Joachim Andersen

Joachim Andersen

Kyle Dzapo; András Adorján; William Wilsen

OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS INC
2025
sidottu
A fascinating, influential musician of the late nineteenth century, Joachim Andersen was the founding principal flutist of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, a renowned virtuoso and composer of flute music, and a leader in Scandinavian musical life. Every flutist plays his etudes, but few know anything about his intriguing life, his role as an entrepreneur, or his music beyond the devilishly difficult studies. This book is the definitive resource for Andersen's life and music and brings together his story--told through accounts of the founding of the Berlin Philharmonic and the development of musical life in Denmark at the turn of the twentieth century--with a well-crafted study of his compositions. Authors Kyle Dzapo, András Adorján, and William Wilsen track the intriguing life of Andersen, who rose to fame as a founding member of the Berlin Philharmonic in 1882. He was selected as soloist for the orchestra's inaugural concert and remained its favourite virtuoso for many years, while also serving as assistant conductor during its first decade. The book recounts how a mysterious tongue malady forced the end of his flute-playing career, causing Andersen to return to Copenhagen. There, he became a strong-willed, controversial, entrepreneurial conductor who worked indefatigably to advance the musical life of his native city. As a champion of challenging music, Andersen was the first conductor in Denmark to follow the example of Hans von Bülow and direct his attention to the musicians, thereby turning his back to the audience. Because of this chance, he became an enigma to them and the target of Danish cartoonists. The authors also interweave accounts of an equally compelling figure, his brother Vigo. A virtuoso flutist and strikingly handsome showman, Vigo immigrated to America, performed as soloist and member of Gilmore's Band, and then became founding principal flutist of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, a position he held until his suicide in January 1895. Delving into never-published biographical material gleaned from thirty years of research, this book offers a full portrait of Joachim Andersen alongside a comprehensive thematic catalogue of his compositions and a revealing study of his etudes and other compositions.

Processual Tonality and the Psychoacoustics of Chromaticism

Processual Tonality and the Psychoacoustics of Chromaticism

Kyle Hutchinson

OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS INC
2026
sidottu
Processual Tonality and the Psychoacoustics of Chromaticism presents a theory of how chromaticism in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century European and North American music affects the ways in which we hear, interpret, and process pitch relationships. Kyle Hutchinson questions how to model a theory of tonal-functional relationships when the sounds heard signal specific diatonically conditioned expectations, but those expectations ultimately fail to coalesce. In other words, he asks if it is possible to circumnavigate the ways in which tonal conditioning has corralled the psychoacoustic patterns involved in how we listen to, perceive, and process harmonic relationships in analytic spaces. The author's answer is a theory of processual tonality, which involves recognizing that harmonic perception exists on a psychoacoustic continuum across different listening spaces. Hutchinson primarily focuses on the less routinely studied composers, such as Franck, Zemlinsky, both Gustav and Alma Mahler, the early tonal works of Schoenberg, as well as the late music of Richard Strauss, and the music of Florence Price, but also includes examples from works by Schumann, Hensel, Chopin, Wagner, and Brahms. Processual Tonality and the Psychoacoustics of Chromaticism offers a new conception of harmony and function and energizes the discussion of this early twentieth-century tonal music that so often gets pushed aside in favor of the narrative that tonality ends around 1900.

Moral Minorities and the Making of American Democracy

Moral Minorities and the Making of American Democracy

Kyle G. Volk

Oxford University Press Inc
2014
sidottu
Should the majority always rule? If not, how should the rights of minorities be protected? In Moral Minorities and the Making of American Democracy, historian Kyle G. Volk unearths the origins of modern ideas and practices of minority-rights politics. Focusing on controversies spurred by the explosion of grassroots moral reform in the early nineteenth century, he shows how a motley but powerful array of self-understood minorities reshaped American democracy as they battled laws regulating Sabbath observance, alcohol, and interracial contact. Proponents justified these measures with the "democratic" axiom of majority rule. In response, immigrants, black northerners, abolitionists, liquor dealers, Catholics, Jews, Seventh-day Baptists, and others articulated a different vision of democracy requiring the protection of minority rights. These moral minorities prompted a generation of Americans to reassess whether "majority rule" was truly the essence of democracy, and they ensured that majority tyranny would no longer be just the fear of elites and slaveholders. Beginning in the mid-nineteenth-century, minority rights became the concern of a wide range of Americans attempting to live in an increasingly diverse nation. Volk reveals that driving this vast ideological reckoning was the emergence of America's tradition of popular minority-rights politics. To challenge hostile laws and policies, moral minorities worked outside of political parties and at the grassroots. They mobilized elite and ordinary people to form networks of dissent and some of America's first associations dedicated to the protection of minority rights. They lobbied officials and used constitutions and the common law to initiate "test cases" before local and appellate courts. Indeed, the moral minorities of the mid-nineteenth century pioneered fundamental methods of political participation and legal advocacy that subsequent generations of civil-rights and civil-liberties activists would adopt and that are widely used today.

The Divine Madness of Philip K. Dick

The Divine Madness of Philip K. Dick

Kyle Arnold

Oxford University Press Inc
2016
sidottu
Widely recognized as one of the most inventive and iconic science fiction writers of all time, Philip K. Dick is an author whose literary sophistication elevated the sci-fi genre into the storytelling powerhouse it is today. His works, known for their portrayals of simulated realities interspersed with universal and philosophical themes, have become enormously influential among writers of all genres and have inspired numerous television and film adapations, including the 1982 cult classic Blade Runner. Underneath the veneer of fame, Dick's personal life matched the dramatic intensity of his most beloved works. Beginning with the tragic death of his twin sister, his life took on a fantastical, science fiction-like quality when, in 1974, he had what some consider to be a psychotic episode and what others believe to be a mystical experience of some kind. According to Dick, a pink light beamed psychic information into his brain, awakening memories of a past life as a Christian revolutionary and granting him contact with time-traveling extraterrestrials. He also had visions of ancient Rome superimposed over his neighborhood in suburban San Francisco, and later on, attempted to warn local police that he was a machine programmed to self-destruct. As a result, Philip K. Dick spent the rest of his life trying to fathom the meaning of what he called his "divine madness." Was it schizophrenia? Or did he experience a genuine prophecy of the sacred order? In The Divine Madness of Philip K. Dick, clinical psychologist Kyle Arnold probes the fascinating mystery at heart and mind, and shows readers how early traumas opened Dick to profound spiritual experiences while also predisposing him toward drug dependency and violence. By disputing allegations of schizophrenia, Arnold contends that Dick's paranoia was instead caused by his addiction to speed, and that his mental illness was borne out of the powerful scenes of spirituality depicted in the sci-fi stories he helped to create.

Human Social Evolution

Human Social Evolution

Kyle Summers; Bernard Crespi

Oxford University Press Inc
2013
sidottu
Richard D. Alexander is an accomplished entomologist who turned his attention to solving some of the most perplexing problems associated with the evolution of human social systems. Using impeccable Darwinian logic and elaborating, extending and adding to the classic theoretical contributions of pioneers of behavioral and evolutionary ecology like George Williams, William Hamilton and Robert Trivers, Alexander developed the most detailed and comprehensive vision of human social evolution of his era. His ideas and hypotheses have inspired countless biologists, anthropologists, psychologists and other social scientists to explore the evolution of human social behavior in ever greater detail, and many of his seminal ideas have stood the test of time and come to be pillars of our understanding of human social evolution. This volume presents classic papers or chapters by Dr. Alexander, each focused on an important theme from his work. Introductions by Dr. Alexander's former students and colleagues highlight the importance of his work to the field, describe more recent work on the topic, and discuss current issues of contention and interest.

The Positive Case for Negative Campaigning

The Positive Case for Negative Campaigning

Kyle Mattes; David P. Redlawsk

University of Chicago Press
2015
nidottu
Turn on the television or sign in to social media during election season and chances are you'll see plenty of negative campaigning. For decades, conventional wisdom has held that Americans hate negativity in political advertising, and some have even argued that its pervasiveness in recent seasons has helped to drive down voter turnout. Arguing against this commonly held view, Kyle Mattes and David P. Redlawsk show not only that some negativity is accepted by voters as part of the political process, but that negative advertising is necessary to convey valuable information that would not otherwise be revealed. The most comprehensive treatment of negative campaigning to date, The Positive Case for Negative Campaigning uses models, surveys, and experiments to show that much of the seeming dislike of negative campaigning can be explained by the way survey questions have been worded. By failing to distinguish between baseless and credible attacks, surveys fail to capture differences in voters' receptivity. Voters' responses, the authors argue, vary greatly and can be better explained by the content and believability of the ads than by whether the ads are negative. Mattes and Red-lawsk go on to establish how voters make use of negative information and why it is necessary. Many voters are politically naive and unlikely to make inferences about candidates' positions or traits, so the ability of candidates to go on the attack and focus explicitly on information that would not otherwise be available is crucial to voter education.

Evangelical Gotham

Evangelical Gotham

Kyle B. Roberts

University of Chicago Press
2016
sidottu
At first glance, evangelical and Gotham seem like an odd pair. What does a movement of pious converts and reformers have to do with a city notoriously full of temptation and sin? More than you might think, says Kyle B. Roberts, who argues that religion must be considered alongside immigration, commerce, and real estate scarcity as one of the forces that shaped the New York City we know today. In Evangelical Gotham, Roberts explores the role of the urban evangelical community in the development of New York between the American Revolution and the Civil War. As developers prepared to open new neighborhoods uptown, evangelicals stood ready to build meetinghouses. As the city's financial center emerged and solidified, evangelicals capitalized on the resultant wealth, technology, and resources to expand their missionary and benevolent causes. When they began to feel that the city's morals had degenerated, evangelicals turned to temperance, Sunday school, prayer meetings, antislavery causes, and urban missions to reform their neighbors. The result of these efforts was Evangelical Gotham a complicated and contradictory world whose influence spread far beyond the shores of Manhattan.

Turtles of North America

Turtles of North America

Kyle Horner

FIREFLY BOOKS LTD
2024
nidottu
Turtles are among the most fascinating, attractive, easily recognized and loved vertebrates on the planet. Yet, of the hundreds of species worldwide, well over half are in danger of becoming extinct due to habitat loss, road mortality, disease, commercial fishing, harvesting for food or sale as pets. Turtles need our help to survive; this book describes some of these common threats to turtles, and how we can take positive action to help them survive and thrive. Turtles have been around since the time of the dinosaurs — over 230 million years. They have an amazing ability to heal from injuries that would kill many other species and as well as incredible physiological capabilities. From tunnelling deep into the earth and making kilometredeep oceanic dives, to full-body freezing in winter and tolerating hot sandy beaches, turtles have remarkable abilities that are belied by their slow-and-steady public image. Turtles of North America begins with an introduction to turtle biology, how they diversified over time and how we classify the groups of turtles that exist today. A section about anatomy details their basic body plan, and how it varies to take advantage of different environments. A section about behaviour covers how they live, from what they eat to what eats them, and their importance in the environment. Fully illustrated species accounts describe the 64 species of turtles that inhabit the continental United States and Canada and the oceans that surround them. For each turtle there are photographs and text that show how to identify each species and give information about its life history. A range map shows where each turtle may be found. To complete this comprehensive guidebook, numerous additional pages highlight interesting or unusual aspects of North American turtle species and a section about turtle conservation tells you how to protect and support turtles.

Columbia University Press
2018
pokkari
The Hollywood B-Film offers readers a concise overview and compelling analysis of the so-called B-film in the United States between the late 1920s—when the emergence of the double-feature film exhibition format led to the creation of motion pictures intended for the bottom half of a theater's dual bill—and the contemporary period, when an increasing number of distribution channels and exhibition outlets for commercial feature films have shifted the B-film's traditional definition but not its cultural importance or pervasiveness. Based to a significant degree on original, primary source research culled from film studio archives and from trade press, newspaper coverage, and other contemporary accounts, each chapter of this volume offers a clear and concise examination of a distinct period in the history of this vast but relatively unknown area of film history. Case studies explore Warner Bros.' B-film unit in the 1930s, Poverty Row stalwart Monogram Pictures in the 1940s and 1950s, independent upstart King Bros. in the 1960s and 1970s, and Quentin Tarantino's and Robert Rodriguez's homage to B-film excess in Grindhouse (2007).
