In Transpacific Experiments, Miki Kaneda analyzes intermedia as a practice that gives form to errant possibilities, unfolding in spaces of the everyday, to offer nuanced insights into the global flow of ideas, influence, and discourses of appropriation. The stories of intermedia art throughout the study offer feminist and transnational perspectives on experimental music and art that disorient existing narratives about the experimental and political in unexpected ways. Transpacific Experiments contends that social, cultural, and political arrangements local to Japan had a greater influence on the transnational experimental music scene than previously acknowledged. Her perspective extends, exceeds, and at times unsettles these frameworks about experimental practices, revealing the limitations of any single political or aesthetic lens.This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License.https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/Description based on information from the publisher.ArtsJapanExperimental methods20th century.Multimedia (Art)Japan20th century.Avant-garde (Music)JapanHistory and criticism20th century.Avant-garde (Aesthetics)Japan20th century.Electronic books.Michigan Publishing (University of Michigan),publisher.https://doi.org/10.3998/mpub.113926660No-worldcatRecordExternalImportMPubCataloging 03466nam a2200433 i 450010.3998/mpub.12710084MiU20251001112453.0m o d cr#unu||||||||251001t20262026miuad ob 001 0 eng d9780472905683open access ebook0472905686open access ebook9780472040148paperback10.3998/mpub.12710084doiEYMengrdapnEYMR119August, Ella,author,https://ror.org/00jmfr291Teaching academic writing in the health sciences :a guide for instructors, mentors, and trainers /Ella August.Ann Arbor :University of Michigan Press,2026.©20261 online resource (241 pages) :illustrations (some color), charts (some color)texttxtrdacontentcomputercrdamediaonline resourcecrrdacarrierIncludes bibliographical references (pages 215-241) and index.Open accessImmersing trainees into academic research culture helps them learn to think, write, and publish like full-fledged researchers.

Macau and Catholic Music Across the Sino-Western Divide draws extensively upon historical documents in Chinese and Portuguese for a polylingual approach to Catholic sacred music. Jen-yen Chen follows this music from the sixteenth century through the twentieth by reading literary accounts of sound, primary source documents, and musical notation to examine the impacts of linguistic, political, and cultural divides and the ways sounds have traveled across these divides. Chen covers Chinese responses to Western sounds in Macau and southern China, illuminating the strategies for the use of sounds and musicking adopted by Jesuit missionaries; and the complexities of identity formation negotiated by Macau Catholics who confront exceptionalist historical discourses of Chinese or Portuguese "greatness." Drawing from sound studies and musicological methods, Chen argues that Chinese descriptions of Catholic sounds in Macau, including the ringing of church bells, the playing of the organ, and choral singing, illuminate spatial, sonic, and ideological mobilities that reconfigure Chinese and European identities. Macau and Catholic Music Across the Sino-Western Divide also extends to contemporary times to explore how present day members of Macau's Catholic community position themselves in relation to the historical narratives often told about their city, cultivating a rich individuality of identity that refuses conformity to fixed notions of Asianness or Westernness.Sponsored by The Research Institute for the Humanities and Social Sciences, National Science and Technology CouncilThis work is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License.http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/Description based on information from the publisher.Sacred musicChinaMacau (Special Administrative Region)Catholic ChurchChinaMacau (Special Administrative Region)Music and identity politicsChinaMacau (Special Administrative Region)Postcolonialism and musicChinaMacau (Special Administrative Region)Macau (China : Special Administrative Region)History.Macau (China : Special Administrative Region)Politics and government.Macau (China : Special Administrative Region)RelationsChina.Macau (China : Special Administrative Region)RelationsPortugal.Electronic books.Michigan Publishing (University of Michigan),publisher.Musics in motionhttps://doi.org/10.3998/mpub.130117400No-worldcatRecordExternalImportMPubCataloging 04049nam a2200517 i 450010.3998/mpub.13037038MiU20251006114559.0m o d cr#unu||||||||251006t20262026miua ob 000 0 eng d9780472905836(open access ebook)047290583X(open access ebook)9780472078073(hardcover)9780472058075(paperback)10.3998/mpub.13037038doiEYMengrdapnEYMa-io---DS644.62.J65Mietzner, Marcus,author.https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PCjrYbFdyXgKJCghm4967VyRuling Indonesia :Jokowi's presidency in an age of democratic crisis and great power competition /Marcus MietznerJokowi's presidency in an age of democratic crisis and great power competitionAnn Arbor :University of Michigan Press,2026.©20261 online resource (288 pages) :illustrationstexttxtrdacontentcomputercrdamediaonline resourcecrrdacarrierEmerging democraciesIncludes bibliographical references.Open accessA personal examination of how one leader prioritized economic development over democratic liberties. Joko Widodo--popularly called Jokowi--ruled Indonesia for a decade, from 2014 to 2024. The world's fourth-largest nation and third-largest democracy, Indonesia had embarked on a messy democratic transition in the late 1990s, with the country's ethnic and religious heterogeneity posing significant challenges to governance. Initially seen as a reformer who might challenge oligarchic structures, Jokowi slowly but steadily acquired an image of being a threat to democracy himself. By the time Jokowi wrapped up his presidency, he had achieved the highest approval ratings among Indonesia's post-authoritarian presidents--and became the president with the tightest grip over Indonesia's political elite. Based on exclusive interviews with Jokowi and many of Indonesia's top leaders, Ruling Indonesia shows Jokowi as a president obsessively preoccupied with his economic development agenda, subordinating all other aspects of governance to this goal. His focused approach delivered economic successes and unprecedented popularity, but also seriously undermined the health of Indonesia's democratic institutions. Offering a holistic appraisal of his decade in office, Marcus Mietzner analyzes Jokowi's domestic record in the context of his attempts to position Indonesia more favorably in the international competition for power and resources. Crucially, his obsession to push Indonesia closer to industrialized status while neglecting democratic development represented the ambitions and trials of many Global South leaders who are trying to juggle economic development, growing Sino-American tensions around the world, and concerns for democratic rights. As such, this book provides valuable insights into how the great power rivalry of the 21st century and the global recession of democracy are playing out in central arenas of the Global South.This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Non-Commercial 4.0 International Licensehttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0Description based on information from the publisher.Joko Widodo,1961-PresidentsIndonesia21st century.IndonesiaPolitics and government1998-DemocracyIndonesia21st century.IndonesiaEconomic conditions21st century.Electronic books.Michigan Publishing (University of Michigan),publisher.Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies series.https://doi.org/10.3998/mpub.130370380No-worldcatRecordExternalImportMPubCataloging 06035nam a2200541 i 450010.3998/mpub.14505045MiU20251104105454.0m o d cr#unu||||||||251104t20262026miua ob 000 0 eng d9780472905867(open access ebook)0472905864(open access ebook)9780472078097(hardcover)9780472058099(paperback)10.3998/mpub.14505045doiEYMengrdapnEYMn-us---JK609.5Second in command :reevaluating the role of Vice Presidents and running mates in modern American politics /edited by Karine Prémont and Christopher J.

Devine.Open accessIn recent years, the office of the vice president has become a focal point of presidential politics and governance. From the emergence of the modern vice presidency under Walter Mondale to Mike Pence's and Kamala Harris's dramatic influence on the outcome of the 2020 election, Second in Command explores how vice presidents and vice-presidential candidates have shaped the direction of the country and changed American politics. The frenzy of speculation surrounding the "veepstakes" every four years and extensive media coverage of the vice-presidential debate may seem odd, given the vice presidency's limited constitutional powers and dismal public reputation. Dispelling the myth that the vice presidency is a powerless or merely ceremonial role, Second in Command draws on the multidisciplinary expertise of more than a dozen leading vice-presidential scholars to reveal the complex, consequential, and often misunderstood nature of the office. With accessible language and vivid examples, it traces the transformation of vice-presidential power over the past half-century, the evolving electoral significance of vice-presidential running mates, and highlights the need for a deeper public understanding of these pivotal figures. Chapters employ a range of qualitative and quantitative methodologies, including elite interviews, archival research, case studies, and advanced statistical modeling to cover topics such as gender and media effects in running mate selection and the representation of vice presidents in popular culture. This book offers a fresh, engaging, and essential perspective on a vital institution at the heart of American democracy.This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Non-Commercial 4.0 International Licensehttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0Description based on information from the publisher.Vice-presidentsUnited States20th century.Vice-presidentsUnited States21st century.Vice-presidential candidatesUnited States20th century.Vice-presidential candidatesUnited States21st century.United StatesPolitics and government20th century.United StatesPolitics and government21st century.Electronic books.Prémont, Karine,1973-editorhttps://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJrrrfXbXD9dT4Hf8y4pfqhttps://orcid.org/0000-0002-2647-2589https://ror.org/00kybxq39Devine, Christopher,1984-editorhttps://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PCjv7rWcdxBxWF6wRbQmKV3https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2445-9775https://ror.org/021v3qy27Michigan Publishing (University of Michigan),publisher.https://doi.org/10.3998/mpub.145050450No-worldcatRecordExternalImportMPubCataloging 04035nam a2200541 i 450010.3998/mpub.14515580MiU20260310104504.0m o d cr#unu||||||||260310t20262025miuao ob 000 0deng d9780472999095open access ebook0472999095open access ebook10.3998/mpub.14515580doiEYMengrdapnEYMML3531782.421649Johnson, Stevie,author,https://orcid.org/0009-0000-0951-9093,https://ror.org/00rs6vg23Curriculum of the mind /written by Stevie "Dr. View" Johnson & The Space Program.Ann Arbor :University of Michigan Press,2026.©20251 online resource (62 pages) :illustrations, photographstexttxtrdacontentcomputercrdamediaonline resourcecrrdacarrierTracking PopIncludes preface by Stevie "Dr. View" Johnson and the lyrics of fourteen songs by The Space Program, which is a collective of current and former university students.Accompanied by liner notes, sound recordings, and video recordings.Includes bibliographical references (page 62).Open accessCurriculum of the Mind is a groundbreaking hip-hop album that transforms the boundaries of scholarship, sound, and storytelling. A deeply personal and political intervention into the structures of higher education, the project speaks directly to the soul of education, identity, and cultural resilience. Part collective memoir, part mixtape, and part political manifesto, Curriculum of the Mind invites readers and listeners alike into a world where turntables become textbooks, beats carry the weight of history, and samples act as archives of Black life. Produced by Stevie "Dr. View" Johnson, this album features the work of Black students, parents, creatives, and prospective college-goers who rarely see themselves reflected in academia. At the same time, it challenges educators, librarians, and institutions to rethink what learning looks and sounds like in the 21st century. The album draws from and contributes to interdisciplinary fields including Black studies, critical race theory, performance studies, and hip-hop pedagogy. Through powerful mashups and lyrical reflections, Dr. View and The Space Program explore themes of educational trauma, invisibility, intergenerational resilience, and the radical potential of sound as a vehicle for theorizing lived experience. Paired with a written preface, the project challenges the primacy of text-based knowledge, asserting that sound, emotion, and memory are equally valid forms of intellectual inquiry--and that scholarship can, and should, be a collective effort. As a model for the future of performance-based scholarship, Curriculum of the Mind proves that hip-hop is not only music--it's a method, a memory, and a movement.Sponsored by The Ohio State University LibrariesThis work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License.https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/Description based on information from the publisher.The Space Program (Musical Group).Curriculum of the MindHip-hopHistory and criticism.Concept albums (Sound recordings)Production and direction.Composition (Music)CollaborationAnecdotes.College students, BlackSongs and music.Ethnomusicology.Electronic books.The Space Program (Musical Group),author.Michigan Publishing (University of Michigan),publisher.Tracking pop.https://doi.org/10.3998/mpub.145155800No-worldcatRecordExternalImportMPubCataloging 03896nam a2200505 i 450010.3998/mpub.14612393MiU20250722152027.0m o d cr#unu||||||||250722t20262026miua ob 000 0 eng d9780472905812(open access ebook)0472905813(open access ebook)9780472078059(hardcover)9780472058051(paperback)10.3998/mpub.14612393doiEYMengrdapnEYMn-us---JA28.C38Barrow, Clyde W.,authorhttps://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PCjthFg4vWq4f7v6xt37pMXhttps://orcid.org/0000-0002-6846-3728https://ror.org/02p5xjf12A critique of political science :a history of the Caucus for a New Political Science /Clyde W.

The CNPS soon expanded its mission to challenge the APSA's behavioral and pluralist orthodoxy, protest a lack of democratic procedure and transparency in the organization, and oppose ties between the leadership and government agencies involved in covert activities. It remains unique among the more than 50 Organized Sections of APSA as the only section that defines itself ideologically and politically, rather than by research topic, methodology, subfield, or identity status. A Critique of Political Science distinguishes between the discipline of political science (methods and concepts) and the profession of political science (persons and institutions) to move disciplinary history beyond its current form as intellectual history toward a politics of political science. The book argues that understanding the development of a discipline requires the same type of theoretical analysis that political scientists apply to other political institutions. By examining universities and professional associations as political institutions, this approach puts political struggles and ideological conflict at the very core of disciplinary history. In reviewing 50 years of debate, controversy, and in-fighting in the political science profession, the book serves as a critique of the profession and the discipline of political science, which remains woefully disengaged from the concerns of ordinary citizens, particularly the working class and the poor throughout the world.This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Non-Commercial 4.0 International Licensehttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0Description based on information from the publisher.Caucus for a New Political Science (U.S.)American Political Science Association.Political scientistsUnited StatesHistory.Political activistsUnited StatesHistory.Political scienceUnited StatesHistory and criticism.United StatesPolitics and government.Electronic books.Michigan Publishing (University of Michigan),publisher.https://doi.org/10.3998/mpub.146123930No-worldcatRecordExternalImportMPubCataloging 03405nam a2200481 i 450010.3998/mpub.14613105MiU20251017115353.0m o d cr#unu||||||||251017t20262026miua ob 001 0 eng d9780472058006paperback book9780472078004hardcover book9780472905775open access ebook0472905775open access ebook10.3998/mpub.14613105doiEYMengrdapnEYMPT2603.E455Johannßen, Dennis,author.Just language :Walter Benjamin, German-Jewish exile, and the critique of linguistic violence /Dennis Johannßen.Walter Benjamin, German-Jewish exile, and the critique of linguistic violenceAnn Arbor :University of Michigan Press,2026.©20261 online resource (1 volume) :illustrationstexttxtrdacontentcomputercrdamediaonline resourcecrrdacarrierSocial History, Popular Culture, and Politics in GermanyIncludes bibliographical references (pages 195-210) and index.Open accessJust Language revisits the Weimar period and its representation in the postwar years to explore narratives of linguistic resistance in the works of Walter Benjamin, Theodor W. Adorno, Hannah Arendt, and Paul Celan. How did this generation of exile writers grapple with their experiences of oppression and persecution? How did they create a language of resistance during the decades that prepared the Third Reich and the Shoah? Facing the devastations of World War I, the book explores how Walter Benjamin analyzed language's ability to radically break the cyclical violence of war and examines his opposition to expansionism and imperialism in Weimar education and culture. Based on Benjamin's analysis, Johannßen traces the postwar responses of Hannah Arendt and Paul Celan. While Arendt proposed strategies of metaphorical thinking to counteract the formation of totalitarianism, Celan mobilized silence as a poetic counterforce against oppression and erasure. Just Language argues that every linguistic act and practice, no matter how small or marginalized, entails the ethical task of opposing the normalization and institutionalization of political violence. By tracing how Benjamin and his interlocutors struggled against German fascism, Johannßen presents a memory-based critique of linguistic violence, opening a dialogue between German-Jewish writers and today's debates on non-discrimination, propaganda, and social justice.This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non-Commercial 4.0 International Licensehttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0Description based on information from the publisher.Benjamin, Walter,1892-1940Criticism and interpretation.RhetoricSocial aspects.Violence.Electronic books.Michigan Publishing (University of Michigan),publisher.Social History, Popular Culture, and Politics in Germanyhttps://doi.org/10.3998/mpub.146131050No-worldcatRecordExternalImportMPubCataloging
