        The Beethoven song companion

        by Paul Reid

        This is the first full-length, published study of Beethoven's songs. All the composer's songs with piano are included, with full German texts and translations, together with comprehensive notes on the poetry and the music. The inclusion of unfinished songs gives a fascinating insight into Beethoven's compositional methods. An introductory essay considers reasons for the relative neglect of the songs, the significance of Beethoven's choice of texts, his crucial role in the development of German art-song and specific aspects such as choice of key. Throughout the book, poetic and musical texts are discussed in their historical context, and in the overall context of Beethoven's life and music. It is anticipated that this book, like its predecessor The Schubert Song Companion, will encourage the performance and study of an important but comparatively neglected aspect of the work of the world's most celebrated composer.

        Chinesische Politische Philosophie der Gegenwart

        by Philippe Brunozzi, Mario Wenning, Lian Zhou

        Chinesische Philosophen und Philosophinnen setzen sich in den letzten Jahrzehnten intensiv mit den politischen Herausforderungen für China und die globale Ordnung auseinander. Neben der kritischen Aneignung traditionellen chinesischen Denkens und der Auseinandersetzung mit westlichen Diskussionen entwickeln sie dabei ganz eigenständige Diagnosen und Antworten. Trotz ihrer vielstimmigen und systematisch entwickelten Positionen sind ihre Denkansätze außerhalb Chinas weitgehend unbekannt geblieben. Dieser Band versammelt repräsentative Beiträge von u. a. Jiwei Ci, Wang Hui, Zhang Shuangli, Han Shuifa, Zhao Tingyang, Tu Weiming und Gan Yang, die die aktuelle Relevanz der chinesischen Politischen Philosophie verdeutlichen.

        A savage song

        Racist violence and armed resistance in the early twentieth-century U.S.–Mexico Borderlands

        by Margarita Aragon

        This book examines key moments in which collective and state violence invigorated racialized social boundaries around Mexican and African Americans in the United States, and in which they violently contested them. Bringing anti-Mexican violence into a common analytical framework with anti-black violence, A savage song examines several focal points in this oft-ignored history, including the 1915 rebellion of ethnic Mexicans in South Texas, and its brutal repression by the Texas Rangers and the 1917 mutiny of black soldiers of the 24th Infantry Regiment in Houston, Texas, in response to police brutality. Aragon considers both the continuities and stark contrasts across these different moments: how were racialized constructions of masculinity differently employed? How did African and Mexican American men, including those in uniform, respond to the violence of racism? And how was their resistance, including their claims to manhood and nation, understood by law enforcement, politicians, and the press? Building on extensive archival research, the book examines how African and Mexican American men have been constructed as 'racial problems', investigating, in particular, their relationship with law enforcement and ideas about black and Mexican criminality.

        Dawn Song

        by Michael Marano, Eva Bauche-Eppers

        Berückend schön, unvorstellbar grausam. Boston in der Vorweihnachtszeit 1990: Lawrence, ein melancholischer, verletzlicher Buchverkäufer, der vergeblich versucht, über die Trennung von seinem Liebhaber hinweg zu kommen, ahnt nicht, daß die sehr attraktive junge Frau, die in sein Haus zieht, ein mächtiger Sukkubus ist – eine Kreatur des Bösen, die ihre Erscheinung wechselt und menschliche Seelen aufsaugt. Und so werden die Straßen von Boston zum Austragungsort eines uralten Kampfes zwischen zwei verfeindeten Kräften des Bösen.
