Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. Contents: Preface. 1. Langer's theory of art : some essentials. 2. Of music : Langer and an Indian genre. 3. Imaging time in music : Langer and Hindustani rhythm. 4. Magic in movement : Langer and Kathak dance. Bibliography. Index. "The book is decidedly the very first of its kind. It seeks to weigh some basic facts and concepts of Hindustani sangeet ( music, rhythm, and Kathak dance) against the art theories of Susanne K. Langer, an eminent aesthetician of the recent past; but nowhere without meticulous attention to the text of her writings. "The expression theory of art has for long dominated the history of aesthetics. At the hands of Langer, however, the theory takes a new turn. She conceives of art not as a direct self-expression of the artist's immediate affective state, but as a symbolic expression of his knowledge of what she terms variously as felt life, sentience, or forms of feeling. Drawing freely upon examples from the region of Hindustani sangeet, the present book accepts Langer's protest against the popular view of artistic expression, but contends that there is a good deal in our music and dance which has nothing to do with feeling, and is admired simply because of its sweetness, clarity, shapeliness, and accordance with grammatical norms. "In the chapter on music, while discussing Langer's emphasis on 'commanding form' in a total performance, the author proposes a quite new definition of raga which seeks to integrate the various points in its traditional characterizations.The third chapter too, which deals with Langer's view of rhythm, is not 383 pp.

Guru Nanak's Japuji : A Look Anew
First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. Contents: Preface. 1. Introductory. 2.The Mul Mantra. 3. The Attributes Anew. 4. The How and Why of Devotion. Japu JI Text (Trilingual). Bibliography. The ultimate reality, God or Brahman, may well be said to outstrip the reach of thought; but if we do not try, as thoughtfully as we possibly can, to get at what Guru Nanak really says in this seminal work Japuji a daily prayer book how will we be able to benefit from his teaching, as he surely wanted fervently? In the entire history of mankind very few men have been so acutely sensitive to our multifarious suffering, and so keen to show us the way to transcend it for good, as Guru Nanak was. This makes the authors approach this holy work in a new perspective.This volume tries to interpret Mul Mantra in such a way that the celestial attributes listed in it come to be interrelated, as they must be taken to be. It also attempts wherever possible to explain the order of Guru's prolific utterances, be they invocatory or just eulogistic. However ebullient the Guru's utterances may seem to be, they are always significant vehicles of some profound meaning; and also warranted by the running context.Guru Nanak's Japuji is a great work, yet this volume is expected to do some good to every thoughtful reader. At the end, the entire text of Japuji in Punjabi, Devnagari with Roman transliteration is given, making the text accessible to the masses who live outside India and need this prayer to be read in English.

Contents Preface Acknowledgement 1 Aesthetic Theory and Hindustani Rhythm 2 Our Rhythm and Croce 3 The Concept of Laya in Hindustani Music 4 Tala Bol Theka 5 Phenomenology of Sama in Hindustani Rhythm 6 Form and Content 7 Aesthetic Character of some Asymmetrical Rhythms 8 Sama and Musical Structure 9 Rhythm in Kathak Dance 10 Towards an Aesthetics of Hindustani Rhythm 11 Our Rhythm vis-A-vis Susanne Langers view 12 Laya TAla Rhythm and a Contemporary Debate Bibliography IndexThis collection of essays a thoroughly revised and enlarged version of its first earlier edition 1979 is a pioneering treatment of the Hindustani rhythm in the way of contemporary Western aesthetics It seeks on the one hand to determine and distinguish the meaning of such key words as laya matra bol theka sama and layakari and on the other hand to seize the details and aesthetic semblances of live rhythm as they appear to contemplationSome wider aesthetical questions have also been addressed in this book How if at all can rhythm be regarded as an autonomous art What are the elements of its winged form and how can it yet appear steadfast and virtually motionless Is it proper to speak of the art of rhythm as symbolic in its significance or as expressive in some distinctive way Or can it be said to ?embody? what it signifiesInsofar as rhythm is fast becoming a vital subject of aesthetic reflection in the West today the book also seeks to weigh the conflicting views of two modern aestheticians Susanne K Langer and Philip Alperson against the theory and practice of Hindustani rhythmEvery lover of this specific genre of rhythm stands to benefit from a reading of this book It would prove to be of value also to those who are interested in Kathak dance for no other classical dance of India depends so manifestly on rhythm 199 pp.
