Folktales of Joha, Jewish Trickster
Author: Matilda Kon-Sarano
Publisher: Jewish Publication Society
ISBN: 0827610149
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 297
Book Description
"Joha has Janus's double face: On the one hand, he is innocent and stupid; on the other, a trickster. He is a cheater and is cheated. He sets traps for others and falls into traps himself; he is simpleton and liar, victimizer and victim. But as a literary figure he never dies. The nearly 300 stories in this lovely volume are from Sephardic oral literature and ethnic culture. They were told to Matilda Kon-Sarano in their original language, Judeo-Spanish (Ladino), and documented over 21 years. From 17 countries, including the United States, they come together in this first-ever collection of Joha stories to appear in English. Known in some places as Ladino, Judeo-Spanish is a living remnant of the Spanish spoken by the Spanish Jews at the end of the 15th century. Matilda Kon-Sarano, born to a Sephardic family, has devoted her life to the conservation and revitalization of this language, culture, and heritage. Joha, according to Ladino tradition, is a popular folklore character, one who is conniving yet also beguiling. He plays many roles: He makes us laugh; liberates us from taboos; makes it possible to tell the whole, sometimes painful, truth in a humorous way; and helps us triumph over our enemies through laughter. These stories have entertained generations of Sephardic children and adults and will delight readers of any age."

Streaming Music
Author: Sofia Johansson
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351801988
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 292
Book Description
Streaming Music examines how the Internet has become integrated in contemporary music use, by focusing on streaming as a practice and a technology for music consumption. The backdrop to this enquiry is the digitization of society and culture, where the music industry has undergone profound disruptions, and where music streaming has altered listening modes and meanings of music in everyday life. The objective of Streaming Music is to shed light on what these transformations mean for listeners, by looking at their adaptation in specific cultural contexts, but also by considering how online music platforms and streaming services guide music listeners in specific ways. Drawing on case studies from Moscow and Stockholm, and providing analysis of Spotify, VK and YouTube as popular but distinct sites for music, Streaming Music discusses, through a qualitative, cross-cultural, study, questions around music and value, music sharing, modes of engaging with music, and the way that contemporary music listening is increasingly part of mobile, automated and computational processes. Offering a nuanced perspective on these issues, it adds to research about music and digital media, shedding new light on music cultures as they appear today. As such, this volume will appeal to scholars of media, sociology and music with interests in digital technologies.

Book Description
This English edition support translated by many friends iconpainter, or simply friends of mine the whole series of 40 movies,. We decided for practical reason to put them all on-line freeware. They can be found at the playlist "The sign of Jonah", at my youtube channel "gianluca busi". The Copy from G. Gashev Angel, presented in the second part step by step through images, should be followed on youtube too. You can find the 10 movies in the playlist called: "How to paint an Angel". I hope to help those of various levels who are beginning the writing of icons. I have tested it for a long time and it seems to be an easy, consistent and effective, and, above all, a truly usable method. By simply looking through the table of contents it might seem that this text is actually made up of three ill-assorted books. However, after the experience of many years of intense labor in this particular field, I conceived of this book in this way in order to gather all those for whom it is intended.For many reasons, otherwise this English revised edition, is completely changed. This new book wish to face worldwide market, so I thought the two first parts should be not published: conceived for the little Italian contest these many pages should be not very interesting for the new task.This new revised book is divided in two parts: the first start from the old 3rd italian book part; the second it's brand new and I added here some works is keep in my laboratory to help students at work. They follow the ancient lesson of Podlinniki, where a Master set draw, and light system offering some very helpful instruments for beginners iconographers. I really hope these little secrets I kept in my laboratory for years should be helpful for my readers.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0rKu9oHztk
