Mapping Musical Signification
Joan Grimalt
- Edition
- 1 edition
Music Springer Cham 9783030524951 Available
View details
Annotation: This book is a unique attempt to systematize the latest research on all that music connotes. Musicological reflections on musically expressive content have been pursued for some decades now, in spite of the formalist prejudices that can still hindermusicians and music lovers. The author organizes this body of research so that both professionals and everyday listeners can benefit from it – in plain English, but without giving up the level of depth required by the subject matter. Two criteria have guided his choice among the many ways to speak about musical meaning: its relevance to performance, and its suitability to the teaching context. The legacy of the so-called art music, without an interpretive approach that links ancient traditions to our present, runs the risk of missing the link to the new generations of musicians and listeners. Complementing the theoretical, systematic content, each chapter includes a wealth of examples, including the so-called popular music.

Signs Grow
Floyd Merrell
General Semiotics University of Toronto Press 0802007783 Available
View details
Other title information: Semiosis and Life Processes
Notes: 2nd book in trilogy "Signs Becoming Signs)
Annotation: Floyd Merrell's second book in his Signs Becoming Signs trilogy, correlating to his approach to Peircean 'secondness', or indexicality. In its preface, Merrell describes the purpose of this book, in relation to its predecessor, Our Perfusive, Pervasive Universe, to be that of a Faustian revelation. Amidst all that seems unknowable, a form, an episteme, a causal mapping, will be drawn!

Postmodernism, or, The cultural logic of late capitalism
Frederic Jameson
- Edition
- 1 edition
Culture Verso 9780860915379 Available
View details
Annotation: In his most wide-ranging and accessible work, Fredric Jameson argues that postmodernism is the cultural response to the latest systemic change in world capitalism. He seeks here to crystallize a definition of a term which has taken on so many meanings that it has virtually lost all historical significance. He presents an extensive discussion on the cultural landscape—both ‘high’ and ‘low’—of postmodernity, evaluating the political fortunes of the new term and surveying postmodern developments in a range of different fields—from market ideology to architecture, from painting and instalment art to contemporary punk film, from video art and high literature to deconstruction. Finally, Jameson revaluates the concept of postmodernism in light of postmodern critiques of totalization and historical narratives—from the notion of decadence to the dynamics of small groups, from religious fundamentalism to hi-tech science fiction—while touching on the nature of contemporary cultural critique and the possibilities of cognitive mapping in the present multinational world system. This provocative book will be fundamental to all future discussions of postmodernism.
