The Prehistoric Rock Art of Portugal Symbolising Animals and Things

The Prehistoric Rock Art of Portugal Symbolising Animals and Things

The Prehistoric Rock Art of Portugal presents significant interpretive perspectives in Portuguese rock art research and offers an excellent representation of core rock art areas along with current thinking and interpretations. The various chapters deliver a personal approach to the many issues themes and approaches that are embedded within the rock art of the outpost of western Atlantic Europe. Ethnographical perspectives have often dominated the study of rock art but unlike other well-studied regions the western Iberian Peninsula is absent of an ethnographical or ethno-historical past and therefore the production of rock art can only be archaeologically assessed. Thus the work promotes interpretive perspectives on Portuguese rock art illustrating the richness chronology and context of these unique artistic expressions and explores the variability of rock art imagery and the diversity of landscapes and social contexts in which it was produced. Although focusing on Portuguese rock art the book includes a number of universal themes that will appeal to a broad range of scholars researching in archaeology and anthropology history of art as well as professionals engaged in rock art heritage and conservation. | The Prehistoric Rock Art of Portugal Symbolising Animals and Things

MTV is the third major breakthrough in music broadcasting and the first since the late 1960s. Top Forty radio was initiated in the 1950s and along with free form or progressive rock molded rock music exposure for nearly twenty years. Many observers credit MTV with resurrecting the music industry from the throes of the Great Depression of 1979. Few would dispute its impact on contemporary film fashion and radio. Inside MTV examines the world of cablecasting the evolution of WASEC MTV VH-1 and some of their competitors. The strategies personalities promotions and the contents that placed MTV on the road to its dominant position are described. The many controversies surrounding the channel are thoroughly detailed and a good deal of the misinformation on the subject is corrected. It is a mere five years since MTV began as the third of four Warner-Amex Satellite Entertainment Company (WASEC) channels created by two of America's largest conglomerates. Since then it has become a major force. Before MTV was conceived the relationship between television and rock music was weak at best. As the new partnership . developed a story of genius luck and discrimination began to unfold and a corporate innovation of major proportions and psychodemographic success emerged. MTV is now the most profitable 24-hour cable outlet beamed from a satellite. It reaches 30. 8 million households.

One-Track Mind Capitalism Technology and the Art of the Pop Song

One-Track Mind Capitalism Technology and the Art of the Pop Song

The song remains the most basic unit of modern pop music. Shaped into being by historical forces—cultural aesthetic and technical—the song provides both performer and audience with a world marked off by a short discrete and temporally demarcated experience. One-Track Mind: Capitalism Technology and the Art of the Pop Song brings together 16 writers to weigh in on 16 iconic tracks from the history of modern popular music. Arranged chronologically in order of release of the tracks and spanning nearly five decades these essays zigzag across the cultural landscape to present one possible history of pop music. There are detours through psychedelic rock Afro-pop Latin pop glam rock heavy metal punk postpunk adult contemporary rock techno hip-hop and electro-pop here. More than just deep histories of individual songs these essays all expand far beyond the track itself to offer exciting and often counterintuitive histories of transformative moments in popular culture. Collectively they show the undiminished power of the individual pop song both as distillations of important flashpoints and in their afterlives as ghostly echoes that persist undiminished but transform for succeeding generations. Capitalism and its principal good capital help us frame these stories a fact that should surprise no one given the inextricable relationship between art and capitalism established in the twentieth century. At the root readers will find here a history of pop with unexpected plot twists colorful protagonists and fitting denouements. | One-Track Mind Capitalism Technology and the Art of the Pop Song

Musicians suffer greatly from industry-related injury and illness and many of these problems are established during student days or even before. This affects all forms of music-making from classical through jazz and rock to traditional folk. Hearing damage is of serious concern in most forms of music-making but the most stressful situations and the most physical damage is recorded in the practice of classical music. The long hours of practice at the beginning of a musician's career are the main source of problems that sometimes only reveal themselves in later life. This book is aimed equally at student musicians practising musicians and instrumental and vocal teachers and it aims to help them to begin to understand how and why their bodies function as they do when they perform and also how they may avoid professionally related illness or injury and achieve the highest standards of performance.

More-than-One Health Humans Animals and the Environment Post-COVID

More-than-One Health Humans Animals and the Environment Post-COVID

This edited volume examines the complex entanglements of human animal and environmental health. It assembles leading scholars from the humanities social sciences natural sciences and medicine to explore existing One Health approaches and to envision a mode of health that is both more-than-human and also more sensitive to and explicit about colonial and neocolonial legacies—urging the decolonization of One Health. While acknowledging the importance of One Health the volume at the same time critically examines its roots highlighting the structural biases and power dynamics still at play in this global health regime. The volume is distinctive in its geographic breadth. It travels from Inuit sled dogs in the Arctic to rock hyraxes in Jerusalem from black-faced spoonbills in Taiwan to street dogs in India from spittle-bugs on Mallorca’s almond trees to jellyfish management at sea and from rabies in sub-Saharan Africa to massive culling practices in South Korea. Together the contributors call for One Health to move toward a more transparent plural and just perception of health that takes seriously the role of more-than-humans and of nonscientific knowledges pointing to ways in which One Health can—and should—be decolonized. This volume will appeal to researchers and practitioners in the medical humanities posthumanities environmental humanities science and technology studies animal studies multispecies ethnography anthrozoology and critical public health.
