Описание: Analysis of improvisation as a compositional practice in the Commedia dell'Arte and related traditions from the Renaissance to the 21st century. Domenic Pietropaolo takes textual material from the stage traditions of Italy, France, Germany and England, and covers comedic drama, dance, pantomime and dramatic theory, and more. He shines a light onto 'the signs of improvised communication'. The book is comprehensive in its analysis of improvised dramatic art across theatrical genres, and is multimodal in looking at the spoken word, gestural and non-verbal signs. The book focusses on dramatic text as well as: - The semiotics of stage discourse, including semantic, syntactic and pragmatic aspects of sign production - The physical and material conditions of sign-production including biomechanical limitations of masks and costumes. Semiotics and Pragmatics of Stage Improvisation is the product of an entire career spent researching the semiotics of the stage and it is essential reading for semioticians and students of performance arts.

Born in the late 19th century, jazz gained mainstream popularity during a volatile period of racial segregation and gender inequality. It was in these adverse conditions that jazz performers discovered the power of dress as a visual tool used to defy mainstream societal constructs, shaping a new fashion and style aesthetic. Fashion and Jazz is the first study to identify the behaviours, signs and meanings that defined this newly evolving subculture.
Drawing on fashion studies and cultural theory, the book provides an in-depth analysis of the social and political entanglements of jazz and dress, with individual chapters exploring key themes such as race, class and gender. Including a wide variety of case studies, ranging from Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald to Louis Armstrong and Chet Baker, it presents a critical and cultural analysis of jazz performers as modern icons of fashion and popular style.
Addressing a number of previously underexplored areas of jazz culture, such as modern dandyism and the link between drug use and glamorous dress, Fashion and Jazz provides a fascinating history of fashion's dialogue with African-American art and style. It is essential reading for students of fashion, cultural studies, African-American studies and history.

This book uses Idioms (sayings) to provide a different perspective of the English language; words that say one thing but mean another. An example of a well know Idiom is the saying;" It's raining cats and dogs." The saying doesn't mean that dogs and cats are falling from the sky, but rather that it's raining very hard. The book is divided into four chapters, the sayings in each chapter are divided into three parts. The first part list the saying, the second part explains the meaning of the saying, and the third part provides an example that is relative to everyday experiences. The third part is what differentiates this book from other books on Idioms
The first chapter provides lessons learned from everyday sayings. Sayings that most adults are familiar with, but unfamiliar to most young adults. The second chapter provides sayings on how to: save money, how to spend it, how to stretch it, how to budget it, and how to compound it. Money management is one of the most important skills that must be learned to be financially stable. The third chapter provides thoughts on leadership and character. Leadership; it's not about being the best, it's about making other people better. Chapter three is also about; positive thinking, not fearing failure (we all have failed from time to time), being decisive, and taking a stand. Chapter four concentrates on how we interact with family members, friends, boyfriends and girlfriends, and employers.

Описание: "Eye-opening, hard-hitting, and an excellent, compelling read; this book will prove hard to put down, cultivating an intense roller coaster of emotions designed to involve readers not just in social or military issues; but in the perspectives of individual lives. Four years before the Stonewall riots, one Bob LeBlanc informed Marine Corps investigators "you have no right to ask" when they asked if he was homosexual. He did so again a year before Stonewall. In 1975, for the first time in American history, a federal judge issued a restraining order against the U.S. Military to halt the court martial of Bob for allegedly being gay. Bob's final legal fights with the Marines in 1975 and 1976 would fuel the fledgling gay rights movement throughout the U.S., which has evolved into today's LGBTQ Civil Rights movement - and yet until the publication of Silent Drums, these facts themselves were buried. It can be said that Bob LeBlanc is the Rosa Parks of today's LGBTQ Civil Rights movement."- Diane Donovan, Midwest Book Review -Winning marriage equality was barely the tip of the iceberg. "Silent Drums: Adapt, Improvise, Overcome!" reminds us of the sacrifices made in the past that we must build on well into the future because LGBTQ people still face often harsh discrimination in many states for employment, housing and medical care.Bob LeBlanc began fighting discrimination in 1965 as a Marine before, during and after 2 Combat tours in Vietnam... now he's also battling terminal cancer caused by his exposure to Agent Orange. Bob's life spans the entire length of the LGBTQ civil rights movement and directly involves U. S. Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy, who in 1975, for the first time in U.S. history as a judge on the 9th circuit court of appeals issued a restraining order that stopped the Marine Corps from dishonorably discharging him for being Gay; but that didn't come close to ending his personal struggle for full equality. Bob's and husband Julio's story will inspire you to fight ignorance and bigotry!Pam Daniels
