"Även de gladare låtarna är vemodiga i grunden. Vi gjorde vemod undercover." Så lyder Benny Anderssons originella beskrivning av Abbas musik, och i Jan Gradvalls bok möter vi Abba uncovered, bortom förklädnader och genomtröskade legender. Det är en bok som låter detaljerna – i musiken, i människoödena, i samtiden – förklara helheten, från bandets första steg som något av en svensk supergrupp i början av 1970-talet, till den sista inspelningen. Vemod undercover är en mosaik av unika berättelser om Abba, men framför allt en osminkad kärleksförklaring, signerad en av Sveriges ledande musikjournalister, som får oss att se bandet och tiden med nya ögon.

Free Download Zhao Ng, "Djuna Barnes and Theology: Melancholy, Body, Theodicy "
English | ISBN: 1350256021 | 2022 | 218 pages | EPUB | 4 MB
Modernism, religion, and queer bodies come together in this study of Djuna Barnes’s writings and art. Examining the role of Barnes’s theological imagination in relation to a phenomenology of suffering, joy, and sexed embodiment, this book unfolds an intricate synthesis of theology, psychoanalysis, and narrative theory to interrogate how queerness informs her art. Providing an original contribution to religious and literary theory, Ng develops a neo-ontological account of melancholy in relation to the myth of the Fall and provides a novel framework for understanding comedy and tragedy in relation to the question of theodicy. Presented in light of a large body of new archival evidence, Barnes’s works are also examined for the first time in relation to a wide range of intertextual and intermedial encounters, including the medieval mysticism of Marguerite Porete, Stravinsky’s music, 16th- and 18th-century engravings by Albrecht Dürer and Joseph Ottinger, and French and Russian literature from Baudelaire and Lautréamont to Proust and Dostoevsky.
