Staging the Savage God: The Grotesque in Performance Ralf Remshardt
 Book DescriptionIn this broadly conceived study, Ralf E. Remshardt delineates the theatre?s deep connection with the grotesque and traces the historically extensive and theoretically intensive relationship between performance and its "other," the grotesque. Staging the Savage God: The Grotesque in Performance examines the aesthetic complicity shared by the two in both art and theatre and presents a general theory of the grotesque. Performing the grotesque is both a challenge to a culture?s order and the affirmation of certain ethical principles that it recognizes as its own. Remshardt investigates the aesthetics and ideology of grotesque theatre from antiquity?in works such as The Bacchae and Thyestes?to modernity?in Ubu Roi and Hamletmachine?and opens up new critical possibilities for the analysis of both classical and avant-garde theatre. Divided into three sections, Staging the Savage God first interrogates the grotesque as primarily a visual......

Revolt of the Angels France, Anatole
 Book DescriptionThe Revolt of the Angels is the book that a UFO writer used to demonstrate that his particular brand of Ancient Astronauts were really Alien Creatures from a parallel dimension. Perhaps -- France herein makes similar points -- with tonguefirmly in cheek, of course. You'll just to decide for yourself. France won the Nobel Prize for literature back in the days when it meant something. This farce is a treat whether or not the conspiracy is farce.Download DescriptionGod, conquered, will become Satan; Satan, conquering, will become God. May the fates spare me this terrible lot; I love the Hell which formed my genius. I love the Earth where I have done some good, if it be possible to do any good in this fearful world where beings live but by rapine. Now, thanks to us, the god of old is dispossessed of his terrestrial empire, and every thinking being on this globe disdains him or knows him not....

Music and the Ineffable Vladimir Jankelevitch
 Book Description Vladimir Jankelevitch left behind a remarkable oeuvre steeped as much in philosophy as in music. His writings on moral quandaries reflect a lifelong devotion to music and performance, and, as a counterpoint, he wrote on music aesthetics and on modernist composers such as Faure, Debussy, and Ravel. Music and the Ineffable brings together these two threads, the philosophical and the musical, as an extraordinary quintessence of his thought. Jankelevitch deals with classical issues in the philosophy of music, including metaphysics and ontology. These are a point of departure for a sustained examination and dismantling of the idea of musical hermeneutics in its conventional sense. Music, Jankelevitch argues, is not a hieroglyph, not a language or sign system; nor does it express emotions, depict landscapes or cultures, or narrate. On the other hand, music cannot be imprisoned within the icy, morbid notion of......
