Taylor & Francis Ltd Female Song Tradition and the Akan of Ghana
Book SynopsisNnwonkoro is a genre of women's song found among the Akan-speaking peoples of Ghana. It has become a hybrid musical form, incorporating songs and dance movements based on traditional practices alongside others reflecting Christian influence. Nnwonkoro groups perform regularly at funerals, on state occasions, for entertainment, and even in church. In common with other Akan musical traditions, nnwonkoro is transmitted orally and aurally. Based on extensive fieldwork in the Asante and Bono Ahafo regions, and featuring many transcriptions of songs, this book investigates the nature of composition in oral culture, together with issues such as the scope of the poetic imagination and the transformation processes that accompany modernization. This study illuminates the musical style of nnwonkoro in a way which, it is hoped, will facilitate future comparative study of African songs. A CD recording is included.Trade Review'Ampene is to be commended for this excellent contextual analysis of nnwonkoro (female song tradition) among the Akan of Ghana...it is written in clear prose that makes it broadly accessible. Ethnomusicology scholars in particular will find it a model of 'reflective' theory...Highly recommended.’ Choice ’It is a significant work for scholars interested in compositional processes, particularly within oral traditions.’ Journal of Folklore research ’... full of many useful analytical insights, and leaves the door open for future investigators... Much applause and accolade for Ampene's genius, musical and analytical creativity. This text will definitely inspire new and daring approaches to the study of African music.’ Research in African Literatures ’Kwasi Ampene has done ethnomusicological work of high standard. Although the bulk of the book is a finely detailed treatment of Nnwonkoro songs, Ampene nicely contextualizes the music with ample information about specific individuals and Asante society, culture and recent history... Ampene is to be commended for undertaking detailed musical discussion, which is not always present in ethnomusicological work... In this fine book Kwasi Ampene has comprehensively mediated into cosmopolitan form this important contemporary African tradition. His culturally attuned interpretation enables music scholars to use it for comparative analysis, and music lovers to appreciate it as an aesthetically rich experience.’ Journal of the American Musicological SocietyTable of ContentsContents: Introduction; The Akan song tradition of Nnwonkoro: a historical overview; Motivations for the creative process; Compositional conventions of Nnwonkoro songs; Models of form and style; The creative process and context; Contemporary issues; Appendices; CD information; Bibliography; Index.

Taylor & Francis Superheroes and Economics
Book SynopsisAt first sight, superheroes and economics seem to occupy completely different dimensions â but a clash of dimensions is a classic comic book storyline! In this first-of-its kind book, an economist and a business writer assemble an A-team of academic talent to explore the intersection of superhero mythology and economic theory in ten accessible chapters. Superheroes and Economics uncovers basic economic truths that are integral to the comic stories from some of the genres most famous names. The authors of the chapters look at ways that economic principles can add authenticity to imagined universes, and how familiar superhero stories can demonstrate concepts used by economists to forecast the behavior of markets and individuals. If Spider-Man is so smart, why isnât he rich? What are the economic implications of a tech entrepreneur like Tony Stark actually inventing Iron Man armor? What does the 80-year career of Wonder Woman tell us about the evolving role of women in the workpTable of ContentsDedication, Contributors, Preface. 1 Economic Realism in the Worlds of Alan Moore, Rob Salkowitz. 2 The High Cost of Being Batman, Clair Smith. 3 Wonder Woman: Feminist and Economic Icon, James Bryan. 4 Poor Peter Parker: Spider Sense Doesn't Apply to Making a Living, Patrick Holt. 5 From Weakling to Superhero: The Economics of Captain America, John Robinson and William C.
