 Performing Salome, Revealing Stories By Clair Rowden (Editor) 2013 | 243 Pages | ISBN: 1409445674 | PDF | 5 MB With its first public live performance in Paris on 11 February 1896, Oscar Wilde's Salome took on female embodied form that signalled the start of 'her' phenomenal journey through the history of the arts in the twentieth century. This volume explores Salome's appropriation and reincarnation across the arts - not just Wilde's heroine, nor Richard Strauss's - but Salome as a cultural icon in fin-de-siecle society, whose appeal for ever new interpretations of the biblical story still endures today. Using Salome as a common starting point, each chapter suggests new ways in which performing bodies reveal alternative stories, narratives and perspectives and offer a range and breadth of source material and theoretical approaches. The first chapter draws on the field of comparative literature to investigate the inter-artistic interpretations of Salome in a period that straddles the end of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the Modernist era. This chapter sets the tone for the rest of the volume, which develops specific case studies dealing with censorship, reception, authorial reputation, appropriation, embodiment and performance. As well as the Viennese premiere of Wilde's play, embodied performances of Salome from the period before the First World War are considered, offering insight into the role and agency of performers in the production and complex negotiation of meaning inherent in the role of Salome. By examining important productions of Strauss's Salome since 1945, and more recent film interpretations of Wilde's play, the last chapters explore performance as a cultural practice that reinscribes and continuously reinvents the ideas, icons, symbols and gestures that shape both the performance itself, its reception and its cultural meaning.

 Pedorthics 101 Let's Talk about Your Feet: Root Cause of Foot Problems How to Eliminate the Cause Anklebone Alignment By Inna Chon; Kate Erb 2017 | 126 Pages | ISBN: 1947142011 | EPUB | 12 MB An ABC certified pedorthist who used to be an animator at Walt Disney Feature Animation Studio writes this book. Animators know how to analyze the movement with weight and ground reaction force. With simple analysis of the law of physics, this book demonstrates how your foot arches are falling each step you take; and why orthotics are essential devices in order to align your ankle bones, thus provide true balance for your feet.With nearly 200 illustrations, this book shows the foot structure and its mechanics, and how your body is connected to the ankle bones that are part of the arches. With the facts that your legs stand right on the ankle bones and the arches falling each step you take, thus tilting the ankle bones; this book demonstrates how these fallen arches cause foot deformities and pains while misaligning our body's major joints that stand on the ankle bones. Also, this book demonstrates how the orthotics that align your ankle bones can prevent and improve fallen arch syndromes all over your body; and most importantly, how to test your ankle bone alignment and how to stand and walk correctly. With aligned anklebones, your body will move more efficiently in every activity, at work or in sports, while minimizing injuries.

 Pagans and Christians in the Late Roman Empire: New Evidence, New Approaches 4th-8th Centuries By Marianne Saghy 2018 | 384 Pages | ISBN: 9633862558 | PDF | 15 MB Do the terms pagan and Christian, transition from paganism to Christianity still hold as explanatory devices to apply to the political, religious and cultural transformation experienced Empire-wise? Revisiting pagans and Christians in Late Antiquity has been a fertile site of scholarship in recent years: the paradigm shift in the interpretation of the relations between pagans and Christians replaced the old conflict model with a subtler, complex approach and triggered the upsurge of new explanatory models such as multiculturalism, cohabitation, cooperation, identity, or group cohesion.This collection of essays inscribes itself into the revisionist discussion of pagan-Christian relations over a broad territory and time-span, the Roman Empire from the fourth to the eighth century. A set of papers argues that if paganism had never been fully extirpated or denied by the multiethnic educated elite that managed the Roman Empire, Christianity came to be presented by the same elite as providing a way for a wider group of people to combine true philosophy and right religion. The speed with which this happened is just as remarkable as the long persistence of paganism after the sea-change of the fourth century that made Christianity the official religion of the State. For a long time afterwards, pagans and Christians lived in between polytheistic and monotheist traditions and disputed Classical and non-Classical legacies.
