State And Society In Brazil Continuity And Change

State And Society In Brazil Continuity And Change

This volume grew out of a conference series sponsored jointly by the Stanford-Berkeley Joint Center for Latin American Studies and the Instituto Universitario de Pesquisas do Rio de Janeiro (IUPERJ). Entitled Opportunities and Constraints in Peripheral Industrial Society: The Case of Brazil the first conference was held in Nova Friburgo in July 1983 and was followed up by another at Berkeley in late January 1984. In the course of our discussions the subject matter widened so that a new title was chosen for this book. Also in the interim as Brazil made the transition to democracy and returned to economic growth many topics on the agenda for the 1980s emerged in clearer focus so that the chapters have all been sharpened and upgraded. In the division of labor that produced this book Nunes coordinated the project at Berkeley and in Brazil while Wirth and Bogenschild did the editing. | State And Society In Brazil Continuity And Change

The Temple of Venus and Rome and Santa Francesca Romana at the Roman Forum Preservation and Transformation

The Temple of Venus and Rome and Santa Francesca Romana at the Roman Forum Preservation and Transformation

This book examines the influence of architectural design in the conservation of historic buildings by discussing in detail an important building complex in Rome: the Temple of Venus and Rome the monastery of Santa Maria Nova and the church of Santa Francesca Romana. As the most complete site in the Roman Forum that has reached our times with a rich architectural stratification almost intact it is a clear product of continuous preservation and transformation and it has not been studied in its complexity until now. The Temple of Venus and Rome and Santa Francesca Romana at the Roman Forum unravels the original designs and the subsequent interventions including Giacomo Boni’s pioneering conservation of the monastery carried out while excavating the Roman Forum in the early twentieth century. The projects are discussed in context to show their significance and the relationships between architects and patrons. Through its interdisciplinary focus on architectural design conservation archaeology history and construction this study is an ideal example for scholars students and architects of how to carry out research in architectural conservation. | The Temple of Venus and Rome and Santa Francesca Romana at the Roman Forum Preservation and Transformation

Global Percussion Innovations The Australian Perspective

Global Percussion Innovations The Australian Perspective

First emerging in North America and Europe in the late 1920s contemporary percussion practices have transitioned from the fringes of contemporary music to the forefront over the past 90 years. In the 1960s contemporary percussion practices reached Australian shores and a new generation of artists added their voices to this narrative. The role of Australian activity is not yet embedded in the wider narrative of international contemporary percussion nor is the significance of developments in contemporary percussion practices fully realised in the context of Australian music history. In this monograph political social and cultural influences on this art form will be examined for the first time in a historical survey of contemporary percussion music in Australia over a 50-year period from 1960 to 2010. The rise of the percussion ensemble in the twentieth century to a standard chamber music ensemble is now recognised as one of the major advances in western art music practice internationally. A focus will be placed on ensemble activity via definitive documentation and analysis of ensembles that are amongst the most pioneering and longest established of Australian contemporary music organisations including the Australian Percussion Ensemble Synergy Percussion Adelaide Percussions Nova Ensemble Tetrafide Percussion Taikoz Clocked Out and Speak Percussion amongst others. Closing with a discussion of influences and identity this historical narrative will expand our understanding of the impact of Australian contributions to the international contemporary music scene while simultaneously examining how developments in contemporary percussion have contributed to Australia’s cultural identity. | Global Percussion Innovations The Australian Perspective
