Musical Memory, Cultural Memory, and Digital Technologies: Perspectives and Analytical Approaches

Brosin, Annette 17 December 2015 (has links)
A radical transformation is taking place in today’s society with the rapid developments in digital technology. The digital dispersion of information occurs globally at an unprecedented speed, altering innumerable aspects of cultural memory to the extent that the experience of cyclical time of ritual culture is gradually replaced by the prevalence of linear time of progress and chaotic time of computerized processes. As a result, both formation and experience of meaning are changed. With that, an important question arises with regards to music: how does musical meaning transpire in contemporary culture? As a theoretical companion to my compositional work, this doctoral dissertation addresses this question from the perspective of memory. Based on the idea that musical meaning is informed through its contextualization within the manifold intersections of memory, cultural memory, and digital technology, its first three chapters explore the relationships between memory and identity, externalized memory and culture, time and meaning in music, and how these relationships can inform musical analysis. The fourth chapter provides analytical approaches to compositions by Luciano Berio, Helmut Lachenmann, John Cage, and Pierluigi Billone informed by the conclusions gained from the previous chapters. The last three chapters focus on the added complexity of the relationships between musical memory and cultural memory as impacted by digital technologies. It will be explored how digital processes affect various aspects of musical memory and musical time. Correspondingly, the final chapter offers musical analyses of compositions with live electronics by composers Brian Ferneyhough and Jonathan Harvey, and the dissertation will be concluded by an analysis of my dissertation composition #ffffff which is appended. Central to the investigation are the post-structuralist ideas of philosophers Bernard Stiegler, Jacques Derrida, Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, as well as theories regarding cultural memory brought forth by Jan and Aleida Assmann. In order to apply these concepts to an examination of music, they will be reconciled with the musical philosophy of Gunnar Hindrichs, the musical semiotics of Jean-Jacques Nattiez, the cultural semiotics of Roland Posner, and the critical media studies of Wolfgang Ernst. / Graduate / 0413 / annette.mailbox@gmx.net

Deletion and digital memory : User study of mobile application “Delete by Haiku”

Motiejunaite, Indra January 2012 (has links)
This study aims to analyse the interconnection between human memory and digital media technology, and its relation to forgetting and deletion. The main focus area is related to short messages (SMS) as a form of digital memory and mobile application Delete by Haiku that assists the user in creating poetry out of stored messages. The reception analysis approach was chosen and individual in-depth interview method was combined with focus group interview. The collected data regarding human memory and media indicates similarities between theoretical claims and respondents’ views; memory could be perceived as a narrative, storytelling, fading away. Informants’ relation to memorabilia and their deleting practices are very dependent on the personal and professional characteristics. Besides, deleting practices could be related to organization of a physical space. Delete by Haiku app could be seen as an invitation to engage into playful process of creation through deletion, however mostly for the people attached to memorabilia.

As prÃticas educativas digitais nos museus virtuais. / EDUCATIONAL PRACTICES IN THE DIGITAL VIRTUAL MUSEUMS

Karla Colares Vasconcelos 28 March 2014 (has links)
CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeiÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior / A pesquisa investigou os museus virtuais como uma ferramenta didÃtica nas prÃticas educativas digitais, e a sua contribuiÃÃo para a construÃÃo da memÃria e como fontes digitais para a aquisiÃÃo de conhecimentos. Para desenvolver esse objetivo utilizamos a pesquisa qualitativa e como estratÃgia de investigaÃÃo o estudo de caso porque possibilita analisar um fenÃmeno individual ao proporcionar uma visÃo de outros fenÃmenos semelhantes (YIN, 2005). Como a pesquisa aconteceu em ambientes virtuais, a etnografia virtual foi a base para a investigaÃÃo nos ambientes da Internet. Foram desenvolvidos os conceitos de Cibercultara; MemÃria Digital; PrÃticas Educativas Digitais e Museologia. De posse dessa clareza, fizemos o levantamento dos museus virtuais cadastrados no Instituto Brasileiro de Museus - IBRAM e sequencialmente, classificamos os museus virtuais brasileiros e analisamos de acordo com a possibilidade didÃtica de cada um deles. A coleta dos dados foi realizada por meio de diÃrio de bordo digital, o qual respondeu a seguinte questÃo: Como o fenÃmeno dos museus virtuais à considerado um aporte da memÃria digital social e podem ser uma ferramenta didÃtica nas prÃticas educativas digitais? Os recursos utilizados nesta pesquisa foram: a exploraÃÃo bibliogrÃfica, documento digital (imagem, vÃdeos, textos, links) e o diÃrio de bordo digital. Os resultados encontrados nos possibilitou uma reflexÃo e aprendizagem significativa para conhecermos e compreendermos o fenÃmeno educativo no Ãmbito das tecnologias digitais de comunicaÃÃo e informaÃÃo que estÃo alocados no ciberespaÃo. Dessa forma, podemos entender como essas tecnologias nos auxiliam na perspectiva da propagaÃÃo da memÃria, seja ela coletiva ou social, e a migraÃÃo das informaÃÃes â lembranÃas- para as nuvens. A relevÃncia do estudo da memÃria foi apresentada no decorrer da pesquisa, que foi encontrado um museu que guarda a memÃria social atravÃs de falas de pessoas comuns que podem registrar a sua histÃria no museu. Assim percebemos que de uma forma direta as PrÃticas Educativas Digitais se fazem presentes neste ambiente museual. Os museus virtuais ainda estÃo criando a sua identidade dentro do contexto pelo o qual ele à definido. à por meio de tentarmos compreender o papel do museu virtual para a educaÃÃo que concentramos esforÃos para a realizaÃÃo dessa pesquisa cientÃfica que ajude aos pesquisadores o conhecimento cientÃfico a todos que necessitam. / The research investigated the virtual museum as a teaching tool in digital educational practices and their contribution to the construction of memory and how digital sources for acquiring knowledge. To develop this goal we use the qualitative research strategy and how the case study research because it allows analyzing an individual phenomenon by providing an overview of similar phenomena (Yin, 2005). As the research took place in virtual environments, virtual ethnography was the basis for investigation in Internet environments. The concepts of Cibercultara were developed; Digital memory; Digital and Museology Educational Practices. Armed with this clarity, we did a survey of registered virtual museums in Brazilian Institute of Museums - IBRAM and sequentially classify Brazilians virtual museums and analyzed according to the didactic potential of each. Data collection was performed by daily digital board, which answered the question: How does the phenomenon of virtual museums is considered a social contribution of digital memory and can be a teaching tool in digital educational practices? The resources used in this research were: a bibliographic exploration, digital document (image, video, text, links) and the daily digital board. The results allowed us to reflect and meaningful learning to know and understand the phenomenon of education within the digital communication and information technologies that are allocated in cyberspace. Thus, we can understand how these technologies help us in view of the spread of memory, be it collective or social and migration of information - memories - to the clouds. The relevance of the study of memory was presented during the research, it was found that a museum guard social memory through the speech of ordinary people who can record their history in the museum. Thus we realize that in a direct way the Digital Educational Practices are present in this museual environment. Virtual museums are still creating their identity within the context by which it is defined. It is by trying to understand the role of the virtual museum for the education focus efforts toward this scientific research that helps researchers to scientific knowledge to all who need.
