Abstract

On March 15, 1865, three weeks before the end of the Civil War, twenty-year-old M. Jerome Clarke was hanged as a Confederate guerrilla in Louisville, Kentucky, as a crowd of thousands looked on. In the official charges against him, Clarke's description included the alias ""Sue Mundy."" By the time of his execution, Sue Mundy had earned a reputation as the region's most dangerous and enigmatic female outlaw. Sue Mundy is the story of Jerome Clarke, a quiet orphan boy who follows a near relative into the ranks of the Confederate infantry. Following his capture by Union forces and his subseque

Abstract

A founding father of the modern American musical, Jerome Kern (1885-1945) was the composer of legions of popular songs, including such standards as "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" and "Ol' Man River." His 1927 Show Boat with Oscar Hammerstein II helped to set a new standard for musical theater. This book is the first to provide a critical overview of Kern's musical accomplishments throughout his career. Stephen Banfield ranges from Broadway, to Hollywood, and to London's West End, drawing on unpublished manuscripts and scores to assess the composer's extraordinary oeuvre. Kern's life, personality, and working methods are given due attention, as is the development of his work from the early musical comedies through the collaborations with Hammerstein and P. G. Wodehouse up to the later film scores. Banfield focuses especially on the musical and lyrical structures of Kern's compositions, illuminating beloved works and shedding light on compositions often overlooked.

Abstract

In the West, monastic ideals and scholastic pursuits are complementary; monks are popularly imagined copying classics, preserving learning through the Middle Ages, and establishing the first universities. But this dual identity is not without its contradictions. While monasticism emphasizes the virtues of poverty, chastity, and humility, the scholar, by contrast, requires expensive infrastructure-a library, a workplace, and the means of disseminating his work. In The Monk and the Book, Megan Hale Williams argues that Saint Jerome was the first to represent biblical study as a mode of asceticism appropriate for an inhabitant of a Christian monastery, thus pioneering the enduring linkage of monastic identities and institutions with scholarship. Revisiting Jerome with the analytical tools of recent cultural history-including the work of Bourdieu, Foucault, and Roger Chartier-Williams proposes new interpretations that remove obstacles to understanding the life and legacy of the saint. Examining issues such as the construction of Jerome's literary persona, the form and contents of his library, and the intellectual framework of his commentaries, Williams shows that Jerome's textual and exegetical work on the Hebrew scriptures helped to construct a new culture of learning. This fusion of the identities of scholar and monk, Williams shows, continues to reverberate in the culture of the modern university. "[Williams] has written a fascinating study, which provides a series of striking insights into the career of one of the most colorful and influential figures in Christian antiquity. Jerome's Latin Bible would become the foundational text for the intellectual development of the West, providing words for the deepest aspirations and most intensely held convictions of an entire civilization. Williams's book does much to illumine the circumstances in which that fundamental text was produced, and reminds us that great ideas, like great people, have particular origins, and their own complex settings."-Eamon Duffy, New York Review of Books

Abstract

The only scholarly book in English dedicated to recent European contemporary dance, 'Exhausting Dance: Performance and the Politics of Movement' examines the work of key contemporary choreographers who have transformed the dance scene since the early 1990s in Europe and the US. Through their vivid and explicit dialogue with performance art, visual arts and critical theory from the past thirty years, this new generation of choreographers challenge our understanding of dance by exhausting the concept of movement. Their work demands to be read as performed extensions of the radical politics implied in performance art, in post-structuralist and critical theory, in post-colonial theory, and in critical race studies. In this far-ranging and exceptional study, Andre Lepecki brilliantly analyzes the work of the choreographers: * Jerome Bel (France) * Juan Dominguez (Spain) * Trisha Brown (US) * La Ribot (Spain) * Xavier Le Roy (France-Germany) * Vera Mantero (Portugal) and visual and performance artists: * Bruce Nauman (US) * William Pope.L (US). This book offers a significant and radical revision of the way we think about dance, arguing for the necessity of a renewed engagement between dance studies and experimental artistic and philosophical practices.

Abstract

La dynastie ministérielle des Pontchartrain a battu tous les records de longévité politique sous l’Ancien Régime, du règne de Henri IV à celui de Louis XVI. Et, le temps travaillant pour elle, cette dynastie put, au fil des générations, se doter d’un puissant réseau de parentèle et de clientèle qui lui-même apparaît sans égal. Ainsi voit-on au xviiie siècle, dès la régence de Philippe d’Orléans, puis sous le long règne de Louis XV, s’infiltrer dans les postes ministériels nombre de parents et alliés des Pontchartrain. Et cette poussée se manifestera encore sous Louis XVI grâce à la présence au pouvoir du vieux Maurepas, le dernier des Pontchartrain, mort sans postérité en 1781. Cette réussite collective familiale appelle des explications sur le plan socio-administratif en raison de son ampleur, les cousins éloignés s’y trouvant eux-mêmes englobés. Le propos ici n’étant pas de passer en revue la lignée des Pontchartrain, un par un, au point de s’égarer dans une succession de biographies, les deux ministres Pontchartrain de Louis XIV (le chancelier Louis et son fils Jérôme, un type quasi-parfait du secrétaire d’État « louisquatorzien »), dont le rôle a été trop longtemps négligé, ont été placés en position centrale. Trop souvent, l’usage sévit encore, dans les biographies de ministres de l’Ancien Régime, de se limiter à un bref rappel de leurs origines avant de s’étendre sur leurs « faits et gestes ». C’est oublier que les xviie et xviiie siècles forment l’âge d’or des systèmes de réseaux de parentèle et de clientèle. Le souci primordial de cet ouvrage a donc été d’immerger la biographie des deux ministres dans les profondeurs de leur réseau. Cette omniprésence du réseau a d’ailleurs permis à la parentèle Pontchartrain de s’adapter, par-delà la Révolution, au nouveau régime né du 18 Brumaire pour se retrouver confortablement installée dans la haute société impériale, comme le montre le dernier chapitre de l’ouvrage, consacré à l’extension du réseau au début du xixe…
