Indeed, nothing comparable survives from the whole Mamluk period, which extends from 1260 until the Ottoman invasion and conquest of Egypt in 1516. But its value does not derive merely from its fortuitous isolation: it is important, rather, because of the richness of the information it provides with regard to modal and rhythmic structures, and also because SOAS musicology series.MusicEgyptCairo500-1400History and criticismMusic theoryHistory500-1400History and criticismMamelukesEarly works to 1800Electronic books.MusicHistory and criticism.Music theoryHistoryHistory and criticism.Mamelukes781Wright Owen1938-1026911MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910464713703321Music theory in Mamluk Cairo2442072UNINA05073nam 22006012 450 991082829380332120200713110815.01-78962-345-61-78138-604-81-78138-485-1(CKB)4330000000005392(SSID)ssj0001677566(PQKBManifestationID)16486823(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001677566(PQKBWorkID)15014035(PQKB)10414522(StDuBDS)EDZ0001111441(UkCbUP)CR9781789623451(Au-PeEL)EBL4789559(CaPaEBR)ebr11332308(OCoLC)911019134(MiAaPQ)EBC4789559(EXLCZ)99433000000000539220200608d2014|||| uy| 0engur|||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierCommunities in contemporary Anglophone Caribbean short stories /Lucy Evans[electronic resource]Liverpool :Liverpool University Press,2014.1 online resource (x, 230 pages) digital, PDF file(s)Postcolonialism across the disciplines ;16Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 07 Jul 2020).1-78138-118-6 Includes bibliographical references and index.1.

The first extended study of Caribbean short stories, it presents the phenomenon of interconnected stories as a significant feature of late twentieth and early twenty-first century Anglophone Caribbean literary cultures. It contends that the short story collection and cycle, literary forms regarded by genre theorists as necessarily concerned with representations of community, are particularly appropriate and enabling as a vehicle through which to conceptualise Caribbean communities. The book covers short story collections and cycles by Olive Senior, Earl Lovelace, Kwame Dawes, Alecia Mckenzie, Lawrence Scott, Mark Mcwatt, Robert Antoni and Dionne Brand. It argues that the form of interconnected stories is a crucial part of these writers' imagining of communities which may be fractured, plural and fraught with tensions, but which nevertheless hold together. The book takes an interdisciplinary approach to the study of community, bringing literary representations of community into dialogue with models of community developed in the field of Caribbean anthropology. The works analysed are set in Trinidad, Jamaica and Guyana, and in several cases the setting extends to the Caribbean diaspora in Europe and North America. Looking in turn at rural, urban, national and global communities, the book draws attention to changing conceptions of community around the turn of the millennium. * The book is the first monograph on Caribbean short stories. * It is the first book-length study to directly address the subject of community in Anglophone Caribbean literature. * The book covers the work of eight critically acclaimed Caribbean writers. * Due to the centrality of short story writing to the development of a Caribbean literary tradition, the book offers readers an accessible introduction to the broader field of Caribbean literature and culture. * With its interdisciplinary approach, the book will appeal to Caribbeanists working in social science disciplines as well as those working in literary and cultural studies.Postcolonialism across the disciplines ;16.Short stories, Caribbean (English)20th centuryHistory and criticismCaribbean literature20th centuryHistory and criticismCommunitiesShort stories, Caribbean (English)History and criticism.Caribbean literatureHistory and criticism.Communities.810.99729Evans Lucy1979-1678605UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910828293803321Communities in contemporary Anglophone Caribbean short stories4046392UNINA
