Stuffs and More Stuff on the Mind Chronicling time spent at libraries, Volunteering/donating to charities, Making my wayーsojourning!【電子書籍】[ Ainee Beland ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞The fluidity of these Massachusetts’ towns as depicted in this compilation of libraries, antiquarians, historical societies, museums and arts is a reflection. One could easily be the other since no genotype stands out were it not for the minutiae details rendering a DNA for their individual identity, all the while blending easily into the next leaving such structures as the embodiment for having existed.＜br /＞ Perhaps one day there can be a newsletter similarly to those of Slightly Foxed in Hoxton Square London, England. Channeling as they’ve done so well, of lesser known authors/artists who during their lifetime were not known or appreciated for their arts and knowledge except after their passing and thus a focus is brought about of their written works and put under the magnifying glass to be examined, cherished even for all they’d left behind. Documentation; in prints, written in journals, drawings, painted or such mediasーa canon, opus of who they were. This is what histories are made of ?an account, that hap-stance in the genre sought out on the shelves of the many libraries in the world.

The Star Wars Heresies Interpreting the Themes, Symbols and Philosophies of Episodes I, II and III【電子書籍】[ Paul F. McDonald ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Despite the insatiable public appetite for all things Star Wars, the more analytical side of the saga is all too often ignored. This book offers a new way of seeing George Lucas' space opera--particularly the prequel trilogy, a series never given a fair chance because of constant comparisons to the iconic originals. In the classic style of Joseph Campbell, the trilogy is viewed through the lens of myth and metaphor, revealing a body of work not only worthy of scholarly study but perhaps destined to find therein its home. A wide variety of philosophical and mythological themes are presented and expounded upon, drawing from a rich source of scholars, thinkers, writers, and poets from East and West alike. Heretical or not, the Star Wars prequels are a surprisingly rich source of insight into the saga--as well as the human drama--as a whole.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	1,856円

Mele on the Mauna Perpetuating Genealogies of Hawaiian Musical Activism on Maunakea【電子書籍】[ Joseph Keola Donaghy ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞In the summer of 2019, a group of kia'i, or protectors, made up of k?naka '?iwi (Native Hawaiians) and their allies came together to prevent the construction of the Thirty-Meter Telescope (TMT) on the dormant volcano Maunakea.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In ＜em＞Mele on the Mauna＜/em＞, Joseph Keola Donaghy explores how music, and especially haku mele, or Hawaiian language composers, played a crucial role in this defense. Musicians flocked to the mauna (mountain) to perform for the kia'i and a worldwide audience via social media. Haku mele created new songs at unprecedented levels, releasing many commercially with proceeds benefiting organizations providing support services and supplies to the kia'i. This book features over 30 of the author's interviews with individuals who participated in musical activities connected with this movement, including kia'i and their supporters, composers, musicians, and community leaders. Donaghy explores Indigenous Hawaiian concepts and theories like mana (power), mo'ok?'auhau and pilina (genealogy and relationships), kapu aloha (philosophical code of conduct), and aloha '?ina (love of land, patriotism), and western academic concepts like connectedness and community building, poetics, sound(ing) and silenc(e/ing), conflict, and creativity.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞Mele on the Mauna＜/em＞ illuminates how music played a powerful role in building solidarity, inspiration, and activism, reveling in the most contentious confrontations about protecting Maunakea and the outpouring of musical performances and creativity that occurred.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	3,522円
Liberalism, Theology, and the Performative in Antebellum American Literature【電子書籍】[ Patrick McDonald ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞The 1850s United States witnessed a far-reaching political, social, and economic crisis. Symptomatic of this, a wide range of narrative fiction from sentimental novels to sensational drama identifies a foundational link between liberal institutions and performative utterances. Auctions, trials, marriages, and contracts, this fiction contends, all depend on the self-constituting authority of words and performances which anybody and everybody can appropriate and are always subject to misfiring. Rather than viewing this as a liberatory and egalitarian political force, however, writers from Herman Melville and James Fenimore Cooper to Captain Mayne Reid and E.D.E.N. Southworth insist that such naked authority must be supplemented. A broad swath of 1850s literature insists that this supplement ought to come from Christianity. Anticipating thinkers like Carl Schmitt and Giorgio Agamben, these works suggest that legitimate political authority depends upon its ability to represent Christian transcendence and account for revealed truth, something firmly outside of speech acts’ and performance’s purview. In so doing, this diverse body of fiction registers a desire to reconstitute political authority on transcendent and representable ground, augmenting institutional reliance on mere words and assuaging the contemporary crises of confidence and authority.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	9,450円
The Road to Parnassus: Artist Strategies in Contemporary Art Rise and Success of Glasgow Artist Douglas Gordon and of the wider YBA generation【電子書籍】[ Diego Mantoan ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞How can one become a successful artist? Where should one start a career in the art world? What are useful strategies to achieve recognition in the art system? Such questions hoard in students' minds ever since entering art school and they probably chase every kind of art professional who is at an early career stage. “The Road to Parnassus” tries to understand what makes a good start in today's art world, who are influential players in the field and which strategies might apply. The swift career ascension of Glasgow artist Douglas Gordon ? one of today's leading visual artists ? and of the broader YBA generation that rose into worldwide prominence in the 1990s ? Damien Hirst and Sarah Lucas among the best known ? serves as a convenient case to analyse contemporary artist strategies. This book takes a multidisciplinary approach ? spanning from traditional art history, to sociology and economics ? pursuing the reconstruction of the field of forces in art as intended by French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu. Compared to previous publications on art system dynamics, such as Thompson's “The $12 Million Stuffed Shark”, this book offers an enhanced understanding of the factors that allow a young artist to enter the arena of contemporary art. The present research should help uncover the art system logic ? which appears enigmatic to non-experts ? revealing that artists are aware they need to consider global trends, beat competitors and meet the demands of dealers, collectors, curators and museums. This book furthers existing contributions on the YBAs (for example Stallabrass' “High Art Lite”), offering innovative conclusions on recent British art, such as on the duality between London and Glasgow, the gender opposition among emerging artists and the predominance of resourceful authors.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	8,457円

A Long Way Home A Long Way Home Based on A True Story That Stands as A Testament to the Truth That Love Never Fails, Hope Never Dies, and the greatest Victories Are Often Won in the Quietest Moments of A surrendered heart Gordon Goetsch 【電子書籍】 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞The journey that unfolds in these pages is at once deeply personal and universally resonantーa testament to resilience, to faith tested by fire, and to the enduring call of home across impossible distances. It speaks to anyone who has ever been forced to leave the familiar, who has faced fear and found courage, who has lost their way and somehow found the strength to continue. This is Clem's story, but in many ways, it belongs to an entire generationーthose who left their names carved on school desks and returned with them etched on memorial plaques, those who never returned at all, and those who came back carrying wounds both visible and hidden. It belongs to the women who waited, to the communities that changed in their absence, and to the children who grew up hearing only fragments of what their fathers had endured. As you turn these pages, you will walk with a young man from the Eastern Cape into the heart of global conflict and back again. You will feel the biting December wind of a German prison camp, the crushing weight of memory, and ultimately, the tentative promise of renewal. This journeyーbrutal, transformative, and ultimately redemptiveーis A Long Way Home. ーThe Author＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	1,657円

The Harpsichord Stringing Handbook【電子書籍】[ Thomas Donahue ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞The harpsichord was the standard keyboard instrument for three centuries before the invention of the piano. It enjoyed a revival in the second half of the twentieth century, but because of the interruption in its history as a more regularly used instrument, many details about its construction are lacking. In The Harpsichord Stringing Handbook, Thomas Donahue integrates available historical evidence and modern physical principlesーfrom both musicological and scientific literatureーto provide practical quantitative information about the stringing of this instrument.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The Harpsichord Stringing Handbook covers the composition and properties of iron and brass wire, the interrelationship of frequency to string length, safety factors involved with stringing, the scaling of string lengths, the calculation of diameters, and the determination of the transition from iron to brass in mixed-strung instruments. Supplemental topics include the elasticity and plasticity of wire, inharmonicity, tension and stress, and the interpolation of string lengths. Additional material includes data on selected historical harpsichords, absolute diameters of historical gauge numbering systems, a generated list of tensile strength values for historical wire, and sizes and tensile strengths of currently available wire.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This book offers specific guidance for instrument makers, restorers, curators, technicians, musicians, kit builders, wire manufacturers, and acousticians, filling in critical details that historical treatises and surviving instruments may not clearly address.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	12,038円
Kaskaskia The Lost Capital of Illinois【電子書籍】[ David MacDonald ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞This first comprehensive account of the Illinois village of Kaskaskia covers more than two hundred years in the vast and compelling history of the state. David MacDonald and Raine Waters explore Illinois’s first capital in great detail, from its foundation in 1703 to its destruction by the Mississippi River in the latter part of the nineteenth century, as well as everything in between: successes, setbacks, and the lives of the people who inhabited the space.＜/p＞ ＜p＞At the outset the Kaskaskia tribe, along with Jesuit missionaries and French traders, settled near the confluence of the Kaskaskia and Mississippi rivers, about sixty miles south of modern-day St. Louis. The town quickly became the largest French town and most prosperous settlement in the Illinois Country. After French control ended, Kaskaskia suffered under corrupt British and then inept American rule. In the 1790s the town revived and became the territorial capital, and in 1818 it became the first state capital. Along the way Kaskaskia was beset by disasters: crop failures, earthquakes, tornadoes, floods, epidemics, and the loss of the capital-city title to Vandalia. Likewise, human activity and industry eroded the river’s banks, causing the river to change course and eventually wash away the settlement. All that remains of the state’s first capital today is a village several miles from the original site.＜/p＞ ＜p＞MacDonald and Waters focus on the town’s growth, struggles, prosperity, decline, and obliteration, providing an overview of its domestic architecture to reveal how its residents lived. Debunking the notion of a folklore tradition about a curse on the town, the authors instead trace those stories to late nineteenth-century journalistic inventions. The result is a vibrant, heavily illustrated, and highly readable history of Kaskaskia that sheds light on the entire early history of Illinois.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	2,254円
Performing the Temple of Liberty Slavery, Theater, and Popular Culture in London and Philadelphia, 1760?1850【電子書籍】[ Jenna M. Gibbs ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞＜strong＞How popular theater, including blackface characters, reflected and influenced attitudes toward race, the slave trade, and ideas of liberty in early America.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Jenna M. Gibbs explores the world of theatrical and related print production on both sides of the Atlantic in an age of remarkable political and social change. Her deeply researched study of working-class and middling entertainment covers the period of the American Revolution through the first half of the nineteenth century, examining controversies over the place of black people in the Anglo-American moral imagination. Taking a transatlantic and nearly century-long view, ＜em＞Performing the Temple of Liberty＜/em＞ draws on a wide range of performed texts as well as ephemeraーbroadsides, ballads, and cartoonsーand traces changes in white racial attitudes.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Gibbs asks how popular entertainment incorporated and helped define concepts of liberty, natural rights, the nature of blackness, and the evils of slavery while also generating widespread acceptance, in America and in Great Britain, of blackface performance as a form of racial ridicule. Readers follow the migration of theatrical texts, images, and performers between London and Philadelphia. The story is not flattering to either the United States or Great Britain. Gibbs's account demonstrates how British portrayals of Africans ran to the sympathetic and to a definition of liberty that produced slave manumission in 1833 yet reflected an increasingly racialized sense of cultural superiority. On the American stage, the treatment of blacks devolved into a denigrating, patronizing view embedded both in blackface burlesque and in the idea of "Liberty," the figure of the white goddess.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞Performing the Temple of Liberty＜/em＞ will appeal to readers across disciplinary lines of history, literature, theater history, and culture studies. Scholars and students interested in slavery and abolition, British and American politics and culture, and Atlantic history will also take an interest in this provocative work.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	7,688円
J.E.H. MacDonald Up Close The Artist's Materials and Techniques【電子書籍】[ Kate Helwig ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞At the height of his career, J.E.H. MacDonald’s paintings and oil sketches reveal a mastery of colour mixing, a sureness of brushstroke, and a deep understanding of compositional design. His striking landscapes and views of nature are an important artistic legacy and confirm his essential place among the Group of Seven painters.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞J.E.H. MacDonald Up Close＜/em＞ provides a fresh interpretation of MacDonald’s artistic development and sheds new light on questions of authenticity and dating surrounding MacDonald’s paintings.

Josephine La Belle De Nuit Based on a True Story of Music, Science, Faith ? and the Darkest Desires【電子書籍】[ Josephine deBois ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Dr. Ludwig Mann is a conductor and a brilliant musical genius, capturing the hearts and ears of audiences worldwide through his live and recorded performances, particularly of Mozarts music. His successful and financially lucrative career has been designed by his beautiful, sensual, but shrewd, manager Josephine deBois. At first, it appears that Josephine truly has Ludwigs best interests at heart, but her duplicitous nature soon shows through. She definitely has ulterior motives, but that is only a small part of the questions, intrigue, and violence that swirls around Ludwig and Josephines questionable relationship the cardinal Marchetto Caccini, the high ranging priest Giovanni Landini, the brilliant Nobel Price ready scientist Duilio Paioni; and the mystic woman Sora in a desolated Korean temple all have a share in them. Although Ludwig and Josephine will eventually marry, it is clear that Ludwigs true heart belongs with Tiffany, a young woman whose life is more intertwined with his than even he knows. While Josephine initiates the union, it is for her own purpose. While she is an incredibly sexual woman, albeit in a dark way, it seems her heart belongs to no one as she is urging sexual encounters in violent liaisons that usually take place in grungy rooms above dark alleys. At the end, Samuel, a Ney York police Sargent, finally resolves the case but who cares about a truth so unbelievable that nobody will ever believe it.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	607円

The Sublimity of Document Cinema as Diorama【電子書籍】[ Scott MacDonald ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞＜em＞The Sublimity of Document: Cinema as Diorama＜/em＞ is a collection of in-depth, substantive interviews with moving-image artists working "avant-doc, that is, making films that explore the territory between documentary and experimental cinema. The book uses the early history of the museum habitat diorama of animal life, specifically the Hall of African Mammals at the American Museum of Natural History, as a way of rethinking both early and modern cinema document--and especially those recent filmmakers and films that are devoted to providing viewers with panoramic documentations of places and events that otherwise they might never have opportunities to experience in person. This international collection of 27 interviews follows on MacDonald's earlier ＜em＞Avant-Doc: Intersections of Documentary and Avant-Garde Cinema＜/em＞ (Oxford, 2015). The interviews, organized panoramically within the collection, are dense with information and insight, and readable by specialists and non-specialists alike. In most instances, these are the most in-depth and expansive-sometimes the first-interviews with these filmmakers. Together, these interviews offer an engaging panorama of the recent history and geography of cinema devoted to documenting the world around us, as well as an in-depth look at the challenges and accomplishments of filmmakers willing to go anywhere on the planet (or on the internet!) to document what they believe we need to see. MacDonald's general introduction provides an overall context for the collection, which includes interviews with Ron Fricke, Gustav Deutsch, Laura Poitras, Fred Wiseman, Nikolaus Geyrhalter, Bill Morrison, Brett Story, Abbas Kiarostami, Lois Pati?o, Dominic Gagnon, Erin Espelie, Yance Ford, Janet Biggs, Carlos Adriano, Craig Johnson, Ben Russell, Betzy Bromberg, James Benning, Maxim Pozdorovkin, along with several veterans of Harvard's Sensory Ethnography Lab (and with the executive directors of the distributor, Documentary Educational Resources, which has served the field of independent documentary for nearly fifty years)--each interview is introduced with MacDonald's overview of the interviewee's life and work. The book includes filmographies and selected bibliographies for all the filmmakers.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	4,932円
Nature and the Nation in Fin-de-Si?cle France The Art of Emile Gall? and the Ecole de Nancy【電子書籍】[ Jessica M. Dandona ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞By the time of his death in 1904, critics, arts reformers, and government officials were near universal in their praise of Art Nouveau designer Emile Gall? (1846?1904), whose works they described as the essence of French design. Many even went so far as to argue that the artist’s creations could reinvigorate France’s fading arts industries and help restore its economic prosperity by defining a modern style to represent the nation. For fin-de-si?cle viewers, Gall?’s works constituted powerful reflections on the idea of national belonging, modernity, and the role of the arts in political engagement. While existing scholarship has largely focused on the artist’s innovative technical processes, a close analysis of Gall?’s works brings to light the surprisingly complex ways in which his fragile creations were imbricated in the political turmoil that characterized fin-de-si?cle France. Examining Gall?’s works inspired by Japanese art, his patriotically inflected designs for the Universal Exposition of 1889, his artistic manifesto in support of Dreyfus created in 1900, and finally, his late works that explore the concept of evolution, this book reveals how Gall? returns again and again to the question of national identity as the central issue in his work.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	10,280円

Last Barriers Photographs of Wilderness in the Gulf Islands National Seashore【電子書籍】[ Donald Muir Bradburn ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Rarely has a book of photography performed a more poignant and immediate service in preserving a natural Mississippi wonder. The Mississippi Gulf Coast barrier islands captured the heart and mind of Donald Bradburn (b. 1924) in childhood. He became fascinated with the natural history and ornithology he witnessed. To him, the islands, especially Horn Island with its dark forests, high dunes, and deserted beaches, represented unbounded freedom and the ideal of a timeless world.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Years later, when the National Park Service threatened to open the islands to "almost unlimited opportunities for camping, picnicking, water skiing, boating, bicycling, hiking, and bird watching," Bradburn became an activist for preservation, focusing on saving Horn Island and Petit Bois Island as unchanged wilderness. In addition to supporting legislation that would keep both islands part of the National Wilderness System, Bradburn photographed the islands and their plants to show conservationist groups and individuals what was at stake and motivate them to join the fight. Eventually, through his efforts and those of others, Congress passed the National Parks and Recreation Act of 1978, which designated Horn and Petit Bois Islands as wilderness. For a time, the legislation saved a place shimmering with natural grace. After the fright and insult of the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, Bradburn's photographs are an even more deeply felt act of preservation.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞Last Barriers: Photographs from the Gulf Islands National Seashore＜/em＞ is a collection of 120 images taken of the Gulf Coast islands that preoccupied his life and photography. The large majority of these are of Horn Island long before Hurricane Katrina and include landscapes in various weather conditions and during different times of the day, flora and fauna, and various habitats, seen either close-up or from afar. Each is accompanied by a detailed caption stating the date taken, the biological information of the species and plants depicted, and landscape descriptions. In a personal essay Bradburn movingly reflects on his attachment to these island wonders and records the history of the efforts to save them.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	5,306円

Versailles Mirrored The Power of Luxury, Louis XIV to Donald Trump【電子書籍】[ Robert Wellington ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞＜strong＞Why has Louis XIV's Palace of Versailles,＜/strong＞ ＜strong＞defining symbol of hedonistic opulence in 17th-century France and synonymous with the notion of the divine right of kings,＜/strong＞ ＜strong＞continued to shape the aesthetics of cultural capital in the centuries since his death?＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞In ＜em＞Versailles Mirrored＜/em＞, Robert Wellington tracks this enduring fascination with the Sun King's palace through eight case studies spanning the 17th to 21st centuries. The book demonstrates how the extravagant palace style began as a symbol of the state in the 17th century; how it was adopted by the nouveau riche to show off their financial success in the 19th century; and, remarkably, how that palace look returned to play a role in statecraft in the hands of US President Donald Trump. Wellington links the aristocratic architectural traditions of France, England, and Germany to North America through the lens of Versailles, French architecture, and the decorative arts.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Opening with a brief overview of the history of Versailles and the political and cultural motivations of its creation, subsequent chapters address aristocratic buildings in France and Germany built by the Sun King's contemporaries; historicism in the 19th century in Britain, Germany, and America; and the present day, with Trump's buildings and Ch?teau Louis XIV, known as the 'world's most expensive home', purchased by the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In uncovering the motivations of those patrons, the book ultimately reveals why Versailles remains a powerful point of reference for those who wish to flaunt their social, cultural, and political capital.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	4,433円
