Energies in the Arts
Investigating the concepts and material realities of energy coursing through the arts: a foundational text. This book investigates energies-in the plural, the energies embedded and embodied in everything under the sun- as they are expressed in the arts.With contributions from scholars and critics from the visual arts, art history, anthropology, music, literature, and the history of science, it offers the first multidisciplinary investigation of the concepts and material realities of energy coursing through the arts.Just as Douglas Kahn's earlier books helped introduce sound as a category for study in the arts, this new volume will be a foundational volume for future explorers in a largely uncharted domain.The modern concept of energy is only two hundred years old-an abstraction grounded in extraction-but this book takes a more expansive view.It opens with a clap: the sonic energies in a ceremony of the indigenous Goolarabooloo people of Australia.Other chapters explore the energies of photography; responses of artists in the early twentieth century-including Marcel Duchamp-to scientific discoveries in electricity and electromagnetism; the aestheticization of entropy in works by Hans Haacke and Robert Smithson; free-jazz musician Milford Graves's cross-cultural engagement with music, science, and spiritualism; energy field performance; and the self-generating energy of rumor and gossip as artwork.Contributors include such leading scholars as Linda Dalrymple Henderson, John Tresch, and Caroline A.Jones. Practicing artists and students of art history will find Energies in the Arts an essential work.

What is the difference between renewable energies and alternative energies?
Renewable energies are sources of energy that are naturally replenished, such as solar, wind, and hydro power. Alternative energies, on the other hand, refer to any sources of energy that are not derived from fossil fuels, including both renewable and non-renewable sources like nuclear power or biofuels. While all renewable energies are considered alternative energies, not all alternative energies are renewable.
-
What are renewable energies?
Renewable energies are sources of energy that are naturally replenished and can be used without depleting their resources. These include solar, wind, hydroelectric, geothermal, and biomass energy. Unlike fossil fuels, renewable energies produce little to no greenhouse gas emissions, making them a more sustainable and environmentally friendly option for meeting our energy needs. By harnessing these renewable sources, we can reduce our reliance on finite resources and combat climate change.
-
What are quantum energies?
Quantum energies refer to the energy levels associated with the behavior of particles at the quantum level. In quantum mechanics, particles such as electrons can exist in discrete energy states, and the energy of these states is quantized, meaning it can only take on certain specific values. These energy levels play a crucial role in determining the behavior and properties of particles at the quantum scale, and are fundamental to understanding the behavior of atoms and molecules. Quantum energies are also important in fields such as quantum computing and quantum cryptography.
-
Which renewable energies absorb CO2?
Renewable energies such as solar and wind power do not directly absorb CO2. However, they are considered clean energy sources because they do not produce greenhouse gas emissions during electricity generation, unlike fossil fuels. In contrast, carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology can be used in conjunction with renewable energy sources to capture and store CO2 emissions from other sources, such as industrial processes or power plants. This integrated approach can help reduce overall CO2 emissions and combat climate change.

Streaming Music : Practices, Media, Cultures
Streaming Music examines how the Internet has become integrated in contemporary music use, by focusing on streaming as a practice and a technology for music consumption.The backdrop to this enquiry is the digitization of society and culture, where the music industry has undergone profound disruptions, and where music streaming has altered listening modes and meanings of music in everyday life.The objective of Streaming Music is to shed light on what these transformations mean for listeners, by looking at their adaptation in specific cultural contexts, but also by considering how online music platforms and streaming services guide music listeners in specific ways.Drawing on case studies from Moscow and Stockholm, and providing analysis of Spotify, VK and YouTube as popular but distinct sites for music, Streaming Music discusses, through a qualitative, cross-cultural, study, questions around music and value, music sharing, modes of engaging with music, and the way that contemporary music listening is increasingly part of mobile, automated and computational processes.Offering a nuanced perspective on these issues, it adds to research about music and digital media, shedding new light on music cultures as they appear today.As such, this volume will appeal to scholars of media, sociology and music with interests in digital technologies.

Hiddenness, Uncertainty, Surprise : Three Generative Energies of Poetry
In this innovative series of public lectures at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, leading contemporary poets speak about the craft and practice of poetry to audiences drawn from both the city and the university.The lectures are then published in book form by "Bloodaxe", giving readers everywhere the opportunity to learn what the poets themselves think about their own subject.Jane Hirshfield examines the roles of hiddenness, uncertainty and surprise as they appear in poetry and other works of literature, in the life and psyche of the writer, and in the broader life of the culture as a whole. "Poetry and Hiddenness: Thoreau's Hound Explorations of Hiddenness" go back to the beginning of literature.There is no paradise, no place of true completion, that does not include within its walls the unknown.In this lecture, Hirshfield explores the centrality and necessity of hiddenness in our lives, and elucidates both the uses of hiddenness and hidden meanings in the work of writers ranging from Homer to Cavafy, from Auden to Jack Gilbert.Poetry and Uncertainty - To be human is to be unsure, and if the purpose of poetry is to deepen the humanness in us, poetry will be unsure as well.This lecture illuminates the ways uncertainty - in poems, and in life - allows both broadened feeling and enlarged knowledge.Translations are central to this talk, which includes poems by Izumi Shikibu, Anna Swir, Fernando Pessoa and Paul Celan. "Poetry and the Constellation of Surprise Poems" preserve their inaugural newness in part because they are like the emotions - not object, but experience, event.Poems that last are those that do not lose the power to astonish.This lecture examines surprise as a central, unrecognised fulcrum of great poems.Three poems are then looked at in detail by Hirshfield as test-cases: "Ithaka" by C.P.Cavafy, "Oysters" by Seamus Heaney and "Nothing Gold Can Stay" by Robert Frost.

What are energies in physics 2?
In physics, energy is the ability to do work. There are several different forms of energy, including kinetic energy (energy of motion), potential energy (stored energy), thermal energy (energy due to temperature), and chemical energy (energy stored in chemical bonds). These different forms of energy can be converted from one to another, and the total amount of energy in a closed system remains constant, according to the law of conservation of energy. Understanding the different forms of energy and how they interact is crucial in many areas of physics, including mechanics, thermodynamics, and electromagnetism.
