A Moment's Notice by Carol J. Greenhouse Pdf

Focusing on the problem of time—the paradox of time's apparent universality and cultural relativity—Carol J. Greenhouse develops an original ethnographic account of our present moment, the much-heralded postmodern condition, which is at the same time a reflexive analysis of ethnography itself. She argues that time is about agency and accountability, and that representations of time are used by institutions of law, politics, and scholarship to selectively refashion popular ideas of agency into paradigms of institutional legitimacy. A Moment's Notice suggests that the problem of time in theory is the corollary of problems of power in practice.Greenhouse develops her theory in examinations of three moments of cultural and political crisis: the resistance of the Aztecs against Cortes, the consolidation of China's First Empire, and the recent partisan political contests over Supreme Court nominees in the United States. In each of these cases, temporal innovation is integral to political improvisation, as traditions of sovereignty confront new cultural challenges. These cases return the discussion to current issues of inequality, postmodernity, cultural pluralism, and ethnography.

MOMENTS NOTICE by Nico Vassilakis Pdf

Poetry. Art. Nico Vassilakis' MOMENTS NOTICE has taken a huge leap forward in the evolution of concrete poetry, by utilizing the myriad possibilities of digital typographic manipulation. The result is work of great beauty, full color, design, concept, and a visuality that makes his ideas and poetics vivid and endlessly intriguing. "Moments notice us at a moment's notice, lying in wait for us, in this space-time lingo-jaunt. When humans (hypothetically) fall into a black hole, the first thing their bodies undergo is 'spagghettification.' One could say when human language falls into Nico Vassilakis' clutches, it undergoes a similar process. But instead of annihilation, there is plenitude."—Maria Damon "Is it feasible for visual poetry to be positively erudite? In the words (or word) of one of the not-quite-texts here, MOMENTS NOTICE presents the argument for YES."—Ron Silliman

John Coltrane Plays "Coltrane Changes" (Songbook) by John Coltrane,Masaya Yamaguchi Pdf

(Artist Transcriptions). In the late 1950s, John Coltrane composed or arranged a series of tunes that used chord progressions based on a series of key center movements by thirds, rather than the usual fourths and fifths of standard progressions. This sound is so aurally identifiable and has received so much attention from jazz musicians that it has become known as "Coltrane's Changes." This book presents an exploration of his changes by studying 13 of his arrangements, each containing Coltrane's unique harmonic formula. It includes complete solo transcriptions with extensive performance notes for each. Titles include: Body and Soul * But Not for Me * Central Park West * Countdown * Fifth House * Giant Steps * Summertime * and more.

Off the Cuff by Anne Cooper Ready Pdf

After-dinner speeches, toasts and roasts, product announcements, job interviews, eulogies, new business pitches, media interviews, arguments...virtually everything we say every day is "off the cuff." Yet how many of us are confident when asked, as we so often are, to just "say a few words"? An estimated 99 percent of what we say is impromptu, which is defined as without preparation or advance thought. Off the Cuff offers that preparation in an easy-to-read, easy-to-reference guide for putting words together to motivate, direct, entertain, and succeed. It will help you learn both basic and advanced skills in solving communication challenges that range from apologies and meetings to introductions and eulogies. Except for those rare moments when we have given a scripted speech, we've been speaking off the cuff our whole lives. Now it's time to learn how to do it easily, effectively, and fearlessly.
