Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This is the first book to take political devolution as an organising context for the presentation and discussion of main currents in contemporary Scottish poetry. The book combines thematic chapters with in-depth analysis of key poets writing in English, in Gaelic and in Scots, to address the central issues raised in work that is responding to changes in the socio-economic and political environment over recent decades: the influence of tradition (both national and international); the question of language; the rise of women's writing; the relationship between poetry and politics; and the importance of place to the Scottish imagination. The chapters demonstrate a broad range of interests, while also offering detailed analysis of the many ways writers broach their subject matter; including close readings of poetry by Edwin Morgan, Kenneth White, Aonghas MacNeacail, Kathleen Jamie, John Burnside, Robin Robertson, Mick Imlah and Don Paterson, among others. Chapters by practicing poets and by academics deliver senses of the current range and quality of poetry in Scotland.Key Features\*A thorough guide to contemporary Scottish poetry and poets, making the book an ideal course text \*Reflects the ways in which the work of Scottish poets reflects a radical cultural independence following Devolution\*Provides authoritative essays by the leading experts in the field\*Includes a valuable synoptic bibliography.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Martial Sound examines the performance and function of music in the martial arts traditions of Chinese Canadians. Author Colin P. McGuire's novel theory of martial sound identifies the ways in which one can hear music as martial arts and listen to hand combat as musicking. In doing so, McGuire both outlines how to discuss fighting rhythms in musical terms and provides a conceptual framework for analyzing how music can function as a form of self-defence. Throughout, McGuire closely studies the gong and drum percussion music that accompany the lion dance and kung fu, all of which are practised together as a single blurred genre by members of the Hong Luck Kung Fu Club in Toronto, Canada. While Hong Luck's history and character are distinctive, the club's practices and approaches are typical of many styles of Southern Chinese martial arts, both in China and abroad. During the eight years of participant observation fieldwork completed for this book, both of Hong Luck's founding masters passed away, marking the end of an era. The first female lion dancers also began performing during the fieldwork period, which reconfigured traditional constructions of gender. Through highlighting recent developments within this community and the diaspora, McGuire shows that while kung fu practitioners have traditionally used their interdisciplinary performances as a ritual to disperse negative energy for patrons, they now extend that martial function to become an empowering performance that challenges a history of race-based discrimination in Canada.…
