Описание: Music can answer questions that often confound more discursive modes of thought. Music takes concepts that are all too familiar, reframes these concepts, and returns them to us with incisive clarity and renewed vision. Unity is one of these ""all too familiar concepts,"" thrown around by politicians, journalists, and pastors as if we all know what it means. By turning to music, especially musical space, the relational structure of unity becomes less abstract and more tangible within our philosophy. Arnold Schoenberg, as an inherently musical thinker, is our guide in this study of unity. His reworking of musical structure, dissonance, and metaphysics transformed the tonal language and aesthetic landscape of twentieth-century music. His philosophy of compositional unity helps us to deconstruct and reconceive how unity can be understood and worked with both aesthetically and theologically. This project also critiques Schoenberg's often monadic musical metaphysic by turning to Colin Gunton's conviction that the particularity and unity at the heart of God's triune being should guide all of our theological endeavors. Throughout, music accompanies our thinking, demonstrating not only how theology can benefit the philosophy of music but also how the philosophy of music can enrich and augment theological discourse. ""Stearns's Handling Dissonance boldly and deftly enacts an intellectual exchange between a contemporary trinitarian theologian and one of the most profound composer-theorists of all time. Renovating the concept of unity as inherently bound up with multiplicity, the study enriches theological thinking through musical models and fertilizes musical thinking through theological principles."" --Matthew Arndt, University of Iowa School of Music ""In Handling Dissonance, Chelle L. Stearns gives us new language and a new way of thinking about a Trinitarian conception of unity and its relation to such ideas as materiality, substance, particularity, and freedom . . . This is an engaging and important book for theologians and music scholars alike."" --Mark A. Peters, President, Society for Christian Scholarship in Music ""Compellingly argued and incisively theorized, Handling Dissonance is a sustained attack on faults in the underlying principles of Schoenberg's aesthetic theology, and a foil for redemptive meditation on Colin Gunton's Trinitarian theology--a true landmark in interdisciplinary thought."" --Bennett Zon, Durham University ""Chelle L. Stearns's Handling Dissonance is a fascinating study of Schoenberg's 'aesthetic theology' . . . Schoenberg's understanding of unity--one that dissolves particularity in itself--is placed up against Gunton's and Begbie's concepts of unity that celebrate the particular and allow it to thrive. The book will be of value to students of music theory and philosophy as well as theology."" --Jack Boss, University of Oregon Chelle L. Stearns is Associate Professor of Theology at The Seattle School of Theology & Psychology in Seattle. She received her PhD from the University of St. Andrews as part of the Institute for Theology, Imagination, and the Arts.
Bamber says BEAR TRAP is not an expos , not a tell-all tale. Instead, he says it's a book about the human drama of watching a venerable global institution's untimely collapse. Released on the day Lehman Brothers declared bankruptcy, BEAR TRAP rocketed to the near top of the bestseller lists as the country held its breath waiting for the Panic and "Great Recession" that followed.
"This (book) just tells the story from someone who's there. It takes the reader and puts them into my seat. We all know how this ended, but (this book) is really all about the journey there.'" --Anthony Cronin, Business Editor, The Day's Business

Автор: Peter N. Stearns Название: Cultural Change in Modern World History: Cases, Causes and Consequences ISBN: 135005433X ISBN-13(EAN): 9781350054332 Издательство: Bloomsbury Academic Рейтинг: Цена: 84480.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: In this innovative textbook, leading world historian Peter Stearns analyses key examples of culture change from around the world, highlighting what culture change involves and how it can be explained and assessed, both historically and in the contemporary world.
Culture change is one of the most interesting and significant features of human society, but until now there has been no book for the classroom which looks explicitly at this phenomenon. Cultural Change in Modern World History covers different kinds and levels of culture change since 1500 - from colonial culture contact in British India to modernization in Meiji Japan and changing attitudes towards gay marriage in the past decade - considering how we should define culture change, how to deal with causation and how to evaluate continuities and consequences. Stearns addresses fundamental questions: why do groups of people change their beliefs and values, and what happens when they do? Conversely, why do some groups resist culture change, and how do some manage to combine novel and more traditional cultural components?
Figuring out how better to understand why groups or societies change their minds - or refuse to do so - provides a crucial perspective on human behaviors and values. As the first book to explore this important question, Cultural Change in Modern World History is a ground-breaking text for students of world history, cultural history and anthropology.

A textbook of primary sources of key events in history that have altered the past While world history materials date back to prehistoric times, the field itself is relatively young. Indeed, when the first edition of Peter Stearns’s best-selling World History in Documents was published in 1998, world history was poised for explosive growth, with the College Board approving the AP world history curriculum in 2000, and the exam shortly thereafter. At the university level, survey world history courses are increasingly required for history majors, and graduate programs in world history are multiplying in the U.S. and overseas. World events have changed as rapidly as the field of world history itself, making the long-awaited second edition of World History in Documents especially timely. In addition to including a new preface, focusing on current trends in the field, Stearns has updated forty percent of the textbook, paying particular attention to global processes throughout history. The book also covers key events that have altered world history since the publication of the first edition, including terrorism, global consumerism, and environmental issues.
