of innate ideas The
Britannica (EB) says this: "in
philosophy, an idea allegedly inborn in the human mind, as contrasted with
those received or compiled from experience. The doctrine that at least
certain ideas (e.g., those of God, infinity, substance) must be innate,
because no satisfactory empirical origin of them could be conceived,
flourished in the 17th century and found in
René Descartes its most prominent exponent. The theory took many forms: some held that
a newborn child has an explicit awareness of such ideas; others,
more commonly, maintained that innate ideas have some implicit form, either
as a tendency or as a dormant capacity for their
formulation, which in either case would require favourable experiential
conditions for their development."

'The Voice of Egypt : Umm Kulthum, Arabic
Song, and Egyptian Society in the Twentieth Century
(Chicago Studies in Ethnomusicology) by Virginia
Danielson
From the reviews: Umm Kulthum, the "voice of Egypt,"
was the most celebrated musical performer of the century
in the Arab world. More than twenty years after her
death, her devoted audience, drawn from all strata of
Arab society, still numbers in the millions. Thanks to
her skillful and pioneering use of mass media, her songs
still permeate the international airwaves. In the first
English-language biography of Umm Kulthum, Virginia
Danielson chronicles the life of a major musical figure
and the confluence of artistry, society, and creativity
that characterized her remarkable career.
Danielson examines the careful construction of Umm
Kulthum's phenomenal popularity and success in a society
that discouraged women from public performance. From
childhood, her mentors honed her exceptional abilities
to accord with Arab and Muslim practice, and as her
stature grew, she remained attentive to her audience and
the public reception of her work. Ultimately, she
created from local precendents and traditions her own
unique idiom and developed original song styles from
both populist and neo-classical inspirations. These were
enthusiastically received, heralded as crowning examples
of a new, yet authentically Arab-Egyptian, culture.
Danielson shows how Umm Kulthum's music and public
personality helped form popular culture and contributed
to the broader artistic, societal, and political forces
that surrounded her.
This richly descriptive account joins biography with
social theory to explore the impact of the individual
virtuoso on both music and society at large while
telling the compelling story of one of the most famous
musicians of all time.
"She is born again every morning in the heart of 120
million beings. In the East a day without Umm Kulthum
would have no color."--Omar Sharif

Let
Jasmine Rain Down : Song and Remembrance Among Syrian Jews
(Chicago Studies in Ethnomusicology) When Jews left
Aleppo, Syria, in the early twentieth century and established
communities abroad, they carried with them a repertory of
songs (pizmonim) with sacred Hebrew texts set to
melodies borrowed from the popular Middle Eastern Arab musical
tradition. Let Jasmine Rain Down tells the story of the
pizmonim as they have continued to be composed,
performed, and transformed through the present day; it is thus
an innovative ethnography of an important Judeo-Arabic musical
tradition and a probing contribution to studies of the link
between collective memory and popular culture.
Shelemay views the intersection of music, individual
remembrances, and collective memory through the
pizmonim. Reconstructing a century of pizmon
history in America based on research in New York, Mexico, and
Israel, she explains how verbal and musical memories are
embedded in individual songs and how these songs perform both
what has been remembered and what otherwise would have been
forgotten. In confronting issues of identity and meaning in a
postmodern world, Shelemay moves ethnomusicology into the
domain of memory studies

Mario Testino : Party by Mario Testino
Who is Testino? - Mario Testino was born in Lima,
Peru. During the seventies he started his career as a largely
self-taught photographer in London. Today with a client list that
includes Calvin Klein, Versace, Gucci, Vogue, and W, he is one of
the fashion industry's most successful and highly esteemed
photographers, travelling throughout the world on
assignment
One of fashion's most sought-after photographers, Mario Testino
has launched the careers of several of the current crop of
supermodels, including Kate Moss and Stella Tallent. This vivid
collection from the Stern archives includes Testino's portraits of
celebrities, parties, fashion spreads and shots of the eccentric
world behind the catwalk. Eternally youthful in both outlook and his
style, Testino is a member of a new generation of fashion
photographers who are attracted to
experimentation, to provocative subject matter and eroticism. Yet
for all the vibrant coloring of his set-ups, and his tendency toward
the rough-and-tumble, his photographs possess the cool and highly
polished style of an expert cameraman. His passion for fine art and
portraiture shines through every photograph-from his subtle and
elegant black-and white images of Diana, Princess of Wales (the last
formal shots published before her death) to his highly touted shots
of Madonna. An unwavering individual in a world that all too often
celebrates the tried and true, Mario Testino finds inspiration in
the new, the young, and the different. It is this sensibility that
keeps his pictures fresh, and his career going at a rapid pace.

models. His color-drenched fashion work is well known to readers of
magazines like Vogue. He has a particular knack for catching
famous posers off guard--Naomi Campbell looking over her shoulder as
her exceedingly low-cut dress is zipped up her back(side); Carla
Bruni, backstage at Dior, fully made-up and fully unclothed,
shielding herself from Testino's spotlight. Madonna, perhaps his
most famous celebrity muse, dancing offstage with her brother. All
of these images are vibrant and compelling. But Testino's strength
as a photographer is truly revealed when he puts his lens to less
glossy images: a man's torso, crisscrossed with sheet marks; a stark
black-and-white dual portrait of two young Muscovites; goldfish
swarming in a plant-filled tank; a crowded, bronzed South American
beach.
The hundreds of previously unpublished
photographs that make up Any Objections? are reproduced on
full pages of heavy, pearly paper, unfettered by captions (the
photos are all easily referenced at the back of the book). If you
don't think you'll be able to resist the urge to tear out the pages
to hang them on the wall, you might consider buying an extra
copy

Front Row Back Stage by
Mario Testino
-- THE GOLD
STANDARD - THE MUST GET BOOK
Amra Brooks writes; "In Front
Row/Backstage, Mario Testino's relaxed photos capture the
fantasy of the high-fashion world. They take readers to recent
fashion shows and are organized in an almost play-by-play manner. In
the book's introduction, Vogue editor Anna Wintour reminds
readers how Testino's signature style is clearly visible in his
portraits of the late Princess Diana: "Although we had seen a
million pictures of Diana, we had never seen her looking so relaxed,
accessible and modern as when Mario photographed her." This
accessible feeling is one that Testino projects onto all of his
subjects. Here Testino shows the backstage preparation for the top
designers' runway shows, the photographers preparing, the audience
being seated, the models dressing, and the show itself. He has
captured some of the most groundbreaking collections and innovative
presentations, such as Alexander McQueen's flooded runway and his
winter collection, during which snow poured down onto all of the
models. Other noted shows include Yohji Yamamoto, Givenchy, Chloe,
Christian Dior, and John Galliano. The moments Testino captures are
timeless: they seem to hold so much beauty and effortless style that
they feel current. Only a peek at the date of a show reveals that
some images are from many collections ago. The action and movement
of the shots give a whole new life to past and present visions of
our fashion gurus and icons."
"Fashion shows have
become a kind of performance art. It is a case of be there or be
square as models, clothes, music, and light make new ideas come to
life in front of one of the most discerning and critical audiences
for any art form. In his new book Front Row/Backstage acclaimed
Vogue photographer Mario Testino has captured the excitement and
drama of the international shows in Paris, London, and Milan.
Testino has conjured a collage of images from these intense, hectic,
beautiful events, contrasting the chaos and reality behind the
scenes with the moment on the catwalk when a woman is transformed
into an icon of chic. Testino invites you to share his coveted seat
in the front row to witness the fleeting moments of fashion as it
happens. Then he celebrates the hidden world behind the scenes as
the world's most beautiful women are unceremoniously hurled into
their next outfit from Lacroix, St. Laurent, Gucci, Chanel, Dior,
and Givenchy. Front Row/Backstage is a chance for us to witness
firsthand the most exclusive fashion moments through the eyes of the
world's hottest fashion photographer." |
