The Musical Novel: Imitation of Musical Structure, Performance, and Reception in Contemporary Fiction By Emily Petermann
2014 | 250 Pages | ISBN: 1571135928 | PDF | 4 MB
What is a "musical novel"? This book defines the genre as musical not primarily in terms of its content, but in its form. The musical novel crosses medial boundaries, aspiring to techniques, structures, and impressions similar tothose of music. It takes music as a model for its own construction, borrowing techniques and forms that range from immediately perceptible, essential aspects of music (rhythm, timbre, the simultaneity of multiple voices) to microstructural (jazz riffs, call and response, leitmotifs) and macrostructural elements (themes and variations, symphonies, albums). The musical novel also evokes the performance context by imitating elements of spontaneity that characterize improvised jazz or audience interaction.The Musical Novel builds upon theories of intermediality and semiotics to analyze the musical structures, forms, and techniques in two groups of musical novels, which serve as case studies. The first group imitates an entire musical genre and consists of jazz novels by Toni Morrison, Albert Murray, Xam Wilson Cartiér, Stanley Crouch, Jack Fuller, Michael Ondaatje, and Christian Gailly. The secondgroup of novels, by Richard Powers, Gabriel Josipovici, Rachel Cusk, Nancy Huston, and Thomas Bernhard, imitates a single piece of music, J. S. Bach's Goldberg Variations.Emily Petermann is Assistant Professor of American Literature at the University of Konstanz.

The Meiji Unification Through the Lens of Ishikawa Prefecture By James C. Baxter
1995 | 394 Pages | ISBN: 0674564669 | PDF | 73 MB
Credit for the swift unification of Japan following the 1868 overthrow of the Tokugawa shogunate is usually given to the national leaders who instigated the coup and formed the new Meiji government. But is brilliant leadership at the top sufficient to explain how regional separatist tendencies and loyalties to the old lords were overcome in the formation of a nationally unified state? On the contrary, argues James C. Baxter. Though plans were drawn up by policy makers in Tokyo, the efforts of citizens all over the country were required to implement these plans and create a sense of national identity among local populations.Drawing on extensive archival resources, Baxter describes the transformation of the Tokugawa domain of Kaga into the Meiji prefecture of Ishikawa. The result is a richly detailed study that helps explain how Japan achieved national unity without the bloody struggles that have often accompanied modernization and nation-building.

D Dhebar, "The Mechanics of 3G Cryptography"
English | ISBN: 1445701456 | 2009 | 130 pages | EPUB | 8 MB
There is a plethora of books available on 3G mobile technology in its entirety, but when it comes to the actual mechanics of the cryptographic algorithms involved the information is typically vague. If your interest is in the precise workings of 3G cryptography then this book is for you; it is perhaps the only book of its kind. Every single original algorithm of 3G User Equipment (3G mobile phones) is explained in explicit detail, and each is coupled with a thorough example. The algorithms include the standardised functions, UEA1 for confidentiality and UIA1 for integrity, along with Kasumi, the corresponding kernel algorithm, and also all the non-standardised algorithms for authentication and key agreement, along with their corresponding kernel algorithm, Rijndael (A.E.S.). Contained here is all the information required to literally pencil-and-paper all the cryptographic inputs to outputs of 3G mobiles...patience not included!

The Making of an African Working Class: Politics, Law, and Cultural Protest in the Manual Workers Union of Botswana By Pnina Werbner
2014 | 340 Pages | ISBN: 0745334962 | EPUB | 3 MB
The Making of an African Working Class explores the formation of working class identity among low-paid African workers. In arguing for a radical public anthropology of worker identity, the book seeks to analyse the cultural, legal, ideological and experiential dimensions of labour activism often neglected in other labour studies.Pnina Werbner shows that by fusing cosmopolitan and local popular cultural forms of protest, unionists have created a distinctive, vernacular way of being a worker in Botswana: one that does not deny workers' roots at home, in the countryside, while being cognisant of a wider world of cosmopolitan labour rights. The assertion of working class dignity, honour and respect, Pnina argues, is a powerful motivating force for manual workers.Against legal-sceptical approaches, The Making of an African Working Class argues that in challenging the government - their employer - in court, manual workers' protests and mobilisation are deeply embedded in ethics, social justice and the law.
