DA TAMMURIATA NERA AL RAP E ALLA TRAP CONTEMPORANEE, PASSANDO PER CAROSONE E PINO DANIELE, LA GRANDE STAGIONE DELLA CANZONE NAPOLETANA IN UN VOLUME INDISPENSABILE PER TUTTI I SUOI NUMEROSI AMANTI. "Nanà, Nanù, Makabù, Evviva ’a tessera" si canta a Napoli nei primi anni Trenta: nomi esotici della canzone coloniale e grida di giubilo della propaganda fascista. Le canzonette di regime, tuttavia, non riescono per fortuna a occupare tutta la scena. Intorno alla metà degli anni Trenta non mancano infatti capolavori come Passione e, all’inizio degli anni Quaranta, gemme del genere comico come Ciccio Formaggio. È a partire dal secondo dopoguerra che la canzone napoletana sviluppa con nuove forme la sua costitutiva natura ibrida, rielaborando alla sua maniera le nuove tendenze che avanzano sulla scena musicale internazionale. Da Tammurriata nera e Pistol packin’ mama dell’immediato dopoguerra si passa agli anni Cinquanta, in cui, accanto a canzoni destinate a permanere (Sciummo, Lazzarella, Guaglione, Tu si’ na cosa grande), si inaugura il «bainait» napoletano con i suoi innesti fra tradizioni locali e matrici d’oltreoceano (Nun è peccato, Anema e core, Accarézzame!, Na voce, na chitarra e ’o ppoco ’e luna) e in cui Renato Carosone si fa largo prepotentemente sulla scena a tempo di boogie woogie e quick step. Poi arriva la stagione irripetibile degli anni Settanta, nella quale tendenze diverse convivono come in un arcipelago formato da isole immerse nel mare della lingua napoletana (James Senese, il rock progressive degli Osanna, il giovane music maker Pino Daniele e, negli stessi incredibili anni, la sceneggiata di Mario Merola e Pino Mauro e la nuova canzone sottoproletaria di Patrizio e Nino D’Angelo), fino ai neomelodici e ai singolari esiti del nuovo Millennio, in cui il rap e fenomeni come Liberato pongono allo studioso problemi di non facile risposta. Su questa ampia scena musicale si snoda il racconto della canzone napoletana dal 1932 al 2003, in un’appassionante narrazione che mescola costume, documenti musicali, interviste inedite, immagini, letteratura, cinema, teatro, clip. Una storia lunga e articolata, che include testi originali con traduzione a fronte, una bibliografia ragionata e un indice dei nomi dei protagonisti e delle canzoni citate.

Jazz and Totalitarianism examines jazz in a range of regimes that in significant ways may be described as totalitarian, historically covering the period from the Franco regime in Spain beginning in the 1930s to present day Iran and China. The book presents an overview of the two central terms and their development since their contemporaneous appearance in cultural and historiographical discourses in the early twentieth century, comprising fifteen essays written by specialists on particular regimes situated in a wide variety of time periods and places. Interdisciplinary in nature, this compelling work will appeal to students from Music and Jazz Studies to Political Science, Sociology, and Cultural Theory.

Neapolitan Postcards gathers a diverse group of international scholars to investigate unexplored transnational aspects of the intimate yet globally popular canzone napoletana. Performed and beloved worldwide in almost every language, the style had hits such as “Funiculì funiculà” (1880) and “’O sole mio” (1898) which sold millions of copies. These hits fueled the tradition’s spread across the world over the course of the twentieth century with the eventual popularity of covers by singers and musicians of all music genres and styles, from popular music to opera and jazz. This book is the first scholarly work that considers the specific complexities of the international Neapolitan Song scenes through case studies from Argentina, England, Greece, and the United States, employing analyses of compositions, iconographical sources, international films, mechanical musical instruments, performances, and recordings devoted to the canzone napoletana.

Before Emotion: The Language of Feeling, 400-1800 advances current interdisciplinary research in the history of emotions through in-depth studies of the European language of emotion from late antiquity to the modern period. Focusing specifically on the premodern cognates of ‘affect’ or ‘affection’ (such as affectus, affectio, affeccioun, etc.), an international team of scholars explores the cultural and intellectual contexts in which emotion was discussed before the term ‘emotion’ itself came into widespread use. By tracing the history of key terms and concepts associated with what we identify as ‘emotions’ today, the volume offers a first-time critical foundation for understanding pre- and early modern emotions discourse, charts continuities and changes across cultures, time periods, genres, and languages, and helps contextualize modern shifts in the understanding of emotions.
