Richard Strauss : Heroism, auto-heroism and the musical self

Wu, Janice Pei-Yen Unknown Date (has links)
The popular musico-historical image of Richard Strauss misrepresents both the composer and his music. As this thesis shows, such misrepresentation results from a failure to recognise the significance of Romantic heroic idealism to Strauss's compositional aesthetic. In his aesthetic, heroism operates at a fundamental level where musical self-representation exists as the expression of the Romantic heroic self and its subjectivity. This thesis, presented in two parts, examines firstly the concept of Romantic heroism, itself a misunderstood phenomenon, and, secondly, the ways that a deeper understanding of heroism functions as the underlying impetus for apprehending Strauss's approach to creativity. This creativity is tantamount to the composer's invention of a musical self. Chapter One examines nineteenth-century heroism as an ideological, aesthetic, and philosophical phenomenon, looking at how the early Romantics defined the hero and the centrality of notions of self-identity and self-consciousness to this definition. These notions legitimised subjectivity and realistic artistic self-portrayal. Chapters Two to Four examine literature, painting, and photography, respectively, as artistic spheres in which the idea of self became particularly pronounced. This is seen in the adoption of Romantic irony expressed as extreme realism. As a remedy for self-consciousness, this realism signalled the development towards the acute subjectivity of later nineteenth-century auto-heroism. Part Two, Chapters Five to Eight, considers Strauss's heroic allegiance, understood as an auto-heroic stage of heroism. His aesthetic notion of self is shown to have been specifically derived from social, national, and cultural spheres, all of which reinforced and demonstrated the realistic and auto-heroic expression of the musical self. Having established Strauss's historical reputation (Chapter Five) for the purpose of presenting the image which heroism amends, the idea of self obtaining from the social sphere of education (Chapter Six), and from the broader cultural and national outlooks suggested by Goethe (Chapter Seven) and Wagner (Chapter Eight), are considered. Within these chapters, the ways that these ideas of self are translated into the music itself are explored particularly in relation to the tone poems from Also sprach Zarathustra through to Eine Alpensinfonie. Romantic heroism enables Strauss's music to be understood as the product of a well-defined aesthetic theory within which self-representation is fully justified, thereby challenging the composer's predominating image.

Le corps, laboratoire de soi et du monde. Anthropologie d’un réseau de danseurs de butô a Kyôto / The body, a laboratory of self and the world – anthropology of a butoh dancers network in Kyôto

Iwahara, Cécile 10 January 2011 (has links)
Danse d’avant-garde, le butô est né au Japon dans les années 1950 d’une hybridation d’avant-gardes artistiques européennes et de formes scéniques populaires japonaises. Naguère plus connu dans les pays occidentaux qu’au Japon, alternativement tenu pour une forme de danse contemporaine ou un art typiquement japonais, le butô fait depuis une dizaine d’années l’objet d’une revalorisation au Japon. À partir de l’ethnographie d’un réseau de danseurs de butô à Kyôto, la présente étude explore les manières dont, dans un contexte de globalisation communément associé, au Japon, à une crise morale, sociale et économique, ils font du corps tout à la fois la matière, l’outil et le foyer subjectif d’une transformation de soi et du monde. L’étude rend compte des imbrications et des interprétations mouvantes de notions constamment invoquées : la singularité, l’universalité et la japonéité. Ainsi, l’un des principes fondateurs du butô, le « corps en déclin », autrefois mis en scène dans un esprit de contestation d’une société « moderne et capitaliste », apparaît aujourd’hui comme une quasi-métaphore d’un pays lui-même déclinant. Un autre principe, une mobilisation du bassin induisant l’ancrage dans le sol, associé par les danseurs à des valeurs asiatiques, tend à le supplanter. L’étude s’attache ainsi à décrire, dans les gestes mêmes, comment l’incessante recréation des valeurs fondatrices du butô sous-tend à la fois des aspirations à transformer le politique et un questionnement éminemment intime : la frontière entre la vie et la mort. / Butoh avant-garde dance, as an art form originally emerged in Japan at the end of the 1950s, is a result of the crossover between avant-garde European artistic movements and Japanese popular scenic traditions. Until recent years, more widespread in western countries than in Japan itself, alternatively viewed either as a contemporary dance form or again as typical of Japanese art, Butoh has within the ten last years been subject to strong local reappraisal. Through an ethnography of a Butoh dance network based in Kyôto, this study aims to explore how, through their practices and in a context of globalization in Japan commonly associated with moral, social and economic crisis, the dancers make of the human body simultaneously the material, the instrument and the subjective locus of a transformation of the self and world. This study analyzes the constantly mobile intrications and interpretations of certain continuously recurrent notions : singularity, universality and japaneseness. Thus, one of the essential principles of Butoh, the “declining body”, formerly claimed in a spirit of protest against “modern capitalist society” has today morphed into a quasi-metaphor for a country in decline. This principle is tending to be superseded by yet another, a mobilization of the pelvis, indicating a rootedness of the body in the soil, associated by the dancers with Asian values. The study thus engages with the description of how, through their very gestures, the unceasing recreation of fundamental Butoh values underpins both aspirations for the transformation of the political arena and a supremely intimate questioning of the self, at the frontier between life and death.

Violão sem professor: um estudo sobre processos de auto-aprendizagem com adolescentes

Correa, Marcos Kroning January 2000 (has links)
Este estudo qualitativo investiga os procedimentos envolvidos na auto-aprendizagem do violão, em contexto extra-escolar, através de cinco estudos de caso realizados com adolescentes. Entre outras questões a pesquisa discute as motivações que levam cinco jovens, entre 15 e 16 anos, no seu tempo livre, a buscar suas próprias formas de aprender, e descreve e analisa os procedimentos metodológicos utilizados. Os dados foram coletados através de entrevistas semiestruturadas, registradas em fitas cassete e fitas VHS, realizadas nas próprias casas dos adolescentes, no periodo de julho de 1999 a janeiro de 2000, em Porto Alegre. O estudo aponta elementos importantes relacionados as práticas pedagógicas de autoformação no instrumento, inseridas na prática pedagógica extra-escolar. / This qualitative study investigates the procedures involved in self-leaming guitar playing, in an extra school context, through five case studies. The motivation which takes five youngsters, between fifteen and sixteen years old, to seek the their own ways of leaming in their spare time and the methodological procedures used are the issues investigated in this research. The interview, semi-structured 1n recorded cassettes and on video-tape, were made in the teenagers' homes between July 1999 and January 2000, in Porto Alegre. The study highlights important elements related to the pedagogical practices of self-graduation in the instrument, inserted in the extra school pedagogical practice.

Contudo, o desmame precoce é uma realidade mundial, sendo necessário investigar não apenas o conhecimento das mães acerca do aleitamento, mas, sobretudo, a autoeficácia destas em amamentar seus filhos. Objetivou-se analisar a autoeficácia das mulheres no ciclo gravídico-puerperal quanto ao seu potencial em amamentar. Tratou-se de um estudo de delineamento longitudinal, com abordagem quantitativa, realizado em seis Unidades Básicas de Saúde da Família de Pacatuba/CE, totalizando uma amostra de 50 gestantes. A coleta de dados foi realizada por meio de entrevista, em duas etapas: a primeira, durante a gestação, e a segunda, no puerpério dessas mulheres (15º dia, 30º dia, 60º dia). Na primeira etapa de coleta, aplicaram-se dois instrumentos: a BSES-SF (Breastfeeding Self-EfficacyScale – Short-Form) e o formulário sociodemográfico e clínico-obstétrico. Já, na segunda, foram aplicados a BSES-SF e o formulário com dados do parto atual e o tipo de aleitamento materno e dados antropométricos do recém-nascido. Os dados foram analisados por meio do SPSS - Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, versão 19.0, através de estatística descritiva e inferencial, com nível de significância de 0,05. O estudo foi aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa da Universidade Federal do Ceará, sob o Protocolo 124/2011. A média da idade das puérperas foi de 23 anos (DP= ± 5,3). Predominaram mulheres casadas/união consensual, com oito ou mais anos de estudos, donas do lar, com renda per capita maior que R$141,00. Verificou-se diferença estatisticamente significante entre a maioria das variáveis sociodemográficas e as médias dos escores da BSES-SF no pré-natal e pós-parto (p<0,05): idade, estado civil, escolaridade materna e paterna, ocupação, renda, nº de filhos, receber bolsa-família. Quanto aos antecedentes obstétricos, também se constatou significância estatística nas seguintes variáveis (p<0,05): número de gestações, número de abortos, paridade, número de filhos vivos, tipo de amamentação anterior, dificuldades para amamentar, experiência em amamentar. Ainda houve significância quanto aos dados da gestação atual (p<0,05): gravidez planejada, número de consultas de pré-natal, ter conhecimento prévio em amamentação, preparo das mamas para amamentar e o tempo em que pretende amamentar. Pode-se ainda ressaltar significância estatística quanto aos dados do parto atual e puerpério (p<0,05): tipo, local e satisfação com o parto, amamentar na 1ª hora de vida do RN, orientações sobre amamentação na maternidade, dificuldade em amamentar e o tipo de alimentação do RN na alta da maternidade. Em relação aos dados antropométricos do RN, apresentaram significância estatística (p<0,05) com a escala: peso e estatura do RN ao nascer, sexo, Apgar no primeiro e quinto minutos de vida; classificação do RN quanto à semana gestacional. Pode-se constatar que as médias dos escores da BSES-SF foram maiores no segundo momento da aplicação da escala (pós-parto), sendo mais significante o domínio Técnico. Quanto à alimentação do recém-nascido e a escala, a amamentação exclusiva foi significante tanto na alta hospitalar, quanto no 15º, 30º e 60º dias de vida da criança. Assim, a Enfermagem pode apropriar-se de estratégias educativas que envolvam a autoeficácia materna em amamentar no ciclo gravídico-puerperal, tendo em vista que a experiência pessoal foi fator preponderante no aumento das médias dos escores de autoeficácia, bem como na duração do aleitamento materno exclusivo nos primeiros meses de vida da criança.
