Ways of Voice - Vocal Striving...

Matthew Rahaim

Ways of Voice explores techniques of voice production in North India, from Bollywood to raga music to ghazal to devotional hymns and Sufi song. The voices in play here are not merely given, but achieved. Singers consciously train themselves to cultivate characteristic vocal gaits, sonorities, and poetic attunements; they adopt postures of the vocal apparatus; they build habits of listening, temporality, and social relations. The action in Ways of Voice revolves around several dozen North Indian popular, devotional, classical, and folk singers engaged in projects of vocal striving. Like most singers, they are strategically working on changing, refining, and making their own voices. The book thus highlights the ways in which singers not only "have" voice, but actively acquire, cultivate and contest particular vocal dispositions for particular kinds of listeners. In framing a "Hindustani vocal ecumene" that encompasses a diverse range of classical, popular, and spiritual-devotional musical styles and practices, it offers an expansive look at ways of voice that extend far beyond commonsense boundaries of genre and place. A rich archive of audio and video examples are provided on the online companion site, which can be found at https://www.weslpress.org/readers-companions/.

Animating the Victorians -...

Patrick C. Fleming

Many Disney films adapt works from the Victorian period, which is often called the Golden Age of children's literature. Animating the Victorians: Disney's Literary History explores Disney's adaptations of Victorian texts like Alice in Wonderland, Oliver Twist, Treasure Island, Peter Pan, and the tales of Hans Christian Andersen. Author Patrick C. Fleming traces those adaptations from initial concept to theatrical release and beyond to the sequels, consumer products, and theme park attractions that make up a Disney franchise. During the production process, which often extended over decades, Disney's writers engaged not just with the texts themselves but with the contexts in which they were written, their authors' biographies, and intervening adaptations. 
Linking the Disney Princess franchise to Victorian ideologies shows how gender and sexuality are constantly being renegotiated. Disney's animated musicals, theme parks, copyright practices, and even marketing campaigns depend on cultural assumptions, legal frameworks, and media technologies that emerged in nineteenth-century England. By applying scholarship in Victorian studies to a global company, Fleming shows how institutions mediate our understanding of the past and demonstrates the continued relevance of literary studies in a corporate media age.

Jaws - The Ultimate Trivia...

Film Trivia Metaverse

JAWS 
THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
  
FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY STEVEN SPIELBERG 
  
CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
  
ABOUT THE FILM 
Jaws (1975), directed by Steven Spielberg, is a suspenseful thriller set in the fictional seaside town of Amity Island. When a great white shark begins attacking swimmers, police chief Martin Brody, marine biologist Matt Hooper, and professional shark hunter Quint band together to capture and kill the beast. The film skillfully blends tension, horror, and adventure, focusing on the fear and chaos the shark instills in the community. Spielberg masterfully builds suspense by often keeping the shark hidden, using ominous music and minimal visuals. Jaws explores themes of fear, survival, and the unpredictable dangers lurking beneath the surface. 
  
TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
  
“For the drowning woman’s sound in post-production, Susan Backlinie stood with her head tilted back in front of a microphone. Water was poured from above into her throat to create the effect.” 
  
“Jaws (1975) opened on only 490 screens, but within seventy-eight days, it became the highest-grossing film of all time. At that time, it was still showing in fewer than 1,000 screens.” 
  
“Richard Dreyfuss initially passed on the role of Hooper, saying that while he would love to watch the film, he didn’t want to make it.”

Under Pressure - A Song by David...

Max Brzezinski

In 1981, David Bowie and Queen both happened to be in Switzerland: They met and made "Under Pressure." Recorded on a lark, the song broke the path for subsequent pop anthems. In Under Pressure, Max Brzezinski tells the classic track's story, charting the relationship between pop music, collective politics, and dominant institutions of state, corporations, and civil society. Brzezinski shows that, like all great pop anthems, "Under Pressure" harnesses collective sentiments in order to model new ways of thinking and acting. As we continue to live under the sign of the global oppressive power the song names, analyzes, and attempts to move beyond, we remain, in Bowie and Freddie Mercury's phrase, under pressure.
