  The Metamorphoses, also known as The Golden Ass, is an ancient Roman novel by Apuleius that follows the misadventures of Lucius, a curious young man who accidentally transforms himself into a donkey through forbidden magic. As he is passed from owner to owner, enduring hardship and witnessing both the absurdity and cruelty of human nature, Lucius seeks redemption and divine intervention. The story blends satire, folklore, and religious revelation, offering insight into Roman society, mystery religions, and the path to spiritual transformation. At its heart is the worship of the goddess Isis, whose grace ultimately restores Lucius to human form. Combining humor, allegory, and vivid storytelling, The Metamorphoses remains a masterpiece of classical literature and one of the earliest surviving novels in Western tradition.

  "World music" emerged as a commercial and musical category in the 1980s, but in some sense music has always been global. Through the metaphor of encounters, Music and Globalization explores the dynamics that enable or hinder cross-cultural communication through music. In the stories told by the contributors, we meet well-known players such as David Byrne, Peter Gabriel, Sting, Ry Cooder, Fela Kuti, and Gilberto Gil, but also lesser-known characters such as the Senegalese Afro-Cuban singer Laba Sosseh and Raramuri fiddle players from northwest Mexico. This collection demonstrates that careful historical and ethnographic analysis of global music can show us how globalization operates and what, if anything, we as consumers have to do with it.
