Leadership and Authority in China: 1895–1978
Lawrence Sullivan, Lawrence R SullivanBOOKLeadership and authority in…2012Cited by: 1
This volume presents elite conflicts and political controversies in China from 1895 to 1978 as rooted in two diametrically opposed visions of leadership and political authority: a radical, charismatic model that instills absolute authority in the single leader whose "will" guides the polity and whose "word" is the basis of policy formulation, versus an institutional model in which authority inheres in organization and where “collective” leadershi…
Political Theologies: Public Religions in a Post-Secular World
Hent De Vries, Lawrence SullivanBOOKPolitical theologies2007
What has happened to religion in its present manifestations? In recent years, Enlightenment secularization, as it appeared in the global spread of structures that relegate the sacred to a private sphere, seems suddenly to have foundered. Unexpectedly, it has discovered its own parochialism-has discovered, indeed, that secularization may never have taken place at all. With the return of the religious, in all aspects of contemporary social, politic…

Song and Dance: Native American Religions and American History
Open AccessLawrence E Sullivan, Lawrence SullivanARTICLEReligion and American Culture A…1994
What are some recent works on Native American religions that make good additions to courses on American History? With this question, the editors framed their charge for this review. This is a good moment to pose such a question because of the recent upsurge in publishing on the subject of Native American religious life. The treatment of some recent books is outlined in three stages that cover three ways of including Native American religions in c…
Arthur Schnitzler's The Bridal Veil at the American Laboratory Theatre
Open AccessLawrence Sullivan, Lawrence R SullivanARTICLEDance Research Journal1993References: 2
Whatever the particular intentions of the playwright, Arthur Schnitzler's Der Schleier der Pierrette (The Veil of Pierrette ), a ballet-pantomime first performed in Dresden, January 22, 1910, with music by Ernst von Dohnányi, became, in the first year of its composition, a vehicle of avant-garde experimentalists on the Russian theatrical scene. In October 1910, Vsevolod Meyerhold used Schnitzler's ballet-pantomime for his own avant-garde interest…

Nikita Baliev's Le Théâtre de la Chauve-Souris: An Avant-Garde Theater
Open AccessLawrence Sullivan, Lawrence R SullivanARTICLEDance Research Journal1987Cited by: 1
Though scarcely remembered today, the Théâtre de la Chauve-Souris (The Bat Theater) in its heyday (1908–1943) was an internationally known musical theater under the direction of Nikita Baliev. Founded in Moscow in early 1908, it eventually became, because of the exigencies of history, a touring theater, a company equally at home in Paris, London, New York, and elsewhere. Despite its enormous popularity among general audiences, the Chauve-Souris w…

Les Noces: The American Premiere
Open AccessLawrence Sullivan, Lawrence R SullivanARTICLEDance Research Journal1981Cited by: 1References: 1
More than fifty years have passed since the American premiere of Stravinsky's Les Noces , which opened on April 25, 1929 at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York City. Generally overshadowed by the Bronislava Nijinska version (Paris, 1923) and by the later Jerome Robbins version (New York, 1965), the 1929 production presented a significantly different interpretation of the Stravinsky piece. The choreographer was Elizaveta Anderson-Ivantzova (1…
