Dark and Bright Mathematics : Hidden Harmony in Art, History and Culture
Was it necessary for a 17th century painter to know principles of optics to hide a skull in one of his masterpieces?Is it possible the violent deaths of Roman emperors obey a statistical law?Are there connections between market trends and geometry?How did Islamic artists draw almost perfectly regular nine-sided polygons, when these cannot be traced with the use of compasses?Dirk Huylebrouk asks these and other exciting questions in this collection of essays, originally written for the science magazine EOS, a Dutch equivalent of Scientific American, distributed in Belgium and in The Netherlands.Every chapter can be read independently, as some subjects are repeated, and not strictly interconnected.Such is the case for instance of the golden section, an often-recurring topic in general mathematics.The reader will appreciate the original point of view expressed through each chapter, which makes this book stand out against the general information one can find by browsing the generalmedia.The subtly provocative character of some parts is meant to stimulate the reader for further exploration.The book's title itself may already generate surprise.Sure, to many, mathematics seems to come from hell, but the darkness in the title in fact refers to the lugubrious stories about math and skulls, murders or World War II.There is also a more down-to-earth part about math and maps, money, Facebook, folding paper, shapes in ice and the most earthly yet unsolved math problems. ‘Bright mathematics’ alludes to Vedic, Islam, New Age, a meta-divine section, and is concluded by an interview with a top mathematician who also wrote about the existence of God.

The Gelede Spectacle : Art, Gender, and Social Harmony in an African Culture
This remarkable study explores the use of the visual and performing arts to promote nonviolence and social harmony in sub-Saharan Africa.It focuses on Gelede, a popular community festival of masquerade, dance, and song, held several times a year by the Yoruba of Southwestern Nigeria and the Republic of Benin.Babatunde Lawal, an art historian and African scholar who has taught in Nigeria, Brazil, and the United States, is himself a Yoruba and has taken an active part in Gelede.He writes from the perspective of an informed participant/observer of his own culture. Lawal bases his book on extensive field research—observations and interviews—conducted over more than two decades as well as on numerous published and unpublished scholarly sources.He casts significant new light on many previously obscure aspects of Gelede, and he demonstrates a useful methodological approach to the study of non-Western art. The book systematically covers the major aspects of the Gelede spectacle, presenting its cultural background and historical origins as preface to a vivid and detailed description of an actual performance.This is followed by a discussion of the iconography and aesthetics of costume, and an examination of the sculpted images on the masks.The book concludes with a discussion of the moral and aesthetic philosophy of Gelede and its responsiveness to technological and social change. The Gelede Spectacle is illustrated in color and black-and-white with over 100 field and museum photographs, including a rare sequence on the dressing of a masquerader.It offers, in addition, more than 60 Gelede song texts, proverbs, and divination verses, each in the original Yoruba as well as in translation.Lawal’s interpretations of these pieces indicate the rich complexities of metaphor and analogy inherent in the Yoruba language and art.

Hollywood Harmony : Musical Wonder and the Sound of Cinema
Film music often tells us how to feel, but it also guides us how to hear.Hollywood Harmony explores the inner workings of film music, bringing together tools from music theory, musicology, and music psychology.Harmony, and especially chromaticism, is emblematic of what we commonly recognize as film music sound and it is often used to evoke wonder, that most cinematic of feelings.To help parse this familiar but complex musical style, Hollywood Harmony offers a first-of-its kind introduction to neo-Riemannian theory, a recently developed and versatile method of understanding music as a dynamic and transformational process, rather than a series of inert notes on a page.This application of neo-Riemannian theory to film music is perfect way in for curious newcomers, while also constituting significant scholarly contribution to the larger discipline of music theory.Author Frank Lehman draws from his extensive knowledge of cinematic history with case-studies that range from classics of Golden Age Hollywood to massive contemporary franchises to obscure cult-films.Special emphasis is placed on scores for major blockbusters such as Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, and Inception.With over a hundred meticulously transcribed music examples and more than two hundred individual movies discussed, Hollywood Harmony will fascinate any fan of film and music.
