Free Download Re-Membering the Present: The Medieval German Poet-Minstrel in Cultural Context By Maria Dobozy
2005 | 368 Pages | ISBN: 2503558704 | PDF | 3 MB
This book examines the social and cultural conditions that governed performance art in the German Middle Ages from 1170 to 1400. Poet-performers are central to understanding both literature and performance art because these entertainers, more than any other group, created, disseminated, and interpreted the medieval poetic oeuvre. Performance theory is used as a framework throughout.Since no social history of poet-performers exists in English, part I presents a social history that re-examines what is known about social status, cultural image and employment. Part II investigates the affective nature of performance and focuses on poet-composer-performers. This study argues that performance techniques (gesture, voice, instrumentation) that create an electrifying experience for audiences determine the performer's lifestyle and also the thematic and rhetorical strategies of their compositions.The itinerant poet-performer presented himself as a moral judge and critic of epoch-making political events. His performances transform time, place and people and thus become a socializing process that can change people's attitudes. Poet-minstrels were capable of re-membering the listeners' memories of the past during the intense present of the performance. Readings of several texts are offered, including romances, the political songs of well-known poet-performers (i.e. Walther von der Vogelweide) and the gnomic poets (Spruchdichter) whose songs have been neglected until recently. The songs are quite intricate and multivalent as they masterfully display an aesthetic totally integrated with their performative context.

Free Download Maja Lundqvist, "Re-Imagining Sexual Harassment: Perspectives from the Nordic Region"
English | ISBN: 1447366522 | 2023 | 258 pages | PDF | 5 MB
EPDF and EPUB available Open Access under CC-BY-NC-ND licence. The #MeToo movement sparked many debates and increased the demand for more problematised perspectives on the issue of sexual harassment. This book opens up new understandings of sexual harassment by bringing researchers, writers and policy makers in the Nordic region into dialogue within an ambitious volume. It asks what role juridical frameworks can and should play in prevention and raises questions about how the image of Nordic states - as gender equal, colour-blind and with strong welfare - affects the work against sexual harassment in the region. Re-imagining definitions of justice, violence, exploitation and work, this book offers knowledge of immediate importance for everyone working to prevent sexual harassment, through research, policy making or in everyday practice.

Free Download Rassismus und Rechtsextremismus. Rassistische Argumentationsmuster und ihre historischen Entwicklungslinien By Peter Glanninger
2009 | 246 Pages | ISBN: 3631575017 | PDF | 2 MB
Antisemitismus und Rassismus haben sich in der Vergangenheit als Ausgrenzungsideologien etabliert. Seither bedient man sich ihrer je nach Bedarf und sie können nach Belieben abgeändert werden. Während des Nationalsozialismus wurde mit ihnen eine umfassende ideologische Weltsicht begründet. Die grundlegenden Vorstellungen wurden später von rechtsextremistischen Aktivisten erneut aufgenommen, umgeformt und den aktuellen Verhältnissen angepasst. Dabei lässt sich eine historische Kontinuität rassistischer und antisemitischer Argumentationsmuster nachweisen, die vom 19. Jahrhundert bis in die Gegenwart reicht. Eine Darstellung dieser Zusammenhänge soll es erleichtern, rechtsextremistisches rassistisches Denken und die darin enthaltenen menschenverachtenden Einstellungen zu erkennen.

Free Download Peter Eicher, "Raising the Flag: America's First Envoys in Faraway Lands "
English | ISBN: 1612349706 | 2018 | 416 pages | EPUB | 4 MB
Since its inception the United States has sent envoys to advance American interests abroad, both across oceans and to areas that later became part of the country. Little has been known about these first envoys until now. From China to Chile, Tripoli to Tahiti, Mexico to Muscat, Peter D. Eicher chronicles the experience of the first American envoys in foreign lands. Their stories, often stranger than fiction, are replete with intrigues, revolutions, riots, war, shipwrecks, swashbucklers, desperadoes, and bootleggers. The circumstances the diplomats faced were precursors to today's headlines: Americans at war in the Middle East, intervention in Latin America, pirates off Africa, trade deficits with China.

Free Download Jim Eber, "Raising the Bar: The Future of Fine Chocolate"
English | 2019 | ISBN: 0969192142 | EPUB | pages: 300 | 4.2 mb
"Just give me all your chocolate and no one gets hurt!" Billions of us worldwide understand what it means to scream those words. We feel lost-even unhinged-without chocolate's pleasures. And if chocolate is the music that makes our days brighter, fine chocolate is the symphony-the richest, most complex form in the chocolate universe. The most important movement in that symphony's centuries-old existence is now beginning. And that future is... what? A world of gray monochromatic flavor, or one rich with a rainbow of flavors that capture the myriad pleasures and diversity of the cocoa bean? In the spirit of Michael Pollan's The Omnivore's Dilemma, Raising the Bar: The Future of Fine Chocolate tells the story of what that next movement in the fine flavor chocolate symphony might hold. Told in four lively parts covering everything from before the bean to after the bar-genetics, farming, manufacturing, and bonbons-the book features interviews with dozens of international stakeholders across the fine flavor industry to consider the promises and pitfalls ahead. It looks through what is happening today to understand where things are going, while unwrapping the possibilities for the millions and millions of us who believe that life without the very best chocolate is no life at all.Part OneSeeds of Change: Genetics and FlavorThe genetic story of the future of flavor cacao told through discussions with researchers, scientists, and experts around the world who are involved at the genetic level: from the mapping of the cacao genome to the Heirloom Cacao Preservation Initiative (HCP). The HCP seeks to connect flavor to genetics to the work being done on the ground in order to confront the spread of low-flavor beans and ensure cacao quality and diversity for future generations.Part TwoFrom the Ground Up: Farmers, Farming, and FlavorDiscussion of the issues of growing cacao from an ecological and sustainable perspective given the reality of where it is grown. Interviews and stories cover the majority of fine flavor growing regions and myriad efforts to add value and values to fine flavor chocolate; preserve, protect, and propagate flavor cacao for the future; and ensure that the beans are as good as they can possibly be. The realities and possibilities of fair trade chocolate and the work being done on fermentation are also covered.Part ThreeTo Market, To Market: Craftsmanship, Customer Education and FlavorCan consumers learn to slow down, taste, explore, and value the costly complexity of fine chocolate? Though the future looks bright by some measurements, sometimes the numbers aren't what they seem... Discussions with both artisan and traditional chocolate manufacturers around the world on how they see the market and sources for fine flavor beans and what they are doing to educate their customers about their craft, including a survey of the nature of raw, organic, and functional chocolate.Part FourPerforming Flavor: The Art of the ChocolatierWhether watching over those creations, traveling the world to discover new pairings, or simply taking their love of Junior Mints to the highest level, the worl''s fine flavor chocolatiers are all deeply aware of the "stage" they work on and the importance of taste in every performance. The future of their creations-the most flavorful and beautiful bonbons and confections in the world-are discussed as these chocolatiers confront the issues surrounding the preservation of their craft and how they see their flavors and recipe development changing (or not) in the future.
