Yoga And Modern Dance A Translational Fusion

Yoga And Modern Dance A Translational Fusion

Kiiskinen Jere

pokkari
Over the past 150 years yoga philosophy and asana practices have circulated to the U.S. and been incorporated into various modern dance techniques. Aspects of yoga are present in the dance community and practice through posture exercises in warm-ups, approaches to the creative process of making choreography utilizing theories of space, and performance philosophies through understanding of the relationship of the mind, self, body, and breath. Yoga philosophy and asana practice worked alongside and discreetly contributed to the development of modern dance in the U.S. beginning with dancers and choreographers in the early 1900s and continue in contemporary practice today. This dissertation re-imagines modern dance as transnational phenomenon through the lens of yoga. The methodology utilized for this examination is an interdisciplinary approach that includes research of dance literature, film, and performance practice to trace the circulation of ideas and exchange in these two practices and points of contact and acculturation between artists.

Early American Proverbs and Proverbial Phrases

Early American Proverbs and Proverbial Phrases

Whiting Bartlett Jere

Harvard University Press
1978
sidottu
p.B. J. Whiting savors proverbial expressions and has devoted much of his lifetime to studying and collecting them; no one knows more about British and American proverbs than he. The present volume, based upon writings in British North America from the earliest settlements to approximately 1820, complements his and Archer Taylor's Dictionary of American Proverbs and Proverbial Phrases, 1820-1880. It differs from that work and from other standard collections, however, in that its sources are primarily not "literary" but instead workaday writings - letters, diaries, histories, travel books, political pamphlets, and the like. The authors represent a wide cross-section of the populace, from scholars and statesmen to farmers, shopkeepers, sailors, and hunters. Mr. Whiting has combed all the obvious sources and hundreds of out-of-the-way publications of local journals and historical societies. This body of material, "because it covers territory that has not been extracted and compiled in a scholarly way before, can justly be said to be the most valuable of all those that Whiting has brought together," according to Albert B. Friedman. "What makes the work important is Whiting's authority: a proverb or proverbial phrase is what BJW thinks is a proverb or proverbial phrase. There is no objective operative definition of any value, no divining rod; his tact, 'feel,' experience, determine what's the real thing and what is spurious."

Towards a Better Global Economy

Towards a Better Global Economy

Franklin Allen; Jere R. Behrman; Nancy Birdsall; Shahrokh Fardoust; Dani Rodrik; Andrew Steer; Arvind Subramanian

Oxford University Press
2014

Substantial progress in the fight against extreme poverty was made in the last two decades. But the slowdown in global economic growth and significant increases in income inequality in many developed and developing countries raise serious concerns about the continuation of this trend into the 21st century. The time has come to seriously think about how improvements in official global governance, coupled with and reinforced by rising activism of 'global citizens' can lead to welfare-enhancing and more equitable results for global citizens through better national and international policies. This book examines the factors that are most likely to facilitate the process of beneficial economic growth in low-, middle-, and high-income countries. It examines past, present, and future economic growth; demographic changes; the hyperglobalization of trade; the effect of finance on growth; climate change and resource depletion; and the sense of global citizenship and the need for global governance in order to draw longer-term implications, identify policy options for improving the lives of average citizens around the world, and make the case for the need to confront new challenges with truly global policy responses. The book documents how demographic changes, convergence, and competition are likely to bring about massive shifts in the sectoral and geographical composition of global output and employment, as the center of gravity of the global economy moves toward Asia and emerging economies elsewhere. It shows that the legacies of the 2008-09 crisis-high unemployment levels, massive excess capacities, and high debt levels-are likely to reduce the standard of living of millions of people in many countries over a long period of adjustment and that fluctuations in international trade, financial markets, and commodity prices, as well as the tendency of institutions at both the national and international level to favor the interests of the better-off and more powerful pose substantial risks for citizens of all countries. The chapters and their policy implications are intended to stimulate public interest and facilitate the exchange of ideas and policy dialogue.

Kiira Korpi

Kiira Korpi

Kiira Korpi; Jere Nurminen

MCFARLAND CO INC
2022
pokkari
Finnish figure skater Kiira Korpi's career included triumphal championships and bitter disappointments. Trained from early childhood in a sport that demands uncompromising self-discipline and unrelenting work, her "fight until you make it" attitude brought her success and fame--and an insidious performance anxiety. Mental and physical burnout forced her retirement in 2015. With interviews and quotes from family, friends, coaches and competitors, Korpi's candid memoir describes the making and eventual undoing of a champion, reveals a darker side to the "ice princess" image of women's figure skating and advocates a more holistic, athlete-centered model of training.
