Fille de l'architecte Edwin Lutyens (1869-1944), elle étudie la musique en 1922 à l'École normale de musique de Paris, puis en Angleterre à partir de 1923, à titre privé avec le compositeur John Foulds et, de 1926 à 1930, au Royal College of Music de Londres (la composition et l'orgue avec Harold Darke et l'alto). Au début de sa carrière, elle s'oriente vers la musique sérielle prônée par la seconde école de Vienne, sans toutefois en devenir, de son propre aveu, une adepte "pure et dure". Elle aura en outre des activités de pédagogue et enseignera la musique en privé (parmi ses élèves, citons Malcolm Williamson). Le vaste catalogue de son œuvre comprend des compositions dans des domaines variés : pièces pour instrument seul (piano, orgue, guitare, violon, alto, etc), musique de chambre (dont treize quatuors à cordes), œuvres pour orchestre (pièces pour orchestre de chambre - notamment plusieurs "concertos de chambre" -, un concerto pour alto...), œuvres pour voix soliste(s) et/ou chorales, musiques diverses pour la scène (ballets...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ...

Non illustré. Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : Alan Moore (né le 18 novembre 1953 à Northampton) est un écrivain anglais surtout connu pour son travail de scénariste de bande dessinée (Watchmen, V for Vendetta, From Hell, etc.). Moore est célèbre pour être de ceux qui ont rendu les comics plus matures, plus littéraires. Il a également beaucoup apporté à la forme du médium, par des effets de mise en page inédits jusque lors. Ses influences sont très diverses. On trouve des auteurs comme William S. Burroughs, Thomas Pynchon, Robert Mayer et Iain Sinclair, des écrivains de science-fiction comme Michael Moorcock et d'horreur comme Clive Barker, des cinéastes comme Nicolas Roeg. En bande dessinée, l'influence de Bryan Talbot, précurseur de la bande dessinée « adulte » avec The Adventures of Luther Arkwright, a été déterminante. Il nait à Northampton dans une famille modeste. Après une scolarité difficile (il est exclu de son lycée pour avoir vendu du LSD), il monte le magazine Embryo avec des amis à l'âge de 18 ans. Il se marie en 1974 et a deux enfants. Illustrateur dans un magazine musical, Sounds, en 1979, il abandonne rapidement le dessin pour s'adonner à l'écriture. Il reprend Marvelman et crée V pour Vendetta dans les magazines Doctor Who Weekly et Warrior. V pour Vendetta connaitra un grand succès et obtiendra de nombreux prix dont celui de meilleur album étranger à Angoulême en 1990 et vaudra à Alan Moore d'être engagé en 1983 par l'éditeur DC Comics pour travailler sur la sé...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ...

Excerpt: Sir Malcolm Henry Arnold, CBE (21 October 1921 - 23 September 2006) was an English composer and symphonist. Malcolm Arnold began his career playing trumpet professionally, but by age thirty his life was devoted to composition. He was bracketed with Benjamin Britten and William Walton as one of the most sought-after composers in Britain. His natural melodic gift earned him a reputation as a composer of light music in works such as his sets of Welsh, English, Scottish, Irish and Cornish Dances, and his scores to the St Trinian's films and Hobson's Choice. Malcolm Arnold was born in Northampton, the youngest of five children from a prosperous Northampton family of shoemakers. As a rebellious teenager, he was attracted to the creative freedom of jazz. After seeing Louis Armstrong play in Bournemouth, he took up the trumpet at the age of 12 and 5 years later won a scholarship to the Royal College of Music (RCM). At the RCM he studied composition with Gordon Jacob and the trumpet with Ernest Ha...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=324150 ... Read more

Product Description
The concepts of modernity and modernism are amongst the most controversial and vigorously debated in contemporary philosophy and cultural theory. In this new, muscular, intervention Fredric Jameson—perhaps the most influential and persuasive theorist of postmodernity—explores these notions in a fresh and illuminating manner. The extraordinary revival of discussions of modernity, as well as of new theories of artistic modernism, demands attention in its own right. It seems clear that the provisional disappearance of alternatives to capitalism plays its part in the universal attempt to revive 'modernity' as a social ideal. Yet the paradoxes of the concept illustrate its legitimate history and suggest some rules for avoiding its misuse as well. In this major new interpretation of the problematic, Jameson concludes that both concepts are tainted but nonetheless yield clues as to the nature of the phenomena they purported to theorize. His judicious and vigilant probing of both terms—which can probably not be banished at this late date—helps us clarify our present political and artistic situations. ... Read more

Problematic Analysis
Frederic Jameson has established himself as one of the leading interpreters of 'Post modernism' over the years, but in this work he turns his attention to a history of the modern. By outlining the variegated meanings and understanding's of the modern, from the Cartesian Cogito, to Marx's Capital, Jameson attempts to reach a coherent and comprehensive understanding of the period itself. However, Jameson falls into web of philosophical and ideological narratives from which he cannot remove himself. Aside from some insightful criticism's of Foucault's 'Episteme,' this work is a confused and superficial work of historiography. ... Read more

Product Description
An invaluable scholarly resource and a tool for political activists.

From the Diggers seizing St. George Hill in 1649 to Hacktivists staging virtual sit-ins in the 21st century, from the retributive fantasies of Robin Hoods to those of gangsta rappers, culture has long been used as a political weapon.

This expansive and carefully crafted reader brings together many of the classic texts that help to define culture as a tool of resistance. With illuminating introductions throughout, it presents a range of theoretical and historical writings that have influenced contemporary debate, providing tools for the reader's own interventions. In these pages can be found the work of Karl Marx, Matthew Arnold, Antonio Gramsci, C.L.R. James, Bertolt Brecht, Walter Benjamin, Theodor Adorno, Virginia Woolf, Mikhail Bakhtin, Stuart Hall, Christopher Hill, Janice Radway, Eric Hobsbawm, Abbie Hoffman, Mahatma Gandhi, Dick Hebdige, Hakim Bey, Raymond Williams, Robin Kelley, Tom Frank and more than a dozen others, including a number of new activists/authors published here for the first time.

A good book on a cool topic
While I really like this book enough to give it five stars, I don't think everyone would like it so much, so I gave it four. (Faulty logic? Maybe.) Stephen Duncombe has put together an astounding cross-section of thinkers in this anthology/collection, but it ain't beach reading. Duncombe takes the approach, as he explains in his introduction, that "cultural resistance" is different from political resistance -- that all defiance doesn't have to direct itself at the political realm, even though political dissidence is an element to it, but some takes on a social or cultural aim instead. There's so much in the book that attempting to summarize it would be kind of pointless, and too long-winded. I'll end by saying: if you like writers like Camille Paglia or Noam Chomsky . . .or music like punk, you will like this book. If you don't, you probably won't.

Good going!
