Outside music, Inside voicesDialogues on improvisation and the spirit of creative musicBy Garrison Fewell

A brilliant reflection on creativity and spirituality, delving into how their deeprelationship provides the spark for the explorations of many pioneers in avant-garde jazz music.

"Outside Music, Inside Voices", supported by a Faculty Fellowship grant from theBerklee College of Music, was edited by the jazz writer Ed Hazell and by EvelynRosenthal, former director of Harvard University Museum Publications. The 330-pagebook includes a foreword written by Ed Hazell; extensive notations in the footnotes ofthe author’s introduction; individual biographies of each artist and the author; 30 brilliantblack-and-white photographs of each artist, taken by Luciano Rossetti. As Herbie Hancock noted in his endorsement, “Garrison Fewell has written a brilliant reflection oncreativity and spirituality, delving into the deep relationship between these two subjectsthat spark the explorations of many pioneers in avant-garde jazz music. The level ofdetail here is so compelling that it encourages much more than just a single reading ofthis book.”

A participant himself, Schiaffini deals exhaustively with the different ways of living totalimprovisation—collectively, individually, informally, traditionally—in its variousidiomatic contexts. His work is filled with examples and careful references, lived firsthand, as well as with reflections on problems of style and content.

Mirio Cosottini dedicates his book "Playing with silence" to everyone who loves silenceand its multiple facets. In this volume, he advances a series of questions and exercisesthrough which to set off on a path of enquiry into silence, shedding light on its multipleappearances and, at the same time, on what remains constant despite varioustransformations. In the first part of this work, Cosottini proposes a series of questionsthat invite readers to confront themselves with a silence that frightens. This silence is tobe found in our bodies, enters our experience, and hides itself in the world. It can becultivated, desired and listened to. In the second part, readers are invited to "play" withsilence, turning it into a performative exercise: silence, here, is conceived as a tool foraction and the fulfilment of a direct experience of silence.

Malevolent MuseThe Life of Alma Mahler By Donald Arthur & Oliver Hilmes

The fascinating life and times of the one and only Alma Mahler

Of all the colorful figures on the twentieth-century European cultural scene, hardlyanyone has provoked more polarity than Alma Schindler Mahler Gropius Werfel (1879 -1964), mistress to a long succession of brilliant men and wife of three of the best known:composer Gustav Mahler, architect Walter Gropius and writer Franz Werfel. To heradmirers Alma was a self-sacrificing socialite who inspired many great artists. Herdetractors found her a self-aggrandizing social climber and an alcoholic, bigoted,vengeful harlot - as one contemporary put it, "a cross between a grande dame and acesspool."

So who was she really? When historian Oliver Hilmes discovered a treasure-trove ofunpublished material, much of it in Alma's own words, he used it as the basis for his firstbiography, setting the record straight while evoking the atmosphere of intellectual life inEurope and then in émigré communities on both coasts of the United States after the Nazi takeover of their home territories. First published in German in 2004, the book washailed as a rare combination of meticulously researched scholarship and entertainingwriting, making it a runaway bestseller and advancing Oliver Hilmes to his position as ahousehold name in contemporary literature.

Alma Mahler was one of the twentieth century's rare originals, worthy of herimmortalization in song. Oliver Hilmes has provided us with an even-handed yettantalizingly detailed account of her life, bringing Alma's singular story to a whole newaudience.

The Italian Method of La DrammaticaIts Legacy and ReceptionEdited by Anna Sica

The Italian method of “la drammatica” is a forgotten recital system, which hasnonetheless spawned some of the most beautiful pages of Italian theatre. Amongthe authors that perfected it were Adelaide Ristori, Giovanni Grasso, TommasoSalvini and Eleonora Duse.

The volume “The Italian Method of La Drammatica: Its Legacy and Reception” containsa long and complex investigation that seeks to identify the Italian acting code system of“la drammatica”, used by nineteenth century Italian actors such as Adelaide Ristori,Giovanni Grasso, Tommaso Salvini and Eleonora Duse. In particular, their actinginspired Stanislavskij, who reformed twentieth century stage. The declamatory code ofdrammatica was composed of symbols for notation of voice and gesture, which Italianactors marked in their prompt books. The discovery of drammatica’s code sheds newlight on nineteenth century acting. Having deciphered the phonetic symbols of the code,Anna Sica has given rise, together with a group of outstanding scholars, to aninvestigation that attempts to explore drammatica’s legacy, and its reception in Europe aswell as in Asia. At this stage, new evidence has emerged proving, for instance, that thesymbol used by drammatica actors to sign the “colorito vocale” was known to Englishactors in the second half of the nineteenth century. By noting how Adelaide Ristoripassed on her art to Irving’s actress Genevieve Ward, and how Stanislavsky, almostaflame, moulded his system from Duse’s acting, an unexplored variety in the receptionof drammatica’s legacy is revealed.

The sixteenth century was an exciting period in the history of European theatre. In theIberian Peninsula, Italy, France, Germany and England, writers and actors experimentedwith new dramatic techniques and found new publics. They prepared the way for thebetter-known dramatists of the next century but produced much work which is valuablein its own right, in Latin and in their own vernaculars. The popular theatre of the MiddleAges gave endless material for reinvention by playwrights, and the legacy of the ancientworld became a spur to creativity, in tragedy and comedy. As soon as readers andaudiences had taken in the new plays, they were changed again, taking new forms as thefirst experiments were themselves modified and reinvented. Writers constantly adaptedthe texts of plays to meet new requirements. These and other issues are explored by agroup of international experts from a comparative perspective, giving particular emphasisto one of the great European comic dramatists, the Portuguese Gil Vicente.

Tom Earle is King John II Professor of Portuguese at Oxford. Catarina Fouto is aLecturer in Portuguese at King's College London.

A Very Seductive body PoliticSilvio Berlusconi in the CinemaBy Nicoletta Marini-Maio

This book maps the multilayered narratives that the cinema has created on andaround Silvio Berlusconi as a powerful means to explore the age ofBerlusconismo.

This book maps the multilayered narratives that the cinema has created on and aroundSilvio Berlusconi as a powerful means to explore the age of Berlusconismo. Navigatingthrough the surplus of meanings assigned to the Italian political leader by the texts andpractices circulating in Italian society, this investigation privileges a horizon of analysisthat crosses both chronological and generic boundaries. Going back to the comedy Italian style sub-genre, which foreshadows the significations converged in Berlusconi before the real figure actually entered the public stage, the discussion spans from the proto-Berlusconi everyman of "La più bella serata della mia vita" (1972), directed by EttoreScola, to the decadent caricature of "La caduta dell’impero" (in pre-production), scriptedand directed by Roberta Torre. The author argues that the Berlusconi of this study is notonly the historical persona, but a pervasive semiotic category in which the history of thecountry is inscribed.

Following the recent ‘speculative turn’ in continental philosophy, the aim of this volumeis to propose a ‘counter-discourse’ of speculative approaches to art history. How couldtoday’s materialist, realist, pragmatist, vitalist or object-oriented speculations offeralternatives to the mere complementarity of philosophy of art and art history, often basedon mutual recognition and critical limitation rather than imaginative crossovers? Whatnew intermedial methodologies do they provide for art and art historical writing? Or howcan the encounter with art induce new forms of speculative philosophy? How doconcepts of time and contingency challenge typically modern engagements with art’s‘history’? Can art history experience a work of art in its novelty beyond its historicalfacticity? Does the speculative turn open up new ways of extending art into fields ofbiology and mathematics?

The Painters' PanoramaNarrative, Art, and Faith in the Moving Panorama of Pilgrim'sProgressBy Jessica Skwire Routhier, Kevin J. Avery, Leslie L. Rounds &Thomas Hardiman Jr.

The incredible story of a lost treasure rediscovered and preserved for a newgeneration

The Moving Panorama of Pilgrim's Progress is an extraordinary 8-foot by 800-footpainting that was created in 1851 and thought lost for a full century. Rediscovered in1996 and fully restored in 2012, it illustrates John Bunyan's iconic book The Pilgrim'sProgress - first published in 1678 and in print continuously since then - a heart-stoppingallegory of trial and faith in which the hero, Christian, battles giants, monsters, tricksters,and his own weaknesses to reach the Celestial City. Moving panoramas were a mid-nineteenth-century precursor to the motion picture, massive canvases that were scrolledacross a stage and accompanied by a lecturer and music. One of only a handful that survive today, the Moving Panorama of Pilgrim's Progress was one of the most popularand important moving panoramas of its day, with designs by rising luminaries of theHudson River School of American landscape painting: Frederic Edwin Church, JasperCropsey, Daniel Huntington, and others.

Scholars and fans of theater and film, panoramas, American art, religious studies,literature, and The Pilgrim's Progress itself will value this beautifully illustrated volume.
