"'The phonograph is not an opera house' - mit diesem Zitat hält Thomas Alva Edison eine ganz wichtige Erkenntnis zur Medialität der Tonaufnahme fest. In der Tat unterschied sich schon die frühe Tonaufnahme und ihr klangliches Ergebnis in jeglicher Hinsicht ganz wesentlich von dem musikalischen Geschehen, das auf der Bühne stattfand. Dies ist der Fall, weil nicht nur die Tonaufnahmegeräte und ihre Bauteile technisch auf das klangliche Ergebnis einwirken, sondern auch die an der Aufnahme anders: Die Singstimme, wie sie auf dem Medium Tonaufnahme erscheint, wird entwickelt in vielfältigem Zusammenwirken wiederum findet nicht im 'luftleeren Raum' statt, sondern wird geformt und beeinflusst durch die verschiedensten Diskurse und Diskussionen um Ästhetik, Technik, Mensch und Natur. All dies am Beispiel der frühen Tonaufnahme in den Studios der Plattenfirmen Edison und Victor näher zu beleuchten, ist das Ziel dieses Buches, mit dem die Autorin zugleich die Ergebnisse ihrer Forschugnen im DFG-Projekt 'Technologien des Singens' vorlegt"--Back cover.

Michel Chion's landmark Audio-Vision has exerted significant influence on our understanding of sound-image relations since its original publication in 1994. Chion argues that sound film qualitatively produces a new form of perception. Sound in audiovisual media does not merely complement images. Instead, the two channels together engage audio-vision, a special mode of perception that transforms both seeing and hearing. We don't see images and hear sounds separately-we audio-view a trans-sensory whole.In this updated and expanded edition, Chion considers many additional examples from recent world cinema and formulates new questions for the contemporary media environment. He takes into account the evolving role of audio-vision in different theatrical environments, considering its significance for music videos, video art, commercial television, and the internet, as well as conventional cinema. Chion explores how multitrack digital sound enables astonishing detail, extending the space of the action and changing practices of scene construction. He demonstrates that speech is central to film and television and shows why "e;audio-logo-visual"e; is a more accurate term than "e;audiovisual."e; Audio-Vision shows us that sound is driving the creation of a sensory cinema.This edition includes a glossary of terms, a chronology of several hundred significant films, and the original foreword by sound designer, editor, and Oscar honoree Walter Murch.

A unique overview of the human language faculty at all levels of organization. Language is not only one of the most complex cognitive functions that we command, it is also the aspect of the mind that makes us uniquely human. Research suggests that the human brain exhibits a language readiness not found in the brains of other species. This volume brings together contributions from a range of fields to examine humans' language capacity from multiple perspectives, analyzing it at genetic, neurobiological, psychological, and linguistic levels. In recent decades, advances in computational modeling, neuroimaging, and genetic sequencing have made possible new approaches to the study of language, and the contributors draw on these developments. The book examines cognitive architectures, investigating the functional organization of the major language skills; learning and development trajectories, summarizing the current understanding of the steps and neurocognitive mechanisms in language processing; evolutionary and other preconditions for communication by means of natural language; computational tools for modeling language; cognitive neuroscientific methods that allow observations of the human brain in action, including fMRI, EEG/MEG, and others; the neural infrastructure of language capacity; the genome's role in building and maintaining the language-ready brain; and insights from studying such language-relevant behaviors in nonhuman animals as birdsong and primate vocalization.

"Barbara Kaminska's Pieter Bruegel the Elder: Religious Art for the Urban Community is the first book-length study focusing on religious paintings by one of the most captivating Netherlandish artists, long celebrated for his secular imagery. In a period marked by a profound religious, economic, and cultural transformation, Bruegel offered his sophisticated urban audience complex biblical images that required an engaged, active viewing, not only sparking learned dinner conversations, but facilitating the negotiation of values seen as critical to maintaining a harmonious society. By considering the novelty of Bruegel's panels used in convivia alongside his small, intimate grisaille compositions, this study ultimately shows that Bruegel renewed the idiom of religious painting, successfully preserving its ritualistic and meditative functions" [Publisher]
