    A Barren Landscape: In Search of an American Culture 1811 - 1861; A Memoir of Eliza Rupp , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 308min
    America in the early 1800s was a cultural blank canvas, a barren landscape awaiting texture in the form of learning, literature and the arts. Geraldine Priest creates this fictional historical memoir of Eliza Rupp, the embodiment of the many Americans striving to fill that void. The story of Eliza's family and her study of piano are interwoven with those of the leading literati, artists and educators of the day. Like so many of them, she journeys to Europe to further her studies and make her own cultural contribution to America's Barren Landscape. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Betsy Beard. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/018263/bk_acx0_018263_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    Brush Conversation in the Sinographic Cosmopolis (eBook, ePUB)
    For hundreds of years until the 1900's, in today's China, Japan, North and South Korea and Vietnam, literati of Classical Chinese or Literary Sinitic (wényán ¿¿) could communicate in writing interactively, despite not speaking each other's languages. This book outlines the historical background of, and the material conditions that led to, widespread literacy development in premodern and early modern East Asia, where reading and writing for formal purposes was conducted in Literary Sinitic. To exemplify how 'silent conversation' or 'brush-assisted conversation' is possible through writing-mediated brushed interaction, synchronously face-to-face, this book presents contextualized examples from recurrent contexts involving (i) boat drifters; (ii) traveling literati; and (iii) diplomatic envoys. Where profound knowledge of classical canons and literary works in Sinitic was a shared attribute of the brush-talkers concerned, their brush-talk would characteristically be intertwined with poetic improvisation. Being the first monograph in English to address this fascinating lingua-cultural practice and cross-border communication phenomenon, which was possibly sui generis in Sinographic East Asia, it will be of interest to students of East Asian languages and linguistics, history, international relations and diplomacy, but also (historical) pragmatics, sociolinguistics, sociology of language, scripts and writing systems, cultural and linguistic anthropology.
