Sommario/riassunto

Songs of Seoul is an ethnographic study of voice in South Korea, where the performance of Western opera, art songs, and choral music is an overwhelmingly Evangelical Christian enterprise. Drawing on fieldwork in churches, concert halls, and schools of music, Harkness argues that the European-style classical voice has become a specifically Christian emblem of South Korean prosperity. By cultivating certain qualities of voice and suppressing others, Korean Christians strive to personally embody the social transformations promised by their religion: from superstition to enlightenment; from dictatorship to democracy; from sickness to health; from poverty to wealth; from dirtiness to cleanliness; from sadness to joy; from suffering to grace. Tackling the problematic of voice in anthropology and across a number of disciplines, Songs of Seoul develops an innovative semiotic approach to



connecting the materiality of body and sound, the social life of speech and song, and the cultural voicing of perspective and personhood.

Sommario/riassunto

This book provides an in-depth analysis of the Battle of Bannockburn, a pivotal event in the Wars of Scottish Independence. The author, with a background in medieval Scottish history, examines the military strategies and political implications of the battle fought between Robert I of Scotland and Edward II of England in 1314. The text explores the broader context of the war, the motivations of the combatants, and the aftermath of the battle, highlighting its impact on Scottish independence and medieval warfare. Aimed at historians and enthusiasts of medieval military history, the work offers insights into the methodologies of historical research and the challenges of



interpreting limited historical evidence.
