Unlike the often-saccharine pop music sanctioned by the Soviet state Ukrainian punk musicians of the 1980s Kyiv underground adapted ideologies of rock to roast the absurdities of late Soviet life to articulate new ways of being Ukrainian and to celebrate the cathartic pleasures of collective gatherings organized around musical performances. This book tells the story of Tantsi Dances a 1989 semi-official cassette release by the now-legendary Ukrainian punk band Vopli Vidopliassova known to fans simply as VV pronounced “Ve-Ve”. Their disruptive musical sounds ironic lyrics use of language and propulsive performances toyed with the distinctions between official and unofficial Soviet culture. VV's Tantsi exemplifies how Soviet musical cultures existed within an ecosystem of contradictions as entrenched state infrastructures collided with emergent youth subcultures on the quicksand of late Soviet life. Today Tantsi continues to invite us to dance while we laugh or cry at the absurdities of everyday life. hardcover

rif. B9781501374197Paperback / softback. New. This open access book positions itself at the intersection of world literature studies literary anthropology and philosophical critiques of ‘world’ and ‘globe’ concepts. Doing so it investigates how literature imagines and shapes worlds for its readers through linguistically specific cosmopolitan-vernacular dynamics both at the level of textual engagement and on a material level of textual production and circulation. Moving from textual analyses in Part One – ‘Worlds in Texts’ – to combined analyses of texts media and agents in the literary field in Part Two – ‘Texts in Worlds’ – the concerns of these nine chapters range from multilingualism genre and style to material forms such as the little magazine or the scrapbook archive and finally to activities such as travel as a writing profession and literary promotion. With this focus on practice – which geographically engages with Constantinople China Russia western Europe North America southern Africa and India – contributors demonstrate methodologically how world literature studies can bring the empirically specific detail to bear on global modes of analysis. It is precisely through such a dual optic that the world-making capacity of literature becomes apparent.

rif. B9781501388071Paperback / softback. New. The electronic medium allows any audible sound to be contextualized as music. This creates unique structural possibilities as spectrum dynamics space and time become continuous dimensions of musical articulation. What we hear in electronic music ventures beyond what we traditionally characterize as musical sound and challenges our auditory perception on the one hand and our imagination on the other. Based on an extensive listening study conducted over four years this book offers a comprehensive analysis of the cognitive processes involved in the experience of electronic music. It pairs artistic practice with theories from a range of disciplines to communicate how this music operates on perceptual conceptual and affective levels. Looking at the common and divergent ways in which our minds respond to electronic sound it investigates how we build narratives from our experience of electronic music and situate ourselves in them. paperback
rif. B9781501368820Paperback / softback. New. Sonic Identity at the Margins convenes the interdisciplinary work of 17 academics composers and performers to examine sonic identity from the 19th century to the present. Recognizing the myriad aspects of identity formation the authors in this volume adopt methodological approaches that range from personal accounts and embodied expression to archival research and hermeneutic interpretation. They examine real and imagined spaces—from video games and monument sites to films and depictions of outer space—by focusing on sonic creation performance and reception. Drawing broadly from artistic and performance disciplines the authors reimagine the roles played by music and sound in constructing notions of identity in a broad array of musical experiences from anti-slavery songsters to Indigenous tunes and soundscapes noise and multimedia to popular music and symphonic works. Exploring relationships between sound and various markers of identity—including race gender ability and nationality—the authors explore challenging timely topics including the legacies of slavery indigeneity immigration and colonial expansion. In heeding recent calls to decolonize music studies and confront its hegemonic methods the authors interrogate privileged perspectives embedded in creating performing and listening to sound as well as the approaches used to analyze these experiences. paperback

rif. B9781501379338Paperback / softback. New. Afrosonic Life explores the role sonic innovations in the African diaspora play in articulating methodologies for living the afterlife of slavery. Developing and extending debates on Afrosonic cultures the book attends to the ways in which the acts of technological subversion experimentation and production complement and interrupt the intellectual project of modernity. Music making processes such as dub turntablism hip-hop dj techniques and the remix innovate methods of expressing subjecthoods beyond the dominant language of Western “Man” and the market. These sonic innovations utilize sound as a methodology to institute a rehumanizing subjectivity in which sound dislodges the hierarchical ordering of racial schemas. Afrosonic Life is invested in excavating and elaborating the nuanced and novel ways of music making and sound creation found in the African diaspora. paperback
rif. B9781501382390Paperback / softback. New. Lynne Tatlock examines the transmission diffusion and literary survival of Jane Eyre in the German-speaking territories and the significance and effects thereof 1848-1918. Engaging with scholarship on the romance novel she presents an historical case study of the generative power and protean nature of Brontë’s new romance narrative in German translation adaptation and imitation as it involved multiple agents from writers and playwrights to readers publishers illustrators reviewers editors adaptors and translators. Jane Eyre in German Lands traces the ramifications in the paths of transfer that testify to widespread creative investment in romance as new ideas of women’s freedom and equality topped the horizon and sought a home especially in the middle classes. As Tatlock outlines the multiple German instantiations of Brontë’s novel—four translations three abridgments three adaptations for general readers nine adaptations for younger readers plays farces and particularly the fiction of the popular German writer E. Marlitt and its many adaptations—evince a struggle over its meaning and promise. Yet precisely this multiplicity repetition redundancy and proliferation combined with the romance narrative’s intrinsic appeal in the decades between the March Revolutions and women’s franchise enabled the cultural diffusion impact and long-term survival of Jane Eyre as German reading. Though its focus on the circulation of texts across linguistic boundaries and intertwined literary markets and reading cultures Jane Eyre in German Lands unsettles the national paradigm of literary history and makes a case for a fuller and inclusive account of the German literary field. paperback
rif. B9781501380853Paperback / softback. New. This book highlights the role of Romani musical presence in Central and Eastern Europe especially from Krakow in the Communist period and argues that music can and should be treated as one of the main points of relation between Roma and non-Roma. It discusses Romani performers and the complexity of their situation as conditioned by the political situations starkly affected by the Communist regime and then by its fall. Against this backdrop the book engages with musician Stefan Dymiter known as Corroro as the leader of his own street band: unwelcome in the public space by the authorities merely tolerated by others but admired by many passers-by and respected by his peer Romain musicians and international music stars. It emphasizes the role of Romani musicians in Krakow in shaping the soundscape of the city while also demonstrating their collective and individual strategies to adapt to the new circumstances in terms of the preferred performative techniques repertoire and overall lifestyle. paperback

rif. B9781501374098Paperback / softback. New. This open access book complicates and develops the notion of the vernacular. Understood in the linguistic sense as well as an element of the local the vernacular facilitates the exploration of local and global dynamics. Through exploring the unexamined active role of the local the indigenous and the periphery in international literary exchanges this volume argues that a coherent theorization of the vernacular will enable us to do so. The essays in Vernaculars in an Age of World Literatures present new critical approaches in the debate on world literature which has given priority to cosmopolitan movements global circulation of literatures and metropolitan centers. In nine case studies approaching narratives from the long 20th century from more or less marginal contexts—such as the Francophone Chinese diaspora multilingual regions in Spain West Africa and the Caribbean—the volume offers theoretical and methodological ways of putting the concept of the vernacular in practice and demonstrates how vernaculars operate within different literary critical cultural and political circumstances.

This series of photographs captures the historic gold mining by the last gold dredge to operate on Foots Creek in Southern Oregon on the property of Edward Dole. Several dredges and placer mining operations mined Foots Creek from the 19th well into the 20th Century with one dredge owned by the Rogue River Gold Mining Co. known as the Ferry Dredge dredged both forks of Foots Creek until 1935 when it was moved to Graves Creek. Under the direction of “Wicks the Boss” this dredge was brought in unassembled by railroad in 1939 and “this was his 35th dredge.” The photos show the steel hull mass boom erecting the steel framework framing the steel gantries for the dredge installing the winches as well as the massive 67 bucket line ladder built by New York Engineering Co. Yonkers NY. The newly constructed dredge shown here proceeded to work it’s way up the creek digging 20 feet below the water line and moved 4000 yards daily through the screening and wash plant with conveyor belts stacking the tailings behind. In March 1941 just months before the attack on Pearl Harbor the dredge was dismantled and moved to another location by the Murray Dredging co. although mounds and walls of rock paralleling the creek still offer visible signs of its operation.
