Описание: Black music has long played a dominant role in American music and has frequently been taken over and popularized by white musicians. This book presents an overview of this influence, as well as discussions of how white musicians, corporations, and entrepreneurs appropriated, adapted, and even stole this music. It addresses why and how this occurred throughout recent history and in a variety of musical idioms. Examples discussed include the convoluted history of the minstrel era, Black pop and rock artists, white blues, jazz, rhythm and blues, and hip-hop musicians. Further examination into American music then reveals how Black musicians rebelled against the white domination of swing music, and how African Americans have influenced classical music compositions and performance styles. The book highlights the prevalence and importance of Black music in virtually every American music style, the often-hidden or little-noticed interactions of Black and white musicians, and it answers questions about how the music business succeeded in monetizing Black musical styles to market this music to mass audiences.

Описание: In Conflict, Commerce, and an Aesthetic of Appropriation in the Italian Maritime Cities, 1000-1150, Karen Rose Mathews analyzes the relationship between war, trade, and the use of spolia (appropriated objects from past and foreign cultures) as architectural decoration in the public monuments of the Italian maritime republics in the eleventh and twelfth centuries. This comparative study addressing five urban centers argues that the multivalence of spolia and their openness to new interpretations made them the ideal visual form to define a distinct Mediterranean identity for the inhabitants of these cities, celebrating the wealth and prestige that resulted from the paired endeavors of war and commerce while referencing the cultures across the sea that inspired the greatest hostility, fear, or admiration.

Описание: This book is a reprint of an academic treatise completed and copyrighted in 2008. Its objective was to illuminate unobserved connections between genealogical statements in the ancient Greek myths and the historical shift of political power westward from the Greek cities of coastal Asia Minor to the well-known metropoleis of mainland Greece.
This book is a reprint of an academic treatise that illuminates previously unobserved connections between the genealogical elements in the ancient Greek myths and the historical shift of political power westward from the Greek cities of coastal Asia Minor to the well known metropoleis of mainland Greece in the centuries of transition between the Archaic Period and the era of the Classical Greek city-states. Since this treatise has been uncommonly controversial in the aftermath of its original composition, it seemed imperative to publish it in its original unabridged form. It is equally clear that there is also a call for a less detailed, more user-friendly rendition. That sequel is presently on the agenda and shall be forthcoming in the near future.

This book provides a normative analysis of the justifications and limits of asset confiscation as a crime control measure in a comparative perspective. More specifically, it deals with what in this context is referred to as extended appropriation, that is, confiscation in cases where the causal link between the property (the proceeds of crime) in question and the predicate offence(s) is less obvious. Particular focus is placed on extended criminal confiscation and civil recovery. These forms of confiscation give rise to a number of complex legal issues.
The overarching purpose of the book is to provide an analysis of the nature of extended appropriation within the criminal justice system and to discuss a normative framework that may assist in assessing the legitimacy of such confiscation schemes. It also seeks to explore what a fair and reasonable balance between the interests of the state and those of the individual in this field might look like. The analysis starts from an acknowledgement not only of the need for having effective confiscation regimes in place, but also of the need for protecting the interests of the individual. It is hoped that the book will stimulate further discussion on the legitimacy of asset recovery as a crime control measure.

Название: The Architectural Drawings of Sir Christopher Wren at All Souls College, Oxford: A Complete Catalogue (Reinterpreting Classicism: Culture, Reaction & Appropriation) ISBN: 075464071X ISBN-13(EAN): 9780754640714 Издательство: Ashgate Цена: 116870.00 T Наличие на складе: Нет в наличии. Описание: Sir Christopher Wren (1632-1723) was an English designer, mathematician and the Savilian Professor of Astronomy at Oxford University. It was not until 1663 that Wren tried his hand at architecture, and his first commission was the job of designing Pembroke College Chapel at Cambridge University. Next was the Sheldonian Theatre in Oxford, based on the classical design of the Roman Theatre of Marcellus. This was the work that made Wren's reputation as an architect. From these beginnings Wren became the greatest architect of his time and is best known for his work in London after the Great Fire of 1666, in particular his iconic work on the restoration of St Paul's Cathedral.This catalogue is a comprehensive survey of the collection of Wren workshop drawings held by All Souls College, Oxford. It comprises 453 illustrations by Wren himself and by Edward Woodroofe, Thomas Laine and most notably by Nicholas Hawksmoor. Several other lesser known members of Wren's atelier are also represented in the archive.From humble parish church to grand plans for palaces and cathedrals, these drawings attest to the scope of Wren's career. He worked on projects for the greatest patrons of the period, redesigning parts of Hampton Court, Whitehall and Windsor. For Oxford and Cambridge Universities he was commissioned to build colleges and additional buildings for those already established. Wren also prepared plans for new work at Westminster School, his alma mater.In addition to expanding our understanding of how Wren's buildings developed from his imagination to finished construction we are offered a unique insight into the way in which the architect ran his studio. Surprisingly many of the drawings were delegated to trusted draughtsmen such as Hawksmoor and Laine. We see the emergence and development of their own talent alongside that of Wren.This is an indispensable resource for students of the career of Sir Christopher Wren, the work of his assistants, and the history of the English Baroque in architecture.
