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 Spectacle of Clouds 1439–1650 Italian Art and Theatre

The Spectacle of Clouds 1439–1650 Italian Art and Theatre

The studies in which history of art and theatre are considered together are few and none to date investigate the evolution of the representation of clouds from the early Renaissance to the Baroque period. This book reconsiders the origin of Italian Renaissance and Baroque cloud compositions while including the theatrical tradition as one of their most important sources. By examining visual sources such as paintings frescos and stage designs together with letters guild-ledgers descriptions of performances and relevant treatises a new methodology to approach the development of this early modern visuality is offered. The result is an historical reconstruction where multiple factors are seen as facets of a single process which led to the development of Italy’s visual culture. The book also offers new insights into Leonardo da Vinci’s theatrical works Raphael’s Disputa Vasari’s Lives and Pietro da Cortona’s fresco paintings. The Spectacle of Clouds 1439-1650 examines the different ways Heaven has been conceived imagined and represented from the fifteenth to the seventeenth century crossing over into the fields of history religion and philosophy. | The Spectacle of Clouds 1439–1650 Italian Art and Theatre

The Portuguese in India and Other Studies 1500-1700

The Portuguese in India and Other Studies 1500-1700

The studies brought together in this volume were published over the last thirty years and are concerned directly or indirectly with the Portuguese presence in India between about 1500 and 1650. They have been arranged into four groups of which the first 'The Portuguese in India' includes pieces on the changing character of the empire in India Goa in the 17th century the Portuguese India Company of 1628-33 smugglers the great famine of the early 1630s and the ceremonial induction process for new viceroys. A second group focuses on the life career and background of the count of Linhares before during and after his term as viceroy at Goa. The third group consists of studies on travel and communications between India and Portugal both by sea and by land. The collection concludes with studies under the heading of 'historiography and problems of interpretation' on Charles Boxer as a biographer and on Vasco da Gama's reputation for violence. | The Portuguese in India and Other Studies 1500-1700

Fatimid History and Ismaili Doctrine

Fatimid History and Ismaili Doctrine

The thirteen studies in this volume explore critical problems in Fatimid history and historiography many specifically focused on the content of doctrinal writings produced by the Ismaili supporters and agents of this caliphate who worked on behalf of the dynasty both within the empire and outside. Several concern issues in disputes that separated the various factions of Medieval Islam and served to distinguish the Ismailis from the rest often branding the Fatimids with the charge of heterodoxy. Others deal with the consequence of Shiite rule over a largely non-Shiite populace. Yet others involve the relationship between religious ideology and the administration of government. Among the themes featured in this collection there are separate investigations of institutions of learning of succession to the imamate the da`wa the judiciary relations with the Byzantines and with the Abbasids and works on heresiography doctrines of time and the accusation that the Ismailis upheld the metempsychosis of the human soul. The latter topics help to situate the Ismailis and hence the Fatimids within the broader context of Islamic thought. | Fatimid History and Ismaili Doctrine

Strategies for Growing and Enhancing University-Level Japanese Programs

Strategies for Growing and Enhancing University-Level Japanese Programs

Strategies for Growing and Enhancing University-Level Japanese Programs offers foreign language program managers and directors as well as teachers of less commonly taught languages the insights and proven practical actions they can take to enhance and grow their language programs. Using the Japanese program at UNC Charlotte as the primary case study author Fumie Kato provides step-by-step instructions on how she grew the Japanese program there from 133 students per semester in 2002 to 515 students per semester in 2017; from a program with just one full-time professor and one part-time faculty member to a faculty of seven full-time and three part-time members. While Japanese is the example used in the book the principles can be applied by anyone managing foreign language/less commonly taught language programs who wishes to expand their program and raise their students’ success rates. The book is therefore of interest to instructors coordinators and directors of foreign language education programs throughout the world.

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

Ecological Epistemologies and Spiritualities in Brazilian Ecovillages In the Labyrinth of an Environmental Anthropology

Ecological Epistemologies and Spiritualities in Brazilian Ecovillages In the Labyrinth of an Environmental Anthropology

This book brings together ethnographic field research on four permacultural ecovillages in Brazil to highlight the importance of spirituality and ecological epistemologies as key analytical tools. It demonstrates that ecological spirituality can and should be understood beyond the dichotomy of personal and political between people and nature in the field of environmental anthropology. The book uses a broad philosophical methodology based on the phenomenological theories of Maurice Merleau-Ponty Tim Ingold and Alfred Schutz combined with post-structuralist conceptions of the relationship between person and world individual and society. The field research consisted of ethnographic travel observation and recorded dialogue with individuals based in each ecovillage: Arca Verde situated in Campos de Cima da Serra; Vrinda Bhumi a Vaishnava ecovillage in Baependi-MG; Goura Vrindavana a Vaishnava ecovillage in Paraty-RJ; and Muriqui Assu Ecovillage Project a secular ecovillage in Niterói-RJ. Throughout the book ethnographic research is woven together with poetic interludes images personal narrative experience and phenomenological theory bringing a new understanding and approach to environmental anthropology as a discipline. Including a Preface written by Tim Ingold it will appeal to academics researchers and upper-level students in phenomenology environmental philosophy environmental anthropology religious studies and social sciences more broadly. | Ecological Epistemologies and Spiritualities in Brazilian Ecovillages In the Labyrinth of an Environmental Anthropology

Travellers and Cosmographers Studies in the History of Early Modern Travel and Ethnology

Travellers and Cosmographers Studies in the History of Early Modern Travel and Ethnology

Joan-Pau Rubiés brings together here eleven studies published between 1991 and 2005 that illuminate the impact of travel writing on the transformation of early modern European culture. The new worlds that European navigation opened up at the turn of the 16th century elicited a great deal of curiosity and were the subject of a vast range of writings much of them with an empirical basis albeit often subtly fictionalized. In the context of intense literary and intellectual activity that characterized the Renaissance the encounters generated by European colonial activities in fact produced a remarkable variety of images of human diversity. Some of these images were conditioned by the actual dynamics of cross-cultural encounters overseas but many others were elaborated in Europe by cosmographers historians and philosophers pursuing their own moral and political agendas. As the studies included here show the combined effect was in the long term dramatic: interacting with the impact of humanism and of insurmountable religious divisions travel writing decisively contributed to the transformation of European culture towards the concerns of the Enlightenment. The essays illuminate this process through a combination of general discussions and the contextual analysis of particular texts and debates ranging form the earliest ethnographies produced by merchants travelling to Asia with Vasco da Gama to the writings of Jesuit missionaries researching idolatry in India and China or thinkers like Hugo Grotius seeking to explain the origin of the American Indians. | Travellers and Cosmographers Studies in the History of Early Modern Travel and Ethnology

The Science of Higher Education State Higher Education Policy and the Laws of Scale

The Science of Higher Education State Higher Education Policy and the Laws of Scale

Perennial conclusions from state-by-state funding-per-student analyses of underfunding and weak state commitment have become so common that they have diluted the potency of the argument to state policymakers for more higher education funding. In addition there has been little in the way of testing or questioning the assumptions embedded in traditional funding per student analysis and its accompanying conclusions. As state legislators balance the competing needs of education health trans­portation and public safety budgets they increasingly ask what return on investment (ROI) they get for the funding they provide including from higher education. The ROI language while potentially unsettling for its corporate-like and neoliberal connotation will persist into the foreseeable future. We must ask questions both of adequacy (How much funding should the states provide?) and benefit (What benefits do states receive for the higher education funding they provide?). The focus on traditional funding per student analysis has remained static for over forty years indicating the need for new ideas and methods to probe questions of adequacy and benefit. The Science of Higher Education is an introduction to a new paradigm that explores state higher education funding enrollment completion and supply (the number and type of institutions in a state) through the lens of what are commonly known as power laws. Power laws explain patterns in biological systems and characteristics of cities. Like cities state higher educa­tion systems are complex adaptive systems so it is little surprise that power laws also explain funding enrollment completion and supply. The scale relationships uncovered in the Science of Higher Education sug­gest the potential benefits state policymakers could derive by emphasizing enrollment completion or capacity policies based on economies of scale marginal benefits and the return state’s get on enrollment and completion for the funding they provide. The various features of state higher education systems that conform to scale patterns do not alone provide definitive answers for appropriate funding levels however. As this book addresses policymakers need to take into account the macro forces from demography to geography and the economy that situate the system as well the interactions between government and market actors that are at the core of every state higher education system and influence the outcomes it achieves. | The Science of Higher Education State Higher Education Policy and the Laws of Scale

The Economics of Water and Waste in Three African Capitals

The Economics of Water and Waste in Three African Capitals

First published in 1997 this volume examines the urban environments of Accra (Ghana) Harare (Zimbabwe) and Gaborone (Botswana). Each was effectively the capital city of a former British colony and hence inherited a concern for public health. Each has made a serious and largely successful effort to provide the public goods necessary for the well-being of their urban population. Each is well above the average for all of Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) in these respects. However the GDP per capita varies significantly between these three countries. Differences in standard of living are similarly evident. The authors focus intensively on public policies that determine who gets what how they get it and what price they pay. | The Economics of Water and Waste in Three African Capitals
