Book Synopsis Translation and Music by : Sebnem Susam-Sarajeva
Download or read book Translation and Music written by Sebnem Susam-Sarajeva and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-08 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Popular and multimodal forms of cultural products are becoming increasingly visible within translation studies research. Interest in translation and music, however, has so far been relatively limited, mainly because translation of musical material has been considered somewhat outside the limits of translation studies, as traditionally conceived. Difficulties associated with issues such as the 'musicality' of lyrics, the fuzzy boundaries between translation, adaptation and rewriting, and the pervasiveness of covert or unacknowledged translations of musical elements in a variety of settings have generally limited the research in this area to overt and canonized translations such as those done for the opera. Yet the intersection of translation and music can be a fascinating field to explore, and one which can enrich our understanding of what translation is and how it relates to other forms of expression. This special issue is an attempt to open up the field of translation and music to a wider audience within translation studies, and to an extent, within musicology and cultural studies. The volume includes contributions from a wide range of musical genres and languages: from those that investigate translation and code-switching in North African rap and rai, and the intertextual and intersemiotic translations revolving around Mahler's lieder in Chinese, to the appropriation and after-life of Kurdish folk songs in Turkish, and the emergence of rock'n roll in Russian. Other papers examine the reception of Anglo-American stage musicals and musical films in Italy and Spain, the concept of 'singability' with examples from Scandinavian languages, and the French dubbing of musical episodes of TV series. The volume also offers an annotated bibliography on opera translation and a general bibliography on translation and music.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Music and Cosmopolitanism, Cristina Magaldi examines music making in a past globalized world. This volume focuses on one city, Rio de Janeiro, and how it became part of a larger world through music and performance. Magaldi describes a process of creating connections beyond national borders, one that is familiar to contemporary city residents, but which was already dominant at the turn of the 20th century, as new technological developments led to alternative ways of making and experiencing music.
Book Synopsis Antonio López García’s Everyday Urban Worlds by : Benjamin Fraser
Download or read book Antonio López García’s Everyday Urban Worlds written by Benjamin Fraser and published by Bucknell University Press. This book was released on 2014-08-26 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Antonio López García’s Everyday Urban Worlds: A Philosophy of Painting is the first book to give the famed Spanish artist the critical attention he deserves. Born in Tomelloso in 1936 and still living in the Spanish capital today, Antonio López has long cultivated a reputation for impressive urban scenes—but it is urban time that is his real subject. Going far beyond mere artist biography, Benjamin Fraser explores the relevance of multiple disciplines to an understanding of the painter’s large-scale canvasses. Weaving selected images together with their urban referents—and without ever straying too far from discussion of the painter’s oeuvre, method and reception by critics—Fraser pulls from disciplines as varied as philosophy, history, Spanish literature and film, cultural studies, urban geography, architecture, and city planning in his analyses. The book begins at ground level with one of the artist’s most recognizable images, the Gran Vía, which captures the urban project that sought to establish Madrid as an emblem of modernity. Here, discussion of the artist’s chosen painting style—one that has been referred to as a ‘hyperrealism’—is integrated with the central street’s history, the capital’s famous literary figures, and its filmic representations, setting up the philosophical perspective toward which the book gradually develops. Chapter two rises in altitude to focus on Madrid desde Torres Blancas, an urban image painted from the vantage point provided by an iconic high-rise in the north-central area of the city. Discussion of the Spanish capital’s northward expansion complements a broad view of the artist’s push into representations of landscape and allows for the exploration of themes such as political conflict, social inequality, and the accelerated cultural change of an increasingly mobile nation during the 1960s. Chapter three views Madrid desde la torre de bomberos de Vallecas and signals a turn toward political philosophy. Here, the size of the artist’s image itself foregrounds questions of scale, which Fraser paints in broad strokes as he blends discussions of artistry with the turbulent history of one of Madrid’s outlying districts and a continued focus on urban development and its literary and filmic resonance. Antonio López García’s Everyday Urban Worlds also includes an artist timeline, a concise introduction and an epilogue centering on the artist’s role in the Spanish film El sol del membrillo. The book’s clear style and comprehensive endnotes make it appropriate for both general readers and specialists alike.
Book Synopsis Cartographies of Madrid by : Silvia Bermudez
Download or read book Cartographies of Madrid written by Silvia Bermudez and published by Vanderbilt University Press. This book was released on 2021-04-30 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of this book's goals is to evaluate the complex ways that Madrid has served as the political, economic, and cultural capital of the Global South from the end of the Franco dictatorship to the present. The other is to examine the city as lived experience, where citizens contest capital's push to shape urban space in its own image through activities of the imagination. Scholars, investigative journalists, political activists, and a filmmaker combine to document the vast array of Madrid's grassroots movements.

Book Synopsis The Time Has Come by : Alfonso Fumero
Download or read book The Time Has Come written by Alfonso Fumero and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2024-05-01 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The time has come in our world, the Antichrist has become a man in the body of a charming politician, but like the serpent in the Garden of Eden, he is both manipulative and wise. He goes to work united the world through a One World Government and One World Bank as he erases the lines that divide nations, religions, and different walks of life. He introduces a biochip to be put into the hands of everyone on the planet. As the world becomes safer and more prosperous, it also grows further from God. Many Christians throughout the world refuse this chip and the demand to renounce God. Because of this, they must return underground as the early church did, forgetting about denominations and doctrine clinging to the basic Christianity of faith and love. They struggle to survive in this new world, realizing that only by relying on each other and God can they hope to survive the Antichrist. About the Author Alfonso Fumero came to the United State from Cuba when he was 5 years old. He has been studying the Bible since he was 14. Throughout the last 30 years, he has preached the Word of God in many English, Spanish, and Brazilian churches. Understanding the book of Revelations has been his focal point for over a decade and it is important to him that it’s understood as a book of hope and not of fear. It has also been important to him that churches understand that they should focus on what all Christian denominations have in common and not their differences. Alfonso Fumero has a degree in Psychology and runs a group home for adults who are mentally challenged. Alfonso also works with children with Autism and learning disabilities to help them with behavior modification so that they may be part of society as thriving citizens. Alfonso Fumero enjoys traveling with his wife and he loves hiking and nature. He also enjoys his time with his two sons and daughter.

Book Synopsis Rocking the Boat by : Silvia Bermúdez
Download or read book Rocking the Boat written by Silvia Bermúdez and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2018-03-01 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Silvia Bermúdez’s fascinating study reveals how Spanish popular music, produced between 1980 and 2013, was the first cultural site to engage in critical debate about ethnicity and race in relation to the immigration patterns that have been changing the social landscape of Spanish society since the late 1970s. In Rocking the Boat, Bermúdez examines the lyrics of songs by both renowned and up and coming artists to illuminate how these new migrants challenged Spain’s notions of homogeneity, boundaries, accommodation, and incorporation. Bermúdez observes that immigration has had such a significant influence on Spanish society that the tattered boats, seen to this day on the shores of Spain and throughout the Mediterranean Sea, have become inverted emblems of the ships that were once symbols of great power and economic development. Rocking the Boat is a nuanced account of how popular urban music shaped the discourse on immigration, transnational migrants, and racialization in Spain’s new social landscape.

Book Synopsis Campus de la Diagonal by : Estanislau Roca
Download or read book Campus de la Diagonal written by Estanislau Roca and published by Edicions Universitat Barcelona. This book was released on 2009 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aquest llibre presenta una reflexió acadèmica i professional al Campus de la Diagonal amb un ampli ventall d’idees urbanístiques que permeten establir un nou escenari universitari i millorar la relació amb la ciutat..Durant els anys seixanta i setanta del segle passat es varen realitzar diversos projectes d’edificis i recintes universitaris de gran interès (de Carlo, Candilis, Sert). També es varen publicar notables estudis sobre la relació entre la ciutat i la universitat..Feia, però, força anys que aquestes qüestions no semblaven ocupar l’agenda d’arquitectes, urbanistes i responsables universitaris. Per això sembla tan oportú l’esforç de recollir en aquestes poc més de dues-centes planes tot un seguit de riques reflexions i de projectes, tant aquells que responen a encàrrecs concrets de la UB i de la UPC, com aquells que han realitzat un conjunt d’estudiants per recosir i fer ciutat d’una munió d’edificis, sovint de caràcter abstret i poc permeable, tallats per una avinguda de grans dimensions i disposats sense cap visió de conjunt.
