The thesis concerns Malcolm Arnold, one of the most significant English composers of the 20th century, and his favorite instrument - the flute. In the biographical part it focuses on Arnold`s difficult and complicated life, his mental illness and the consequent impact of these facts on his work. It gives special attention to personalities and circumstances which are associated with Arnold`s compositions for flute. The second part involves formal and harmonical analysis of his two concertos for flute and orchestra and the Fantasy for solo flute. I have factored in the influences of different 20th century musical styles - serial methods, jazz, cabaret performances - in his composition techniques. The work is based on my personal interpretation experience.

Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico / A presente pesquisa sobre o gozo na clínica com mulheres devastadas teve como foco o lugar ocupado pelo gozo em seu aspecto mortífero, de excesso e falta de medida, que se manifesta no âmbito das parcerias amorosas. Partindo das experiências relatadas por algumas analisandas, que as descrevem como "sair do corpo", "ficar louca", "descontrolada" ou "fora de si", e das formulações psicanalíticas a respeito do gozo feminino, buscou-se discutir a questão a partir dos referenciais propostos por Freud e Lacan no que diz respeito à constituição da feminilidade e do feminino, tais como a catástrofe e a devastação na ligação com a mãe e com o parceiro, a forma erotomaníaca de amar, além das duas formas de gozo nas mulheres. Entre os temas abordados nesta dissertação destacam-se as operações da castração e do Complexo de Édipo, juntamente com o seu elemento central, o falo, que permitem trazer à discussão algumas consequências para as mulheres, sobretudo as posições implicadas, a saber: o falo e a mascarada. O conceito de gozo é examinado através de três ser mascarada articulações principais. Primeiramente, a tentativa de Freud, que parece a mais antiga na psicanálise, de circunscrever um gozo propriamente feminino, ligado à satisfação da pulsão pela via da zona vaginal; em segundo lugar, o pensamento de Lacan em Diretrizes para um congresso sobre a sexualidade feminina (1958), em que ele recupera a questão freudiana do congresso sobre a sexualidade feminina gozo feminino, e posteriormente no Seminário 7:a ética da psicanálise (1959-1960), desenvolvido durante o período de preparação para o referido congresso, no qual Lacan eleva o gozo ao estatuto de conceito. Como desdobramento, encontram-se algumas articulações clínicas acerca do gozo devastador nos relacionamentos amorosos, tomando como referência a personagem da Erwartung, op. 17 , de Arnold Schoenberg e as mulheres que encontramos no dia a dia da clínica. / This study on jouissance within the clinical work with devastated women focuses on female sexuality, emphasizing the place of jouissance in its deadly and unlimited aspect of excess as present in the realm of love partnerships. Based on the sayings of certain analysands, such as having "the sensation of leaving the body", "going crazy", "losing control" or "going out of mind", in addition to the formulations concerning feminine jouissance, this paper discusses the issue according to the Freudian and Lacanian fundamentals of the constitution of femininity and the feminine, such as catastrophe and devastation in the girl's relationship with her mother and with her love partner,the erotomaniacal form of feminine love, and the two jouissances women can experience. Among the subjects covered in this dissertation are the operation of castration and of the Oedipus complex along with its core element, the phallus, and the feminine positions known as being the phallus and the masquerade. The concept of jouissance is examined through a threefold discussion: first, Freud's attempt to circumscribe a feminine jouissance as the satisfaction of the drive by the means of the vaginal zone; second, Lacan's developments in Guiding remarks for a convention on feminine sexuality (1958) and, finally, his ideas introduced in Seminar 7: The ethics of psychoanalysis (1959-1960), where he develops the concept of jouissance. As far as the clinical discussion is concerned, this paper relies not only on the analysands' sayings but also on the text of the female character from Arnold Schoenberg's opera Erwartung, op. 17.

O primeiro capítulo aborda os dois conceitos de expressão que caracterizam, na ótica de Adorno, a música anterior ao expressionismo: a expressão como simulação de paixões e a expressão como organização total da forma. Cada uma delas resultou, não obstante, em um bloqueio da expressão, decorrente da hipóstase quer seja do princípio formal abstrato, quer seja dos momentos particulares isolados do todo. Este bloqueio expressivo é desenvolvido no segundo capítulo, que aborda a dinâmica através da qual, num contexto de comercialização e fetichização da cultura, a música tende a forjar uma aparente reconciliação entre a parte e o todo, entre o universal e o singular. A música expressionista realiza uma crítica dessa aparência de conciliação e dá lugar ao singular não mediatizado pela forma. Toma, como conteúdo, os gestos orgânicos, os conteúdos anímicos não mediatizados pelo conceito e pela forma e estabelece o registro documental de gestos orgânicos como procedimento formal. Em virtude do seu princípio expressivo, Erwartung se assemelha a um sismograma, que registra os abalos sísmicos. No entanto, o resultado dessa negação dos esquemas formais – tanto temático-motívicos como harmônicos – não é um simples abandono da forma em detrimento do conteúdo, mas um novo tipo de relação entre forma e conteúdo, que é desenvolvido no último capítulo, dedicado à análise musical / This research is an analytical approach of the monodrama Erwartung Op. 17 – work from the musical expressionism composed by Schoenberg from Marie Pappenheim’s text – which starts from Adorno’s aesthetic reflections about the work and the expressionism as a whole, mainly in his Philosophy of New Music. The first chapter approaches the two concepts of expression that characterizes, in Adorno’s view, music before the expressionism: the expression as simulation of affections and the expression as total organization of form. However, each one of these ways of expression resulted in a blockade of expression, due to hypostasis either of abstract formal principle, or of individual moments separated from the whole. This expressive blockade is developed in chapter two, which approaches the dynamics whereby, in contexts of commercialization and fetishization of culture, music trends to forge an apparent reconciliation of the part and the whole, of universal and singular. Expressionist music accomplishes a critic of this appearance of reconciliation and conveys the form nonmediated singularity. It takes, as content, organic gestures, spiritual contents non-mediated through concept and form and establishes documentary record of organic gestures as formal procedure. Due to its expressive principle, Erwartung resembles a seismogram, which records the seismic events. However, as a result of this denial of formal schemas – either thematic-motivic or harmonic – we don’t see a mere refusal of form over content, but a new kind of relation of form and content, which is developed in last chapter, dedicated to musical analysis

Cette thèse porte sur le comportement asymptotique des systèmes dynamiques et contient cinq chapitres indépendants.Nous considérons dans la première partie de la thèse trois systèmes dynamiques concrets. Les deux premiers chapitres présentent deux modèles de systèmes physiques : dans le premier, nous étudions la structure géométrique des langues d'Arnold de l'équation modélisant le contact de Josephson; dans le deuxième, nous nous intéressons au problème de Lagrange de recherche de la vitesse angulaire asymptotique d'un bras articulé sur une surface. Dans le troisième chapitre nous étudions la géométrie plane du billard elliptique avec des méthodes de la géométrie complexe.Les quatrième et cinquième chapitres sont dédiés aux méthodes générales d'étude asymptotique des systèmes dynamiques. Dans le quatrième chapitre nous prouvons la convergence des moyennes sphériques pour des actions du groupe libre sur un espace mesuré. Dans le cinquième chapitre nous fournissons une forme normale pour un produit croisé qui peut s'avérer utile dans l'étude des attracteurs étranges de systèmes dynamiques. / This thesis deals with the questions of asymptotic behavior of dynamical systems and consists of six independent chapters. In the first part of this thesis we consider three particular dynamical systems. The first two chapters deal with the models of two physical systems: in the first chapter, we study the geometric structure and limit behavior of Arnold tongues of the equation modeling a Josephson contact; in the second chapter, we are interested in the Lagrange problem of establishing the asymptotic angular velocity of the swiveling arm on the surface. The third chapter deals with planar geometry of an elliptic billiard.The forth and fifth chapters are devoted to general methods of studying the asymptotic behavior of dynamical systems. In the forth chapter we prove the convergence of markovian spherical averages for free group actions on a probablility space. In the fifth chapter we provide a normal form for skew-product diffeomorphisms that can be useful in the study of strange attractors of dynamical systems.

Some problems and results in connection with error estimators for modern elements of the Mindlin Reissner equation for plates are discussed.

This essay compares Wordsworth’s and Arnold’s conceptions of nature and suggests reasons for the differences found. Both poets were keenly sensitive to the leveliness of the external world, and found in nature a soothing and healing power for the troubled mind of man. Both derived sensuous enjoyment from the beauties of nature, and found in nature permanence, peace, and tranquillity. The fundamental difference in their doctrines of nature is in their conceptions of abstract nature. To Wordsworth, nature was a benevolent force which actively participated in the moral and spiritual growth of man. His was a doctrine of joy and optimism. To Arnold, nature was a great and indifferent force which man must transcend. His was a doctrine of stoicism and pessimism. The differences are mainly due to the progress in science and thought from the mid-eighteenth to the mid-nineteenth century. Wordsworth inherited the eighteenth century belief in a benevolent and all-powerful Deity, who manifested his goodness in nature. By a synthesis of this philosophy, the assumptions of associationist psychology, and his own experience, he explained the moral and spiritual growth of man. Wordsworth believed that through love of nature, man was led to love of his fellow man and of God. He believed that nature participated in man’s moral growth, through the senses, with the aid of some super-sensuous power – ‘a superadded soul’, an ‘auxilier light’, which he believed to be the imagination. Through semi-mystical and visionary experiences, he became convinced of the unity between the soul of man and the soul of nature. This was the source of his joy in nature. Arnold took for granted many of the assumptions of nineteenth century science regarding nature. Through these, and his own search for truth, he lost faith in a benevolent force in the universe. He saw no evidence of harmony or teleological purpose in nature. He found in nature only an edifying example of tranquility, steadfastness, and stoicism. The central tenet of his doctrine was of the superiority of man over nature, through his reason and conscience. On a broader basis, the change in attitude to nature between Wordsworth and Arnold is due to the changed conception of men’s place in the Chain of Being. In the eighteenth century, man held the most important earthly place in nature’s Chain of Being. In the nineteenth century, he lost that place. The Industrial Revolution created a materialistic world in which only the fittest survived economically. Biologists and zoologists reduced man to the level of all other creatures. He lost his favoured place in the Chain of Being, and for him nature lost all order and purposiveness. A pessimistic view of nature was logical and common. / Arts, Faculty of / English, Department of / Graduate

Partindo do princípio que texto e a música são fenômenos sonoros indissociáveis, neste trabalho, recorremos à melopoética como fio condutor desse processo criativo. Diante de tal corrente de estudo que trabalha especificamente com as questões sonoras que permeiam letra e música, as ferramentas de trabalho que desenvolvemos possuem íntima relação com esses fenômenos. Métrica, acentuação rítmica, prosódia, rimas internas e externas e os processos de união e separação de palavras em música são os elementos que foram aqui aprofundados, em uma pesquisa quem sua essência, promove a intercomunicação entre a música e a linguística. A tese tem um capítulo introdutório, com um levantamento bibliográfico de autores clássicos e atuais da área de tradução, especificamente de tradução poética. Na introdução também é apresentada a linha de pensamento na qual iremos desenvolver nossa análise: a melopoética. As ferramentas que serão defendidas e utilizadas como parâmetro na análise de caso são expostas no primeiro capítulo, enquanto no segundo capítulo é desenvolvida a análise da obra Pierrot Lunaire de Arnold Schoenberg, traduzida por Augusto de Campos, com a participação da maestrina e cantora Edmar Ferreti, figura fundamental nesse processo de tradução / Abstract: With the aim of providing research material able to help future translators of vocal works, this paper is an interdisciplinary study that brings together theoretical linguistics and music, in order to define and develop, through a case analysis, tools to assist the translation process of vocal works. Starting from principle that text and music are inseparable sound phenomena, in this work we resort to the theory of melopoetics as the connecting line for this creative process. With this line of work that deals specifically with the issues that permeates music and text the tools we have chosen have close relation with these aspects. Metric, rhythmic accentuation, prosody, internal and external rhymes, and processes of union and separation of words in music, are the elements that have been discussed here, in a research that, in its core, promotes the intercommunication between music and language. The thesis has an introductory chapter, with a discussion of bibliography of current and classic authors in the area of translation, specifically poetic translation. Also included in the introduction is the line of thought in which we will develop our analysis: melopoetics. The tools that will be defended and used as a parameters in the analysis of the case study are stated in the first chapter, while the second chapter analyses Arnold Schoenberg's work Pierrot Lunaire, translated by Brazilian author Augusto de Campos, with the participation of the conductor and singer Edmar Ferreti, key figure in this translation process / Doutorado / Praticas Interpretativas / Doutora em Música

[EN] The concept of progressive variation refers to a creative process that was first raised by Arnold Schoenberg, focusing mainly on the music of Brahms. This thesis investigates the role such proceedings have in Verklärte Nacht, Schoenberg's earliest masterwork, exploring till what extent they rule the relationships between all the themes appearing in the piece. The first part sets the basis of this study in five chapters dedicated, respectively, to the presence of cadences, importance of the sequences, remarkable harmonic issues, overall structure of the work and an essay on the concept of progressive variation that serves as an introduction to the thematic analysis that follows. The second part is devoted to a systematic analysis of the motives appearing in Verklärte Nacht, which leads to the conclusion that all of them are originated on a basic form or Gestalt . Given the weak presence of cadential processes, the limited functionality of harmony and the apparently inconsistent formal structure of the work, the thematic analysis of the piece brings out the progressive variation as an essential element of cohesion and unity. The widespread use of motivic development as a way of creating music gives great independence to the voices and many harmonics events begin to be casual rather than causal. The qualities of the processes explored and described in this study lead to the conclusion that motivic development can be considered the link between tonal and atonal music, since it is a common procedure on both sides. Therefore, it can be suggested that Schoenberg's path towards atonality was not a sudden change or a break, but a continuous evolution that finds its main thread in the method of motivic construction. / [ES] El concepto de variación progresiva se refiere a un procedimiento creativo que fue planteado por primera vez por Arnold Schoenberg centrándose, sobre todo, en la música de Brahms. Esta tesis investiga el papel que dicho procedimiento tiene en Verklärte Nacht, la primera obra maestra de Schoenberg, explorando hasta qué punto marca las relaciones entre todos los temas que aparecen en ella. La primera parte sienta las bases del estudio en cinco capítulos dedicados, respectivamente, a la presencia de cadencias, la importancia de las secuencias, los elementos armónicos destacables, la estructura general de la obra y un ensayo sobre el concepto mismo de la variación progresiva como introducción al análisis temático que le sigue. La segunda parte efectúa el análisis sistemático de los motivos que aparecen en Verklärte Nacht, el cual lleva a la conclusión de que todos ellos provienen de una forma básica o Gestalt. Dada la débil presencia de procesos cadenciales, la escasa funcionalidad de la armonía y la poco cohesionada estructura formal de la obra, el análisis temático de la pieza descubre en la variación progresiva el elemento primordial de cohesión y unidad. La generalización del uso del desarrollo motívico como forma de crear música otorga a las voces una gran independencia y muchos sucesos armónicos comienzan a ser casuales, en vez de causales. Las cualidades de los procesos explorados y descritos durante este estudio llevan a la conclusión de que el desarrollo motívico se puede considerar el nexo de unión entre la música tonal y la atonal, ya que es un procedimiento común en ambos bandos, con lo cual se puede decir que el camino de Schoenberg hacia la atonalidad no fue un cambio brusco ni una ruptura, sino una evolución continua que encuentra su principal hilo conductor en el proceso de construcción motívica. / [CAT] El concepte de variació progressiva es referix a un procediment creatiu que va ser plantejat per primera vegada per Arnold Schoenberg centrant-se, sobretot, en la música de Brahms. Esta tesi investiga el paper que el dit procediment té en Verklärte Nacht, la primera Schoenberg primerenc, explorant fins a quin punt marca les relacions entre tots els temes que apareixen en ella. La primera part assenta les bases de l'estudi en cinc capítols dedicats, respectivament, a la presència de cadències, la importància de les seqüències, els elements harmònics destacables, l'estructura general de l'obra i un assaig sobre el concepte mateix de la variació progressiva com a introducció a l'anàlisi temàtica que li seguix. La segona part efectua l'anàlisi sistemàtica dels motius que apareixen en Verklärte Nacht, el qual porta a la conclusió que tots ells provenen d'una forma bàsica o Gestalt.

La generalització de l'ús del desenrotllament motívic com a forma de crear música atorga a les veus una gran independència i molts esdeveniments harmònics comencen a ser casuals, en compte de causals. Les qualitats desl processos explorats i descrits durant este estudi porten a la conclusió que el desenrotllament motívic es pot considerar el nexe d'unió entre la música tonal i l'atonal, ja que és un procediment comú en ambdós camps, amb la qual cosa es pot dir que el camí de Schoenberg cap a l'atonalitat no va ser un canvi brusc ni una ruptura, sinó una evolució contínua que troba el seu principal fil conductor en el mètode de la construcció motívica. / Amat Arocas, C.

My dissertation contemplates the role that New Deal era photographs played in developing a sense of place particular to New York City’s environs. I argue that photographers used the camera as a tool to cultivate the relationship between people and the urban landscape by focusing their lens on liminal and collective spaces within the metropolitan environment. My first chapter examines Helen Levitt’s survey of African-American, Latinx, and Italian children in East Harlem, sponsored by the Federal Art Project. My second chapter reviews a series produced under the same Project—Arnold Eagle and David Robbins’s study of the Jewish and Italian sections of the Lower East Side. My third chapter turns to Sid Grossman and Sol Libsohn’s chronicling of Irish and Italian second-generation immigrants in Chelsea, supported by the Photo League. In each chapter, I contend that the prominence of communal spaces within these images results in documents that can be read as an effort by photographer and subject alike to define their place within the contested sites of the urban street. Through this focus on vernacular spaces, these surveys disrupt ideals of belonging and work to document processes of place-making distinct to each occupier. Employing analytical lenses of cultural geography and phenomenology, I theorize the role of collective spaces within each series. These vernacular sites, propelled by their indistinct physical and social dimensions, hold slippery identities, shifting boundaries, and a collection of potential “owners.” Due to this ambiguity, these spaces hold an opportunity for collective emergent action. Throughout these series the photographers show neighborhood dwellers engaging collective spaces of the city to satisfy their quotidian needs. My dissertation examines how inhabitants, through acts of play, ritual, and embodied remembrance, transform these interstitial spaces into place. I consider the photographer’s role as folklorist, sociologist, and archeologist—as they survey how their subjects engage, occupy, and transform the local and ordinary spaces of their metropolitan landscape into places created and claimed by city-dwellers. In attending to the spatial dimension, I consider how photographs register and explore the lives of marginalized communities within the contested landscapes of New York City’s streets.
