Topic: Moralia


In the News (Fri 17 Feb 12)

  
  Plutarch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Moralia was composed first, while writing the Lives occupied much of the last two decades of Plutarch's own life.
Some editions of the Moralia include several works now known to be pseudepigrapha: among these are the Lives of the Ten Orators (biographies of the Ten Orators of ancient Athens, based on Caecilius of Calacte), The Doctrines of the Philosophers, and On Music.
Ralph Waldo Emerson and the Transcendentalists were greatly influenced by the Moralia (Emerson wrote a glowing introduction to the five volume 19th century edition of his Moralia).

 Chihei Hatakeyama: Minima Moralia - PopMatters Music Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
In its entirety, Minima Moralia is drenched in a pastoral onomatopoeia—“Bonfire on the Field”, “Starlight Reflecting on the Surface of the River”, and “Granular Haze” are just three examples—that leaves little to the imagination.
Worth noting for its departure from the reigning symmetrical calm, “Inside of the Pocket” is easily the disc’s anomaly by introducing faint glimpses of melody and harmonic structure; it’s also the shortest piece at four and a half minutes and sounds more akin more akin to Tortoise, albeit at that band’s most introspective.
That said, appreciation for Minima Moralia as a whole will exist in a direct relationship with individual listeners’ levels of patience: this is most definitely not music for short attention spans.

 GRAND GUIGNOL - FIFA
The project relates to memory-of both cinematic images and of experiencing the works of Robert Lee-as well as to forgetting, to the transience of the moments depicted or recollected.
Minima Moralia owes its spellbinding power to the disquietingly mimetic faces and to a montage that engenders formal and narrative associations between the diverse segments, lending the work a fluidity, sensuality and dreamlike quality.
The duplication of images and return to faces or spaces that become familiar through repetition and reprise combine to create an effect of strangeness, of déjà-vu, of reverie and fascination.

 Plutarch : Moralia - list of translations
Plutarch's Moralia is a miscellaneous collection of essays and treatises - in fact, everything that Plutarch wrote apart from his Parallel Lives.
Plutarch wrote a lot (the modern Loeb translation of the Moralia runs to fourteen volumes) and it can be difficult to hunt down a small section in the mass of his works.
However these volumes were themselves merely a corrected version of an earlier translation, made by "forty or fifty university men" in 1684-94 - a remarkable early exercise in collaborative translation, even if their efforts were "careless and vicious in parts", as Emerson says.

 Gregory the Great - On Biblical Exegesis
In a dedicatory letter prefixed in the Moralia, Gregory explained his methods of Biblical interpretation.
The Moralia was intensively studied in the Middle Ages as a model of interpretation and thinking.
More literally, the verse says: The letter instructs about what things were done; Allegory teaches us what we should believe; the moral level shows what to do; the anagogical signals aspects of the (spiritual and future) realm toward which we are directed.

 Minima Moralia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Summary: This is an original English translation of Theodor Adorno's classic work of critical theory, Minima Moralia.
Translator’s notes: The existing English translation of Minima Moralia, by E.P. Jephcott, is good, but stylistically somewhat dated.
The goal of this version is to render the pungency and power of the original text in contemporary prose (the alternative is teaching the intricacies of mid-20th century academic English to 21st century students).

 chihei hatakeyma, minima moralia
At its most simple 'Minima Moralia' is the noise of guitar and vibraphone fed through a laptop and given a makeover by Hatakeyama.
At its most emotional 'Minima Moralia' is a gorgeous, life-affirming album that will have you living each day as if it were a snow-draped feature film.
Flecked in glitter and with a velvet sound that can't help but seduce the ears, Hatakeyama opens through 'Bonfire On The Field'; wherein a cloud of diffused soundscape encroaches upon twinkling percussion and ill-defined field recordings, with the resultant eight minutes both joyfully anonymous and bursting with character.

Chihei Hatakeyama concentrated on the textures of sound in creating Minima Moralia, consciously avoiding the use of electronic sounds; instead using sound fragments made by guitars and vibraphone he played himself.
The contention between the analog sound sources, digital processing and the musician's choices are what give Minima Moralia its positive, warm, and physical presence.
