Ashgate Interdisciplinary Studies in Opera

Although Gustav Holst is rarely thought of as an opera composer, his operatic works provide a gateway to the exploration of how a budding opera composer negotiated the British operatic world across his career and how his synthesis of a myriad of cultural influences in his operatic works affected his reputation and success as a composer. This interdisciplinary study provides a kaleidoscopic view of how overlapping and often contradictory cultural influences such as imperialism, religion, literature, indigenous theatre, philosophy, folk culture, nationalism, and historiography are reflected in Holst's operas and figure into his reception as a composer of operas.

Devil in a Coma

'So evocative that it almost vibrates with music from the era' The i Musician, photographer and storyteller, Chris Stein defined the sound of an era, catapulting the iconic band Blondie to #1 and selling over 20 million copies of Parallel Lines. In this no-holds-barred autobiography, Stein reveals himself - not in songwriting or photography, which he's previously been known for but in words. From a Brooklyn boyhood, a move to the East Village in the late 1970s allowed Stein to tap into the explosive creativity that defined the era. It was a time when David Bowie and the Ramones were also making music, when Andy Warhol was promoting Jean-Michel Basquiat's work, when cool was defined not by where you came from but by what you could contribute to culture. UNDER A ROCK is a plunge into that vanished era, and the moments that turned the fresh sound of punk and new wave into an artistic and commercial sensation. Stein takes us there in this revelatory, propulsive, distinctive memoir.

Elements in Music since 1945

This Element provides a critical analysis of Elliott Carter's String Quartet No. 1, highlighting the narratives surrounding the quartet's socio-cultural-political context and its impact on Carter's success in the post-1945 American music scene. The author argues quartet's narratives, rather than the quartet itself, contributed to Carter's legacy.

Branden Jacobs-Jenkins carefully retraces Hamilton's origins as the musical that brought politicians "from both sides of the aisle," from Michelle Obama calling it "the best work of art [she's] ever seen in any medium" to Hillary Clinton's quoting it at the end of her 2016 speech at the Democratic National Convention. This book squares the emergence of Hamilton as a cultural darling of the American leftist political classes with its portraits of a morally-questionable political figures in history told through the merging of two forms with notoriously radical roots. It parses how and why this Broadway musical reached the height of visibility that it has and what this communicates about the American sociopolitical climate and culture at the beginning of the 21st century - especially after one of the most discordant and alarming sociopolitical showdowns since the 19th century. And ultimately, though Hamilton is a perfectly enjoyable and impressively crafty piece of musical theater, it argues that it in many ways is not, in fact, revolutionary. Does Hamilton engage seriously with politics? Or is politics merely the backdrop for the same-old show business?

"The first academic engagement with "divas," including a discussion of their roots, evolutions, functions, and appropriations. Channelling the ideas and strategies of feminism, empowerment, intersectionality, identity politics, and more to create this key popular culture figure"--

The diva – a central figure in the landscape of contemporary popular culture: gossip-generating, scandal-courting, paparazzi-stalked. And yet the diva is at the epicentre of creative endeavours that resonate with contemporary feminist ideas, kick back against diminished social expectations, boldly call-out casual sexism and industry misogyny and, in terms of hip-hop, explores intersectional oppressions and unapologetically celebrates non-white cultural heritages. Diva beats and grooves echo across culture and politics in the West: from the borough to the White House, from arena concerts to nightclubs, from social media to social activism, from #MeToo to Black Lives Matter.

Diva: Feminism and Fierceness from Pop to Hip-Hop addresses the diva phenomenon and its origins: its identity politics and LGBTQ+ components; its creativity and interventions in areas of popular culture (music, and beyond); its saints and sinners and controversies old and new; and its oppositions to, and recuperations by, the establishment; and its shifts from third to fourth waves of feminism.
 
This co-edited collection brings together an international array of writers – from new voices to established names. The collection scopes the rise to power of the diva (looking to Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Dolly Parton, Grace Jones, and Aaliyah), then turns to contemporary diva figures and their work (with Beyoncé, Amuro Namie, Janelle Monáe, Cardi B, Megan Thee Stallion, Shakira, Jennifer Lopez, and Nicki Minaj), and concludes by considering the presence of the diva in wider cultures, in terms of gallery curation, theatre productions, and stand-up comedy.

Loco&nbsp;is the first volume of autobiography from Dez Fafara. The California-born and raised everyman is now the singer and leader of the band DevilDriver, artist manager, multiple brand owner, and motivational guru. In the period of time covered in&nbsp;Loco, though, Dez was just Bradley Fafara, a Hollywood club kid who escaped a lifetime wasted (in both senses) on the beach to become one of the 1990's most vivid rock stars. With his band Coal Chamber, Dez pioneered a whole new sound and visual, touring the world, battling innumerable obstacles and ultimately breaking free to go solo with DevilDriver, the focus of Volume Two of Fafara's two-book autobiography plan. Titled after Coal Chamber's 1997 hit,&nbsp;Loco&nbsp;describes the arc of a man who was ripped off, let down, and beaten up, but who never quit-and who ultimately achieved his own form of redemption. Includes 50+ black-and-white and full-color images.
