Words, Language & Grammar

PALGRAVE~MACMILLAN

This practical introduction uses theories of language to explore different aspects of Scottish literature. It includes material on varieties of Scots and Scottish English, linguistic approaches to literary studies, the grammar of texts, vocabulary, metaphor, poetic metre, language in use, point of view, narrative, stereotypes of the Scots, discourse and reading older Scottish texts. Extensive examples demonstrate the application of the theories, from poems and ballads to a football report, and from short stories to extracts from film scripts and plays.

In Extended Play, one of the country's most innovative music writers conducts a wide-ranging tour through the outer limits of contemporary music. Over the course of more than twenty-five portraits, interviews, and essays, John Corbett engages artists from lands as distant as Sweden, Siberia, and Saturn. With a special emphasis on African American and European improvisers, the book explores the famous and the little known, from John Cage and George Clinton to Anthony Braxton and Sun Ra. Employing approaches as diverse as the music he celebrates, Corbett illuminates the sound and theory of funk and rap, blues and jazz, contemporary classical, free improvisation, rock, and reggae.Using cultural critique and textual theory, Corbett addresses a broad spectrum of issues, such as the status of recorded music in postmodern culture, the politics of self-censorship, experimentation, and alternativism in the music industry, and the use of metaphors of space and madness in the work of African American musicians. He follows these more theoretically oriented essays with a series of extensive profiles and in-depth interviews that offer contrasting and complementary perspectives on some of the world’s most creative musicians and their work. Included here are more than twenty original photographs as well as a meticulously annotated discography. The result is one of the most thoughtful, and most entertaining, investigations of contemporary music available today.

Published on the occasion of the exhibition Albert Oehlen | Fabric Paintings, this catalogue includes both full plate images and details from a body of work never before shown as a group. Painted from 1992 – 1996, the Fabric Paintings signaled a new direction in Oehlen’s career. He abandoned the strict, formal compositions that he had produced in his early work and instead focused on the process of painting. Rather than utilizing pristine canvas, Oehlen gained notoriety for his use of patterned fabric. He began these works by piecing together pre-printed striped or floral-pattern material as the painting support. From these fractured surfaces the Fabric Paintings appear explosive, a true test to the limits of painting. Accompanying the reproductions and installation photographs, the book includes the essay “Whole Cloth” by John Corbett, as well as a full annotated catalogue of works.
