Kimerer L. LaMothe


Between Dancing And Writing: The Practice Of Religious Studies Kimerer L. LaMothe Book DescriptionThis book provides philosophical grounds for an emerging area of scholarship: the study of religion and dance. In the first part, LaMothe investigates why scholars in religious studies have tended to overlook dance, or rhythmic bodily movement, in favor of textual expressions of religious life. In close readings of Descartes, Kant, Schleiermacher, Hegel, and Kierkegaard, LaMothe traces this attitude to formative moments of the field in which philosophers relied upon the practice of writing to mediate between the study of Book DescriptionThis book provides philosophical grounds for an emerging area of scholarship: the study of religion and dance. In the first part, LaMothe investigates why scholars in religious studies have tended to overlook dance, or rhythmic bodily movement, in favor of textual expressions of religious life. In close readings of Descartes, Kant, Schleiermacher, Hegel, and Kierkegaard, LaMothe traces this attitude to formative moments of the field in which philosophers relied upon the practice of writing to mediate between the study of "religion," on the one hand, and "theology," on the other. In the second part, LaMothe revives the work of theologian, phenomenologist, and historian of religion Gerardus van der Leeuw for help in interpretinghow dancing can serve as a medium of religious experience and expression.

Nashville's Lower Broad: The Street That Music Made

Bill Rouda


Nashville's Lower Broad: The Street That Music Made Bill Rouda Book Description A gritty, moving, and honest profile in time of a legendary wellspring of country music Like Beale Street in Memphis and Bourbon Street in New Orleans, Lower Broadway was the heart of the country music scene in Nashville, the place where locals could rub elbows with stars and impromptu jam sessions could last late into the night. But after the Grand Ole Opry moved out of the Ryman Auditorium in the 1970s, Lower Broad deteriorated into a down-and-out skid row. When the Ryman's reopening and urban gentrification started bringing people?especially tourists?back to Lower Broad in the 1990s, locals fought to retain some of its old-time authenticity. Bill Rouda's evocative photographs captured the return of the spirit ofreal country music in honky-tonks like Tootsie's Orchid Lounge and Robert's Western World. Here bands like the hip, retro BR549 played for tips while fans danced the night away, ignoring the shadows of the newly constructed convention... книги, книжный магазин, интернет-магазин Book Description A gritty, moving, and honest profile in time of a legendary wellspring of country music Like Beale Street in Memphis and Bourbon Street in New Orleans, Lower Broadway was the heart of the country music scene in Nashville, the place where locals could rub elbows with stars and impromptu jam sessions could last late into the night.

Forest & Garden: Traces of Wildness in a Modernizing Land, 1897-1949

Melanie Louise Simo


Forest & Garden: Traces of Wildness in a Modernizing Land, 1897-1949 Melanie Louise Simo Book Description Book Description"In wildness is the preservation of the world," wrote Henry David Thoreau. But how the wild and the managed or artificially arranged environments coexist has been a matter of intense debate among foresters and landscape professionals at least since the era of Frederick Law Olmsted Sr. In Forest and Garden, Melanie L. Simo ranges through a period of landscape history that has been underexamined, between Olmsted and mid-twentieth-century modernism, when the contours of the debate were formed and the landscape professions came of age. Simo's book spans half a century, from the year that Charles Sprague Sargent's influential Garden and Forest magazine ceased publication in 1897 to the appearance in 1949 of two unusual books about land andlandscape--Aldo Leopold's Sand County Almanac and Jens Jensen's The Clearing--that marked the beginning of a new ecological awareness. Forest and Garden covers this middle ground by focusing on the apparent oppositions between......
