Flashmobs; Dicirc;ners en blanc und Strategiespiele im ouml;ffentlichen Raum - auml;sthetische In(ter)ventionen erobern seit einigen Jahren unser Stadtbild. Worin aber besteht ihr politisches Potenzial?Auml;sthetische In(ter)ventionen treten als temporauml;re Interferenzen; Stouml;rungen und Bruuml;che unserer alltauml;glichen Erfahrungswelt in Erscheinung. Sie unterlaufen die Normativitauml;t unserer ouml;ffentlichen Wahrnehmungs- und Verhaltenstopographien und fuuml;hren diese auf das Moment ihrer Formbarkeit zuruuml;ck. Dabei setzen sie nicht nur die hegemoniale Ordnung des ouml;ffentlichen Raums aufs Spiel; sondern realisieren sich im selbstreferenziellen Vollzug ihrer kollektiven Verkouml;rperung als gemeinschaftlicher (Ver-)Handlungsspielraum. Ausgehend von der Frage nach ihrem politischen Potenzial geht die Studie der auml;sthetischen In(ter)vention in ihrer Materialitauml;t; Medialitauml;t und Historizitauml;t auf den Grund.

A Great View Into the World of Gypsy JazzBy Old Enough to Know BetterGypsy Jazz has gone from being an obscure; nearly forgotten form of music to being more popular than ever and most of this started with the story of Django Reinhardt that has long been known among guitar players. Michael Dregni has gone to great lengths to research the roots of Gypsy Jazz and to flesh out the story far beyond just Django Reinhardts contribution to the genre. He also shows that Gypsy Jazz did not cease to develop with Djangos death in 1953. The music was carried forward by many people over the years and has evolved along the way. Dregni went to great lengths to research who these people were and to interview them. The crowning acheivement of all this was a guitar lesson he took from David Reinhardt; the grandson of Django himself.Another high point was the account of attending the annual Gypsy pilgrimage to Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer. After the religious services the next activity is countless jam sessions in the Gypsy encampments. One can only wonder just what it would be like to be there and hear some of the finest; most spontaneous music known to man. Well; thats as much as Im going to give you for free; if you want more youll have to buy the book . . . something I recommend highly to anyone with an interest in Gypsy Jazz.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.

Indespensible.By K. V. T.A wonderful book for anyone with an interest in what is today called "Gypsy Jazz" or jazz manouche. A wealth of little known and well researched information on the earliest masters of this form of music through to the present day; (and everywhere in between).Well written and immensely readable.
