Black Opera : History, Power, Engagement Naomi Andre [Andre, Naomi] University of Illinois Press, University of Illinois Press, Urbana, 2018

From classic films like Carmen Jones to contemporary works like The Diary of Sally Hemings and U-Carmen eKhayelitsa, American and South African artists and composers have used opera to reclaim black people's place in history. Naomi André draws on the experiences of performers and audiences to explore this music's resonance with today's listeners. Interacting with creators and performers, as well as with the works themselves, André reveals how black opera unearths suppressed truths. These truths provoke complex, if uncomfortable, reconsideration of racial, gender, sexual, and other oppressive ideologies. Opera, in turn, operates as a cultural and political force that employs an immense, transformative power to represent or even liberate. Viewing opera as a fertile site for critical inquiry, political activism, and social change, Black Opera lays the foundation for innovative new approaches to applied scholarship.

lgli/The Music of Mzilikazi Khumalo Language, Culture, and Song in South Africa [3953368].pdf

The Music of Mzilikazi Khumalo: Language, Culture, and Song in South Africa Thomas Pooley, Naomi André, Innocentia Mhlambi, Donato Somma Bloomsbury Academic; Bloomsbury, 2024

Mzilikazi Khumalo (1932-2021), an iconic figure in choral music in South Africa, rose to prominence as one of Africa's leading composers of art music. This is a work of music history. Biographical essays on Khumalo's major works, including those for choir, orchestra, and opera are complemented by contextual studies of his compositions and arrangements as well as reflections on his roles as editor, conductor, and music director. Specifically in the context of South Africa's cultural and political transition from Apartheid to democracy, Khumalo's key role in establishing the Nation Building Massed Choir Festival, a multi-racial institution that forged an inclusive space for music, in the 1980s is discussed as evidence of his importance and relevance in South African culture. Khumalo's major works are studied in relation to contemporary art music, choral composition, and traditional song. These are UShaka KaSenzangakhona (1996), an African epic, and Princess Magogo KaDinuzulu (2002), one of the first indigenous African operas. Khumalo's artistic collaborators provide insight into their experiences working on these major projects, documenting the relationships the composer cultivated with his peers. This volume addresses a lacuna in the literature on South African art music which until recently tended to focus on works in the classical tradition and shows that Khumalo is a composer without peer in his synthesis of classical and choral, traditional and contemporary.

André Gide : pederasty and pedagogy Segal, Naomi Clarendon Press, Oxford, New York, England, 1998

"This book makes a powerful and sometimes contentious contribution to current debates in gender, feminism, and queer theory. Tracing the hydraulic image in a range of theoretical texts on pedagogy, pederasty, reproductive fantasy, and the anthropology of body fluids, Naomi Segal goes on to examine this imagery in the writings of Andre Gide." "Gide's sexuality was explicitly central to everything he wrote, but it was complex and diverse, motivated as much by undesire as by curiosity and the chase. The ventriloquism of the female voice, versions of triangularity, the potentially endless male chain, the desire of sun on skin, a sideways genealogy, and the gratuity of crime, education, virtue, or play - these mobile patterns are found throughout his fiction and non-fiction. In Gide's polemic, it is always better to be loved by an uncle than an aunt; but all love is motivated by the fluidity of the swerve."--Jacket.

Blackness in Opera Naomi Andr; Guthrie Ramsey; Karen M.

Gauthier; Jennifer McFarlane-Harris; Sarah Schmalenberger; Ann Sears; Clarence Cameron White; Gayle Murchison; Jonathan O. Wipplinger Ill. : University of Illinois Press, 1st, First Edition, FR, 2012

Blackness in Opera critically examines the intersections of race and music in the multifaceted genre of opera. A diverse cross-section of scholars places well-known operas ( Porgy and Bess, Aida, Treemonisha ) alongside lesser-known works such as Frederick Delius's Koanga, William Grant Still's Blue Steel, and Clarence Cameron White's Ouanga! to reveal a new historical context for re-imagining race and blackness in opera. The volume brings a wide-ranging, theoretically informed, interdisciplinary approach to questions about how blackness has been represented in these operas, issues surrounding characterization of blacks, interpretation of racialized roles by blacks and whites, controversies over race in the theatre and the use of blackface, and extensions of blackness along the spectrum from grand opera to musical theatre and film. In addition to essays by scholars, the book also features reflections by renowned American tenor George Shirley. Contributors are Naomi André, Melinda Boyd, Gwynne Kuhner Brown, Karen M.

Black opera : history, power, engagement André, Naomi Adele University of Illinois Press, 1, 2018

This is a book about thinking, interpreting, and writing about music in performance that incorporates how race, gender, sexuality, and nation help shape the analysis of opera today. Case-study operas are chosen within the diaspora of the United States and South Africa. Both countries had segregation policies that kept black performers and musicians out of opera. During the civil rights movement and after apartheid, black performers in both countries not only excelled in opera, they also began writing their own stories into the genre. Featured operas in this study span the Atlantic and bring together works performed in the West (the United States and Europe) and South Africa. Focal works are: __From the Diary of Sally Hemings__ (William Bolcom and Sandra Seaton), __Porgy and Bess__, and __Winnie: The Opera__ (Bongani Ndodana-Breen). A chapter is devoted to the nineteenth-century Carmens (novella by Mérimée and opera by Bizet) and black settings in the United States (__Carmen Jones__, __Carmen: A Hip Hopera__) and South Africa (__U-Carmen eKhayelitsha__). Woven within the discussions of specific works are three rubrics for how the text and music create the drama: Who is in the story? Who speaks? and Who is in the audience doing the interpreting? These questions, combined with a historical context that includes how a work also resonates in the present day, form the basis for an engaged musicological practice.

"The Chronicle of King Galawdewos (r. 1540-1559), reporting the nineteen years of the king's reign, is one of the most useful and significant historical sources for the history of Christian-Muslim relation in the sixteenth century of Ethiopia and the Horn. It represents a peculiar text in Ge'ez historiography both because of its narrative structure and the underlying sources used by the chronicler. Numerous Arabisms appear in the text, which eventually suggest that the Chronicle was written by a person with an outstanding knowledge of Arabic, in 1561. The book presents a new critical edition based on all available manuscripts and provides some detailed introductory notes and an English translation. The new edition yields philological findings concerning the Chronicle of King Galawdewos in particular and new inputs that call for re-editing the Ethiopian royal chronicles in general. It also adds valuable by now not recorded items for Ge'ez lexicography and corrects historical distortions resulted from the previous edition. Above all, the work provides a text-critically established edition of the Chronicle of King Galawdewos accompanied by an up-to-date concisely annotated translation, which offer new insights into the late medieval history and historiography of Ethiopia and the Horn of Africa."--Provided by the publisher.

Empire of Ivory : A Novel of Temeraire Naomi Novik Paw Prints 2008-04-18, Temeraire, bk. 4, Paw Prints ed, United States, 2008

“A new writer is soaring on the wings of a dragon.”–The New York Times“Enthralling reading–it’s like Jane Austen playing Dungeons & Dragons with Eragon’s Christopher Paolini.”–Time, on His Majesty’s DragonTragedy has struck His Majesty’s Aerial Corps, whose magnificent fleet of fighting dragons and their human captains valiantly defend England’s shores against the encroaching armies of Napoleon Bonaparte. An epidemic of unknown origin and no known cure is decimating the noble dragons’ ranks–forcing the hopelessly stricken into quarantine. Now only Temeraire and a pack of newly recruited dragons remain uninfected–and stand as the only means of an airborne defense against France’s ever bolder sorties.Bonaparte’s dragons are already harrowing Britain’s ships at sea. Only one recourse remains: Temeraire and his captain, Will Laurence, must take wing to Africa, whose shores may hold the cure to the mysterious and deadly contagion. On this mission there is no time to waste, and no telling what lies in store beyond the horizon or for those left behind to wait, hope, and hold the line.“A gripping adventure full of rich detail and the impossible wonder of gilded fantasy.”–Entertainment Weekly, on His Majesty’s Dragon“A thrilling fantasy . . . All hail Naomi Novik.”–The Washington Post Book World, on His Majesty’s Dragon

The Cambridge Companion To Gershwin (cambridge Companions To Music) Anna Harwell Celenza (Editor) Cambridge University Press (Virtual Publishing), Cambridge Companions to Music, 1, 2019

George Gershwin is often described as a quintessentially American composer. This Cambridge Companion explains why, engaging with the ways in which his music was shaped by American political, intellectual, cultural and business interests. As a composer and performer, Gershwin embraced technological advances and broke new ground in music business practices. In the decades preceding World War II, he captured the mechanistic pulse of modern life with his concert works and lay the groundwork for the Great American Songbook with his Broadway shows and film music. With his brother Ira, and his cousins Henry and B. A. Botkin, Gershwin explored various ethnic and cultural identities and contemplated their roles in US culture. His music confronted race during the Jim Crow era and continues to engage with issues of race today. This interdisciplinary exploration of Gershwin's life and music describes his avowed pursuit of an 'American' musical identity and its ongoing legacy.

Parfois, la vérité est vraiment incroyable! C'est ce que découvre Noémie dans cette nouvelle aventure où elle se voit confrontée à quelque chose d'inconcevable : sa grand-maman Lumbago, « sa belle grand-maman d'amour enrobée de sucre de lune, de miel de soleil, de poudre d'étoile filante, de caramel fondant de voie lactée », lui cache quelque chose! Et tous les indices semblent mener à la même conclusion : grand-maman Lumbago est un fantôme! Impossible? C'est bien ce que croyait Noémie jusqu'à ce que... Noémie ne comprend plus ce qui se passe. Sa grand-maman Lumbago n'est plus comme avant. Soit elle est perdue dans ses pensées, soit elle pose des gestes incompréhensibles... Évidemment, Noémie ne peut laisser les choses se passer ainsi sans rien faire. Il faut enquêter! Mais grand-maman Lumbago ne veut répondre à aucune de ses questions. Elle affirme même qu'elle ne peut rien dire. « Ah oui? C'est ce qu'on va voir! », s'exclame une Noémie plus décidée que jamais à résoudre cette énigme. Pourquoi sa grand-maman adorée lui cache-t-elle des choses? Pourquoi achète-t-elle des vêtements dont elle n'a pas besoin, qu'elle retourne ensuite au magasin? Pourquoi s'intéresse-t-elle tout à coup aux films de fantômes? aux articles sur les fantômes? aux draps blancs?

Geschichte der Welt 600-1350 Geteilte Welten Akira Iriye; Jürgen Osterhammel; Daniel G. König; Anna Leube; Wolf Heinrich Leube; Andreas Wirthensohn; Martin Richter; Werner Roller; Daniel G. König; Christopher S. Beekman; Michael D. Mathiowetz; Michael Borgolte; François-Xavier Fauvelle; André Wink; Naomi Standen; Justin Jennings Verlag C.H. Beck oHG, 2023

Zwischen 600 und 1350 bot die Erde noch so viel Platz, dass Individuen, Gruppen und ganze Gesellschaften isoliert voneinander existieren konnten. Australien und Ozeanien standen noch gar nicht, der amerikanische Doppelkontinent kaum wahrnehmbar mit Entwicklungen in Europa, Afrika und Asien in Verbindung. Doch wurden in dieser Periode immer mehr Menschen in Netzwerke eingebunden, die Objekte, Praktiken und Ideen über Tausende von Kilometern verbreiteten und dabei Einfluss nahmen auf Entstehung und Zerfall von Herrschaftsräumen. Sie befeuerten in dieser Epoche der Geschichte der Welt eine Dynamik, welche die Isolation einander noch fremder Gesellschaften an ein Ende brachte. Weltgeschichte ist lange Zeit als eine Geschichte des Aufstiegs und des Niedergangs einer kleinen Zahl von geschrieben worden. Unter diesen Kulturen schienen Europa oder der atlantische während der letzten Jahrhunderte nach den Kriterien Macht, Wohlstand und kulturelle Kreativität zu dominieren. Das neue sechsbändige Werk zur Weltgeschichte, das von einem Team von Historikerinnen und Historikern vorwiegend aus den USA und Deutschland erarbeitet wird und das gleichzeitig bei C.H.Beck und Harvard University Press erscheint, verabschiedet sich von diesen Traditionen. Es leugnet die Errungenschaften des Westens nicht, stellt sie aber in den größeren Zusammenhang gleichzeitiger Entwicklungen in anderen Teilen der Welt. Dadurch wird das allmähliche, dabei aber krisenhafte Entstehen des heutigen dicht integrierten und pluralistischen Weltzusammenhangs sichtbar. Erstmals werden in diesen Bänden die Ergebnisse von mehreren Jahrhunderten internationaler Forschung zur Vorgeschichte der Globalisierung und zur Entwicklung von Gesellschaften und politischen Ordnungen auf allen Kontinenten von führenden Experten zusammenfassend dargestellt. Weltgeschichte erscheint hier nicht als Aneinanderreihung einzelner Spezialgeschichten. Die Aufmerksamkeit richtet sich auf bisher wenig beachtete Querbeziehungen und Wechselwirkungen: auf Migration von Einzelnen und Gruppen und die Gründung neuer Gesellschaften, auf die interkontinentale Ausbreitung von Technologien, Religionen oder politischen Ideen, auf globale Kommunikationsnetze, Handelsströme und Konsummuster, auf Imperialismus, Kolonialismus und großräumige Kriege.

Noémie 14 - Le Voleur de grand-mère Gilles Tibo; illustrations, Louise-Andree Laliberte Éditions Québec Amérique, QA International, De Marque, Inc., [N.p.], 2011

Jeune fille à l'imagination débordante, Noémie se retrouve toujours dans des situations rocambolesques... qu'elle a souvent contribué à créer. Mais cette fois, il y a bel et bien un intrus chez sa grand-maman Lumbago. Serait-il là pour lui subtiliser son bien le plus précieux? Avec la verve qu'on lui connaît, Gilles Tibo nous présente le quatorzième épisode d'une série dont l'intérêt auprès des jeunes ne se dément pas. Les aventures de Noémie sont connues de tous et c'est grâce aux traits de crayon expressifs de l'illustratrice Louise-Andrée Laliberté qu'elles prennent vie dans notre esprit. Pendant ce qui s'annonçait une journée plate et sans surprise, Noémie va finalement en avoir plein les bras. D'abord il y a cette nouvelle de l'évasion d'un célèbre voleur de banque qui préoccupe Noémie mais aussi et surtout celle de la disparition momentanée de sa belle grand-maman Lumbago. Celle-ci aurait été vue la dernière fois en compagnie d'un individu louche à la banque. Il n'en faut pas plus pour que Noémie se mette à échafauder les pires scénarios. Et comme si ce n'était déjà pas assez, des bruits suspects se font entendre dans l'appartement de son aïeule. Alerte! 911! Noémie et sa grand-mère en seront quittes pour une bonne frousse...

Noémie 15 - Le Grand Amour Gilles Tibo; illustrations, Louise-Andree Laliberte Éditions Québec Amérique, QA International, De Marque, Inc., [N.p.], 2011

Malgré ses sept ans et trois quarts, Noémie a toujours eu une vie fort mouvementée! Cette fois-ci cependant, ce n'est pas son imagination galopante qui lui joue des tours : quelqu'un l'aime et fait tout en son pouvoir pour le lui montrer... anonymement. Noémie, qui ne s'attendait pas du tout à la visite de Cupidon, en voit sa vie totalement bouleversée. C'est que ça peut être épeurant l'amour... C'est avec un plaisir évident que Gilles Tibo a concocté cette quinzième aventure de Noémie, une histoire à la fois rigolote et angoissante qui montre que l'amour n'est jamais simple, mais toujours fantastique lorsque partagé. Encore une fois, l'auteur a fait appel à la sensibilité de l'illustratrice Louise-Andrée Laliberté pour mettre ses mots en images. Cette journée avait pourtant débuté comme toutes les autres. Mais c'était sans compter le destin de Noémie et son horoscope de la journée : « Vous connaîtrez une journée extraordinaire! Un grand événement changera le cours de votre vie ». Malgré son imagination débordante, Noémie tente de rester calme et elle y parvient plutôt bien jusqu'à ce qu'elle trouve, dans sa grammaire, une feuille sur laquelle est dessiné un cœur. Prise entre l'insistance de son admirateur secret et ses amies qui veulent tout connaître de ses histoires galantes, Noémie manque d'air. Elle ne connaît pas encore l'amour qu'elle en a déjà assez!

Un Passé Contraignant. Double Bind Et Transculturation. (faux Titre 182) (french Edition) Michèle Bacholle-Bošković Brill, Brill Academic Publishers, [N.p.], 2021

Un passé contraignant . Double bind et transculturation de Michèle Bacholle constitue jusqu'à présent la seule étude à regrouper trois écrivains contemporains venus d'horizons très différents et formés par deux mondes contradictoires : le milieu petit-commerçant et la bourgeoisie pour Annie Ernaux, la Hongrie communiste et la Suisse francophone pour Agota Kristof, et les valeurs françaises et les traditions arabo-musulmanes pour Farida Belghoul. S'adressant aux chercheurs en littérature et culture françaises et francophones contemporaines, ainsi qu'aux psychologues, sociologues et anthropologues, Un passé contraignant présente une approche originale de l'œuvre d'Ernaux, de Kristof et de Belghoul. A la différence des travaux critiques déjà parus, ce livre tente de dépasser les binarités fondatrices de chaque écrivain et montre comment, par la mise en écriture du double bind , au moyen du double et de la schizophrénie, ces écrivains sont parvenus à échapper à une situation contraignante et à la "réorienter". L'auteur montre que, dans ces textes empreints de postmodernisme deleuzo-guattarien, les deux mondes formateurs ont été traités de façon égalitaire et que seul un tel traitement garantit le succès de la transculturation en permettant la création d'un "tiers-espace", né mais distinct des deux mondes originels, où peut s'épanouir la "tierce-identité" du sujet transculturé

Geschichte der Welt 600-1350 Geteilte Welten Iriye, Akira; Osterhammel, Jürgen; König, Daniel G.; Leube, Anna; Leube, Wolf Heinrich; Wirthensohn, Andreas; Richter, Martin; Roller, Werner; König, Daniel G.; Beekman, Christopher S.; Mathiowetz, Michael D.; Borgolte, Michael; Fauvelle, François-Xavier; Wink, André; Standen, Naomi; Jennings, Justin Verlag C.H. Beck oHG, 2023

Zwischen 600 und 1350 bot die Erde noch so viel Platz, dass Individuen, Gruppen und ganze Gesellschaften isoliert voneinander existieren konnten. Australien und Ozeanien standen noch gar nicht, der amerikanische Doppelkontinent kaum wahrnehmbar mit Entwicklungen in Europa, Afrika und Asien in Verbindung. Doch wurden in dieser Periode immer mehr Menschen in Netzwerke eingebunden, die Objekte, Praktiken und Ideen über Tausende von Kilometern verbreiteten und dabei Einfluss nahmen auf Entstehung und Zerfall von Herrschaftsräumen. Sie befeuerten in dieser Epoche der Geschichte der Welt eine Dynamik, welche die Isolation einander noch fremder Gesellschaften an ein Ende brachte. Weltgeschichte ist lange Zeit als eine Geschichte des Aufstiegs und des Niedergangs einer kleinen Zahl von Hochkulturen geschrieben worden. Unter diesen Kulturen schienen Europa oder der atlantische Westen während der letzten Jahrhunderte nach den Kriterien Macht, Wohlstand und kulturelle Kreativität zu dominieren. Das neue sechsbändige Werk zur Weltgeschichte, das von einem Team von Historikerinnen und Historikern vorwiegend aus den USA und Deutschland erarbeitet wird und das gleichzeitig bei C.H.Beck und Harvard University Press erscheint, verabschiedet sich von diesen Traditionen. Es leugnet die Errungenschaften des Westens nicht, stellt sie aber in den größeren Zusammenhang gleichzeitiger Entwicklungen in anderen Teilen der Welt. Dadurch wird das allmähliche, dabei aber krisenhafte Entstehen des heutigen dicht integrierten und pluralistischen Weltzusammenhangs sichtbar. Erstmals werden in diesen Bänden die Ergebnisse von mehreren Jahrhunderten internationaler Forschung zur Vorgeschichte der Globalisierung und zur Entwicklung von Gesellschaften und politischen Ordnungen auf allen Kontinenten von führenden Experten zusammenfassend dargestellt. Weltgeschichte erscheint hier nicht als Aneinanderreihung einzelner Spezialgeschichten. Die Aufmerksamkeit richtet sich auf bisher wenig beachtete Querbez

Le Désir à l'oeuvre : André Gide à Cambridge 1918, 1998 Naomi Segal Brill Academic Publishers : Brill, Brill Academic Publishers, [Place of publication not identified], 2021

Pendant l'été 1918, André Gide passa trois mois à Cambridge en compagnie de son jeune amant Marc Allégret. Ce séjour fut l'occasion de sa rencontre avec maints intellectuels anglais mais aussi la cause de la grande crise de son mariage, qui conduisit sa femme Madeleine à brûler toutes les lettres qu'il lui avait écrites depuis leur jeunesse. La complexité du désir chez Gide, son attitude envers les femmes et le féminin et envers la pédérastie et la pédagogie, son besoin inlassable des départs et des retours, l'exploitation du vécu dans ses oeuvres romanesques et la création de soi dans ses écrits non-fictionnels - voilà quelques-unes des matières qui sont développées dans ce livre.
