Описание: Pride, covetousness, lust, envy, gluttony, anger, sloth: even the names given to what are collectively known as the seven deadly sins seem dated, and the whole concept related only to a monastic world which has long since passed. Kenneth Slack shows that the insights which led to the categorizing of the seven do, however, retain permanent validity.
Описание: Performed on an acoustic steel-string guitar with open tunings and a finger-picking technique, Hawaiian slack key guitar music emerged in the mid-nineteenth century. Though performed on a non-Hawaiian instrument, it is widely considered to be an authentic Hawaiian tradition grounded in Hawaiian aesthetics and cultural values. In Listen But Don’t Ask Question Kevin Fellezs listens to Kanaka Maoli (Native Hawaiian) and non-Hawaiian slack key guitarists in Hawai‘i, California, and Japan, attentive to the ways in which notions of Kanaka Maoli belonging and authenticity are negotiated and articulated in all three locations. In Hawai‘i, slack key guitar functions as a sign of Kanaka Maoli cultural renewal, resilience, and resistance in the face of appropriation and occupation, while in Japan it nurtures a merged Japanese-Hawaiian artistic and cultural sensibility. For diasporic Hawaiians in California, it provides a way to claim Hawaiian identity. By demonstrating how slack key guitar is a site for the articulation of Hawaiian values, Fellezs illuminates how slack key guitarists are reconfiguring notions of Hawaiian belonging, aesthetics, and politics throughout the transPacific.

Описание: In a remote farmhouse, during the worst blizzard in Ohio history, an old man falls down a flight of stairs to his death. Melody Knauff cannot accept her strong, larger-than-life grandpa slipped and fell like a feeble old man. Not when everyone in the house had a reason to want to see him at the bottom of those stairs. But did they want it enough to commit murder? The more Melody learns about her beloved grandpa's past and the secrets he hid for sixty years, the more she wonders if she knew him at all. Who was Warner Beckwith? Was he a thief and a liar who was killed to preserve his secrets, or was he the strong man of faith Melody remembered?
