English Rhythm and Blues Where Language and Music Come Together

English Rhythm and Blues Where Language and Music Come Together

Patrice Larroque hypothesizes that early blues singers may have been influenced by the trochaic rhythm of English. English is stressed and timed which means that there is a regular beat to the language just like there is a beat in a blues song. This regular beat falls on important words in the sentence and unimportant ones do not get stressed. They are “squeezed” between the salient words to keep the rhythm. The apparent contradiction between the fundamentally trochaic rhythm of spoken English and the syncopated ternary rhythm of blues may be resolved as the stressed syllables of the trochee (a stressed-unstressed sequence) is naturally lengthened and assumes the role of one strongly and one weakly stressed syllable in a ternary rhythm. The book suggests investigating the rhythm of English and the rhythm of blues in order to show how the linguistic rhythm of a culture can be reflected in the rhythm of its music. | English Rhythm and Blues Where Language and Music Come Together

Why Safety Cultures Degenerate And How To Revive Them

Why Safety Cultures Degenerate And How To Revive Them

From Chernobyl to Fukushima have we come full circle where formalisation has replaced ambiguity and a decadent style of management to the point where it is becoming counter-productive? Safety culture is a contested concept and a complex phenomenon which has been much debated in recent years. In some high-risk activities like the operating of nuclear power plants transparency traceability and standardisation have become synonymous with issues of quality. Meanwhile the experience-based knowledge that forms the basis of manuals and instructions is liable to decline. In the long-term arguably it is the cultural changes and its adverse impacts on co-operation skill and ability of judgement that will pose the greater risks to the safety of nuclear plants and other high-risk facilities. Johan Berglund examines the background leading up to the Fukushima Daiichi accident in 2011 and highlights the function of practical proficiency in the quality and safety of high-risk activities. The accumulation of skill represents a more indirect and long-term approach to quality oriented not towards short-term gains but (towards) delayed gratification. Risk management and quality professionals and academics will be interested in the links between skill quality and safety-critical work as well as those interested in a unique insight into Japanese culture and working life as well as fresh perspectives on safety culture. | Why Safety Cultures Degenerate And How To Revive Them

How Autocrats Attack Expertise Resistance to Trump and Trumpism

How Autocrats Attack Expertise Resistance to Trump and Trumpism

Chronicling and analyzing resistance to the threat that autocracy poses to American liberal democracy this book provides the definitive account of Trump’s assault on truth and his populist attacks on expertise as well as scientific and legal opposition to them. This book is about the threat of autocracy which antedated Donald Trump and will persist after he leaves the stage. Pandering to populists autocrats attack professional expertise in an Orwellian world where “ignorance is strength” and where as Hannah Arendt wrote people “believe everything and nothing. ” Trump sought to inflame xenophobia by blaming China for the pandemic and closing U. S. borders then declaring victory and when that proved premature wrongly blaming the number of tests for escalating cases. He sought to muzzle government scientists and denounced those who defied or evaded his directives as members of the “deep state ” preferring to rely on inexpert buddies. He elevated obscure scientists who promoted quack cures and opposed effective preventive measures while sidelining the few reputable experts who nevertheless courageously resisted political interference. In addition to these as this book documents independent scientists scientific journals and professional associations also outspoken often more so. Even the pharmaceutical industry sought to preserve the integrity of a federal bureaucracy that assured the public the drugs they consumed were safe and efficacious. Following Trump’s numerous efforts to distort and undermine expertise this book describes and evaluates the resilience of scientific and legal defenses of truth. This definitive account and analysis of the Trump’s populist rejection of truth and expertise will appeal to scholars students and others with interests in politics populism and the rule of law and more specifically to those concerned with resisting the threat that autocracy poses to liberal democracy. | How Autocrats Attack Expertise Resistance to Trump and Trumpism

The Journey of Deacon Bodo from the Rhine to the Guadalquivir Apostasy and Conversion to Judaism in Early Medieval Europe

The Journey of Deacon Bodo from the Rhine to the Guadalquivir Apostasy and Conversion to Judaism in Early Medieval Europe

The story of Bodo begins in the ninth century around the time of the death of Charlemagne in 814. It centres on a young Aleman aristocrat and his conversion to Judaism in 838 followed by his flight to the Muslim world of Al-Andalus. His apostasy constitutes an arresting footnote in the history of the Carolingian period his change of faith viewed as a shocking episode attributed by some to an overly lax policy towards Judaism and its powerful merchants. Another factor could be ascribed to the study of Judaism and its links with Christianity which was a feature of the time. Bodo moved from a monastery on the Rhine where he went as a small boy to the imperial court where he was now a gifted young scholar groomed for a top position. His unexpected abandonment of Christianity challenged his background and learning and this was seen as a rebuke of the court network to which he belonged. Bodo left behind a growing conflict over succession between the emperor Louis the Pious and his sons that culminated in a civil war following the emperor’s death. As a result the Frankish Empire was partitioned into three separate kingdoms in 843. Meanwhile in Spain two years after fleeing the Frankish world Bodo debated the merits of Judaism and Christianity in Córdoba with Albarus Paulus a beleaguered Christian in the Muslim world not only airing criticisms of Christianity but also some failings of the Carolingian imperial court. In 847 he is mentioned in the court annals as stirring up opposition in Islamic Spain against Christians asserting that they should be forced to convert or be executed. This reported incident may be linked to a significant number of self-imposed deaths by Christians who feeling increasingly persecuted sought to provoke Islam by denouncing the Prophet and bringing about their execution. The experience of Bodo’s apostasy was far from unique: other men and women who renounced Christianity for Judaism are also examined in conversion narratives recorded in the following two centuries. These episodes offer an illuminating study of religious changes taking place in Europe and the East where Christianity Islam and Judaism competed in the ninth century and beyond. Bodo’s experience can be viewed as part of a wider phenomenon depicting men and women who travelled as pilgrims refugees or converts seeking to find a home and escape persecution because of their beliefs. | The Journey of Deacon Bodo from the Rhine to the Guadalquivir Apostasy and Conversion to Judaism in Early Medieval Europe
