Описание: CEOL AN PH OBAIRE - MUSIC OF THE PIPERS is a collection of traditional Irish dance tunes and piping pieces notated from the playing of famous players of the Irish uilleann pipes. It includes informative notes on the music, and pictures of the two dozen pipers covered by the collection. The uilleann pipes are the iconic instrument of Ireland, and the names of the players who have become masters of it are celebrated worldwide - names like S amus Ennis and Willie Clancy; the traveller brothers Johnny and Felix Doran; and Patsy Touhey and Barney Delaney, who each achieved celebrity status in early twentieth-century America. Along with these are many other top-rank players known only to the enthusiast, but deserving of investigation by all lovers of traditional music. The music includes all manner of dance tunes, as well as several 'pieces' - items that pipers played just for listening, including the well-known "Fox Chase" which describes musically the progress of a foxhunt and the death of the fox, and the descriptive piece "Gol na mBan san r" ("The weeping of the women amid the slaughter"), which describes the aftermath of the Battle of Knockannus (1647) and which, having been recorded on cylinder from a Kerry piper in 1899 is the oldest surviving recording of Irish traditional music. The dates of the performances from which the music was notated span almost one and a half centuries, from the performances noted by Lord Rossmore from the Galway piper Paddy Conneely in the mid-nineteenth century, through the collections of the Feis Ceoil movement, to the performances recorded by piping enthusiasts in the 1970s. The music and commentary was prepared for publication by Breand n Breathnach and Pat Mitchell, both authorities in the field of Irish music, and was edited by Terry Moylan.

Описание: A cultural studies examination of the twentieth century genre of dystopian fiction in the political and scholarly context of the evolution of science fiction studies and utopian studies since the 1960s. Focuses especially on the "critical dystopias" of the 1980s and 1990s and examines their interrogation of the sociopolitical and cultural changes wrought by capitalist restructuring and neo-conservative and neo-liberal governments in the United States and Europe. In Scraps of the Untainted Sky, Tom Moylan offers a thorough investigation of the history and aesthetics of dystopia. To situate his study, he sets out thethodological paradigm that developed within the interdisciplinary fields of science fiction studies and utopian studies as they grow out of the oppositional political culture of the 1960s and 1970s (the context of that produced the project of cultural studies itself). He then presents a thorough account of the textual structure and formal operations of the dystopian text. From there, he focuses on the new science fictional dystopias that emerged in the context of the economic, political, and cultural convulsions of the 1980s and 1990s, and he examines in detail three of these new "critical dystopias:" Kim Stanley Robinson's The Gold Coast, Octavia Butler's The Parable of the Sower , and Marge Piercy's He, She, and It . Dystopian narrative is a product of the social ferment of the twentieth century. A hundred years of war, famine, disease, state terror, genocide, ecocide, and the depletion of humanity through the buying and selling of everyday life provided fertile ground for this fictive underside of the utopian imagination. From the classical works by E. M. Forster, Yevgeny Zamyatin, Aldous Huxley, George Orwell, and Margaret Atwood, through the new maps of hell in postwar science fiction, and most recently in the dystopian turn of the 1980s and 1990s, this narrative machine has produced challenging cognitive maps of the given historical situation by way of imaginary societies which are even worse than those that lie outside their authors' and readers' doors.
