With Richard Wagner, opera reached the apex of German Romanticism. Originally published in 1851, when Wagner was in political exile, "Opera and Drama" outlines a new, revolutionary type of musical stage work, which would finally materialize as "The Ring of the Nibelung". Wagner's music drama, as he called it, aimed at a union of poetry, drama, music, and stagecraft. In a rare book-length study, the composer discusses the enhancement of dramas by operatic treatment and the subjects that make the best dramas. The expected Wagnerian voltage is here: in his thinking about myths such as "Oedipus", his theories about operatic goals and musical possibilities, his contempt for musical politics, his exaltation of feeling and fantasy, his reflections about genius, and his recasting of Schopenhauer. This edition includes the full text of volume 2 of William Ashton Ellis' 1893 translation commissioned by the London Wagner Society.

This book recounts a personal journey of self-acceptance, focusing on the author's creation and reliance of a persona (Paul D. Drevlin) as a defense mechanism against societal and familial pressures.? Beginning with a childhood marked by traumatic events, the author begins his desire of invisibility, later adopting the persona of Drevlin to navigate societal expectations and challenges, including his struggles with identity, sexuality, and religious conservatism. This book explores how the persona initially provided protection, safety, and acceptance to eventual self-realization that the persona was more a prisoner than a protector. The aim of this book is to open discussion regarding the shifts in acceptance experienced by the LGBTQ+ community over the years. It underscores the importance of family (whether that be birth family or family of choice) and peer support, community acceptance, and the changing dynamics of LGBTQ+ landscapes. The book also aims to stress the significance of fostering an inclusive society and respecting the diverse identities of individuals, advocating for understanding, empathy, and collective efforts toward equality and acceptance. Suitable for students studying LGBTQ+ studies, gender studies, sociology, psychology, social work, and creative writing, this book will also appeal to non-academic readers who may find the cultural and family themes significant to their own lives. This book recounts a personal journey of self-acceptance, focusing on the author's creation and reliance of a persona (Paul D. Drevlin) as a defense mechanism against societal and familial pressures.

Mixes experiences in art, coding, music, dance, choreography, video, and stage design. Many people relax when coding is introduced as a language, rather than math. This book mixes experiences in art, coding, music, dance, choreography, video, and stage design. Many people relax when coding is introduced as a language, rather than math. Even if someone creates alone, the technology involved in the process has already been developed by somebody else. Even one person's business requires professional input from others, and collaborations are often performed online.Dances and computer codes have unique structures. In both disciplines, steps are applied following patterns and guided by rules and restrictions. The rules obey conditions. The Dance Code script aims to make coding less feared by readers when talking with coders on the job and typing better prompts when using artificial intelligence. This book's dramatized, choreographed story unfolds technical information about coding and dancing.The Dance Code script tells the story of an online interaction between a coder and a prima ballerina, resulting in a shared understanding of their respective fields. An exchange between a coder and a dancer may inspire new ways to look at visually presenting knowledge through dancing, performing, or choreographed movement. Hence, the audience learns without studying.It is a part of the “Knowledge Through the Arts” series, consisting of:Dance Code - Dance Steps as a CodeNew Storytelling - Learning Through MetaphorsCode Appreciation - Reshaping KnowledgeNature Appreciation - Knowledge as Art

Like art appreciation and music appreciation, this code appreciation book invites the readers to look relaxedly into major programming concepts used in many disciplines through short stories set in alphabetical order. Some students fear technology with programming behind it, and shy away from the word "coding." Coding has become common and needed, and these stories are set to help non-coders lose their inhibition. It also might help with prompt writing. Many employers seek employees with experience in visual communication, technology, and storytelling skills. Most tasks are created through group efforts, so a better grasp of what other co-workers are doing speeds up the process.The book offers a new approach to storytelling by weaving coding into stories. Playfully, it encourages the readers to see computing as easier to understand and present in most disciplines. The book might benefit people from middle school, high school, college, and university students and faculty, advisors, chancellors, and those seeking majors or passions. People interested in computer graphics, arts, graphic design, computer science, and others may gain a general understanding of how technology affects various disciplines and how everything is connected.It is a part of the “Knowledge Through the Arts” series, consisting of:Dance Code - Dance Steps as a CodeNew Storytelling - Learning Through MetaphorsCode Appreciation - Reshaping KnowledgeNature Appreciation - Knowledge as Art Offers a new approach to storytelling by weaving coding into stories.

This set of story-based learning projects links performances and tasks with computing codes to show how a machine translates our goals into its language There is a global need to become less fearful of coding, as it improves communication with the coders on the job and helps with prompt writing, which hiring companies often request. This set of story-based learning projects links performances and tasks with computing codes to show how a machine translates our goals into its language. Metaphors link instructions telling a computer what task to perform with similar functions in other disciplines. The materials serve those in Computer Graphics, Digital Media, or anyone interested in understanding and becoming familiar with principles and the logic behind coding, and help understand machines when writing a prompt. Dance, music, and performing visually present knowledge through stories and serve as a metaphor for understanding how coding and current technologies affect various disciplines. By symbolizing basic ideas behind programming, this book shows how computing and nature overlap through storytelling.Most jobs are collaborative, and coding involves many parts of production processes. These knowledge-based stories improve communication between the artists and the coders to bridge the gap between them.It is a part of the “Knowledge Through the Arts” series, consisting of:Dance Code - Dance Steps as a CodeNew Storytelling - Learning Through MetaphorsCode Appreciation - Reshaping KnowledgeNature Appreciation - Knowledge as Art

Extended Mobility for the City as a Common offers a novel framework for understanding how urban inhabitants access and experience cities. It invites readers to critically examine the ways in which stigmatization and socioeconomic barriers combine to restrict access to urban opportunities for marginalized communities. Arguing that the right to the city is inseparable from the right to mobility, this book calls for a radical shift toward a welcoming and solidary city, both in transportation systems and in the inhabitants destinations. This book is structured into three parts. Part I introduces the concept of Extended Mobility, a multidimensional framework encompassing motility, accessibility, and porosity that provides a new lens to interrogate the multifaceted nature of mobility as a social phenomenon. Part II applies this framework through a grounded ethnographic comparison of Favela da Maré in Rio de Janeiro and the San Siro housing project in Milan. These rich and detailed studies develop robust methodological tools and theoretical insights that uncover the complex mobility experiences of peripheral urban inhabitants. In the final section, leading experts in transportation and urban planning engage Extended Mobility across different global settings to critique existing policies and explore pathways toward mobility justice and a city of rights for all. By integrating structural and experiential perspectives on urban mobility, this book is an essential resource for social science researchers and urban and transportation planning scholars as well as policymakers, practitioners, and activists seeking to foster more inclusive cities and empower communities to access the full possibilities of a common urban life.

This book delves into the embodiment of Chineseness in digital performance, utilising the innovative methodology of ‘techno-choreography.’ For scholars and practitioners across disciplines like dance, theatre, performance, music, human-computer interaction, and for those enthralled by technology-imbued compositions. This book delves into the embodiment of Chineseness in digital performance, utilising the innovative methodology of ‘techno-choreography.’This research critically examines professionally trained dancing bodies in Chinese dance from the vantage point of cultural transexperience. It offers profound discussions of Chineseness through an unprecedented lens, advancing a suite of choreographic tools beneficial for both academic and practical inquiries. The methodology of techno-choreography employed draws from theories as well as applications of interactivity, immersion, virtual reality, and motion capture systems. It perceives intercultural dancing bodies and cultural artefacts, such as chopsticks, gaoqiao, handkerchiefs, fans, and red silks, as interfaces during the dance composition process enacted within computational system environments. Insights are derived from full-length dance works created by the author: X-Body (2018), Mourning for a dead moon (2019), Unexpected Bodies (2020) and Being River (2024). This volume grapples with pertinent cultural and artistic questions including how Chineseness contributes to the process of techno-choreography, how technology affects the embodiment of Chineseness, and what Chineseness might be in the context of techno-choreography.This book will be indispensable for scholars and practitioners across disciplines such as dance, theatre, performance, music, and human–computer interaction, as well as for those enthralled by technology-imbued compositions.

'Hawker is a terrific creation' Bernard Cornwell Unfinished business, and a soul in search of redemption.Europe, Spring 1486. Facing a grisly death if captured alive, veteran mercenary and Plantagenet henchman Sir John Hawker and his unlikely band of misfits return to Venice to attempt to free the woman he left behind there months before. Braving the spies and militia of the Serene Republic, Hawker must somehow reach his beloved Chiara, overcome her captors and spirit her off the island. Hope hangs by a slender thread. But his conscience already carries a heavy burden: the weight of a lifetime of dubious deeds, bad decisions, dead friends and lost loves. If he survives the coming days, can he make amends and start a new life? Or will his unwavering loyalty to the White Rose and his friend Sir Giles Ellingham illegitimate son of Richard III lead him back to England to join the new rebellion against Henry Tudor? The epic conclusion to The Swords of the White Rose trilogy by master wordsmith Ethan Bale. Perfect for readers of Christian Cameron and David Gilman. Praise for the series'A brutal, brilliant tale, told with verve and pace. Hawker is a terrific creation' Bernard Cornwell 'Bale takes the reader from the terror of battle where a crown is lost and won to the sparkling jewel that is Venice, teeming with intrigue and treachery. Great storytelling' David Gilman, author of the Master of War series 'An absolute gem of a novel. I was taken aback by Bale's skill and talent. Meticulously researched, with a totally authentic medieval feel, the novel fizzes with action, romance and intrigue. A gripping yarn' Angus Donald, author of the Outlaw series 'Hawker is an ageing, flawed character and it is in his description of the man's inner turmoil, his bursts of energy and, above all, loyalty that the author has created a living soul Compelling, authentic characters, a tight narrative which drives the story with verve; dialogue which is neither mock Gothic nor anachronistic, all allow the reader to feel part of the sounds and sights of the late fifteenth century. The novel deserves high praise' The Ricardian What readers are saying about the series'I bought this to read on holiday on the back of a friend's recommendation. I don't normally read historical fiction like this but was blown away by the experience - it was a great story, told at a good clip with wonderful characters, action and lovely historical touches that made you really "feel" and appreciate the period but without weighing down the whole. I more than surprised myself by sneaking in the odd hour of reading here and there in ways that I never normally do. It was an absolute treat' 'The characterisation and period detail are superb and with plenty of action. The pace is just right, making it a really good and engaging read' 'A rollercoaster ride full of twists and turns' 'I can honestly say the book grabs the reader's attention and draws them in from the opening pages. It opens your mind to all sorts of possibilities to where the narrative is heading, then suddenly switches track, leaving you grasping for answers. It certainly had me riveted and enthralled' 'You will be drawn into the political intrigues of15th century Europe. Very informative and not too heavy. I would thoroughly recommend it.' 'Beautifully researched; an exciting & gripping tale of what might have been' 'Breathless and rollicking This reader could hardly bear to put it down' Autorid: Ethan Bale

Paola Bacchetta offers an innovative feminist and queer set of theories and approaches for analyzing power, subjects, and alliances among activists, artivists and social movements. In Co-Motion, theorist Paola Bacchetta proposes a new lexicon for analyzing power, subjects and alliances. Employing what she calls ‘theory-assemblages’ to describe how diverse theoretical and political approaches inspire movements and produce different kinds of alliances, Bacchetta engages the inseparability of power relations—such as colonialism, capitalism, racism, caste, misogyny, and speciesism—and how their combinations, operability, and the analyses required, shift in different contexts and lives of subjects. Focusing on France, India, Italy, and the US from the 1970s to the present, Co-Motion addresses a wide activist, artivist, and social movement archive— group statements, banners, pamphlets, graffiti, posters, poetry, sit-ins, films, art exhibits—to think and feel with the many ways that people, historically and today, come together to act. Through her expansive engagement with varied bodies of scholarship, sites of analysis, and kinds of reading, Bacchetta offers new approaches for analyzing, confronting and transforming power, and enacting freedom.
