La Casa De Mis Suenos Dreams Of Home In A Transnational Migrant Community

La Casa De Mis Suenos Dreams Of Home In A Transnational Migrant Community

Unable to secure a full livelihood in either Mexico or the United States migrants from the rural village of Napizaro in central Mexico must extend their families and their community across the border. The lives of Napizarenos demonstrate the difficulties of reproduction in a transnational context calling into question the way we think about households families and communities. La Casa de Mis Sueños examines the efforts of villagers from Napízaro to build their dream houses in Mexico through participation in transnational migration. New house designs reshape the spatial ordering of everyday life and are part of the recreation of social space in a changing economic and moral landscape. These changes have engendered conflict as migration usurps traditional routes to prosperity and success and as migrant houses become both the locus of growing consumerism and a site for heavily charged and contested ideas about family and community. This book is more than an engaging account of the realities that pervade one small community. It is an examination of the ways in which global processes penetrate the local the daily and the personal in rural Mexico. Above all it asserts the power of place as constitutive of the ways in which people create meaning in their lives. | La Casa De Mis Suenos Dreams Of Home In A Transnational Migrant Community

The Viola da Gamba

The Viola da Gamba

The viola da gamba was a central instrument in European music from the late 15th century well into the late 18th. In this comprehensive study Bettina Hoffmann offers both an introduction to the instrument - its construction technique and history - for the non-specialist interweaving this information with a wealth of original archival scholarship that experts will relish. The book begins with a description of the instrument and here Hoffmann grapples with the complexity of various names applied to this and related instruments. Following two chapters on the instrument's construction and ancestry the core of the book is given to a historical and geographical survey of the instrument from its origins into the classical period. The book closes with a look at the revival of interest in the 19th and 20th centuries.

The Original Portrayal of Mozart’s Don Giovanni

The Original Portrayal of Mozart’s Don Giovanni

The Original Portrayal of Mozart’s Don Giovanni offers an original reading of Mozart’s and Da Ponte’s opera Don Giovanni using as a lens the portrayal of the title role by its creator the baritone Luigi Bassi (1766–1825). Although Bassi was coached in the role by the composer himself his portrayal has never been studied in depth before and this book presents a large number of new sources (first- and second-hand accounts) which allows us to reconstruct his performance scene by scene. The book confronts Bassi’s portrayal with a study of the opera’s early German reception and performance history demonstrating how Don Giovanni as we know it today was not only created by Mozart Da Ponte and Luigi Bassi but also by the early German adapters translators critics and performers who turned the title character into the arrogant and violent villain we still encounter in most of today’s stage productions. Incorporating discussion of dramaturgical thinking of the late Enlightenment and the difficult moral problems that the opera raises this is an important study for scholars and researchers from opera studies theatre and performance studies music history as well as conductors directors and singers.

The Routledge Companion to Marine and Maritime Worlds 1400-1800

The Routledge Companion to Marine and Maritime Worlds 1400-1800

This book has been nominated for The Mountbatten Award for Best Book in the Maritime Media Awards 2021. The Routledge Companion to Marine and Maritime Worlds 1400‒1800 explores early modern maritime history culture and the current state of the research and approaches taken by experts in the field. Ranging from cartography to poetry and decorative design to naval warfare the book shows how once-traditional and often Euro-chauvinistic depictions of oceanic ‘mastery’ during the early modern period have been replaced by newer global ideas. This comprehensive volume challenges underlying assumptions by balancing its assessment of the consequences and accomplishments of European navigators in the era of Columbus da Gama and Magellan with an awareness of the sophistication and maritime expertise in Asia the Arab world and the Americas. By imparting riveting new stories and global perceptions of maritime history and culture the contributors provide readers with fresh insights concerning early modern entanglements between humans and the vast unpredictable ocean. With maritime studies growing and the ocean’s health in decline this volume is essential reading for academics and students interested in the historicization of the ocean and the ways early modern cultures both conceptualized and utilized seas. | The Routledge Companion to Marine and Maritime Worlds 1400-1800

Gendered Capitalism Sewing Machines and Multinational Business in Spain and Mexico 1850-1940

Gendered Capitalism Sewing Machines and Multinational Business in Spain and Mexico 1850-1940

Gendered Capitalism: Sewing Machines and Multinational Business in Spain and Mexico 1850–1940 is a history of the gendered corporation a study that examines how ideas and ideals about domesticity and the cultures of sewing and embroidery being gender-specific shaped the US-headquartered Singer Sewing Machine Company’s operations around the world. In contrast to production-driven and culture-neutral analyses of the multinational enterprise this book focuses on both the supply and the demand side to argue that consumers and the cultural worlds of those—mainly women—using the sewing machine for personal purposes or for the market shaped corporate organization. This book is a global history of Singer but it also focuses on the cases of Spain and Mexico to highlight nations where the sewing machine multinational never established manufacturing operations. Casa Singer was a mostly profitable and a long-term selling and marketing operation in both countries. Gendered Capitalism demonstrates that local Spanish and Mexican agents both men and women developed and expanded Singer’s selling system to the extent that the multinational company was seen as domestic both in the location sense and because of its focus on the private sphere of the home. By bringing the cases of Spain and Mexico and the cultural everyday realm of practices related to sewing and embroidery that the sewing machine was part of to the center of the study of international business Gendered Capitalism further reveals the layers of complexities and multitudes that conform the history of global capitalism. This book will be of interest to readers and scholars in the fields of business history economic cultural history management studies international business women’s history gender studies and the history of technology. | Gendered Capitalism Sewing Machines and Multinational Business in Spain and Mexico 1850-1940
