Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Singer-Songwriter in Europe is the first book to explore and compare the multifaceted discourses and practices of this figure within and across linguistic spaces in Europe and in dialogue with spaces beyond continental borders. The concept of the singer-songwriter is significant and much-debated for a variety of reasons. Many such musicians possess large and zealous followings, their output often esteemed politically and usually held up as the nearest popular music gets to high art, such facets often yielding sizeable economic benefits. Yet this figure, per se, has been the object of scant critical discussion, with individual practitioners celebrated for their isolated achievements instead. In response to this lack of critical knowledge, this volume identifies and interrogates the musical, linguistic, social and ideological elements that configure the singer-songwriter and its various equivalents in Europe, such as the French auteur-compositeur-interprète and the Italian cantautore, since the late 1940s. Particular attention is paid to the emergence of this figure in the post-war period, how and why its contours have changed over time and space subsequently, cross-cultural influences, and the transformative agency of this figure as regards party and identity politics in lyrics and music, often by means of individual case studies. The book's polycentric approach endeavours to redress the hitherto Anglophone bias in scholarship on the singer-songwriter in the English-speaking world, drawing on the knowledge of scholars from across Europe and from a variety of academic disciplines, including modern language studies, musicology, sociology, literary studies and history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fourth volume in the European Festival Studies, 1450–1700 series breaks with precedent in stemming from a joint conference (Venice, 2013) between the Society for European Festivals Research and the PALATIUM project supported by the European Science Foundation. The volume draws on up-to-date research by a Europe-wide group of academic scholars and museum and gallery curators to provide a unique, intellectually-stimulating and beautifully-illustrated account of temporary architecture created for festivals of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, together with permanent architecture pressed into service for festival occasions across major European locations including Italian, French, Austrian, Scottish and German. Appealing and vigorous in style, the essays look towards classical sources while evoking political and practical circumstances and intellectual concerns – from re-shaping and re-conceptualizing early sixteenth-century Rome, through providing for the well-being and political allegiance of Medici-era Florentines and exploring the teasing aesthetics of performance at Versailles to accommodating players and spectators in seventeenth-century Paris and at royal and ducal events for the Habsburg, French and English crowns. The volume is unique in its field in the diversity of its topics and the range of its scholarship and fascinating in its account of the intellectual and political life of Early Modern Europe.

Download or read book Le Jardin des supplices (French Edition) written by OCTAVE MIRBEAU and published by BEYOND BOOKS HUB. This book was released on 2021-01-01 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Extrait : "Avant de raconter un des plus effroyables épisodes de mon voyage en Extrême-Orient, il est peut-être intéressant que j'explique brièvement dans quelles conditions je fus amené à l'entreprendre. C'est de l'histoire contemporaine." Descriptif : Le jardin des supplices, invention littéraire de Mirbeau, réunit dans une configuration obsédante ces deux clichés : celui de la cruauté des Chinois qui lui sert de paravent exotique pour exposer une réflexion anthropologique portant sur la cruauté humaine en général. Il ne contient pas seulement des descriptions horrifiantes de supplices. Il contient aussi des considérations sur la cruauté humaine et sur la pulsion scopique et sur le voyeurisme. Le roman d’Octave Mirbeau a eu à l’époque un grand succès. Extrait : Si tu es près de moi… quand je mourrai… cher petit cœur… écoute bien !… Tu mettras… c’est cela… tu mettras un joli coussin de soie jaune entre mes pauvres petits pieds et le bois du cercueil… Et puis… tu tueras mon beau chien du Laos… et tu l’allongeras, tout sanglant, contre moi… comme il a coutume de s’allonger lui-même, tu sais, avec une patte sur ma cuisse et une autre patte sur mon sein… Et puis… longtemps… longtemps… tu m’embrasseras, cher amour, sur les dents… et dans les cheveux… Et tu me diras des choses… des choses si jolies… et qui bercent et qui brûlent… des choses comme quand tu m’aimes… Pas, tu veux, mon chéri ?… Tu me promets ?… Voyons, ne fais pas cette figure d’enterrement… Ce n’est pas de mourir, qui est triste… c’est de vivre quand on n’est pas heureux… Jure ! jure que tu me promets !… Le Jardin des supplices n'est pas seulement le catalogue de toutes les perversions dans lesquelles s'est complu l'imaginaire de 1900. L'ouvrage exprime aussi l'ambiguïté de l'attitude d'un Européen libéral, mais Européen avant tout, devant le colonialisme et ce qu'on n'appelait pas encore le Tiers Monde. Pour Mirbeau, la Chine est le lieu des plaisirs mortels et, par leur système pénal et l'invraisemblable raffinement de leur cruauté, les Chinois ne peuvent être à ses yeux que des barbares : Emmanuelle sur fond de guerre du Viêt-nam, comme l'écrit Michel Delon. Mais les Chinois vivent dans une société plus solidaire et matériellement moins asservie que la nôtre. Et surtout ils sont d'admirables artistes. Tel est le paradoxe de la Chine : un jardin de supplices mais aussi les plus belles porcelaines, les plus beaux bronzes que l'on ait jamais faits. «Voici donc les Barbares à peau jaune dont les civilisés d'Europe à peau blanche violent le sol. Nous sommes toujours les mêmes sauvages, les mêmes ennemis de la Beauté.»

Download or read book Chanson written by Peter Hawkins and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-29 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En France, tout finit par des chansons' is the well-known phrase which sums up the importance of chanson for the French. A song tradition that goes back to the Middle Ages and troubadours of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, chanson is part of the texture of everyday life in France - a part of the national identity and a barometer of popular taste. In this first study of chanson in English, Peter Hawkins examines the background to the genre and the difficulties in defining what is and what is not chanson. The focus then moves to the development of the singer-songwriter of chanson from 1880 to the present day. This period saw the emergence of national icons from Aristide Bruant at the end of the nineteenth century through to internationally recognized musicians such as Jacques Brel and Serge Gainsbourg. Each of these figures used chanson to express the particular moral dilemmas, tragic situations and moments of euphoria particular to themselves and their times. The book provides bibliographies, discographies and details of video recordings for each of the singer-songwriters that it discusses. It is both an essential reference guide to the genre and a useful case history of the adaptation of an ancient form to the demands of the modern mass media.
