141. Aaron Copland Icon Of American Culture 1900-1990 Biography from The Timid Soul's Guide to Classical Music showing his importance in moving America away from overpowering european influences. http://www.azstarnet.com/public/packages/reelbook/153-4002.htm

Aaron Copland: Icon of American culture 1900-1990 American composers wrote with a German accent in the 19th century, and adopted a more fashionable French accent early in the 20th century. Only with the 1930s work of Aaron Copland did American music find its own loping voice. Copland's music just before, during and after World War II defined the American style. Great Americana film scores from Elmer Bernstein's ``To Kill a Mockingbird'' and ``The Magnificent Seven'' to Randy Newman's ``The Natural'' are homages to the Copland sound and attitude. Copland himself wrote eight film scores, including ``Of Mice and Men,'' ``The Red Pony'' and ``The Heiress.'' But he really launched the Americana movement not on the silver screen but in the concert hall and on the ballet stage. His greatest strength as a composer was his simplicity of expression, his ability to make a musical point memorably but without fuss. That's why three of his six ballet scores - ``Rodeo,'' ``Billy the Kid'' and ``Appalachian Spring'' - are loved even by people who hate modern music. Copland's first works, in the 1920s and '30s, were self-consciously avant-garde for their time, with brashly dissonant harmonies. Copland was committed to tonality, but primitivism had been in vogue since Stravinsky's ``The Rite of Spring'' premiered just before World War I.

143. Paper A journal article by Lynne Guitar that includes detailed discussion of the Taino history of the island of Hispaniola. http://www.kacike.org/LynneGuitar.html

KACIKE: Journal of Caribbean Amerindian History and Anthropology ISSN 1562-5028 Criollos: The Birth of a Dynamic New Indo - Afro - European People and Culture on Hispaniola. Lynne Guitar Ph.D. History, Vanderbilt University lynneguitar@yahoo.com Download a copy of this paper in: Word 97 Format or Adobe PDF (using Adobe Acrobat Reader) Date received: 18 January, 2000 Date accepted: 11 February, 2000 Date published: 12 March, 2000 Certainly fanaticism and militarism were underlying factors of the reconquista...but it must be recalled that the centuries of reconquest produced not only conflict, but the unique pattern of convivencia in which Christians, Jews, and Muslims lived in relative tolerance and learned from and influenced each other. The Spaniards who went to the New World were heirs to the traditions of both conquest and convivencia.(1) THE TRIPARTITE CRIOLLOS OF HISPANIOLA The tripartite nature—Indo-Afro-Europeanof both Hispaniola's people and its culture has been little recognized or explored. In large part, this is because studies, particularly studies of the island’s conquest and colonization, have focused on Spaniards and Santo Domingo, which was their capital and administrative center. In Santo Domingo, as best they could, Spaniards reproduced their European infrastructures and European cultural patterns. Nonetheless, Santo Domingo was a frontier city. The culture that evolved there was not a perfect European replica because of: The Spanish colonists were even less successful at replicating their European infrastructures and European culture in the countryside than they were in the capital. In Hispaniola's countrysidein the gold mining regions, in the rural villages and pueblos, on the sugar ingenios, and in the uncontrolled regions of the islandSpaniards were outnumbered by a minimum of six-and-a-half or eight-and-a-half to one by Indians, Africans and "others" in the 1530s, long after the Indians were supposed to have disappeared and long before most of the African slaves arrived.(2)

144. John Milton And Sventeenth Century Culture culture and history during the 1640s, and background on Milton in Italy. http://www.sc.edu/library/spcoll/britlit/milton/miltonitaly.html

Italy, European Intellectual Life, and the Pamphlet Wars of the 1640s Hugo Grotius, 1583-1645; Willem de Groot, 1597-1662, ed. Lugduni Batav.: apud Hieronymum de Vogel, 1639. Contemporary red morocco, gilt. Milton concluded his six years of quiet study with a remarkable eighteen-month tour to various centers of European antiquity and intellectual life, notably Italy. Early in his tour, in Paris in April 1638, he was able to meet one of his great intellectual heroes, the Dutch legal theorist Hugo Grotius, exiled from Holland but then serving as the Swedish ambassador to France. Among Grotius's Latin writings were two significant for Milton's own later poetry, the drama Adamus Exsul (1601) and the poem Christus patiens (published 1619). (The library's earliest edition of Milton's third great neo-Latin poetic influence, with Buchanan and Grotius, Marco Girolamo Vida's Christiad , first published in 1535, dates only from 1731, and was not included in this exhibit.) Milton's Florence Georg Braun, 1541-1622, and Franz Hogenberg, c.1536-1588, "Florentia,"

149. CULTURE OF FOOD> Historical essay on the effects of european foods and eating had on Nagasaki from the 16th Century onwards. http://www.uwosh.edu/home_pages/faculty_staff/earns/etchu.html

EUROPEAN INFLUENCE ON THE "CULTURE OF FOOD" IN NAGASAKI Etchu Tetsuya translated by Fumiko F. Earns Eating may be viewed simply as a biological function based upon physical and physiological needs, but when it comes to eating habits and the content of meals, a variety of factors must be considered. For this reason, I coined the phrase "shoku no bunka shi" (the cultural history of food) and began to publish on this topic in 1960, arguing that diet changes according to regional climate, politics, history and customs, and that it displays distinctive characteristics from one region to another. In particular, I paid special attention to the culture of food in the Nagasaki region as it is quite unique in Japan and provides a keen insight into the city's colorful history of international exchange. The Opening of Nagasaki Harbor and the Culture of Food The person who opened the door for the introduction of Western culture and Christianity in the Nagasaki region was the feudal lord Nagasaki Sumikage, a vassal of the daimyo Omura Sumitada. In May 1563, Omura and twenty-five of his vassals (including Sumikage) were baptized in the port town of Yokoseura, which the previous year had been visited by the annual Portuguese ship. After the baptism, Sumikage returned to Nagasaki. Omura Sumitada's baptism meant that everyone who resided in his domain had to convert to Christianity. At this time, a Catholic church was built in Yokoseura, and bread (pan, from the Portuguese word pao) and wine were provided for use in the Mass. The word pan was already well known among the Christian population in Japan.

Vampiri Europeana, or, A Bibliography of Non-English European Resources on Vampires in Literature, Folklore, and Popular Culture by Melinda K. Hayes First compiled July 9, 1998 Contents Introduction Chronological List of Pre-20th Century Resources Reference Works Historical Antecedents Vlad Tepes Elisabeth Bathory Belles Lettres Novels Bram Stoker's Dracula Anthologies ... Popular Culture Cinema/TV General Reference, Criticism and Reviews Films and their Reviews Reviews of English-language Films Comics ... Other Titles Music, Scores, and Sound Recordings General Reference, Criticism and Reviews Scores and Libretti Sound Recordings and their Reviews Miscellanea Introduction My interest in vampires stems from a strong interest in gothic horror developed in my pre-teen years. I loved the works of Poe, the ghosts of Dickens, and of all the monsters on the silver screen, my favorite was Dracula. Like many of my youth, I ran home from school each day to watch Dark Shadows, and suffered along with the guilt-ridden vampire Barnabas Collins. It wasn't until after my marriage that I caught the collecting bug. My husband also shared my interest in horror and gave me a subscription to the Dark Shadows video series. A few months later, when on a trip to New York in 1991 he visited several secondhand bookstores, and brought back a suitcase-load of books about vampires. We were soon collectors of Vampireana in a big way.
