Описание:
Everywhere in the world communities and nations organize themselves in relation to water. We divert water from rivers, lakes, and aquifers to our homes, workplaces, irrigation canals, and hydro-generating stations. We use it for bathing, swimming, recreation, and it functions as a symbol of purity in ritual performances. In order to facilitate and manage our relationship with water, we develop institutions, technologies, and cultural practices entirely devoted to its appropriation and distribution, and through these institutions we construct relations of class, gender, ethnicity, and nationality. Relying on first-hand ethnographic research, the contributors to this volume examine the social life of water in diverse settings and explore the impacts of commodification, urbanization, and technology on the availability and quality of water supplies. Each case study speaks to a local set of issues, but the overall perspective is global, with representation from all continents.

Описание:
Following his English language literary debut Ernst J nger - A Portrait, author Lennart Svensson concentrates his focus on another controversial character, Richard Wagner. In Richard Wagner - A Portrait Svensson offers a well-rounded biography of Richard Wagner's life and work. As a long-term admirer of Wagner's music, Svensson is also unafraid to look at the controversial aspects of the composer's life - including his relations with Friedrich Nietzsche and the influence his music would come to have in German Nationalist circles and in the work of the Italian poet d'Annunzio.
In addition to relating the personal history of Wagner in the biography, Svensson also examines the compositions themselves, such as:
The Fairies
Rienzi
The Flying Dutchman
Tannhauser
Lohengrin
Wieland the Smith
Tristan and Isolde
The Master-Singers of Nuremberg
The Ring of the Nibelung
Parsifal
Svennson's new biography on Wagner also provides an in-depth analysis of the themes that Wagner chose to work with in his compositions; forbidden love, Teutonic mythology, the Grail saga, and tragedy.
Lennart Svensson holds a BA in Indology and his previous works include Antropolis and Camouflage. Ernst J nger - A Portrait was his debut in English.

Описание: Julian Young presents Richard Wagner as an important philosopher of art and life, first as a utopian anarchist-communist and later as a Schopenhauerian pessimist. Understanding Wagner`s philosophy is crucial to understanding his operas, as it is to understanding Nietzsche, Schopenhauer, and Heidegger.
