some soundwalks (Denton, TX) is an audio portrait of the Denton square - the area in downtown Denton bordered by the streets Oak, Hickory, Elm, and Locust. For three months (June - August, 2012), I went on soundwalks in this area, recording the soundscape and collecting material from each hour of the twenty-four hours of the day. The resulting work is presented as a layered montage of this gathered material that takes the listener on a twenty-four hour journey through the Denton square in about eighteen minutes. Ultimately, this sonic portrait of the Denton square is my subjective reaction to the daily soundscape of an area of Denton that embodies a strong sense of tradition combined with a newer presence of a growing population.

Philosophiae Doctor - PhD / This study approaches the field of military history with approaches to the study of sound in order to interrogate the concept of war that underpins military historiography as a disciplinary formation. It delineates the notion of the phonographic attitude with which to think about the ways in which technology, war, and the senses coalesce in broader historical writing about war, colonialism, and apartheid in South Africa. In so doing, it suggests that an attention to what it calls the warring motifs is necessary if a reorientation of a reading of war and apartheid away from a politics of deadness is to be achieved. It does so through a methodological approach that attends to various objects in South African historiography that may be attended to differently through an emphasis on the sensorial. These include the state-sponsored Walkman bomb that killed ANC lawyer Bheki Mlangeni, a record produced by artist Roger Lucey in memory of the death of activist Lungile Tabalaza, the supposed whistle or shout that led the indigenous Khoikhoi to victory over the Portuguese in 1510, a lithographic print by William Kentridge named after a radio programme for troops engaged in South Africa’s border war, the bell of sunken troopship SS Mendi, and the first recording of the hymn ‘Nkosi Sikelel’ iAfrika’ by intellectual and key figure in a history of nationalism in South Africa, Sol T Plaatje.

Toute orthographe est mixte, elle fait coexister deux principes : le principe phonographique, qui consiste en la transcription des phonèmes, et le principe sémiographique, en vertu duquel une unité graphique renvoie à du sens. Les analyses actuelles des spécialistes de l’écriture tendent à réévaluer la dimension sémiographique de l’orthographe. L’objectif est de faire apparaitre l’importance de ce versant de l’orthographe. Il s’agit d’établir la sémiographie des graphèmes vocaliques eau, au, ein, ain, ai et ei du français, en dégageant leurs valeurs logogrammique, morphogrammique grammaticale et morphogrammique lexicale, cette dernière valeur comportant deux aspects, d’une part, la valeur sémantique des graphèmes, d’autre part, la régularité des séries lexicales dans lesquelles apparaissent les mots comportant le graphème étudié. Pour cela, nous constituons des inventaires aussi vastes que possible de leurs occurrences lexicales et grammaticales. / Every orthography is a dual object, it combines two principles : the phonographic principle, which consists of the transcription of the language’s sounds, and the semiographic principle, in accordance with which a graphic unit refers to sense. Writing specialists’ current analyses tend to reevaluate the orthography’s semiographical dimension. The aim of this essay is to make appear the importance of the semiography of the vocalic graphemes ei, ein, ai, ain, au, eau, seeking their logogrammic, grammatical morphogrammic and lexical morphogrammic part, the morphogrammic part making appear the graphemes’ semantic part and the lexical series of the studied graphemes. We form a corpus as wide as possible of their lexical and grammatical occurrences.

Todavia, uma parte desse repertório veio acompanhada por juízos negativos de alguns críticos musicais, que a consideravam como expressão da "decadência" do samba, sobretudo da canção engajada da década anterior. A presente dissertação buscou estudar esse segmento do samba através da produção musical de Antonio Carlos e Jocafi, Benito di Paula e Martinho da Vila. Procurou-se perceber de que maneira esses artistas se posicionaram no campo musical daquele período, que tipo de relação estabeleceram com o repertório hegemônico, quais referenciais orientavam a legitimidade dos produtos musicais, e de que maneira sua produção se relaciona com as transformações políticas, econômicas e culturais que aconteceram na transição da década de 1960 para a de 1970 / Abstract: After having experienced some drop in popularity in the late 1960s, samba reappeared with great strength in the music of the 1970s, revealing a series of new artists and constantly appearing on the charts of the period. However, a portion of this repertoire has been accompanied by negative judgments of some music critics, who considered it as an expression of samba "decadence", primarily the engaged song of the previous decade. This dissertation aimed to study this segment of samba through the musical production of Antonio Carlos and Jocafi, and Benito di Paula Martinho da Vila. We sought to understand how these artists positioned themselves in the musical field of that period, what kind of relationship they established with the hegemonic repertoire, which references guided the legitimacy of music products, and how its production was related to the political, economic and cultural changes that occurred in the transition from the 1960s to the 1970s / Mestrado / Fundamentos Teoricos / Mestre em Música

Cette thèse propose de passer en revue les modalités de la représentation écrite de l’oralité. L’écrit littéraire sert de matériau à la théorisation.La problématique – comment l’écrit représente-t-il l’oral ? – est d’abord située et reformulée dans le cadre de la linguistique de la parole (I). Les rapports entre oralité et scripturalité sont ensuite étudiés sous trois angles. L’angle biotechnologique compare la matérialité et l’affordance des signaux graphiques et des signaux acoustiques (II 1). L’examen sémiotique reconnaît dans le français écrit un système dit phonographique dont la fonction est de représenter l’expression des signes du français oral. Sont analysées alors les relations entre les systèmes de signes impliqués, la diversité des actualisations possibles du système phonographique (effets de voix), ainsi que diverses sémiotiques analogiques (II 2). On étudie ensuite le rôle de la prosodie dans la lecture. La position adoptée est la suivante : bien qu’elle soit facultative dans l’activité de lecture, la prosodie est spécialement sollicitée par des écrits qu’on peut caractériser linguistiquement. L’interprétation prosodique apporte à ces écrits un surcroît de signification en même temps qu’il produit un mode spécifique de représentation de l’oral appelé effet prosodique (II 3). L’angle sémantique est esquissé finalement : il conduit à dégager deux modalités de représentation supplémentaire. Pour la première, l’oral se situe sur le plan sémantico-référentiel de l’expression écrite (écrire à propos d’oral) ; pour la seconde, l’oral est un extérieur discursif modalisant le dire écrit : l’écrit est reconnu comme énoncé à la manière de l’oral (effet de style oral). / This PhD thesis attempts to review the modalities of orality in written representation. Literary writings act as the material for theorization. First of all, the thesis statement – how does writing represent oral – is situated and then, reformulated within the frame of linguistique de la parole (the linguistic field of speech) (I). The connections between orality and writing are then studied under three angles. The biotechnological angle compares the materiality and the affordance of graphic signs and acoustic signals (II 1). A semiotic examination acknowledges, in French, a phonographical system whose function is to represent the expression of French oral signs. Thus, the relationships between the systems of implicated signs, the diversity of possible actualisations of the phonographic system (voice effects), as well as various analogical semiotics are analysed (II 2). Furthermore, the role of prosody is studied within reading. The stand taken is the following : even though it is optional during a reading activity, prosody is especially sought-after by linguistically characterised writings. The prosodic interpretation brings to these writings a surge of signification while producing a specific mode of oral representation called the prosodic effects (II 3). The semantic angle is finally drawn : it leads to two additional modalities of representation. For the first part, speech is located on the semantic and referential plan of the written expression (writing about speech); as for the second part, spoken language is a discursive exteriority : writing is recognised as an oral-like utterance (oral-like effect).

On appelle installation sonore une forme d'art multimédia dans laquelle l'accent est mis en particulier sur l’aspect sonore, sans pour autant ignorer toutes les autres composantes qui constituent l’installation. Bien qu’elle soit une forme classée parmi les arts plastiques, l’installation sonore se rapporte plutôt à l’art sonore. En effet, l’art sonore se caractérise par la prééminence de l’usage du son comme moyen d’expression et comme préoccupation artistique (le grand nombre de manifestations, de blogs et de festivals d’art sonore en témoignent). Parmi les pratiques expérimentales ayant trait à l’art sonore, une nette préférence va à l’installation sonore et il semblerait qu’elle devienne une forme d’art en soi. On peut s’interroger sur la possibilité d’envisager ceci de cette manière. Dans cette thèse, il faut comprendre l’installation sonore comme une pratique artistique hétérogène, interdisciplinaire, expérimentale et hybride, pratique qu’on retrouve dans l’installation artistique en général. Cependant, on peut constater que des préoccupations reviennent souvent : la visualisation du son, la perception de l’espace à travers le sonore, l’écoute et sa relation avec la position et le déplacement du corps de l’auditeur. Afin de contribuer à une plus grande compréhension d’une culture sonore contemporaine qui est largement partagée, le propos de cette thèse est d’étudier les divers domaines auxquels l’installation sonore appartient et ceci à partir de plusieurs points de vue : historique, esthétique, culturel et médiatique. / Sound installation is an inter media-based art form that draws particular attention to the component of sound, although not at the expense of its visual underpinnings. Considering that it is a form of art, sound installation refers to sound art, an area that requires separate recognition and independence among existing art forms, due to the use of sound as a means of expression as well as the current artistic preoccupation with it (as reflected in the growing number of sound art demonstrations, blogs and festivals).Among the different experimental practices within sound art, sound installation is clearly favored, thus it would appear that it is becoming an art form in itself. Could it be seen in this way? In this thesis, Sound Installation is viewed as a current art form connected to “Art installation”, a field with its own characteristics: heterogeneous, multi-disciplinary, experimental and hybrid. However, as a singular art form, it is a source of insight, which emerges repeatedly and is amplified by the exploration of both sound and sound perception; for example, sound imaging, the perception of space through sound, listening and its relationship to the position of the listener’s body in space. The purpose of this thesis is to approach the field in which Sound Installation belongs from different perspectives such as history, aesthetics, culture and media. With the question of how to conceptualize sound components always in mind, we intend to contribute to the understanding of an ever –growing contemporary culture of sound.

Este estudo tem por objetivo examinar a rede de relações músico-sociais que se estabeleceu com a instalação da fábrica de discos “Casa A Electrica” no Rio Grande do Sul em 1914, no que se refere à circulação musical regional, nacional e internacional. Através de uma etnografia histórica, com base na imprensa, crônicas de memorialistas e literatos modernistas, documentos judiciais e na escuta dos fonogramas, reflito sobre os modos de produção e recepção das primeiras gravações mecânicas realizadas em Porto Alegre. Valendo-me de referenciais teóricos da Etnomusicologia que exploram a “escuta” como uma das formas de compreensão da modernidade e sua incorporação na descrição etnográfica, teço proposições entre instituições, ideias e práticas que acionaram o mundo audível de diferentes maneiras e valorizaram novos constructos de audição. Tais proposições giram em torno do cenário urbano local, onde se inscrevem as subjetividades envolvidas na escuta e no fazer musical moderno e suas relações com a tecnologia de reprodução sonora. Assim, componho um quadro dos cruzamentos de experiências de músicos, intérpretes, ouvintes e marcas estéticas das gravações musicais, procurando apresentar diversas vozes e percepções na compreensão das mediações entre a escuta e a transmissão musical entre diferentes agentes sociais no espaço-tempo moderno e como esse processo aparentemente localizado colabora no avanço dos entendimentos sobre as práticas musicais do Brasil no contexto da modernidade. / This study aims to examine the network of social musical relationship who settled with the installation of the record factory “A Casa Electrica” in Rio Grande do Sul in 1914 with regard to the international, national and regional musical circulation. Through an historical ethnography based on the press, chronicles of memoirs and literary modernists, court documents and based also on listening of phonograms, I reflect on the modes of production and reception of the first mechanical recordings held in Porto Alegre. Based on Ethnomusicology theoretical frameworks, which explore the “listening” as a way of understanding modernity and its incorporation in ethnographic description, I weave propositions among institutions, ideas and practices, which triggered the audible world in different ways and valued new constructs of audition. Such propositions are involved in a local urban scene, where the subjectivities involved in listening and in modern music making, and its relationships with the technology of sound reproduction are inscribed. Thus, I compose a picture of the crossing experiments of musicians, performers, listeners and aesthetic marks of the recorded music, trying to present diverse voices and perceptions in the understanding of the mediations between the listening and the musical transmission among different social agents in the modern space-time. I also try to show how this apparently located process collaborates in the advancement of the understanding about the musical practices in Brazil in the modernity context.

Partindo da hipótese de que em tempos de globalização da economia e mundialização da cultura, este mercado se comporta e se transforma de modo diverso, investiga-se quais são as características estruturais de tais transformações e como agem os diferentes agentes sociais que disputam este espaço. Para isso, considerando a configuração destas gravadoras enquanto majors, ou seja, companhias que dominam a produção e distribuição de música gravada no mundo, a posição que passam a ocupar daí em diante, explora-se como se organizam frente aos desafios impostos pela economia global - seus pertencimentos a corporações transnacionais, os usos das tecnologias digitais em seus processos produtivos, o incremento da concorrência em escala mundial, etc. -, e, de que forma, conservam, ou não, os mecanismos de reprodução deste campo, no qual elas mesmas são fundadoras dos seus princípios de construção. Por meio de uma pesquisa empírica qualitativa realizada nas quatro majors - entrevistas, depoimentos pessoais, fontes estatísticas, relatórios técnicos ou ainda, publicações especializadas -, buscou-se captar a lógica de funcionamento deste universo particular das indústrias culturais, a partir do modo como aqueles que se encontram em posições dominantes se engajam, justificam e dão sentido às suas práticas e ações. / Abstract: This research analyzes the operation of four transnational record labels that operate in the Brazilian phonographic market, as of the establishment of the compact disc as a support pattern for the reproduction and sale of recorded music. Assuming that in times of economic and cultural globalization, this market behaves and becomes so diverse, we investigate what the structural features of such changes are and how the different actors competing for this space act. Thus, considering the configuration of those labels as majors, that is, companies that dominate the production and distribution of recorded music around the world, and the position they start to occupy thereafter, we explore how they organize themselves against the challenges imposed by the global economy - their attachments to transnational corporations, the uses of digital technologies in their production processes, the increase of worldwide competition, etc. - and, how, they save the reproduction mechanisms of this field or not, in which they are founders of their own construction principles. Through a qualitative empirical research carried out within the four majors - interviews, personal accounts, statistical sources, technical reports or even publications - we have sought to capture the operational logic of this particular universe of cultural industries, as of the way those who are in dominant positions engage, justify, and give meaning to their practices and actions. / Doutorado / Sociologia da Cultura / Doutor em Sociologia
