  The Grateful Dead were one of the most successful live acts of the rock era. Performing more than 2,300 shows between 1965 and 1995, the Grateful Dead's reputation as a "live band" was—and continues to be—sustained by thousands of live concert recordings from every era of the group's long and colorful career. In Live Dead, musicologist John Brackett examines how live recordings—from the group's official releases to fan-produced tapes, bootlegs to "Betty Boards," and Dick's Picks to From the Vault—have shaped the general history and popular mythology of the Grateful Dead for more than fifty years. Drawing on a diverse array of materials and documents contained in the Grateful Dead Archive, Live Dead details how live recordings became meaningful among the band and their fans not only as sonic souvenirs of past musical performances but also as expressions of assorted ideals, including notions of "liveness," authenticity, and the power of recorded sound.

  Imagining the Method - Reception...

  Justin Owen Rawlins

  Only one performance style has dominated the lexicon of the casual moviegoer: "Method acting." The first reception-based analysis of film acting, Imagining the Method investigates how popular understandings of the so-called Method—what its author Justin Rawlins calls "methodness"—created an exclusive brand for white, male actors while associating such actors with rebellion and marginalization. Drawing on extensive archival research, the book maps the forces giving shape to methodness and policing its boundaries. 
   
   
   
  Imagining the Method traces the primordial conditions under which the Method was conceived. It explores John Garfield's tenuous relationship with methodness due to his identity. It considers the links between John Wayne's reliance on "anti-Method" stardom and Marlon Brando and James Dean's ascribed embodiment of Method features. It dissects contemporary emphases on transformation and considers the implications of methodness in the encoding of AI performers. Altogether, Justin Rawlins offers a revisionist history of the Method that shines a light on the cultural politics of methodness and the still-dominant assumptions about race, gender, and screen actors and acting that inform how we talk about performance and performers.

  Medieval Education - The Rise of...

  During the early medieval period, education in Europe was primarily shaped by the influence of the Church. With the decline of the Western Roman Empire, formal education systems deteriorated, leaving monasteries and cathedral schools as the main centers of learning. These institutions preserved classical knowledge and played a crucial role in the intellectual revival of the Middle Ages. Monastic and cathedral schools provided education for clergy members and, over time, expanded their reach to include nobles and, in some cases, commoners. 
  Monastic schools were among the earliest centers of learning, with monks serving as teachers and scribes. These schools focused on religious instruction, teaching Latin, biblical texts, and theological commentaries. The goal was to prepare future clergy members for service in the Church. Monastic scriptoria were responsible for copying and preserving important texts, ensuring the transmission of classical and Christian knowledge. While most students in monastic schools were destined for religious life, some noble families sent their sons for education in literacy and administration, as the Church held significant political influence. 
  Cathedral schools emerged as a response to the growing demand for education beyond monastic settings. They were often attached to large churches or bishoprics and provided instruction to a wider audience, including future clergymen, royal officials, and scholars. These schools offered a more structured curriculum, covering subjects such as grammar, rhetoric, and logic, which formed the foundation of medieval education. Over time, cathedral schools developed into important intellectual hubs, attracting students from various regions. The presence of prominent teachers and scholars helped establish certain cathedral schools as precursors to medieval universities.
