Moglichkeit eines tief greifenden Wandels in der derzeitigen Informationsverarbeitung und -bereitstellung im Internet propagiert. In dieser Arbeit wird das Thema aus Sicht der Betriebswirtschaftslehre und der Wirtschaftsinformatik bearbeitet. Leitend fur die vorliegende Arbeit ist die Frage, wie ein solcher Wandel konkret aussehen kann und welche Implikationen sich daraus fur wirtschaftliche Ablaufe im Internet ergeben konnen. Die Antwort wird in Form eines in dieser Arbeit entwickelten Einssatzszenarios aus dem Bereich E-Commerce gegeben. Am Beispiel des Kaufs einer Reise im Internet wird gezeigt, wie die Vision des Semantic Web unter Zusammenspiel der Semantic Web Technologien realisiert werden kann. Fur das Szenario wird dabei von unterschiedlichen real existierenden und virtuellen Akteuren ausgegangen, welche an unterschiedlichen Stellen innerhalb des Szenarios bestimmte Funktionen einnehmen und Daten untereinander austauschen. Das Szenario ist vereinfachend in wenige Phasen eingeteilt, welche dem Suchen einer Reise, dem Reservieren der gefundenen Reise, deren Buchung und der anschliessenden Bezahlung per Kreditkarte entsprechen. Die Konzeption dieses Einsatzszenarios basiert auf unterschiedlichen Technologien und technischen Modellen, welche zuvor in dieser Arbeit vorgestellt und im Kontext des Semantic Web diskutiert werden. Im Wesentlichen handelt es sich hierbei

Kreativ-therapeutische Ansatze wie die aktive Musiktherapie gewinnen in der stationaren Behandlung von Patienten mit psychosomatischen Erkrankungen zunehmend an Bedeutung. Die vorliegende Studie beschreibt und analysiert psychologische und immunologische Prozesse bei aktiver Gruppenmusiktherapie; Befindlichkeiten, immunologische Indikatoren (Speichelparameter) und Therapieerleben werden erfasst und ihre Wechselbeziehungen analysiert. Mit dem verwendeten Instrumentarium konnte gezeigt werden, dass Patienten situativ wechselnd die Musiktherapie als Eustress (im Sinne von Herausforderung bei emotionaler Destabilisierung mit der Hoffnung auf Ruckfuhrung zu erwunschtem psycho-physiologischen Gleichgewicht) oder als Distress (im Sinne von Stress bei emotionaler Destabilisierung mit folgendem psycho-physiologischen Fehlgleichgewicht) erleben und bewaltigen."
