John II Komnenos Emperor of Byzantium In the Shadow of Father and Son

John II Komnenos Emperor of Byzantium In the Shadow of Father and Son

The Emperor John II Komnenos (1118–1143) has been overshadowed by both his father Alexios I and his son Manuel I. Written sources have not left us much evidence regarding his reign although authors agree that he was an excellent emperor. However the period witnessed territorial expansion in Asia Minor as well as the construction of the most important monastic complex of twelfth-century Constantinople. What else do we know about John’s rule and its period? This volume opens up new perspectives on John’s reign and clearly demonstrates that many innovations generally attributed to the genius of Manuel Komnenos had already been fostered during the reign of the second great Komnenos. Leading experts on twelfth-century Byzantium (Jeffreys Magdalino Ousterhout) are joined by representatives of a new generation of Byzantinists to produce a timely and invaluable study of the unjustly neglected figure of John Komnenos. | John II Komnenos Emperor of Byzantium In the Shadow of Father and Son

The collection focuses on the nexus between popular musics in North America and Europe and the traditional musics that have been their foundation on both the real and imagined connections between the present and past: Olly Wilson and Gerhard Kubik on African American music Aaron Fox on country music Eric Lott on blackface minstrelsy Barry Shank on the elusive Bob Dylan.

Embodiment and Disembodiment in Live Art From Grotowski to Hologram

Embodiment and Disembodiment in Live Art From Grotowski to Hologram

Liveness is a pivotal issue for performance theorists and artists. As live art covers both embodiment and disembodiment many scholars have emphasized the former and interpreted the latter as the opposite side of liveness. In this book the author demonstrates that disembodiment is also an inextricable part of liveness and presence in performance from both practical and theoretical perspectives. By applying phenomenological theory to live performance the author investigates the possible realisation of aesthetic dynamics in live art via re-engagement with the notions of embodiment especially in the sense provided by philosophers such as Gabriel Marcel and Morris Merleau-Ponty. Creative practices from leading performance artists such as Franko B Ron Athey Manuel Vason and others as well as experimental ensembles such as Goat Island La Pocha Nostra Forced Entertainment and the New Youth are discussed offering a new perspective to re-frame human-human relationships such as the one between actor and spectator and collaborations in live genres In addition the author presents a new interpretation model for the human-material in live genres helping to bridge the aesthetic gaps between performance art and experimental theatre and providing an ecological paradigm for performance art experimental theatre and live art. | Embodiment and Disembodiment in Live Art From Grotowski to Hologram

The Role of the Literary Canon in the Teaching of Literature

The Role of the Literary Canon in the Teaching of Literature

This book investigates the role of the idea of the literary canon in the teaching of literature especially in colleges and secondary schools in the United States. Before the term canon was widely used in literary studies which occurred in the second half of 20th century when the canon was first seriously viewed as politically and culturally problematic the idea that some literary texts were more worthy of being studied than others existed since the beginning of the discipline of the teaching of literature in the 1800s. The concept of the canon however extends as far back as to Ancient Greece and its meaning has evolved over time. Thus this book charts the changing meaning of the idea of the literary canon examining its influence specifically in the teaching of literature from the beginning of the field to the 21st century. To explain how the literary canon and the teaching of literature have changed over time and continue to change this book constructs a theory of canon formation based on the ideas of Michel Foucault and the assemblage theory of Manuel DeLanda illustrating that the literary canon while frequently contested is integral to the teaching of literature yet changes as the teaching of literature changes. | The Role of the Literary Canon in the Teaching of Literature

The Emperor Theophilos and the East 829–842 Court and Frontier in Byzantium during the Last Phase of Iconoclasm

The Emperor Theophilos and the East 829–842 Court and Frontier in Byzantium during the Last Phase of Iconoclasm

Modern historiography has become accustomed to portraying the emperor Theophilos of Byzantium (829-842) in a favourable light taking at face value the legendary account that makes of him a righteous and learned ruler and excusing as ill fortune his apparent military failures against the Muslims. The present book considers events of the period that are crucial to our understanding of the reign and argues for a more balanced assessment of it. The focus lies on the impact of Oriental politics on the reign of Theophilos the last iconoclast emperor. After introductory chapters setting out the context in which he came to power separate sections are devoted to the influence of Armenians at the court the enrolment of Persian rebels against the caliphate in the Byzantine army the continuous warfare with the Arabs and the cultural exchange with Baghdad the Khazar problem and the attitude of the Christian Melkites towards the iconoclast emperor. The final chapter reassesses the image of the emperor as a good ruler building on the conclusions of the previous sections. The book reinterprets major events of the period and their chronology and sets in a new light the role played by figures like Thomas the Slav Manuel the Armenian or the Persian Theophobos whose identity is established from a better understanding of the sources. | The Emperor Theophilos and the East 829–842 Court and Frontier in Byzantium during the Last Phase of Iconoclasm

Pedro Páez's History of Ethiopia 1622 / Volume II

Pedro Páez's History of Ethiopia 1622 / Volume II

This book in two volumes contains an annotated English translation of the História da Ethiópia by the Spanish Jesuit missionary priest Pedro Páez (Pêro Pais in Portuguese) 1564-1622 who worked in the Portuguese padroado missions first in India and then in Ethiopia long thought to be the kingdom of the legendary Prester John. His history of Ethiopia was written in Portuguese in the last ten years of his life and survives in only two manuscripts. The translation by Christopher J. Tribe is based on the new critical edition of the Portuguese text by Isabel Boavida Hervé Pennec and Manuel João Ramos which was published in Lisbon in 2008. They are also the editors of this English version. The History of Ethiopia is an essential source for several areas of study - from the history of the Catholic missions in that country and the relations between the European religious orders to the history of art and religions; from the history of geographical exploration to the ideological contextualization of the Ethiopian kingdom; from material culture to Abyssinian political and territorial administration; and from an analysis of local circumstances to changes in human ecology in the Horn of Africa and the Indian Ocean. It is a repository of empirical knowledge on the political geography religion customs flora and fauna of Ethiopia. It combines travel narrative with a historico-ethnographic monograph and is a chronicle of the activities of Jesuit missionaries in their Ethiopian mission. It also reworks a wide variety of documents including the first translations into a European language of a number of Ethiopian literary texts from royal chronicles to hagiographies. It complements other early accounts of Ethiopia by Ludovico de Varthema Francisco Alvares Castanhoso Bermudez Arnold von Harff Manoel de Almeida Bahrey Alessandro Zorzi Jerónimo Lobo and Václav Prutky all published by The Hakluyt Society. | Pedro Páez's History of Ethiopia 1622 / Volume II
