Paperback. Condición: Good. In mid-1990s South Africa, apartheid ended, Nelson Mandela was elected president, and the country?s urban black youth developed kwaito?a form of electronic music (redolent of North American house) that came to represent the post-struggle generation. In this book, Gavin Steingo examines kwaito as it has developed alongside the democratization of South Africa over the past two decades. Tracking the fall of South African hope into the disenchantment that often characterizes the outlook of its youth today?who face high unemployment, extreme inequality, and widespread crime?Steingo looks to kwaito as a powerful tool that paradoxically engages South Africa?s crucial social and political problems by, in fact, seeming to ignore them.             Politicians and cultural critics have long criticized kwaito for failing to provide any meaningful contribution to a society that desperately needs direction. As Steingo shows, however, these criticisms are built on problematic assumptions about the political function of music. Interacting with kwaito artists and fans, he shows that youth aren?t escaping their social condition through kwaito but rather using it to expand their sensory realities and generate new possibilities. Resisting the truism that ?music is always political,? Steingo elucidates a music that thrives on its radically ambiguous relationship with politics, power, and the state.…

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. A surprising study reveals a plethora of attempts to communicate with non-humans in the modern era. In Interspecies Communication, music scholar Gavin Steingo examines significant cases of attempted communication beyond the humancases in which the dualistic relationship of human to non-human is dramatically challenged. From singing whales to Sun Ra to searching for alien life, Steingo charts the many ways we have attempted to think about, and indeed to reach, beings that are very unlike ourselves. Steingo focuses on the second half of the twentieth century, when scientists developed new ways of listening to oceans and cosmic spacetwo realms previously inaccessible to the senses and to empirical investigation. As quintessential frontiers of the postwar period, the outer space of the cosmos and the inner space of oceans were conceptualized as parallel realities, laid bare by newly technologized "ears." Deeply engaging, Interspecies Communication explores our attempts to cross the border between the human and non-human, to connect with non-humans in the depths of the oceans, the far reaches of the universe, or right under our own noses. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
