Dentro del contexto de los estudios literarios actuales, las figuras más reconocidas de la eslavística rusa son Mikhail Mijáilovich Bakhtin (1895–1975) e Iuri Mijáilovich Lotman (1922–1993). Por una parte, ambos han sido gestores de críticas profundas a los llamados “grandes metarrelatos modernos”, entre ellos el formalismo ruso, el marxismo, la lingüística tradicional, etc.; y, por otra, han elaborado nuevas concepciones teóricas que han sido capaces de transformar, de manera radical y definitiva, la forma de ver y estudiar tanto la literatura como el arte. En este estudio, por tanto, se redescubre a un brillante pensador como Bakhtin y se conoce a un relevante semiótico como Lotman, teórico prácticamente desconocido en los círculos académicos chilenos. La idea fundamental de esta tesis es dar cuenta del desarrollo histórico y del cambio epistemológico producido en la época posmoderna, desde el punto de vista de las contribuciones realizadas tanto por Bakhtin como por Lotman a los estudios literarios. De esta manera, se muestra, a través de un estudio descriptivo–comparativo, que dicha importancia radica en que ambos pensadores permiten la constitución de una línea de pensamiento que devela, en primer término, las transformaciones producidas en la época posmoderna y, en segundo término, los cambios acontecidos en la teoría literaria durante el siglo XX.

The three recitals consisted of performances of original eighteenth, nineteenth and twentieth century solo works for trombone with the exception of Lyric Suite for Euphonium and Piano by Donald White, Divertimento for Trumpet, Trombone and Piano by Boris Blacher, and Dialogue and Dance for Trombone and Tuba by Newel Kay Brown. The premiere performance of Straight As An Arrow for B-flat-F Trombone and Prepared Tape by Ronn Cox and Dean Crocker was also included. After presenting a brief biography and discussing Gordon Jacob's (1895-1984) stylistic influences, the lecture continues with a Tonal, Motivic and Formal analysis of his three works for solo tenor trombone: Concerto for Trombone and Orchestra, Concertino for Trombone and Wind Orchestra, and the Trombone Sonata. Tonality, modality, polymodality and free association of pitches are elements that are present at one time or another in these compositions. Jacob's inclination for using the folk song style is evident in his writing, especially in the slow movements. Introductions, transition areas, and secondary themes, with tonally ambiguous harmonies and instrumental concepts of melodies, create a tension that is released by the return to tonality in the areas that follow. Treatment of rhythmic and melodic motives helps produce the special quality found in Gordon Jacob's compositions. Over half the themes in the works being investigated are built around motivic development. Neoclassicism results from the use of forms rooted in earlier centuries, but the choice of key centers gives these forms a new life. Jacob's composition of absolute music, as well as his use of the older compositional techniques of parallel harmonies and slow introductions, reflect neoclassical practices. The performance of Jacob's pieces is facilitated by his use of musical materials idiomatic to the instrument.

The purpose of this thesis is to illustrate and compare, through a representative historical sampling of music, the concepts of tonality evolved by Paul Hindemith in his Craft of Musical Composition, Vol. I; and Heinrich Schenker in his Tonwille, MusijNkeael ische Theorien Fantasien, Das jeisterwerk in der Musik, and Per Freie Satz.5 When feasible, these two concepts will be compared with the conventional concept.

Paul Hindemith's compositions are, for the most part, contrapuntal; and since the construction of such a traditionally contrapuntal medium as the fugue was brought to such a high degree of musical expression in the fugal writing of J. S. Bach, it is the purpose of this thesis to compare Hindemith's fugal style with the standard set by J. S. Bach.

Leo Sowerby is an American composer who has, in the writer's opinion, made a fine contribution to the field of modern music. This fact will be substantiated in the following study, the purpose of which will be to examine and to analyze to some extent the works of this eminent Chicago composer, teacher, organist, and choir-master. This study will-be of particular interest to students of the organ, for it concerns itself chiefly with the organ works of Sowerby, and to students of composition and modern harmonic trends, for the study high lights the composer's characteristic procedures in these two directions.

This study considers only one aspect of music of the twentieth century--that of dissonance. Through an analysis of harmonic tension in the twelve fugues of the "Ludus Tonalis" by Paul Hindemith, a two-fold significance is notable. First, consideration of the broad tendencies of modernism is necessary. second, with Hindemith as a chosen representative of certain aspects of the twentieth century style, the study attempts to show more specifically certain characteristics of the composer himself in the use and treatment of dissonance, one of the more technical features of style in modern music.

El Diccionario de Peruanismos publicado en 1884 por Pedro Paz Soldán y Unanue, cuyo seudónimo es Juan de Arona, es una obra clásica para la literatura, en especial para la lexicografía peruana pues es el primer documento de este tipo que reúne vocablos típicos del Perú y de América, consignando sus significados, así como aquellos derivados del quechua o los que fueron inventados por los criollos, entre otros. Este documento surge en medio de un movimiento cultural e intelectual muy grande como producto no solo del largo interés de su autor por temas filológicos y lexicográficos, sino de la toma de conciencia de su pertenencia a una tradición lexicográfica “que se inicia en Hispanoamérica en la segunda mitad del siglo XIX y que dará pie al desarrollo posterior de la lexicografía” (Huisa, 2003:88). Esto porque además del suyo, en Latinoamérica están los diccionarios publicados por Rufino José Cuervo, Apuntaciones críticas sobre el lenguaje bogotano –1876 - (Acosta, 2004:4), y Zorobabel Rodríguez, Diccionario de chilenismos -1875- (Haensch, 1994:47), que generaron un intenso debate en torno a los conceptos de “provincialismo”, “americanismos” y los demás –ismos, como chilenismo, peruanismo, cubanismo, etcétera. Este debate se enmarca dentro de un periodo posterior a las guerras de independencia, en el que primaba la preocupación por el estado del idioma español, en especial, el español americano, en cuanto al mantenimiento de su pureza o simplemente por su capacidad de responder a necesidades comunicativas específicas de sus usuarios. / Tesis
