The Routledge Companion to Interdisciplinary Studies in Singing Volume I: Development

The Routledge Companion to Interdisciplinary Studies in Singing Volume I: Development

The Routledge Companion to Interdisciplinary Studies in Singing Volume I: Development introduces the many voices necessary to better understand the act of singing—a complex human behaviour that emerges without deliberate training. Presenting research from the social sciences and humanities alongside that of the natural sciences and medicine alike this companion explores the relationship between hearing sensitivity and vocal production in turn identifying how singing is integrated with sensory and cognitive systems while investigating the ways we test and measure singing ability and development. Contributors consider the development of singing within the context of the entire lifespan focusing on its cognitive social and emotional significance in four parts: Musical historical and scientific foundations Perception and production Multimodality Assessment In 2009 the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada funded a seven-year major collaborative research initiative known as Advancing Interdisciplinary Research in Singing (AIRS). Together global researchers from a broad range of disciplines addressed three challenging questions: How does singing develop in every human being? How should singing be taught and used to teach? How does singing impact wellbeing? Across three volumes The Routledge Companion to Interdisciplinary Studies in Singing consolidates the findings of each of these three questions defining the current state of theory and research in the field. Volume I: Development tackles the first of these three questions tracking development from infancy through childhood to adult years.

Volume 19 Tome I: Kierkegaard Bibliography Afrikaans to Dutch

Volume 19 Tome I: Kierkegaard Bibliography Afrikaans to Dutch

The long tradition of Kierkegaard studies has made it impossible for individual scholars to have a complete overview of the vast field of Kierkegaard research. The large and ever increasing number of publications on Kierkegaard in the languages of the world can be simply bewildering even for experienced scholars. The present work constitutes a systematic bibliography which aims to help students and researchers navigate the seemingly endless mass of publications. The volume is divided into two large sections. Part I which covers Tomes I-V is dedicated to individual bibliographies organized according to specific language. This includes extensive bibliographies of works on Kierkegaard in some 41 different languages. Part II which covers Tomes VI-VII is dedicated to shorter individual bibliographies organized according to specific figures who are in some way relevant for Kierkegaard. The goal has been to create the most exhaustive bibliography of Kierkegaard literature possible and thus the bibliography is not limited to any specific time period but instead spans the entire history of Kierkegaard studies. | Volume 19 Tome I: Kierkegaard Bibliography Afrikaans to Dutch

Francis I and Sixteenth-Century France

Francis I and Sixteenth-Century France

The reputation of Francis I king of France (1515-47 ) has fluctuated over the centuries. Acclaimed as ’noble’ and ’great’ in the sixteenth century he came to be unfairly denigrated under the Bourbon kings and the republic. But in the twentieth century research based on archival material has restored his standing as one of the most important rulers of his age. The present volume brings together seventeen articles by Robert Knecht published over several decades on particular aspects of the reign with three specially translated from French into English. They examine the period in more depth than was possible in the author's 1994 biography of Francis I and include studies of the Concordat of 1516 with the papacy the Field of Cloth of Gold in 1520 the lit-de-justice of 1527 and the visit to France of the Emperor Charles V in 1540. Other articles consider the king’s attitude to the Reformation his court his relations with Paris and visits to Aquitaine his patronage of architecture as demonstrated by his building of the ch¢teau of Fontainebleau and his relations with his mother Louise of Savoy and sister Marguerite d’Angoulªme. The king’s love of books and the political advice he received from scholars are also considered as well as the extent of his ’absolutism’. Two articles compare the English and French Reformations and the nobilities of the two countries. The volume is intended as a contribution to the celebration of the 500th anniversary of Francis I’s accession. | Francis I and Sixteenth-Century France

The Reign of Nebuchadnezzar I in History and Historical Memory

The Reign of Nebuchadnezzar I in History and Historical Memory

Nebuchadnezzar I (r. 1125-1104) was one of the more significant and successful kings to rule Babylonia in the intervening period between the demise of the Kassite Dynasty in the 12th century at the end of the Late Bronze Age and the emergence of a new independent Babylonian monarchy in the last quarter of the 7th century. His dynamic reign saw Nebuchadnezzar active on both domestic and foreign fronts. He tended to the needs of the traditional cult sanctuaries and their associated priesthoods in the major cities throughout Babylonia and embarked on military campaigns against both Assyria in the north and Elam to the east. Yet later Babylonian tradition celebrated him for one achievement that was little noted in his own royal inscriptions: the return of the statue of Marduk Babylon’s patron deity from captivity in Elam. The Reign of Nebuchadnezzar reconstructs the history of Nebuchadnezzar I’s rule and drawing upon theoretical treatments of historical and collective memory examines how stories of his reign were intentionally utilized by later generations of Babylonian scholars and priests to create an historical memory that projected their collective identity and reflected Marduk’s rise to the place of primacy within the Babylonian pantheon in the 1st millennium BCE. It also explores how this historical memory was employed by the urban elite in discourses of power. Nebuchadnezzar I remained a viable symbol though with diminishing effect until at least the 3rd century BCE by which time his memory had almost entirely faded. This study is a valuable resource to students of the Ancient Near East and Nebuchadnezzar but is also a fascinating exploration of memory creation and exploitation in the ancient world. | The Reign of Nebuchadnezzar I in History and Historical Memory

A Dictionary of Archaic and Provincial Words Obsolete Phrases Proverbs and Ancient Customs from the XIV Century

A Dictionary of Archaic and Provincial Words Obsolete Phrases Proverbs and Ancient Customs from the XIV Century

So far I may be permitted to speak without intrenching on the limits of criticism. A work containing more than 50 000 words many of which have never appeared even in scattered glossaries and illustrated with very few exceptions by original authorities much contain valuable material for the philogist even if disfigured by errors. With respect to the latter contingency I am not acquainted with any glossary comprising merely a few hundred words which does not contain blunders although in many instances the careful attention of the editor has been specially directed to the task. Can I then anticipate that in a field so vast that no single life would sufice for a minute examination of every object I could have escaped proportionate liabilities? That such may be pointed out I have little doubt notwithstanding the pains to prevent their occurrence but it will be manifestly unfair to make them the test of merit or thence to pronounce a judgement on the accuracy of the whole. | A Dictionary of Archaic and Provincial Words Obsolete Phrases Proverbs and Ancient Customs from the XIV Century

The Nation’s Gratitude World War I and Citizenship Rights in Interwar Romania

The Nation’s Gratitude World War I and Citizenship Rights in Interwar Romania

A pioneering work for the history of veterans’ rights in Romania this study brings into focus the laws and policies the state developed in response to the unprecedented human losses in World War I. It features in lively and accessible language the varied responses of veterans widows and orphans to those policies. The analysis emphasizes how ordinary citizens became educated about and used state institutions in ways that highlight the class ethnic religious and gender norms of the day. The book offers a vivid case study of how disability as a personal reality for many veterans became a point of policy making a story that has seen little scholarly interest despite the enormous populations affected by these developments. Overall the monograph shows how in the postwar European states citizenship as engaged practice was shaped by both government policies and the interpretation a large and varied group of beneficiaries gave to these policies. The analysis provides insights of great interest to scholars of these themes while it offers examples of engaged citizenship useful for an undergraduate and nonspecialist audience. | The Nation’s Gratitude World War I and Citizenship Rights in Interwar Romania
