Rethinking Orality I : Codification, Transcodification and Transmission of 'Cultural Messages' by Andrea Ercolani and Laura Lulli English | 2022 | ISBN: 3110713950 | 250 Pages | True PDF | 2.58 MB  Rethinking Mendelssohn edited by Benedict Taylor English | May 13, 2020 | ISBN: 0190611782 | True EPUB | 538 pages | 25.6 MB As one of the foremost composers, conductors, and pianists of the nineteenth century, Felix Mendelssohn played a fundamental role in the shaping of modern musical tastes through his contributions to the early music revival and the formation of the Austro-German musical canon. His career allows for a remarkable meeting point for critical engagement with a host of crucial issues in the last two centuries of music history, including the relation between musical meaning and social function, programmatic and absolute music, notions of classicism and Romanticism, modernism and historicism. It also serves as a pertinent case-study of the roles political ideology, racism, and musical ignorance may play in creating and perpetuating a composer's posthumous reception. Fittingly, Rethinking Mendelssohn focuses on critical engagement with the composer's music and aesthetics, and on the interpretation of his works in relation to contemporaneous culture.  Hanno Jentzsch, "Rethinking Locality in Japan " English | ISBN: 0367469480 | 2021 | 288 pages | EPUB | 5 MB This book inquires what is meant when we say "local" and what "local" means in the Japanese context.  Rethinking Japanese Studies: Eurocentrism and the Asia-Pacific Region By Kaori Okano; Yoshio Sugimoto 2017 | 246 Pages | ISBN: 1138068500 | PDF | 3 MB Japanese Studies has provided a fertile space for non-Eurocentric analysis for a number of reasons. It has been embroiled in the long-running internal debate over the so-called Nihonjinron, revolving around the extent to which the effective interpretation of Japanese society and culture requires non-Western, Japan-specific emic concepts and theories. This book takes this question further and explores how we can understand Japanese society and culture by combining Euro-American concepts and theories with those that originate in Japan. Because Japan is the only liberal democracy to have achieved a high level of capitalism outside the Western cultural framework, Japanese Studies has long provided a forum for deliberations about the extent to which the Western conception of modernity is universally applicable. Furthermore, because of Japan's military, economic and cultural dominance in Asia at different points in the last century, Japanese Studies has had to deal with the issues of Japanocentrism as well as Eurocentrism, a duality requiring complex and nuanced analysis.This book identifies variations amongst Japanese Studies academic communities in the Asia-Pacific and examines the extent to which relatively autonomous scholarship, intellectual approach or theories exist in the region. It also evaluates how studies on Japan in the region contribute to global Japanese Studies and explores their potential for formulating concrete strategies to unsettle Eurocentric dominance of the discipline.

Jack H. Nagel, Rogers M. Smith, "Representation: Elections and Beyond" English | 2013 | pages: 347 | ISBN: 0812245148 | PDF | 1,7 mb In any democracy, the central problem of governance is how to inform, organize, and represent the opinions of the public in order to advance three goals: popular control over leaders, equality among citizens, and competent governance. In most political analyses, voting is emphasized as the central and essential process in achieving these goals. Yet democratic representation encompasses a great deal more than voter beliefs and behavior and, indeed, involves much more than the machinery of elections. Democracy requires government agencies that respond to voter decisions, a civil society in which powerful organized interests do not dominate all others, and communication systems that permit divergent voices to be heard.
