The Musical Novel: Imitation of Musical Structure, Performance, and Reception in Contemporary Fiction By Emily Petermann 2014 | 250 Pages | ISBN: 1571135928 | PDF | 4 MB What is a "musical novel"? This book defines the genre as musical not primarily in terms of its content, but in its form. The musical novel crosses medial boundaries, aspiring to techniques, structures, and impressions similar tothose of music. It takes music as a model for its own construction, borrowing techniques and forms that range from immediately perceptible, essential aspects of music (rhythm, timbre, the simultaneity of multiple voices) to microstructural (jazz riffs, call and response, leitmotifs) and macrostructural elements (themes and variations, symphonies, albums). The musical novel also evokes the performance context by imitating elements of spontaneity that characterize improvised jazz or audience interaction.The Musical Novel builds upon theories of intermediality and semiotics to analyze the musical structures, forms, and techniques in two groups of musical novels, which serve as case studies. The first group imitates an entire musical genre and consists of jazz novels by Toni Morrison, Albert Murray, Xam Wilson Cartiér, Stanley Crouch, Jack Fuller, Michael Ondaatje, and Christian Gailly. The secondgroup of novels, by Richard Powers, Gabriel Josipovici, Rachel Cusk, Nancy Huston, and Thomas Bernhard, imitates a single piece of music, J. S. Bach's Goldberg Variations.Emily Petermann is Assistant Professor of American Literature at the University of Konstanz.  The Monastic Heart: 50 Simple Practices for a Contemplative and Fulfilling Life by Joan Chittister English | September 21, 2021 | ISBN: 0593239407 | 288 pages | EPUB | 3.20 Mb The activist, nun, and esteemed spiritual voice who has twice appeared on OprahWinfrey's Super Soul Sunday sounds the call to create a monastery within ourselves-to cultivate wisdom and resilience so that we may join God in the work of renewal, restoration, and justice right where we are.  The Modern Epidemic: A History of Tuberculosis in Japan By William Johnston 1995 | 432 Pages | ISBN: 0674579127 | PDF | 93 MB This work provides a historical and comparative analysis of modern Japan's epidemic of tuberculosis. It demonstrates the links between such epidemics and the social changes that accompanied modernization, and examines the responses of states, private organizations and individuals to these epidemics  Edwin Morgan, James McGonigal, John Coyle, "The Midnight Letterbox: Selected Letters 1950-2010" English | 2015 | ISBN: 178410079X | EPUB | pages: 320 | 1.3 mb One of the central figures of 20th-century Scottish literature, Edwin Morgan was a prolific letter writer. His correspondence, like his poetry, is wide-ranging, full of generosity and enthusiasm, and above all testament to his lifelong commitment to exploring the possibilities of poetry. This selection of his letters, spanning Morgan's full career as a teacher and writer, enables readers to track the development of his ideas, his friendships, and his creative collaborations. At the same time it provides a superbly engaging portrait of a man with a boundless interest in the fast-changing world around him.  The Meiji Unification Through the Lens of Ishikawa Prefecture By James C. Baxter 1995 | 394 Pages | ISBN: 0674564669 | PDF | 73 MB Credit for the swift unification of Japan following the 1868 overthrow of the Tokugawa shogunate is usually given to the national leaders who instigated the coup and formed the new Meiji government. But is brilliant leadership at the top sufficient to explain how regional separatist tendencies and loyalties to the old lords were overcome in the formation of a nationally unified state? On the contrary, argues James C. Baxter. Though plans were drawn up by policy makers in Tokyo, the efforts of citizens all over the country were required to implement these plans and create a sense of national identity among local populations.Drawing on extensive archival resources, Baxter describes the transformation of the Tokugawa domain of Kaga into the Meiji prefecture of Ishikawa. The result is a richly detailed study that helps explain how Japan achieved national unity without the bloody struggles that have often accompanied modernization and nation-building.  D Dhebar, "The Mechanics of 3G Cryptography" English | ISBN: 1445701456 | 2009 | 130 pages | EPUB | 8 MB There is a plethora of books available on 3G mobile technology in its entirety, but when it comes to the actual mechanics of the cryptographic algorithms involved the information is typically vague. If your interest is in the precise workings of 3G cryptography then this book is for you; it is perhaps the only book of its kind. Every single original algorithm of 3G User Equipment (3G mobile phones) is explained in explicit detail, and each is coupled with a thorough example. The algorithms include the standardised functions, UEA1 for confidentiality and UIA1 for integrity, along with Kasumi, the corresponding kernel algorithm, and also all the non-standardised algorithms for authentication and key agreement, along with their corresponding kernel algorithm, Rijndael (A.E.S.). Contained here is all the information required to literally pencil-and-paper all the cryptographic inputs to outputs of 3G mobiles...patience not included!  The Making of an African Working Class: Politics, Law, and Cultural Protest in the Manual Workers Union of Botswana By Pnina Werbner 2014 | 340 Pages | ISBN: 0745334962 | EPUB | 3 MB The Making of an African Working Class explores the formation of working class identity among low-paid African workers. In arguing for a radical public anthropology of worker identity, the book seeks to analyse the cultural, legal, ideological and experiential dimensions of labour activism often neglected in other labour studies.Pnina Werbner shows that by fusing cosmopolitan and local popular cultural forms of protest, unionists have created a distinctive, vernacular way of being a worker in Botswana: one that does not deny workers' roots at home, in the countryside, while being cognisant of a wider world of cosmopolitan labour rights. The assertion of working class dignity, honour and respect, Pnina argues, is a powerful motivating force for manual workers.Against legal-sceptical approaches, The Making of an African Working Class argues that in challenging the government - their employer - in court, manual workers' protests and mobilisation are deeply embedded in ethics, social justice and the law.  The Long Covid Handbook by Gez Medinger, Danny Altmann English | February 1st, 2023 | ISBN: 1529900123 | 320 pages | True EPUB | 3.40 MB Understand, manage, and treat Long Covid.  Samuel H. Kernell, Gary C. Jacobson, Thad Kousser, Lynn Vavreck, Timothy R. Johnson, "The Logic of American Politics, 10th Edition" English | 2021 | ISBN: 1071839802, 1071815970 | 784 pages | True PDF | 34.7 MB Why does the American political system work the way it does?  Peter Heehs, "The Lives of Sri Aurobindo" English | 2008 | ISBN: 0231140983 | PDF | pages: 529 | 17.1 mb Since his death in 1950, Sri Aurobindo Ghose has been known primarily as a yogi and a philosopher of spiritual evolution who was nominated for the Nobel Prize in peace and literature. But the years Aurobindo spent in yogic retirement were preceded by nearly four decades of rich public and intellectual work. Biographers usually focus solely on Aurobindo's life as a politician or sage, but he was also a scholar, a revolutionary, a poet, a philosopher, a social and cultural theorist, and the inspiration for an experiment in communal living. |
