  • Contemporary China: a Book List
    PRINCETON UNIVERSITY: Woodrow Wilson School, Politics Department, East Asian Studies Program CONTEMPORARY CHINA: A BOOK LIST by Lubna Malik and Lynn White Winter 2007-2008 Edition This list is available on the web at: http://www.princeton.edu/~lynn/chinabib.pdf which can be viewed and printed with an Adobe Acrobat Reader. Variation of font sizes may cause pagination to differ slightly in the web and paper editions. No list of books can be totally up-to-date. Please surf to find further items. Also consult http://www.princeton.edu/~lynn/chinawebs.doc for clicable URLs. This list of items in English has several purposes: --to help advise students' course essays, junior papers, policy workshops, and senior theses about contemporary China; --to supplement the required reading lists of courses on "Chinese Development" and "Chinese Politics," for which students may find books to review in this list; --to provide graduate students with a list that may suggest books for paper topics and may slightly help their study for exams in Chinese politics; a few of the compiler's favorite books are starred on the list, but not much should be made of this because such books may be old or the subjects may not meet present interests; --to supplement a bibliography of all Asian serials in the Princeton Libraries that was compiled long ago by Frances Chen and Maureen Donovan; many of these are now available on the web,e.g., from “J-Stor”; --to suggest to book selectors in the Princeton libraries items that are suitable for acquisition; to provide a computerized list on which researchers can search for keywords of interests; and to provide a resource that many teachers at various other universities have also used.

  • ANNUAL REPORT 2019/20 Fadi Kheir Fadi LETTERS from the LEADERSHIP
    ANNUAL REPORT 2019/20 Fadi Kheir Fadi LETTERS FROM THE LEADERSHIP The New York Philharmonic’s 2019–20 season certainly saw it all. We recall the remarkable performances ranging from Berlioz to Beethoven, with special pride in the launch of Project 19 — the single largest commissioning program ever created for women composers — honoring the ratification of the 19th Amendment. Together with Lincoln Center we unveiled specific plans for the renovation and re-opening of David Geffen Hall, which will have both great acoustics and also public spaces that can welcome the community. In March came the shock of a worldwide pandemic hurtling down the tracks at us, and on the 10th we played what was to be our final concert of the season. Like all New Yorkers, we tried to come to grips with the life-changing ramifications The Philharmonic responded quickly and in one week created NY Phil Plays On, a portal to hundreds of hours of past performances, to offer joy, pleasure, solace, and comfort in the only way we could. In August we launched NY Phil Bandwagon, bringing live music back to New York. Bandwagon presented 81 concerts from Chris Lee midtown to the far reaches of every one of the five boroughs. In the wake of the Erin Baiano horrific deaths of Black men and women, and the realization that we must all participate to change society, we began the hard work of self-evaluation to create a Philharmonic that is truly equitable, diverse, and inclusive. The severe financial challenge caused by cancelling fully a third of our 2019–20 concerts resulting in the loss of $10 million is obvious.

  • German Sound Poetry from the Neo-Avant-Garde to the Digital Age
    Claudia Benthien & Wiebke Vorrath German sound poetry from the neo-avant-garde to the digital age www.soundeffects.dk SoundEffects | vol. 7 | no. 1 | 2017 issn 1904-500X Benthien & Vorrath: German sound poetry [...] SoundEffects | vol. 7 | no. 1 | 2017 Abstract This article gives insight into German-language sound poetry since the 1950s. The first sec- tion provides a brief historical introduction to the inventions of and theoretical reflections on sound poetry within the avant-garde movements of the early 20th century. The second section presents works by Ernst Jandl and Gerhard Rühm as examples of verbal poetry of the post-war neo-avant-garde. The following two sections investigate contemporary sound poetry relating to avant-garde achievements. Section three deals with two examples that may be classified as sound poetry in a broader sense: Thomas Kling’s poem broaches the issue of sound in its con- tent and vocal performance, and Albert Ostermaier’s work offers an example of verbal poetry featured with music. The fourth section presents recent sound poetry by Nora Gomringer, Elke Schipper and Jörg Piringer, which are more distinctive examples relating to avant-garde poetry genres and use recording devices experimentally. Introduction The article will investigate different periods and types of German-language sound poetry from the post-war era to the present. It is intended as an overview with several short close-readings of different sound-poetic works. To start with a work- ing definition: ‘Our understanding of sound poetry is a poetic work that renounces the word as a bearer of meaning and creates aesthetic structures (sound poems, sound texts) by methodologically adding and composing sounds (series or groups of sounds) driven by their own laws and subjective intentions of expression, and which requires an acoustic realization on behalf of the poet’ (Scholz, 1992, p.

  • 2011 Annual Report
    2011 ANNUAL REPORT A I of A from the president Daniel Radcliffe, the British actor who is better known as Harry Potter in the just-completed fi lm series, has announced that he now plans to study archaeology at university. What with all the technological “wizardry”—from GIS to laser scanning to electron spin resonancing— that has transformed archaeological fi eldwork in the last decade, Radcliffe will no doubt feel completely at home. Here at the AIA we embrace a mix of old and new as we look toward our future. Our print publications, American Journal of Archaeology and ARCHAEOLOGY magazine, remain as strong as ever, but we also are developing plans for an enhanced website and digital publications, including an online journal devoted to best practices in conservation. We recognize that such media will play an ever more dominant role in education and communication and we want to continue to reach the next generation of archaeologists. Throughout North America, our 108 societies present programs of astonishing diversity and creativity. Many owe their success to partnering with other local organizations such as universities and museums. Indeed, our partnerships with groups that share our mission— among them Global Heritage Fund, the American Philological Association, and the Registry of Professional Archaeologists—help expand our ability to save and record the material record. Our coordinated efforts with them maximizes our impact in recessionary times like the present. Yet new initiatives can still be launched even when budgets are constrained. Two of the AIA’s most exciting recent efforts, our Site Preservation Program and our Troop Lectures, refl ect the vision of leaders who sought innovative ways to answer needs in the cultural heritage fi eld.
