[ePub] Bruce Springsteen and the Promise of Rock 'n' Roll by Marc Dolan in Arts-Photography

Description

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2006 im Fachbereich Kunst - Uebergreifende Betrachtungen; Note: 2;0; Universitauml;t Karlsruhe (TH); 9 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis; Sprache: Deutsch; Abstract: Der Altar beschreibt im christlichen Glauben den Ort; beziehungsweise den Opfertisch im eigentlichen Sinne; an dem die Eucharistiefeier abgehalten wird. Per sprachlicher Definition handelt es sich bei dem Begriff des Altares um einen Opfertisch.Nach der Lehre des urchristlichen Glaubens ist diese Handlung der Eucharistie sowohl Opfer als auch Abendmahl zugleich. Im Rahmen dieser Feier wird das Kreuzopfer Jesu erneuert. Seine Prauml;senz wird durch das Messopfer reprauml;sentiert in Form von Brot und Wein als Symbol fuuml;r sein Leib und sein Blut.Der Altar erscheint allgemein in zwei verschiedenen Arten; dem altare fixum; dem stationauml;r eingerichteten Altar und dem altare portatile; oder altare mobile genannt; dem transportablen und beweglichen Altar. Auf diese verschiedenen Arten mouml;chten wir hier in dieser Ausarbeitung eingehen. Ebenso wie auf verschiedene liturgische Kontexte und zuletzt auf einige einzelne Erscheinungsformen sowie kurz auf die Unterschiede im Umgang mit dem Altar in den heutigen Konfessionen.

Review
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. I very much enjoyed this biography of Bruce SpringsteenBy Up The StairsI very much enjoyed this biography of Bruce Springsteen. Mr. Bruce is a huge topic. and his history is full of interesting tidbits. many of which are covered in this bio. Bruce Springsteen and the Promise of Rock n Roll was released during the same time frame as BRUCE by Mr. Carlin. The books are strikingly different in their approach and their theme. BRUCE received help from the Springsteen camp. while Marc Dolan was pretty much forced to do leather to pavement investigatory work to accomplish his results. I dont prefer either book over the other. I read them back to back. and I found them equally satisfying. but for different reasons.Marc Dolans approach to Springsteen is much more scholarly than Carlins work. which comes off a bit too friendly. less objective. Dolan approaches many of Springsteens artistic decisions with more depth and less celebrity. He also does an excellent job of tying Springsteens success to his connection with his fans. Springsteen is like few others in that his fan base is passionate AND educated. He can write lyrics that are entertaining while also having depth and a good story. Dolan spends considerable time making that connection about the fans and the body of work. If you want to read about Springsteen. there are many bios out there. Dolans is just as good and even better. in some cases. than any of them. Highly recommended.17 of 18 people found the following review helpful. a fine addition to the Springsteen literary canonBy M J Heilbron Jr.Marc Dolan has written a fine addition to the Springsteen literary canon. an ever-enlarging library that now encompasses dozens of books. Each of those tomes has a particular purpose...a separate voice.You have Springsteens own "Songs". which peeks into his process and interpretations. The Dave Marsh books are the biographical bibles. so to speak. but seriously. hes a massive fan from the very beginnings of Springsteens career. Hes not. nor does he say he is. objective. There are others...In fact. writing about Springsteen (like I sort of am here) or even listening to his music. cannot be objective.This guy gets into the hearts and minds of people like few musical artists ever have.Now. THIS book addresses his career using the albums as markers. not a bad way to go when reviewing a musicians career.The emphasis is on the music. both studio recordings and tours. Clearly. this guy has heard a lot of bootlegs. but I was familiar with most of what he had to say just by listening to the formally released albums.There wasnt a lot I didnt know (Im a huge fan and a bit of a know-it-all)...but that didnt stop me from inhaling this book in a weekend. and enjoying every single minute.In fact. the little things I learned...Billy Joel dedicating "The Entertainer" to Bruce at a concert in the 70s...kept me reading just to see what delightful nugget was to follow.The reason I didnt pony up for a five-star rating is that I found the authors opinion intruded either too often. or too strongly. when discussing the music. Yes. were fans. I get it. And like I said. I have no pretense about objectivity...but tonally...the flow of the book... suffered a few times because of it. The thin coverage of "Working On A Dream" felt more like it was secondary to the fact he didnt like the record. than to the fact that perhaps it overall was a critical and popular yawn. Its like he didnt want to say anything bad.I loved the fact that he stated that the title song was "almost certainly the weakest title song of any Springsteen album"...I happen to agree with that opinion.Also. the book ends with a tale about "Surprise Surprise". a song "many fans held in even lower esteem than The Angel" and the author describes it as seeming "disposable. juvenile and almost meaningless."Again. right on.But these sort of books are supposed to present events of a career in context. and a few times along the way. almost as if he was skirting around a delicate issue. he doesnt.Overall. though. this is a great read. Im quibbling. because. well. Im trying to be "objective". Honest.And honestly. the majority of this book DOES put his career into context! It tells how the albums fit into his personal history. the current events of the period. and how they reflect back on musical influences both historic and modern popular tastes. The tours each get a few pages. but these feel like more of a tease than a tale.Perhaps its not Mr. Dolans fault that maybe I simply wanted MORE.Thats a compliment.There are other things that simply arent his fault.Springsteen has been putting out music like a man possessed as of late. and the book is woefully outdated on the day it was released.New albums...like "Wrecking Ball". new tour...the treasure trove of music that was the recent "Darkness-The Promise" box set...Im sure will be addressed in the paperback.In fact. that will inevitably make this book better because theres already a terrific passage about the original "Wrecking Ball" song performance at Giants Stadium. and theres already LOTS of stuff on "The Promise" (the song) and the other songs that comprise The Promise (the album) that will all come full circle now.Hopefully THAT edition will then be out of date. because Bruce will have yet another album? Tracks 2? The River box set? Anyone? Is this mike on?We can only hope.And I think the author hopes so as well.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. One of the best Springsteen biographies.By JimThere have been several books about Springsteen and I read a lot of them. I liked this book because it told me about his early years before the fame. I sensed all the friends Springsteen must have had in his early years because he jammed with everyone and he had bands with several people. Years later when he hosts the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame dinners. it makes sense because he always surrounded himself with other artists like this.I have a new appreciation for "The River." I thought that album was inconsistent. but Dolan finds the consistency in it. He talks about the down time of the 1990s in a way I could understand.The book was comprehensive yet conversational and easy to read and enjoy.One of the best Springsteen books.
