Rústica BC. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: Nuevo. 1. THÉÂTRES D'OMBRES\nTRADITION ET MODERNITE \nExpression ancestrale du génie créateur des peuples,\n conservatoire fabuleux de richesses culturelles transmises d'une génération à l'autre et constamment réactivées grâce à ses qualités intrinsèques de l'oralité et de l'improvisation, lieu multiple et pluri-signifiant d'une invention permanente dans les domaines du langage, de la gestuelle, de l'image, de la musique et de l'art scénique, le théâtre d'ombres fait-il, de nos jours, partie de ces uvres du patrimoine culturel universel dont il faut demander, d'urgence, l'inscription sur une liste « d'uvres en péril » ?\n Et, si tel était le cas, peut-on imaginer des plans de sauvetage à l'instar de ceux qui furent conçus pour la préservation des monuments antiques, s'agissant d'une création dont la survie - liée à la survie de l'ensemble culturel qu'elle véhicule - échappe, par définition, au volontariat des archéophiles, ou bien devrons-nous nous résigner à la fatalité de sa disparition prochaine et assister, impuissants, à son engloutissement\n définit sous les sables envahisseurs de la culture de masse contemporaine ? \nTelle semble être l'une des questions majeures, même si elle n'est pas toujours explicitement formulée, que se pose la quasi totalité des contributions réunies dans ce volume. Qu'elle soit le fruit d'une recherche scientifique menée dans les domaines de la littérature orale, de l'histoire, de la sociologie et de l'ethnologie, ou le tñemoignage de l'homme de théâtre sur ses expériences personnelles, chacune de ces contributions y apporte une réponse nuancée et doublement instructive : connaissance, par le biais du théâtre d'ombres, de traditions culturelles séculaires et, souvent, méconnues en Occident mais aussi, manière de réfléchir sur notre propre univers culturel et son devenir.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'His training has been that of an engineer, and he is a thorough businessman. He is a man of integrity with no axes to grind who assumed his duties toward the town at a personal sacrifice.'-Gertrude Robinson Smith, socialite and philanthropist, on Joseph Franz Joseph Franz was a precocious teenager when he arrived in America on October 16, 1897, determined to succeed at any undertaking.As an electrical engineer, Franz defied the most respected electrical names of the time, such as George Westinghouse, to experiment with untested methods of producing and providing electricity. After retiring from the electrical field, he dared to design and build two great cultural buildings in the Berkshires that are still used today. One provides shelter for the renowned Boston Symphony Orchestra. The other is the first theatre built specifically for dance at Jacob's Pillow, an old farm near Becket, Massachusetts that has become the first dance related institution in America to be designated as a National Historic Landmark.Through his European education, Franz learned that to brag about oneself was very unethical. Because of his modesty, few are aware of his tireless contributions and service to his community in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, and the surrounding area. Franz's children are finally able to help him bring his accomplishments to light in Joseph Franz-A Renaissance Man in the 20th Century.…
