Master of Music / Department of Music / Frank C. Tracz / This report contains lesson plans as well as a theoretical and historical analysis of the literature performed in the Graduate Conducting Recital of Veronica Kongs. The recital was held in the Satanta Junior/Senior High School Auditorium in Satanta, Kansas on Tuesday, May 8, 2007 at 7:00 p.m. The recital featured performances by the Junior High and High School Concert Bands. Literature for the Junior High Concert Band included Korean Folk Rhapsody arranged by James Curnow and Riders on the Southern Front by Roland Barrett. The Junior High/High School Concert Band literature consisted of For Thy Courts Above by Ed Huckeby and Of Dark Lords and Ancient Kings by Roland Barrett. This report utilizes two analytical methods, the Larry Blocher/Richard Miles Unit Study model used in the Teaching Music through Performance in Band Books and the Frank Tracz approach of macro-micro score analysis.

This essay starts out in the world of art science looking out through the glasses of Anne D’Allevas analysis of performance and videoart, digital art and Roland Bathes Semiotics. By using Meta narratives and Popular culture we will examine how one music video and one video artwork lives in the same sphere. The point of this essay is to raise awareness of how popular culture is viewed both within, but also outside of the academic world. This essays will thoroughly analyze and discuss the differences that can be discovered when comparing music videos to video art. By connecting these findings to meta narratives we will uncover cultural and time specific traits, temporalities and narrative-structures.

Based on the semiotic analysis, this diploma thesis analyses mythological frameworks of chosen magazines. It consists of two parts, a theoretical and a practical one. The theoretical part is focused on semiotics as science, examines a sign and its historical development, describes myth, its history and research, as well as defines a theoretical starting points leading to definition of mythological framework. This definition is built on the theory of decoding and encoding of Stuart Hall, as well as his representation acknowledgements, as well as on the works of Claude Lévi-Strauss and Roland Barthes examining the myth. The practical part consists of definition of research-subject and semiotic analysis of mythological frameworks in front pages of Reflex and Respekt magazines. Findings of this analysis are then compared. This comparison leads to confirmation or disproval of hypotheses the author articulated prior to the analysis.

I uppsatsen kommenteras en egen översättning av utdrag ur Roland Barthes fackartikel Éléments de sémiologie. Denna avser följa Immanuel Wallersteins regler för termöversättning av human- och socialvetenskapliga texter samt riktlinjer framtagna av the Social Science Translation Project (2006). Källtexten präglas av explicita referenser till andra texter. Två uttryck för detta som här tas upp är citat och explicit intertextuella termer (i synnerhet det senare). Den första frågeställningen är om ett mottagande intertextuelt fält kan användas för att översätta dessa. Det visar sig vara ett väsentligt redskap, men inte självtillräckligt eller entydigt. Den andra är hur de med hjälp av detta redskap valda målspråkstermerna förhåller sig till Nuopponens och Pilkes (2016) kriterier för ”goda termer”. Analys av de målspråkstermer som valts, vilka är låneord, visar att olika klasser av låneord har tendens att hänga samman med vissa typer av terminologiska för- och nackdelar. / The thesis is a commentary of my own translation of an excerpt of Roland Barthes article Éléments de sémiologie. Its aim is to follow Immanuel Wallerstein’s rules for translation of terms in social sciences as well as the guidelines developed by the Social Science Translation Project (2006). The orignal text is characterized by explicit references to other texts. Two elements that will be presented in the thesis are quotes and explicitly intertextual terms (with a focus on the latter). The first question is if a receiving intertextual field could be used to translate these elements. It turns out to be a fundamental tool, but not self-sufficient or unequivocal. The second question is how the chosen terms of the target language, with help from said tool, relate to Nuopponens and Pilkes (2016) criteria for ideal terms. An analysis of the chosen terms of the target language, which are borrowings, shows that different groups of borrowings tend to be associated to certain types of terminological pros and cons.

This thesis deals with the poster of the Nazi Third Reich and the ideology shaped by the images and text communication, which it presents. The work looks at the poster as an important medium of communication that served Nazi propaganda to spread National Socialist ideology. This thesis aims to analyse these myths and debunk them in the way how Roland Barthes defines them in his book Mythologies. The author of the diploma thesis applies the traditional method of qualitative research of the media content - mythological and semiotic analysis - to demystify the myths and semiotic characters used in the selected Nazi posters. The first part of the thesis contains terminology, the second part presents the analysis of the individual posters, which are divided into several groups. In the conclusion of the thesis, the author presents a list of common symbols and myths, which are the result of the analysis.

It works with the barthesian hypothesis in agreement in which the media messages develop connoted systems, of double signification, one of which the connoted message offers the necessary categories for the analysis of the image and of the text, and its ramifications in the printed media that influence notably the choice of the reader/voter, being this last question that justifies the proposal of the dissertation. The main contribution of the work consists of the application of the categories of the « photographic message » to the publications of printed media of two media vehicles of the context of a political campaign. Metodologicaly, the reaearch is bibliographical, analytical and documentary, of qualitative character, showing like such messages exceed, for the connotation, the limits of the denotative information. The corpus of the research includes the publications of two newspapers of major circulation in the country: O Estado de Sao Paulo and A Folha de Sao Paulo, in their inseparably photographic and textual registers of the above-mentioned campaigns. The theoretical fundamentation for the field of the photography understands the barthesian theory especially that proposal in Mythologies - exegesis of specific works of the author: The Obvious and the Obtuse, Camera Lucida, «The Photographic Message» and Semiologic Adventure. For the field of the journalism, the images are explored introducing significant elements of increase in value as to the journalistic treatment of such a political campaign, essentially centered in showing the defining characteristics of the global image of the candidates and of the competing parties, the communicative intention of both newspapers in his ideological positioning which goes and meets the criticism in Mythologies / Esta pesquisa situa seu objeto de estudo, a «mensagem fotográfica», no âmbito do jornalismo na campanha política à Prefeitura de São Paulo em 2012 e tem por objetivo a análise das tensões entre a denotação e a conotação. Trabalha com a hipótese barthesiana segundo com a qual as mensagens midiáticas desenvolvem sistemas conotados, de dupla significação, uma das quais a mensagem conotada oferece as categorias necessárias para a análise da imagem e do texto, e seus desdobramentos na mídia impressa que influenciam notavelmente a escolha do leitor/eleitor, sendo esta última questão a que justifica a proposta da dissertação. A principal contribuição do trabalho consiste na aplicação das categorias da «mensagem fotográfica» às publicações de mídia impressa de dois veículos midiáticos no contexto de uma campanha política. Metodologicamente, a pesquisa é bibliográfica, analítica e documental, de caráter qualitativo, mostrando como tais mensagens ultrapassam, pela conotação, os limites da informação denotativa. O corpus da pesquisa abrange as publicações dos dois jornais de maior circulação no país: O Estado de São Paulo e a Folha de São Paulo, em seus registros inseparavelmente fotográficos e textuais das referidas campanhas. A fundamentação teórica para o campo da fotografia compreende a teoria barthesiana notadamente aquela proposta em Mitologias - exegeses de obras específicas do autor, como O Óbvio e o Obtuso, Câmera clara, «A Mensagem fogtográfica» e Aventura semiológica. Para o campo do jornalismo, exploramse as imagens introduzindo elementos de valorização significativos a respeito do tratamento jornalístico de tal campanha eleitoral, essencialmente centrado em mostrar as características definidoras da imagem global dos candidatos e dos partidos concorrentes, a intenção comunicativa de ambos os jornais no seu posicionamento ideológico que vai ao encontro da crítica em Mitologias

Though casual readers may often assume cookbooks are primarily reference materials,cookbooks actually offer readers a type of autobiography; I examine cookbooks as literary autobiographical acts by analyzing three celebrity chefs' cookbooks and the recent film, Julie and Julia. Julie and Julia, starring Meryl Streep and Amy Adams, illustrates several key autobiographical ideas, specifically Barthes' ideas of readerly and writerly texts and the distinction between an author and a persona. The film acts as a visual representation of the way a reader engages with a text and makes it a writerly text while successfully distinguishing between an author and a persona/narrator. After a brief review of autobiography theory through Julie and Julia, the three selected authors' work further magnifies the ideas. The first celebrity chef, David Lebovitz, uses a highly narrative style and incorporates numerous autobiographical details into his books. The second, Ina Garten, utilizes different methods of creating a persona, including photography. The third chef, Dorie Greenspan, uses the same methods used by Lebovitz and Garten, but has been replicated extensively in online baking groups, making her texts ideal for understanding the role of the reader in an autobiography. The work of these three authors illustrates well how autobiographies function and how readers can reiterate their own autobiographies through the books and food they consume.

Syftet var att undersöka om kinesiotejpning kunde påverka aktivitetsförmåga och smärta hos gravida kvinnor med pelvic girdle pain. Studien var en single subjekt experimentell AB-design. Fyra kvinnor inkluderades i pilotstudien för behandling av pelvic girdle pain. Smärtan skattades och mättes med visuell analog skala. Aktivitetsförmågan mättes med Roland &amp;  Morris disability questionnaire. Resultatet visade att gällande aktivitetsförmåga kunde det med 95 % säkerhet ses en förbättring hos tre av kvinnorna. Gällande smärtskattningen kunde endast hos en kvinna på kvällen och hos en annan kvinna på morgonen och kvällen ses en kliniskt signifikant minskad smärta. Resultaten i studien ger underlag för att en mer omfattande randomiserad och kontrollerad klinisk studie bör genomföras.
