Annotation: Systems of Musical Sense breathes new life into the field of music semiotics in its intuitive mix of logical rigor and hermeneutical interpretation and unique approach to paradigmatic analysis (Ruwet, Nattiez) and established theories of tinal music (Schoenberg). More significantly, te authors lay out an entirely new and innovative theory in their concept of musical homestasis, a phenomenon closely related to the fundamental law of physics which states that all things set in motion, organic and inorganic, tend to return to their initial point of rest. In tonal music, which also incorporates teology, this can take place at different levels, embodied by various parameters. The sensitive analyses here demonstrate ramifications of this axiom and cast new light on the structuring and effects de sens of tinal genres ranging in diversity from Bach chorales to Wagnerian opera. The culmination of mera tha a decade of research by this tea of widely published music scholars, the book is also a starting point: cognitivists, theorists, musicologists, and others can use the analytic methos "as is", develop it further, or transform it.The systems unvailed here need not be confined to tonal, "common-practice" art music. As universal axiom at least as dependable as the gestaltists "law of good continuation", the theory of homeostasis reveals new dimensions in earlier musical style and thos of more contemporary vintage.

The Perception of the Environment
Tim Ingold

Other title information: Essays in livelihood, dwelling and skill
Annotation: In this work Tim Ingold offers a persuasive new approach to understanding how human beings perceive their surroundings. He argues that what we are used to calling cultural variation consists, in the first place, of variations in skill. Neither innate nor acquired, skills are grown, incorporated into the human organism through practice and training in an environment. They are thus as much biological as cultural. To account for the generation of skills we have therefore to understand the dynamics of development. And this in turn calls for an ecological approach that situates practitioners in the context of an active engagement with the constituents of their surroundings. The twenty-three essays comprising this book focus in turn on the procurement of livelihood, on what it means to ‘dwell’, and on the nature of skill, weaving together approaches from social anthropology, ecological psychology, developmental biology and phenomenology in a way that has never been attempted before. The book is set to revolutionise the way we think about what is ‘biological’ and ‘cultural’ in humans, about evolution and history, and indeed about what it means for human beings – at once organisms and persons – to inhabit an environment. The Perception of the Environment will be essential reading not only for anthropologists but also for biologists, psychologists, archaeologists, geographers and philosophers.
