English | ISBN: 3031613910 | 2024 | 157 pages | EPUB | 37 MB
This book presents a scientific study covering all issues related to the development and assessment of the functional properties of superhard grinding wheels with a metal bond. Abrasive grinding, especially with superhard grinding wheels, is still the basic method for efficient and accurate shaping of workpieces, especially from materials with high hardness and durability. Meeting the high requirements placed on grinding processes, with regard to obtaining high dimensional-shape accuracy and the desired quality of the surface layer as well as repeatability of grinding results, requires the use of rational methods for shaping the cutting surface of grinding wheels (CSGW) in dressing processes. Individual chapters of the monograph include

English | ISBN: 019884879X | 2020 | 352 pages | PDF | 8 MB
Typographies of Performance in Early Modern England is the first book-length study of early modern English playbook typography. It tells a new history of drama from the period by considering the page designs of plays by Shakespeare and others printed between the end of the fifteenth century and the beginning of the eighteenth century. It argues that typography, broadly conceived, was used creatively by printers, ✅Publishers, playwrights, and other agents of the book trade to make the effects of theatricality-from the most basic (textually articulating a change in speaker) to the more complex (registering the kinesis of bodies on stage)-intelligible on the page.
Free DownloadTikTok – Memefication und Performance: Interdisziplinäre Zugänge
Deutsch | 2025 | ISBN: 366270711X | 305 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 33 MB
Gegenstand des interdisziplinären Open-Access-Bandes ist die Videoplattform TikTok, die als eines der meistgenutzten Sozialen Netzwerke große gesellschaftliche Relevanz entfalten konnte und insbesondere in (außer-)schulischen Bildungsbereichen eine zunehmend wichtige Rolle spielt. Nach anfänglichem Alarmismus einerseits und Marginalisierung als reines Spaßmedium andererseits wird TikTok insbesondere in internationalen Forschungskontexten längst als kulturwissenschaftlicher Gegenstand ernst genommen. Die auf TikTok zu beobachtenden kommunikativen Praktiken und Genres, in denen aktuelle Ereignisse und Diskurse in plattformtypischer Weise verhandelt und performativ in Szene gesetzt werden, führen stärker noch als andere Soziale Medien die Zeichenmodalitäten Bild, Ton und Sprache zusammen und eröffnen dadurch neue Optionen der Vermittlung, der diskursiven Aneignung und der sozialen Repräsentation. Die grundlegenden Affordanzen der Plattform, insbesondere die Möglichkeit, zu bestehenden Sounds neue Videos zu produzieren, begünstigen dabei einen stark von Intertextualität, Intermedialität und Imitation geprägten Modus von Inszenierung und Performance, der im Anschluss an neuere Forschungen zu digitalen (Bild-)Praktiken als Memefication bezeichnet werden kann.

The essays in New Mansions for Music: Performance, Pedagogy and Criticism look at one of the most ancient and rigorous classical musical traditions of India, the Karnatik music system, and the kind of changes it underwent once it was relocated from traditional spaces of temples and salons to the public domain. Nineteenth-century Madras led the way in the transformation that Karnatik music underwent as it encountered the forces of modernization and standardization. This study also contributes to our understanding of the experience of modernity in India through the prism of music. The role of Madras city as patron and custodian of the performing arts, especially classical music offers an invaluable perspective on the larger processes of modernization in India. As the title suggests, the areas of classical music, which were most influenced by these developments were pedagogy or modes of musical transmission, performance conventions and criticism or music appreciation. Once the urban elite demanded the widening of the teaching of classical music, traditional modes of music instruction underwent a major change involving a breakdown of the gurushishya parampara or the tradition wherein the teacher imparted knowledge to a chosen few. Caste and kinship were important determining factors for the selection of these shishyas or students, but in modern institutions like the universities these boundaries had to be demolished. Simultaneously, the public staging of music brought the performer into a new relationship with his audience, especially as the art form became subject to validation and criticism by the newly emerging music critic. In an immensely readable book peppered with anecdotes and conversations with leading musicians and critics of the day, as well as humorous visual representations, part caricature, part satirical, the author describes a rapidly changing society and its new look in early twentieth century Madras.
