Seller's Description:
Very good in wrappers (paperback). Minor edge wear. With the unopened CD. Short gift inscription on title page. A polyphonic study of Balinese aesthetics that broadens an intercultural understanding of performance. A scholar and trained performer of Balinese vocal music and dance, ethnomusicologist Edward Herbst brings unique talents to bear in this provocative book. The lessons of his Balinese masters enable him to offer fresh insight to this culture's aesthetics and cultural elements. Appropriating John Cage's effective style of mixing theory, anecdote, context, philosophy, and humor, Herbst crafts an accessible body of work, compelling in substance and form. By merging the Balinese concept of place-time-context with Cage's concepts of structure, method, and form, [Herbst] returns to the critical issue of what scholars and intercultural artists are doing, and 'what' is their 'object' under study. Undergraduates and scholars in fields as varied as theater studies and anthropology will find this book and companion CD (in print editions) an important resource not only for its knowledgeable treatment of Balinese culture, but as an example of a more personal and engaging style of scholarly discourse. The ebook edition includes embedded audio.
