Sinopsis

Persian Arts explores the significant artistic contributions of Persia and their lasting influence on Middle Eastern culture. The book focuses on Persian literature, calligraphy, and architecture, revealing how these art forms fostered a shared cultural identity and facilitated intellectual exchange. For instance, Persian literature, with its epic poetry and mystical verse, shaped regional storytelling traditions. Similarly, Persian calligraphy became a revered art form, disseminating knowledge and culture through manuscript illumination and architectural decoration. The book contextualizes these artistic achievements within Iranian history, from the Achaemenid Empire onward, detailing the social, political, and religious factors that shaped artistic production. Persian Arts argues that Persian artistic endeavors were powerful tools for cultural cohesion. Persian architecture, known for its arches, domes, and intricate tilework, significantly impacted mosque design and public spaces across the Middle East. The book progresses by first introducing core concepts, then exploring literature, calligraphy, and architecture in separate sections, culminating in an analysis of how these elements shaped Middle Eastern culture.

Mariachi in the Twenty-First...

Donald A. Westbrook

This Element contributes to the interdisciplinary study of mariachi, especially in the United States, by focusing on two areas that have yet to receive substantive academic attention: philanthropy and museum studies. In 2011, UNESCO included mariachi music on its list of expressions of intangible cultural heritage. While it is undoubtedly true that mariachi is in many ways intangible, this downplays expressions of its rich material culture and the work of scholars to research mariachi history beyond an emphasis on musical performance. The first section considers mariachi collecting and philanthropy in the US, especially the efforts of Edward E. Marsh and Chris Strachwitz. The second section examines the first major mariachi history museum/exhibit in the US, managed by the Mariachi Scholarship Foundation and housed at Southwestern College in California. Finally, some open areas for research are proposed.

Beatles Rewind - Essential...

Steve Weber

Sixty years after four young men from Liverpool changed everything, the Beatles remain the most written-about, argued-over, and obsessively studied band in the history of popular music. So, what is there left to say?
Quite a lot, it turns out.
Beatles Rewind is a deep dive into the people, the music, and the cultural phenomenon that the Beatles became—and remain. Written by a lifelong Beatles scholar and the creator of the popular Beatles Rewind platform, this book brings together essential essays that examine each of the four Beatles as individuals, the extraordinary alchemy that happened when they played together, and the music that resulted from both.
The book opens where it has to: with the explosion. What was it about that moment—the Sullivan appearance, the screaming fans, the hair, the chord changes—that announced something genuinely new had arrived? From there, it examines each Beatle in depth. John Lennon: the leader, the visionary, and the provocateur who could be the most generous and the most cruel person in any room. Paul McCartney: the untrained genius who wrote melodies by instinct that trained composers spend careers trying to understand. George Harrison: the quiet spiritualist who took longer to emerge but left a body of solo work that rivals either of his more famous bandmates. And Ringo Starr: the steady, joyful, grateful heartbeat without whom none of it would sound quite right.
But Beatles Rewind is more than four biographies. It examines the collective alchemy that made the Beatles something greater than the sum of their extraordinary parts, traces the evolution of their music across the most compressed and radical creative arc in pop history, and asks the questions that matter today: What does this music still mean? What did we almost lose? And what comes next?
