The Stranglers exploded onto the music scene in 1977 with their
iconic debut album Rattus Norvegicus. Lazily classed as a punk band
because of their notorious behaviour and outrageous lyrics, the
truth was somewhat different. Many books have been written about
the behaviour of the band but this book focuses in-depth on the
music and lyrics of every song during the years of the original
line-up and destroys the myth of mindless musical provocateurs to
reveal their brilliance and dark beauty by shining a forensic light
on these musical visionaries. For fans of the band, whether
musically experienced or not, it is a must-read. And for fans in
general of rock music in the 70s and 80s, it will highlight what
makes their music stand out as special and result in them dusting
down their vinyl copies of the band's records to re-acquaint
themselves with their music in a new light.
In Art Effects Carlos Fausto explores the interplay between
indigenous material culture and ontology in ritual contexts,
interpreting the agency of artifacts and indigenous presences and
addressing major themes in anthropological theory and art history
to study ritual images in the widest sense. Fausto delves into
analyses of the body, aerophones, ritual masks, and anthropomorphic
effigies while making a broad comparison between Amerindian visual
regimes and the Christian imagistic tradition. Drawing on his
extensive fieldwork in Amazonia, Fausto offers a rich tapestry of
inductive theorizing in understanding anthropology's most complex
subjects of analysis, such as praxis and materiality, ontology and
belief, the power of images and mimesis, anthropomorphism and
zoomorphism, and animism and posthumanism. Art Effects also brims
with suggestive, hemispheric comparisons of South American and
North American indigenous masks. In this tantalizing
interdisciplinary work with echoes of Franz Boas, Pierre Clastres,
and Claude Levi-Strauss, among others, Fausto asks: how do objects
and ritual images acquire their efficacy and affect human beings?
This book is the first to collect the most influential essays and
lectures of Eduardo Viveiros de Castro. Published in a wide variety
of venues, and often difficult to find, the pieces are brought
together here for the first time in a one major volume, which
includes his momentous 1998 Cambridge University Lectures,
"Cosmological Perspectivism in Amazonia and Elsewhere." Rounded out
with new English translations of a number of previously unpublished
works, the resulting book is a wide-ranging portrait of one of the
towering figures of contemporary thought - philosopher,
anthropologist, ethnographer, ethnologist, and more. With a new
afterword by Roy Wagner elucidating Viveiros de Castro's work,
influence, and legacy, The Relative Native will be required
reading, further cementing Viveiros de Castro's position at the
center of contemporary anthropological inquiry.

In this book, Bernardo Fonseca Machado examines the
transnationalization of American Broadway and the resulting
cultural exchanges between New York and Sao Paulo at the turn of
the twenty-first century. Machado combines ethnography and history
to track the complexities of discourses, imaginaries, and economic
interests within the flow of musical people, capital, practices,
pedagogies, and shows between these two cities.
