Individuality in Late Antiquity
Author: Alexis Torrance
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317117093
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 235
Book Description
Late antiquity is increasingly recognised as a period of important cultural transformation. One of its crucial aspects is the emergence of a new awareness of human individuality. In this book an interdisciplinary and international group of scholars documents and analyses this development. Authors assess the influence of seminal thinkers, including the Gnostics, Plotinus, and Augustine, but also of cultural and religious practices such as astrology and monasticism, as well as, more generally, the role played by intellectual disciplines such as grammar and Christian theology. Broad in both theme and scope, the volume serves as a comprehensive introduction to late antique understandings of human individuality.

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
