The Covid-19 pandemic wreaked havoc on the Southern Mediterranean, but the health crisis had ambiguous effects on the underlying economic, social, and political trends of the region. It has exposed and exacerbated much of the previous sources of tension and, obscured many of them as public attention moved towards facing the public health emergency. Will the Covid-19 pandemic spur governments and civil societies to action? Or will it just serve as another smokescreen behind which to hide the region's longstanding problems?After the StormGeopoliticsbicsscMediterranean RegionSocial conditions21st centuryMediterranean RegionPolitics and government21st centuryMediterranean RegionEconomic conditions21st centuryMediterranean RegionForeign relations21st centuryGeopoliticsKortunov AndreyMagri PaoloAbdel Razek InèsBOOK9911114746603321After the Storm3021247UNINA04492oam 2200793 c 450 991108851730332120260802090127.09783839465875383946587710.1515/9783839465875(MiAaPQ)EBC7247319(Au-PeEL)EBL7247319(DE-B1597)641203(DE-B1597)9783839465875(OCoLC)1378936387(CKB)26614759500041(Perlego)3763481(transcript Verlag)9783839465875(OCoLC)1380734172(EXLCZ)992661475950004120260802d2023 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierAtmosfears: The Uncanny Climate of Contemporary EcofictionNatalie Dederichs1st ed.Bielefeldtranscript Verlag20231 online resource (289 pages)Critical Futures9783837665871 3837665879 Includes bibliographical references.Cover -- Contents -- Acknowledgements -- 1.

Natalie Dederichs draws on insights from the new materialisms about the entangled nature of planetary existence and combines them with approaches to aesthetics from fields as diverse as reader-response criticism, phenomenology, Gothic and media studies. She introduces a poetics of atmospheric re(lation)ality as a necessary component of any ecological engagement with fiction that fully embraces literary encounters with the inaccessible and elusive as expressed in uncanny atmospheric reading experiences.Besprochen in: https://yaleclimateconnections.org, 14.09.2023, Michael Svoboda MEDIENwissenschaft, 2 (2025), Marco Rognini»Keenly aware of the difficulty of making statements ›about the actual ethical impact‹ of her chosen texts, her propositions for their ›affective affordances‹ are well argued and quite refreshing in that she makes a coherent case for the intrinsic value of literature and the study of it in times of anthropogenic climate change.«Critical geographies.Dederichs, AtmosfearsEcocriticismAtmospheresLiteratureClimate ChangeEcogothicNatureAmerican StudiesBritish StudiesEcologyLiterary StudiesEcocriticismAtmospheresLiteratureClimate ChangeEcogothicNatureAmerican StudiesBritish StudiesEcologyLiterary Studies813.6Dederichs Natalie<p>Natalie Dederichs, Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn, Deutschland</p>aut0MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911088517303321Atmosfears: The Uncanny Climate of Contemporary Ecofiction4802193UNINA04512nam 2200757 a 450 991113517310332120251116145443.0978661275904897812827590461282759043978052092840405209284079781597349970159734997610.1525/9780520928404(CKB)1000000000008494(EBL)223040(OCoLC)54663323(SSID)ssj0000270677(PQKBManifestationID)11209948(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000270677(PQKBWorkID)10281640(PQKB)11184728(MiAaPQ)EBC223040(DE-B1597)521084(DE-B1597)9780520928404(Au-PeEL)EBL223040(CaPaEBR)ebr10050795(CaONFJC)MIL275904(Perlego)552184(EXLCZ)99100000000000849420010725d2002 uy 0engurcn|||||||||txtccrWhat is this thing called jazz? African American musicians as artists, critics, and activists /Eric Porter1st ed.Berkeley, Calif. University of California Pressc20021 online resource (442 p.)Music of the African diaspora ;6Description based upon print version of record.9780520218727 0520218728 9780520232969 0520232968 Includes bibliographical references (p. 337-382) and index.A marvel of paradox : jazz and African American modernity -- Dizzy atmosphere : the challenge of bebop -- Passions of a man : the poetics and politics of Charles Mingus -- Straight ahead : Abbey Lincoln and the challenge of jazz singing -- Practicing "creative music" : the black arts imperative in the jazz community -- Writing "creative music" : theorizing the art and politics of improvisation -- The majesty of the blues : Wynton Marsalis's jazz canon.Despite the plethora of writing about jazz, little attention has been paid to what musicians themselves wrote and said about their practice. An implicit division of labor has emerged where, for the most part, black artists invent and play music while white writers provide the commentary. Eric Porter overturns this tendency in his creative intellectual history of African American musicians. He foregrounds the often-ignored ideas of these artists, analyzing them in the context of meanings circulating around jazz, as well as in relationship to broader currents in African American thought. Porter examines several crucial moments in the history of jazz: the formative years of the 1920's and 1930's; the emergence of bebop; the political and experimental projects of the 1950's, 1960's and 1970's; and the debates surrounding Jazz at Lincoln Center under the direction of Wynton Marsalis. Louis Armstrong, Anthony Braxton, Marion Brown, Duke Ellington, W.C. Handy, Yusef Lateef, Abbey Lincoln, Charles Mingus, Archie Shepp, Wadada Leo Smith, Mary Lou Williams, and Reggie Workman also feature prominently in this book. The wealth of information Porter uncovers shows how these musicians have expressed themselves in print; actively shaped the institutional structures through which the music is created, distributed, and consumed, and how they aligned themselves with other artists and activists, and how they were influenced by forces of class and gender. What Is This Thing Called Jazz? challenges interpretive orthodoxies by showing how much black jazz musicians have struggled against both the racism of the dominant culture and the prescriptive definitions of racial authenticity propagated by the music's supporters, both white and black.Music of the African diaspora ;6.JazzHistory and criticismAfrican American jazz musiciansAfrican AmericansIntellectual life20th centuryJazzHistory and criticism.African American jazz musicians.African AmericansIntellectual life781.65/089/96073Porter Eric(Eric C.)707262MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911135173103321What is this thing called jazz4869854UNINA
