Sinopsis del Libro

Those that Fly without Wings is a study concentrating on the practice of music and dance within a Chilean immigrant community in Oslo. It is a qualitative and interpretive account of how music activity plays a part in the negotiation and construction of immigrant identity, as well as how it gives a voice to tensions and contradictions within an immigrant group in an urban landscape. The study concerns a community with a considerable musical activity of various Latin American genres, taking place in public as well as private arenas. By engaging with both historical and present discourses in the community, complex processes of adaptation, redefinition, and reconstruction are addressed. Based on field research and interviews as well as song lyrics and poetry, the study examines various ways in which people with an active and committed relationship to music make their practices meaningful in this particular social setting.

NADA Es Verdad, Todo Esta Permitido: El Dia Que Kurt Kobain Conocio a William Burroughs

The legend states that “Nothing is truth, everything is permitted” were the last words of Hassan-I Sabbah, the mythical leader of the ancient and obscure sector of the Murderers. Writer William Burroughs became obsessed with this phrase, claiming it was a magic password. In the beginning of the 20th century, Burroughs continued viewing Sabbah as one of his mentors. His scandalous life and radical work had become a symbol for rebels and anarchists, eventually becoming one of the most ideological precursors in the punk movement. Then, the world surrendered before Nirvana, considering them...

Musicology and Sister Disciplines

Drawing on the work of leading experts from around the globe, Musicology and Sister Disciplines provides the definitive, authoritative statement on the scope of musicology today and its relationship to other fields of academic endeavour, including philosophy and aesthetics, literary studies, art history, mathematics, computer science, historiography, and sociology. These groundbreaking papers represent the outcome of a major musicological conference in 1997, and include contributions from the philosopher Bernard Williams and world-famous mathematician Roger Penrose.

Canciones de lejos

Chile y México son dos naciones separadas por hemisferios y miles de kilómetros de distancia, sin embargo, se encuentran enlazadas por un cúmulo de experiencias, manifestaciones y expresiones a lo largo de más de dos siglos, y es en la música donde este vínculo se materializa. Esta obra revela algunas de las claves de esta alianza fraterna entre la nación del norte y la del sur: del bolero al rock, de la canción romántica a la vanguardia y de la ranchera al pop. Nombres insignes y diversos como Sonia la Única, Café Tacvba, Pedro Infante o Mon Laferte (por mencionar algunos) son...

Salsipuedes

"La vida me ha regalado grandes momentos con muchos de los músicos más importantes de nuestro rock", dice el trompetista conocido como Gillespi. Varios de esos encuentros memorables fueron parte de sus programas de radio, otros se desarrollaron en las casas de los entrevistados, "tomando mate o vino, yendo y viniendo, con terceras personas ahí conversando. Naturalmente". Salsipuedes (Historias de rock argentino) reúne una selección envidiable de esta serie de conversaciones con Luis Alberto Spinetta, Charly García, Fito Páez, Gustavo Cerati, Roberto Pettinato, David Lebón y Litto...
