Abstract

In Stambeli, Richard C. Jankowsky presents a vivid ethnographic account of the healing trance music created by the descendants of sub-Saharan slaves brought to Tunisia during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Stambeli music calls upon an elaborate pantheon of sub-Saharan spirits and North African Muslim saints to heal humans through ritualized trance. Based on nearly two years of participation in the musical, ritual, and social worlds of stambeli musicians, Jankowsky’s study explores the way the music evokes the cross-cultural, migratory past of its originators and their encounters with the Arab-Islamic world in which they found themselves. Stambeli, Jankowsky avers, is thoroughly marked by a sense of otherness—the healing spirits, the founding musicians, and the instruments mostly come from outside Tunisia—which creates a unique space for profoundly meaningful interactions between sub-Saharan and North African people, beliefs, histories, and aesthetics. Part ethnography, part history of the complex relationship between Tunisia’s Arab and sub-Saharan populations, Stambeli will be welcomed by scholars and students of ethnomusicology, anthropology, African studies, and religion.

Abstract

"Un ouvrage monumental sur les avant-gardes dans les arts et la littérature." Maurice Nadeau Rejetant la tradition esthétique et exaltant le monde moderne, les avant-gardes du XXe siècle ont regroupé tous les courants fondateurs de l'histoire de l'art contemporain et certains de ses plus grands artistes: l'expressionnisme, le cubisme, le futurisme, l'imaginisme russe.... Mêlant les genres: littérature, musique et arts plastiques, Serge Fauchereau étudie les influences et les affinités qui alimentent les différents courants, et revient sur des mouvements rarement abordés en histoire de l'art tels que le Vorticisme, l'Imagisme anglo-américain, le Brésil afro-indien, l'Ultraïsme... Avec un regard personnel, et en s'appuyant sur plus de 350 images en couleurs, il développe une critique érudite des avant-gardes du XXe siècle.
