The Muse as Eros Music Erotic Fantasy and Male Creativity in the Romantic and Modern Imagination

The Muse as Eros Music Erotic Fantasy and Male Creativity in the Romantic and Modern Imagination

The Muse has long been figured as a divine or erotically alluring consort to the virile male artist who may inspire him or lead him to the edge of madness. This book explores the changing cultural expressions of the relationship between the male artist with a beloved imagined or desired Muse to offer new and penetrating perspectives on musical representations and transformations of creative masculine subjectivity and important aspects of the shift from the styles and aesthetics of Romantic Idealism to Modernist Anxiety in music of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Each of the chapters begins with explorations into male artists' relationships with their Muse and moves to analysis and interpretation which uncovers cultural constructions of masculine artistic inspiration and production and their association with creatively inspiring and erotically charged relationships with a Muse. New insights are offered into the musical meaning and cultural significance of selected works by Rossini Beethoven Chopin Liszt Schumann Wagner Sibelius Mahler Bart³k Scriabin Szymanowski Debussy Berg Poulenc and Weill. | The Muse as Eros Music Erotic Fantasy and Male Creativity in the Romantic and Modern Imagination

Street Fights in Copenhagen Bicycle and Car Politics in a Green Mobility City

Street Fights in Copenhagen Bicycle and Car Politics in a Green Mobility City

With 29 percent of all trips made by bicycle Copenhagen is considered a model of green transport. This book considers the underlying political conditions that enabled cycling to appeal to such a wide range of citizens in Copenhagen and asks how this can be replicated elsewhere. Despite Copenhagen’s global reputation its success has been a result of a long political struggle and is far from completely secure. Car use in Denmark is increasing including in Copenhagen's suburbs and new developments in Copenhagen include more parking for cars. There is a political tension in Copenhagen over the spaces for cycling the car and public transit. In considering examples of backlashes and conflicts over street space in Copenhagen this book argues that the kinds of debates happening in Copenhagen are very similar to the debates regularly occurring in cities throughout the world. This makes Copenhagen more not less comparable to many cities around the world including cities in the United States. This book will appeal to upper-level undergraduates and graduates in urban geography city planning transportation environmental studies as well as transportation advocates urban policy-makers and anyone concerned about climate change and looking to identify paths forward in their own cities and localities. | Street Fights in Copenhagen Bicycle and Car Politics in a Green Mobility City

The Making of Place and People in the Danish Metropolis A Sociohistory of Copenhagen North West

The Making of Place and People in the Danish Metropolis A Sociohistory of Copenhagen North West

This book investigates the sociohistorical making of place and people in Copenhagen from around 1900 to the present day. Drawing inspiration from Pierre Bourdieu’s sociology of social space and symbolic power and from Loïc Wacquant’s hypothesis of advanced marginality and territorial stigmatisation the book explores the genesis and development of the notorious neighbourhood of Copenhagen North West. As an extraordinary place the North West provides an illustrative case of Danish welfare and urban history that questions the epitome on inclusive Copenhagen. Through detailed empirical analysis the book spotlights three angles and entanglements of the social history of this area of Copenhagen: the production of socio-spatial constructions and authoritative categorisations of the neighbourhood especially by the state and the media; the local social pedagogical interventions and symbolic boundary drawings by welfare agencies in the neighbourhood; and the residents’ subjective experiences of place social divisions and (dis)honour. In this way The Making of Place and People in the Danish Metropolis analyses how social symbolical and spatial structures dynamically intertwine and contribute to the fashioning of divisions of inequality and marginality in the city over the course of some 125 years. It will appeal to scholars of sociology urban studies and urban history with interests in social welfare. | The Making of Place and People in the Danish Metropolis A Sociohistory of Copenhagen North West

After Life Recent Philosophy and Death

After Life Recent Philosophy and Death

Dreams and fantasies of immorality date back to the first human being who was expelled from the Garden of Eden and fell into time as Augustine recounts. Falling into time into mortality living with the consciousness of death and the decline of the body bear a terrifying—and yet for some pacifying—burden that comes with the weight of being human. Today with the advancement of technology accompanied by the emergence of trends such as posthumanism and transhumanism the idea of overcoming death is presented as no longer a mere fantasy but a legitimate discursive stance. While death is often seen as the Muse of philosophy what would it mean (philosophically and psychically) to live in a world where death is no longer necessary? After Life: Recent Philosophy and Death is a collection of 11 essays addressing the place of death and its denial from a philosophical psychoanalytic and literary perspectives. This collection offers contemporary and fresh insights on these timely questions. It was originally published as a special issue of Angelaki. | After Life Recent Philosophy and Death

Grey Funnel Lines Traditional Song & Verse of the Royal Navy 1900-1970

Grey Funnel Lines Traditional Song & Verse of the Royal Navy 1900-1970

Originally published in 1987. In this book we find songs reflecting every aspect of life in the twentieth-century Royal Navy both upper and lower deck: war ship’s routine aviation submarines the antics of dockyard personnel not to mention the matelot’s shore-going adventures both amorous and bibulous. The compiler was well-known as a folk-singer though he began his career in the Royal Navy. Based on his personal collection of Navy songs this book proves that the sailor’s muse did not desert him with the passing of the sailing ship. It also dispels the notion that the modern Jack Tar when he produces any songs at all confines himself to the pornographic. With the songs Cyril Tawney interweaves a commentary on the Royal Navy setting providing a backdrop to the sailor’s own words. This book is of enduring appeal to all who have served as well as to students of twentieth-century oral tradition. | Grey Funnel Lines Traditional Song & Verse of the Royal Navy 1900-1970

Failed Methods and Ideology in Canonical Interpretation of Biblical Texts Changing Perspectives 9

Failed Methods and Ideology in Canonical Interpretation of Biblical Texts Changing Perspectives 9

This volume by the late Bernd J. Diebner presents an anthology of studies previously published only in German from 1971 to 2020 on a wide range of topics in biblical studies. The 18 essays in this collection offer profound insight into the works of German scholarship which have strongly influenced biblical studies and related research in the 20th century. Being an important but lesser recognized ‘member’ of the Copenhagen school Diebner voiced serious criticism of contemporary biblical scholarship which is discussed in the first seven chapters. The remaining chapters offer challenging new perspectives on well-known themes narratives and compositions related to history ideology and archaeology on the one hand and text and canon on the other as alternatives to traditional historical–critical approaches. Now published in English for the first time this volume makes these essays available to Anglophone students and scholars of biblical and ancient Near Eastern studies. | Failed Methods and Ideology in Canonical Interpretation of Biblical Texts Changing Perspectives 9

Governance Networks for Sustainable Cities Connecting Theory and Practice in Europe

Governance Networks for Sustainable Cities Connecting Theory and Practice in Europe

This book explores the effectiveness of governance networks on the design and implementation of sustainability strategies. European cities are actively developing sustainability strategies to address the impact of climate change. One recent approach many cities have taken is the creation of ‘governance networks’: groups of public private and third sector organisations which collaborate to support urban sustainability efforts. Drawing on two case studies in Glasgow and Copenhagen this book explores the concept of governance networks in theory and practice revealing how stakeholder collaboration leadership and innovation within these networks can help or hinder the process. It also highlights the many benefits of these networks including increased participation in the decision-making process increased levels of resources and expertise on sustainability issues as well as stakeholder buy-in for sustainability policies. This book provides recommendations for improving the efficiency of governance networks and will be of interest to academics and practitioners working in the areas of urban governance and sustainability. | Governance Networks for Sustainable Cities Connecting Theory and Practice in Europe

This book examines the art of Cobra a network of poets and artists from Copenhagen Brussels and Amsterdam (1948–1951). Although the name stood for the organizers’ home cities the Cobra artists hailed from countries in Europe Africa and the United States. This book investigates how a group of struggling young artists attempted to reinvent the international avant-garde after the devastation of the Second World War to create artistic experiments capable of facing the challenges of postwar society. It explores how Cobra’s experimental often collective art works and publications relate to broader debates in Europe about the use of images to commemorate violent events the possibility of free expression in an art world constrained by Cold War politics the breakdown of primitivism in an era of colonial independence movements and the importance of spontaneity in a society increasingly dominated by the mass media. This book will be of interest to scholars in art history 20th-century modern art avant-garde arts and European history. | The Cobra Movement in Postwar Europe Reanimating Art

The New Tenement Residences in the Inner City Since 1970

The New Tenement Residences in the Inner City Since 1970

This book examines new tenements—dense medium-rise multi-storey residences that have been the backbone of European inner-city regeneration since the 1970s and came with a new positive view on urban living. Focusing principally on Berlin Copenhagen Glasgow Rotterdam and Vienna it relates architectural design to an evolving intellectual framework that mixed anti-modernist criticism with nostalgic images and strategic goals and absorbed ideas about the city as a generator of creativity locale of democratic debate and object of personal identification. This book analyses new tenements in the context of the post-functionalist city and its mixed-use neighbourhoods redeveloped industrial sites and regenerated waterfronts. It demonstrates that these buildings are both generators and outcome of an urban environment characterised by information exchange rather than industrial production individual expression rather than mass culture visible history rather than comprehensive renewal and conspicuous difference rather than egalitarianism. It also shows that new tenements evolved under a welfare state that all over Europe has come under pressure but still to a certain degree balances and controls heterogeneity and economic disparities. | The New Tenement Residences in the Inner City Since 1970

Real Recognition What Literary Texts Reveal about Social Validation and the Politics of Identity

Real Recognition What Literary Texts Reveal about Social Validation and the Politics of Identity

Real Recognition investigates the complexities of literary and social recognition with the aim of putting a fresh cross-disciplinary spin on reader identification and social acknowledgment. Engaging with contemporary Danish and Anglophone works on racialization disability and gender Marie-Elisabeth Lei Pihl argues in favor of a close relation between aesthetic appeals to recognition and the political dimensions of literary texts. Moreover she proposes a framework bent on experience and relations as opposed to identity and status for articulating new fruitful understandings of how literary texts call for aesthetic and social recognition. Based on this she argues that literary texts can make readers get what social validation is about – and thereby help us redefine a key concept in the social sciences. Marie-Elisabeth Lei Pihl earned her PhD in literature and sociology from the University of Southern Denmark in 2020. Currently she works as a postdoctoral researcher within narrative medicine and literature-based social interventions at the University of Southern Denmark in collaboration with the National Institute of Public Health in Copenhagen.
