Sound Heritage - Making Music Matter in Historic Houses: Jeanice Brooks, Matthew Stephens, Wiebke Thormählen Sound Heritage - Making Music Matter in Historic Houses
Jeanice Brooks, Matthew Stephens, Wiebke Thormählen
R1,277 Discovery Miles 12 770 Ships in 9 - 15 working days

Sound Heritage is the first study of music in the historic house museum, featuring contributions from both music and heritage scholars and professionals in a richly interdisciplinary approach to central issues. It examines how music materials can be used to create narratives about past inhabitants and their surroundings - including aspects of social and cultural life beyond the activity of music making itself - and explores how music as sound, material, and practice can be more consistently and engagingly integrated into the curation and interpretation of historic houses. The volume is structured around a selection of thematic chapters and a series of shorter case studies, each focusing on a specific house, object or project. Key themes include: Different types of historic house, including the case of the composer or musician house; what can be learned from museums and galleries about the use of sound and music and what may not transfer to the historic house setting Musical instruments as part of a wider collection; questions of restoration and public use; and the demands of particular collection types such as sheet music Musical objects and pieces of music as storytelling components, and the use of music to affectively colour narratives or experiences. This is a pioneering study that will appeal to all those interested in the intersection between Music and Museum and Heritage Studies. It will also be of interest to scholars and researchers of Music History, Popular Music, Performance Studies and Material Culture.

The Waste Land after One Hundred Years (Hardcover): Steven Matthews The Waste Land after One Hundred Years (Hardcover)
Steven Matthews; Contributions by Steven Matthews, Rebecca Beasley, Rosinka Chaudhuri, William Davies, …
R1,195 Discovery Miles 11 950 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

An exploration of the legacy of The Waste Land on the centenary of its original publication, looking at the impact it had had upon criticism and new poetries across one hundred years. T. S. Eliot first published his long poem The Waste Land in 1922. The revolutionary nature of the work was immediately recognised, and it has subsequently been acknowledged as one of the most influential poems of the twentieth century, and as crucial for the understanding of modernism. The essays in this collection variously reflect on The Waste Land one hundred years after its original publication. At this centenary moment, the contributors both celebrate the richness of the work, its sounds and rare use of language, and also consider the poem's legacy in Britain, Ireland, and India. The work here, by an international team of writers from the UK, North America, and India, deploys a range of approaches. Some contributors seek to re-read the poem itself in fresh and original ways; others resist the established drift of previous scholarship on the poem, and present new understandings of the process of its development through its drafts, or as an orchestration on the page. Several contributors question received wisdom about the poem's immediate legacy in the decade after publication, and about the impact that it has had upon criticism and new poetries across the first century of its existence. An Introduction to the volume contextualises the poem itself, and the background to the essays. All pieces set out to review the nature of our understanding of the poem, and to bring fresh eyes to its brilliance, one hundred years on. Contributors: Rebecca Beasley, Rosinka Chaudhuri, William Davies, Hugh Haughton, Marjorie Perloff, Andrew Michael Roberts, Peter Robinson, Michael Wood.

A Book Called YOU - Understanding The Enneagram from a Grace-Filled, Biblical Perspective (Paperback): Matthew Stephen Brown A Book Called YOU - Understanding The Enneagram from a Grace-Filled, Biblical Perspective (Paperback)
Matthew Stephen Brown
R446 R49 Discovery Miles 490 Save R397 (89%) In Stock

Who am I? Everyone asks that question, no matter their age or status in life. If we truly are supposed to be real with others, shouldn’t that start with learning how to be real with ourselves? We think so. But we have to be willing to look inside and ask, "Okay, God, who am I? What is it that I don’t see about myself that you see?"

A Book Called YOU will help us learn about:

  • Who we are as individuals
  • How a biblical view of self-discovery can improve every part of our lives.
  • Assigns Enneagram numbers to biblical characters
  • Provides heartfelt, humorous, and prescriptive Enneagram perspective
  • Helps readers be more authentic and honest with God, themselves, and others.

Based on his widely successful teaching series "A Series Called You" and his personal experience using the Enneagram personality assessment tool in his marriage and other personal relationships, pastor Matt Brown offers a groundbreaking, entertaining, and heartfelt guide that highlights biblical truths alongside the Enneagram to help us better understand ourselves and how we relate to the people around us.

Augustine: On the Trinity Books 8-15 (Hardcover): Augustine Augustine: On the Trinity Books 8-15 (Hardcover)
Augustine; Edited by Gareth B. Matthews; Translated by Stephen McKenna
R3,209 Discovery Miles 32 090 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

An appropriate motto for Augustine's great work On the Trinity is 'faith in search of understanding'. In this treatise Augustine offers a part-theological, part-philosophical account of how God might be understood in analogy to the human mind. On the Trinity can be fairly described as the first modern philosophy of mind: it is the first work in philosophy to recognize the 'problem of other minds', and the first to offer the 'argument from analogy' as a response to that problem. Other subjects that it discusses include the nature of the mind and the nature of the body, the doctrine of 'illumination', and thinking as inner speech. This volume presents the philosophical section of the work, and in a historical and philosophical introduction Gareth Matthews places Augustine's arguments in context and assesses their influence on later thinkers.
