à propos du livre

DATING & SEX: THE THeory of mutual self-destruction

Edité par amir said

La doctrine de la destruction mutuelle assurée (MAD) est une analogie et un guide appropriés pour des rencontres, le sexe et les types de liens que nous formons à partir de ces relations interpersonnelles. La raison pour laquelle certains couples restent ensemble (ou pourquoi certains liens durent) et pourquoi d’autres finissent par se séparer (et pourquoi certains liens s’effondrent) témoigne souvent d’une question d’auto-préservation. Les personnes en relation — sérieuses ou éphémères — restent ou quittent ces relations sur la base de ce que Said appelle la « théorie de l'autodestruction mutuelle » (TMSD). En tant que terme générique, TMSD constitue une excellente voie pour explorer la nature des rencontres, des relations sexuelles et la vie de couple.

Dating & Sex: The Theory of Mutual Self-Destruction est une anthologie d'essais écrits par un certain nombre d'écrivains différents de tous horizons. Edité par Amir Said, cette collection profonde et approfondie offre de nombreux aperçus des relations, des rencontres modernes et du sexe.

Ce qui est dedans dating & Sex: The theory of mutual self-destruction?

First, you should know: This is figuratively and literally a Big Book!

The Art of Sampling, 3rd Edition illustrates the different artistic, legal, and social questions related to music sampling as well as the continuum that sampling serves in Western popular music. To properly engage in a discussion about sampling and copyright law, one must possess four things: 1) A knowledge of the associated histories of the hip hop/rap music tradition; 2) A solid understanding of beatmaking, the chief compositional process of hip hop/rap music; 3) A keen awareness of the history, purpose, and rules of copyright law; and 4) A proper understanding of the concepts of originality, creativity, and authorship. There’s no excuse for sample-based musicians to remain in the dark about copyright law; and there’s no excuse for copyright scholars to disregard the compositional complexities of sampling. So here’s what I cover in The Art of Sampling, 3rd Edition:

• The early history of hip hop/rap music: How multiple art forms coalesced into one culture; and how hip hop was built upon a “culture of sampling”

• The history of beatmakinng, the chief compositional process of hip hop/rap music, which is inextricably linked to the art of sampling

• The mechanics of the art sampling, which includes an comprehensive examination of how sampling is done in the hip hop/rap music tradition

• Detailed instruction with incredible insights for sample-based beatmakers (producers) and other musicians at the beginner, intermediate, and advanced level

• An comprehensive examination of the story of rhythm in Black music

• The history of United States copyright law, which includes an examination of how eighteenth-century concepts of originality, creativity, and authorship helped shape American copyright law, and how it continues to influence our modern notions of creativity

• The criticism surrounding sampling, and the role that bias and privilege plays in this area

• The implications that sampling holds for copyright, including an in-depth and unmatched analysis of the most important copyright infringement lawsuits involving sampling.

• An examination of sample rights vs. sample clearance.

When Will The Art of Sampling, 3rd Edition be Published?

The Art of Sampling, 3rd Edition is currently set for publication on September 5, 2023.  However, to make this date and reach our distribution and publicity goals, the book must be finished four months in advance.  So technically, the book needs to be finished and sent out by May 5, 2023.  Kickstarter will help us stay on schedule! Backers will also be the first to receive the book, plus receive rewards that won’t be available anywhere else.

What's in the Budget?

I’m going to get The Art of Sampling, 3rd Edition into more hands than ever before. While digital books have have gained broad acceptance in the past 10 years, hard copy still remains king, as most readers still prefer to read and own a printed book.  Thus, the single biggest cost will be printing.  The initial print run will be 10,000 copies, per industry standard for a full media campaign.

Per Publishers Weekly: 

For serious large-scale reviews and media coverage, for instance Publishers Weekly, a book must typically have a print run of 10,000 copies. Given its sheer size, I want to make The Art of Sampling, 3rd Edition as affordable as possible once it's available. But the costs of final production and printing are high. That’s where you come in. We need YOU to help make this project a reality.

Money will be used specifically for:

• Copyediting

• Typesetting

• Indexing

• Proofreading (at least three rounds, three separate proofers)

• Final production

• Printing (the single biggest cost)

challenges

“Aie confiance, crois en moi” Le plus gros risque, c’est qu’après ça, vous ne vouliez plus sortir de la jungle :) Bon, et puisqu’il faut en mettre d’autres : - Rédaction : le risque existe que la rédaction prenne plus de temps que prévu - Style : le risque existe que la patte du lion soit trop lourde - Contenu : le risque existe que certaines personnes ne soient pas d’accord - Compréhension : le risque existe que les paraboles d’Oussama soient trop impénétrables pour le commun des mortels

With the sheer scope and size of The Art of Sampling, 3rd Edition, the biggest challenge will be that the printing takes more time than planned. But there is nothing that stands in our way of meeting this challenge once we have the funds in hand. We have an actionable plan, a realistic timeline, and – most importantly – the in-house expertise to get the job done.

Thank you for your support!
