Book Synopsis Musica Multiplex by : Nicolas Darbon
Download or read book Musica Multiplex written by Nicolas Darbon and published by Editions L'Harmattan. This book was released on 2007-05-01 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La seconde moitié du XXè musical a jeté les défenseurs de la Simplicité à l'assaut des combattants de la Complexité. Un courant émerge, vite attaqué pour son "néoromantisme" : la Neue Einfachheit, alors que la New Complexity signe l'éternel retour du "progrès" en art... Mais le phénomène est plus général. Il existe dans l'oeuvre musicale une dialogique, c'est-à-dire à la fois un antagonisme et une complémentarité entre l'Un et le Multiple, le Micro et le Macro, le Fini et l'Infini.
Book Synopsis L'espace, musique/philosophie by : Jean-Marc Chouvel
Download or read book L'espace, musique/philosophie written by Jean-Marc Chouvel and published by Editions L'Harmattan. This book was released on 1998 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Qu'est-ce que l'espace musical ? Depuis un certain nombre d'années, cette notion est entrée dans le vocabulaire le plus commun : on en parle d'une manière de plus en plus insistante, notamment du fait de l'évolution de la musique du XXe siècle. Cependant, à l'heure actuelle, il semble difficile de la circonscrire avec précision. L'espace (musical, mais aussi l'espace tout court) est tout, il est bien plus qu'un simple cadre ; mais il est aussi rien, synonyme du vide (et du silence) : entre ces deux définitions limites, se situent des acceptions multiples. Parce qu'ils transgressent les barrières entre " disciplines " - musique et philosophie, mais aussi musique instrumentale/électroacoustique, musicologie, ethnomusicologie, etc. -, les textes réunis dans ce recueil accentuent cette polysémie et témoignent, par leur grande diversité, de la fécondité des recherches autour de la notion d'espace musical. Le lecteur devra partir de l'idée qu'il existe plusieurs espèces d'espace et plusieurs manières de s'interroger sur l'espace : ce volume pose des jalons pour des recherches futures en scrutant l'espace dans plusieurs directions, parfois convergentes, parfois divergentes, et souvent complémentaires.
Book Synopsis Le Sens de la musique (1750-1900), vol. 2 by : Jan Willem Noldus
Download or read book Le Sens de la musique (1750-1900), vol. 2 written by Jan Willem Noldus and published by Rue d'Ulm. This book was released on 2005 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les Quatre Saisons de Vivaldi imitent-elles les bruits du monde ? Peut-on penser l'histoire de la musique comme une libération progressive de la contrainte imitative, d'un ancrage naturel ou même naturaliste ? Beethoven, Berlioz, Schumann, Wagner ou Debussy constituent-ils les étapes qui aboutissent à une musique pure ? Le romantisme a fait de la musique le paradigme de l'Art en la concevant comme un langage délivré du poids du sens, un art « abstrait » parce qu'autonome. Par la richesse savante des auteurs et des œuvres examinés, par les repères chronologiques et théoriques mis en lumière, l'anthologie proposée ici est une véritable histoire de la pensée sonore et de la pratique musicale du XVIIIe siècle au début du XXe siècle. Le mélomane, le musicologue, comme l'historien ou le philosophe de l'art, pourront évaluer d'un œil neuf les liens de l'imitation et de l'expression, la dispute de l'abstraction et les rapports que les arts entretiennent à la signification.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La musique du XXe siecle a reinvente ses materiaux, ses categories, ses langages, sa notation, ses techniques, ses formes et ses pratiques du concert. Toutes ces innovations ont non seulement transforme l'approche des oeuvres par les interpretes, mais ont aussi bouleverse leur statut et leur fonction dans le monde musical. Depuis les annees 1990, la musicologie a opere un tournant majeur de son histoire en direction de l'etude systematique de la performance musicale. Dans la lignee des performance studies, cet ouvrage interroge a nouveaux frais les concepts d'oeuvre, de performance et d'interpretation. Il examine les questions de methodologie d'analyse et, plus particulierement, l'usage des outils informatiques de visualisation et d'analyse du son pour l'analyse de l'interpretation. La diversite stylistique et la complexite d'ecriture des Dix pieces pour quintette a vent de Gyorgy Ligeti a constitue un terrain ideal pour explorer et proposer des solutions innovantes pour l'etude de l'interpretation.

It examines social, religious, and aesthetic conceptions of sound environments, what types of action or agency are attributed to them, and what bodies of knowledge exist concerning them.

Book Synopsis The Cambridge Companion to Stravinsky by : Jonathan Cross
Download or read book The Cambridge Companion to Stravinsky written by Jonathan Cross and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-07-24 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stravinsky's work spanned the major part of the twentieth century and engaged with nearly all its principal compositional developments. This Companion reflects the breadth of Stravinsky's achievement and influence in essays by leading international scholars on a wide range of topics. It is divided into three parts dealing with the contexts within which Stravinsky worked (Russian, modernist and compositional), with his key compositions (Russian, neoclassical and serial), and with the reception of his ideas (through performance, analysis and criticism). The volume concludes with an interview with the leading Dutch composer Louis Andriessen and a major re-evaluation of 'Stravinsky and Us' by Richard Taruskin.
Book Synopsis Department and Discipline by : Andrew Abbott
Download or read book Department and Discipline written by Andrew Abbott and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2017-05-19 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this detailed history of the Chicago School of Sociology, Andrew Abbott investigates central topics in the emergence of modern scholarship, paying special attention to "schools of science" and how such schools reproduce themselves over time. What are the preconditions from which schools arise? Do they exist as rigid rules or as flexible structures? How do they emerge from the day-to-day activities of academic life such as editing journals and writing papers? Abbott analyzes the shifts in social scientific inquiry and discloses the intellectual rivalry and faculty politics that characterized different stages of the Chicago School. Along the way, he traces the rich history of the discipline's main journal, the American Journal of Sociology. Embedded in this analysis of the school and its practices is a broader theoretical argument, which Abbott uses to redefine social objects as a sequence of interconnected events rather than as fixed entities. Abbott's theories grow directly out of the Chicago School's insistence that social life be located in time and place, a tradition that has been at the heart of the school since its founding one hundred years ago.
Book Synopsis Routledge International Handbook of Ignorance Studies by : Matthias Gross
Download or read book Routledge International Handbook of Ignorance Studies written by Matthias Gross and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-05-15 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once treated as the absence of knowledge, ignorance today has become a highly influential topic in its own right, commanding growing attention across the natural and social sciences where a wide range of scholars have begun to explore the social life and political issues involved in the distribution and strategic use of not knowing. The field is growing fast and this handbook reflects this interdisciplinary field of study by drawing contributions from economics, sociology, history, philosophy, cultural studies, anthropology, feminist studies, and related fields in order to serve as a seminal guide to the political, legal and social uses of ignorance in social and political life.

Download or read book Stravinsky written by Stephen Walsh and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2020-07-15 with total page 720 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Widely regarded the greatest composer of the twentieth century, Igor Stravinsky was central to the development of modernism in art. Deeply influential and wonderfully productive, he is remembered for dozens of masterworks, from The Firebird and The Rite of Spring to The Rake's Progress, but no dependable biography of him exists. Previous studies have relied too heavily on his own unreliable memoirs and conversations, and until now no biographer has possessed both the musical knowledge to evaluate his art and the linguistic proficiency needed to explore the documentary background of his life--a life whose span extended from tsarist Russia to Switzerland, France, and ultimately the United States. In this revealing volume, the first of two, Stephen Walsh follows Stravinsky from his birth in 1882 to 1934. He traces the composer's early Russian years in new and fascinating detail, laying bare the complicated relationships within his family and showing how he first displayed his extraordinary talents within the provincial musical circle around his teacher, Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakov. Stravinsky's brilliantly creative involvement with the Ballets Russes is illuminated by a sharp sense of the internal artistic politics that animated the group. Portraying Stravinsky's circumstances as an émigré in France trying to make his living as a conductor and pianist as well as a composer while beset by emotional and financial demands, Walsh reveals the true roots of his notorious obsession with money during the 1920s and describes with sympathy the nature of his long affair with Vera Sudeykina. While always respecting Stravinsky's own insistence that life and art be kept distinct, Stravinsky makes clear precisely how the development of his music was connected to his life and to the intellectual environment in which he found himself. But at the same time it demonstrates the composer's remarkably pragmatic psychology, which led him to consider the welfare of his art to be of paramount importance, before which everything else had to give way. Hence, for example, his questionable attitude toward Hitler and Mussolini, and his reputation as a touchy, unpredictable man as famous for his enmities as for his friendships. Stephen Walsh, long established as an expert on Stravinsky's music, has drawn upon a vast array of material, much of it unpublished or unavailable in English, to bring the man himself, in all his color and genius, to glowing life. Written with elegance and energy, comprehensive, balanced, and original, Stravinsky is essential reading for anyone interested in the adventure of art in our time. Praise from the British press for Stephen Walsh's The Music of Stravinsky "One of the finest general studies of the composer." --Wilfrid Mellers, composer, Times Literary Supplement "The beautiful prose of The Music of Stravinsky is itself a fund of arresting images. For those who already love Stravinsky's music, Walsh's essays on each work will bring a smile of recognition and joy at new kernels of insight. For those unfamiliar with many of the works he discusses, Walsh's commentaries are likely to whet appetites for performances of the works." --John Shepherd, Notes "This book sent me scurrying back to the scores and made me want to recommend it to other people. Above all, it is a good read." --Anthony Pople, Music and Letters
Book Synopsis Plant Behaviour and Intelligence by : A. J. Trewavas
Download or read book Plant Behaviour and Intelligence written by A. J. Trewavas and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a convincing argument for the view that whole cells and whole plants growing in competitive wild conditions show aspects of plant behaviour that can be accurately described as 'intelligent'. Trewavas argues that behaviour, like intelligence, must be assessed within the constraints of the anatomical and physiological framework of the organism in question. The fact that plants do not have centralized nervous systems for example, does not exclude intelligent behaviour. Outside the human dimension, culture is thought largely absent and fitness is the biological property of value. Thus, solving environmental problems that threaten to reduce fitness is another way of viewing intelligent behaviour and has a similar meaning to adaptively variable behaviour. The capacity to solve these problems might be considered to vary in different organisms, but variation does not mean absence. By extending these ideas into a book that allows a critical and amplified discussion, the author hopes to raise an awareness of the concept of purposive behaviour in plants.

Book Synopsis The Translation Zone by : Emily Apter
Download or read book The Translation Zone written by Emily Apter and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2011-10-16 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Translation, before 9/11, was deemed primarily an instrument of international relations, business, education, and culture. Today it seems, more than ever, a matter of war and peace. In The Translation Zone, Emily Apter argues that the field of translation studies, habitually confined to a framework of linguistic fidelity to an original, is ripe for expansion as the basis for a new comparative literature. Organized around a series of propositions that range from the idea that nothing is translatable to the idea that everything is translatable, The Translation Zone examines the vital role of translation studies in the "invention" of comparative literature as a discipline. Apter emphasizes "language wars" (including the role of mistranslation in the art of war), linguistic incommensurability in translation studies, the tension between textual and cultural translation, the role of translation in shaping a global literary canon, the resistance to Anglophone dominance, and the impact of translation technologies on the very notion of how translation is defined. The book speaks to a range of disciplines and spans the globe. Ultimately, The Translation Zone maintains that a new comparative literature must take stock of the political impact of translation technologies on the definition of foreign or symbolic languages in the humanities, while recognizing the complexity of language politics in a world at once more monolingual and more multilingual.
