Ett steg bakåt, två steg framåt. : Att utveckla en pianotrio.Bylund, Jakob January 2020 (has links)
In this thesis I will describe the process of working with a piano trio. The trio consisted of Jonny Ek on piano, Uno Dvärby on bass and, me, Jakob Bylund on drums. This process included choosing musicians, studying influences, rehearsing, and the selecting and arranging songs. I will also reflect on my role as the drummer and band leader of the trio. The main purpose was to investigate what happens to a trio that does not only rehearse often, but also puts in a lot of work in to studying their role models, such as Oscar Peterson trio and Ahmad Jamal trio, by listening and transcribing arrangements played by them. By using these methods, the trio hoped to achieve a greater understanding of what these references were actually playing, and using that knowledge to develop its own interplay, dynamics and sound. The impact of role models is analyzed by comparing the Oscar Peterson trio and Ahmad Jamal trio to each other, and to my own trio, finding the uniqueness of each group as well as the similarities between them. During this project I have learned a lot as a drummer, arranger and band leader. Because of our many rehearsals and the way we studied our role models, I have gained a deeper understanding of my tendencies when drumming. I’ve also learned that the drummer in a piano trio could determine the direction of the music with very subtle but efficient ways, and therefore has a lot of power and responsibility to take care of the music. As a result of using these methods the trio managed to get a deeper understanding of why its role models sounded like they did and use that information to develop in their footprints. / <p>Jonny Ek - Piano.</p><p>Uno Dvärby - Kontrabas.</p><p>Jakob Bylund - Trummor.</p><p></p><p>"Where Or When" - Richard Rodgers</p><p>"Long Ago And Far Away" - Jerome Kern</p><p>"Black And Tan Fantasy" - Duke Ellington</p><p>"I Was Doing All Right" - George Gershwin</p><p>"In The Wee Small Hours Of The Morning" - David Mann</p><p>"Avalon" - Al Jolson, Buddy DeSylva, Vincent Rose</p><p>"Con Alma" - Dizzy Gillespie</p><p>"It's Only A Paper Moon" - Harold Arlen</p><p>"Easy Living" - Ralph Rainger</p>

Narrating alternative histories : an exploration of Jamal Mahjoub's The carrier and Amitav Ghosh's In an antique landEberhard, Nicole Joanne 04 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MA)-- Stellenbosch University, 2014. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie tesis ondersoek die verhouding tussen die verlede en die hede soos uitgebeeld in
Jamal Mahjoub se The Carrier (1998) en Amitav Ghosh se In an Antique Land (1992).
Hierdie tekste herverbeel die geskiedenis met die doel om 'n ander toekoms te dink. Hulle
vertel alternatiewe geskiedenisse en lewer sodoende kritiek op die Westerse historiografie en
die uitbeelding van die Ooste en die Suide daarin. Hierdie tesis sal uit Edward Said se
Orientalism (1978) put as 'n manier om die dominante Westerse houdings teenoor die Ooste
sowel as die Suide, verteenwoordig deur Afrika, te konseptualiseer soos die liminale
karakters in Mahjoub en Ghosh se tekste oor die Indiese Oseaan- en Mediterreense wêrelde
beweeg. Beide Mahjoub en Ghosh versplinter hulle verhale in 'n historiese en 'n
kontemporêre draad, en verweef hierdie fragmente om sodoende kommentaar te lewer op die
dinamiese verhouding tussen die verlede en die hede. Hierdie verhouding sal
gekonseptualiseer word deur te put uit Walter Benjamin se konsep van 'n konstellasie
verbindingspunte in tyd. Die kartering van verbindings word moontlik gemaak deur die
skrywer se verkenning van 'n geskiedenis van verbindings tussen diverse mense in hierdie
gebiede. Die alternatiewe geskiedenisse wat hier voorgestel word, onthul pre-koloniale
Mediterreense en Indiese Oseaan-handelsnetwerke gebou op uitruiling, wat gelei het tot
kosmopolitiese samelewings waarin die klem op verbindings eerder as geopolitiese binêre
geval het. Gesprekke tussen verskillende kulture, gelowe en denkskole dryf hierdie
verbindings in die historiese verhaallyne. Deur hierdie vergange wêreld en 'n meer vyandige
twintigste-eeuse wêreld naas mekaar te stel, wil Mahjoub en Ghosh bevraagteken of die
herkonseptualisering van die verlede die herverbeelding van die hede en toekoms moontlik
maak, in terme van hoe mense in staat is om oor verskilgrense heen met mekaar te verbind. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This thesis interrogates the relationship between the past and the present, as represented in
Jamal Mahjoub's The Carrier (1998) and Amitav Ghosh's In an Antique Land (1992). These
texts re-imagine history in order to think a different future. They narrate alternative histories
and in the process critique Western historiography and its representation of the East and
South. This thesis will draw on Edward Said’s Orientalism (1978) as a way of
conceptualising dominant Western attitudes towards the East, as well as the South,
represented by Africa, as the liminal characters in Mahjoub and Ghosh's texts move across
the Indian Ocean and Mediterranean worlds. Mahjoub and Ghosh both fracture their
narratives into a historical and a contemporary thread, interweaving these fragments in order
to comment on the dynamic relationship between the past and the present. This relationship
will be conceptualised drawing on Walter Benjamin's notion of a constellation connecting
points in time. The mapping of connection is enabled by the authors’ exploration of a history
of connection between diverse people in these regions. The alternative histories proposed
reveal precolonial Mediterranean and Indian Ocean trading networks built on exchange,
resulting in cosmopolitan societies emphasising connection rather than geopolitical binaries.
Conversations across differences — of culture, religion, and schools of thought — drive these
connections in the historical plotlines. By juxtaposing this past world with a more hostile
twentieth century world, Mahjoub and Ghosh seek to question whether reconceptualising the
past enables the re-imagining of the present and future, in terms of how people are able to
connect across boundaries of difference.

Hybridity, the uncanny and the stranger : the contemporary transcultural novelKrige, Nadia 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MA (English))--University of Stellenbosch, 2009. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: During the past century, for a variety of reasons, more people have been crossing
national and cultural borders than ever before. This, along with constantly developing
communication technology, has seen to it that clear-cut distinctions, divisions and
borders are no longer as easily definable as they once were. This process, now
commonly referred to as ‘globalisation,’ has led to a rising trend of ‘multiculturalism’
and ‘cultural hybridity,’ terms often connected with celebratory views of our
postmodern, postcolonial world as a colourful melting pot of cultures. However, what
these celebratory views conveniently avoid recognising, is that the increasing
occurrence of hybridity places a growing number of people in a painful space inbetween
identities where they are “neither just this/nor just that” (Dayal 47), “neither
the One… nor the Other… but something else besides” (Bhabha Commitment 41).
Perhaps in an effort to combat this ignorance, a new breed of authors – who have
experienced the rigours of migration first-hand – are giving voice to this pain-infused
space on the periphery of cultures and identities through a developing genre of
transcultural literature. This literature typically deals with issues of identity closely
related to globalisation and multiculturalism. In my thesis I will be looking at three
such novels: Jamal Mahjoub’s The Drift Latitudes, Kiran Desai’s Inheritance of Loss,
and Caryl Phillips’ A Distant Shore.
These authors move away from an idealistic, celebratory view of hybridity as the
effortless blending of cultures to a somewhat disenchanted approach to hybridity as a
complex negotiation of split subjectivity in an ever-fracturing world. All three novels
lend themselves to a psychoanalytic reading, with subjects who imagine themselves to
be unitary, but end up having to face their repressed fractured subjectivity in a
moment of crisis. The psychoanalytic model of the split between the conscious and
the unconscious, then, resonates well with the postcolonial model of the intrinsically
fractured hybrid identity. However, while psychoanalysis focuses on internal
processes, postcolonialism focuses on external processes.
Therefore, I will be making use of a blend of psychoanalytic and postcolonial
concepts to analyse and access discursive meanings in the texts. More specifically, I will use Homi Bhabha’s concept of ‘hybridity’, Freud’s concept of the ‘uncanny’, and
Zygmunt Bauman’s concept of ‘the stranger’ as distinctive, yet interconnected
conceptual lenses through which to view all three of these transcultural novels. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: In die afgelope eeu het meer mense as ooit vantevore, om ‘n verskeidenheid redes,
lands- en kultuurgrense oorgesteek. Tesame met die voortdurende vooruitgang van
kommunikasietegnologie, het dit tot gevolg dat afgebakende grense, skeidings en
verskille nie meer so maklik definieerbaar is as wat hulle eens was nie. Hierdie
proses, waarna in die algemeen verwys word as ‘globalisering’, het gelei tot die
groeiende neiging van ‘multikulturalisme’ en ‘kulturele hibriditeit’. Dit is
terminologie wat dikwels in verband gebring word met feestelike beskouings van ons
postmoderne, post-koloniale wêreld as ‘n kleurryke smeltkroes van kulture.
Wat hierdie feestelike beskouings egter gerieflikheidshalwe verkies om te ignoreer, is
die feit dat die toenemende voorkoms van hibriditeit ‘n groeiende aantal mense in ‘n
pynlike posisie tussen identiteite plaas waar hulle nòg vis nòg vlees (“neither just
this/nor just that” [Dayal 47]), nòg die Een… nòg die Ander is… maar eerder iets
anders buiten.. (“neither the One… nor the Other… but something else besides”
[Bhabha Commitment 41]).
Miskien in ‘n poging om hierdie onkunde die hoof te bied, is ‘n nuwe geslag skrywers
– wat die eise van migrasie eerstehands ervaar het – besig om met ‘n ontwikkelende
genre van transkulturele literatuur ‘n stem te gee aan hierdie pynlike ‘plek’ op die
periferie van kulture en identiteite. Hierdie literatuur handel tipies oor die kwessies
van identiteit wat nou verwant is aan globalisering en multikulturalisme.
In my tesis kyk ek na drie sulke romans: Jamal Mahjoub se The Drift Latitudes, Kiran
Desai se Inheritance os Loss en Caryl Phillips se A Distant Shore. Hierdie skrywers
beweeg weg van die idealistiese, feestelike beskouing van hibriditeit as die moeitelose
vermenging van kulture na ‘n meer realistiese uitbeelding van hibriditeit as ‘n
ingewikkelde vergestalting van verdeelde subjektiwiteite in ‘n verbrokkelende wêreld.
Al drie romans leen hulle tot die lees daarvan uit ‘n psigo-analitiese oogpunt, met
karakters wat hulself as eenvormig beskou, maar uiteindelik in ‘n krisis-oomblik te
staan kom voor die werklikheid van hul onderdrukte verbrokkelde subjektiwiteit. Die
psigo-analitiese model van die breuk tussen die bewuste en die onbewuste weerklink welluidend in die post-koloniale model van die intrinsiek verbrokkelde hibriede
identiteit.
Terwyl psigo-analise egter op interne prosesse toegespits is, fokus post-kolonialisme
op eksterne prosesse. Derhalwe gebruik ek ‘n vermenging van psigo-analitiese en
post-koloniale konsepte om uiteenlopende betekenisse in die onderskeie tekste te
analiseer en hulle toeganklik te maak. Meer spesifiek gebruik ek Homi Bhabha se
konsep van hibriditeit, Freud se konsep van die ‘geheimsinnige / onheilspellende’ en
Zygmunt Bauman se konsep van ‘die vreemdeling’ as kenmerkende, maar steeds
onderling verwante konseptuele lense waardeur aldrie transkulturele romans beskou
word.

Experiments in freedom : representations of identity in new South African drama : an investigation into identity formations in some post-apartheid play-texts published in English by South African writers, from 1994 - 2007Krueger, Anton Robert 28 October 2008 (has links)
This thesis examines ways in which identities have been represented in new South African play texts. It begins by exploring various ways in which identity has been described from various philosophical, psychological and anthropological perspectives. In particular, the thesis describes its methodology in terms of Gilles Deleuze's definition of "rhizomatic" structures. The introduction also elaborates ways in which drama is uniquely suited to represent ¨C as well as to effect ¨C transformations of identity. The thesis then moves on to an examination of specific texts in terms of four broad areas of investigation ¨C gender, political affiliation, ethnicity and syncretism. In these chapters a number of play texts are investigated from different points of view. Firstly, in a chapter on gender, the thesis focuses specifically on issues of masculinity and exile in plays by Athol Fugard, Anthony Akerman and Zakes Mda. This chapter explores orientations of the masculine which have become embedded within notions of nationalism and patriotism. In terms of political affiliations, the thesis looks at what Loren Kruger has called "post-anti-apartheid theatre" (2002: 233) and considers the trend away from protest theatre. With reference to the plays of Mike van Graan it also examines new forms of protest theatre. This chapter also explores plays which were inspired by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) and looks in more detail at Ubu and the Truth Commission by Jane Taylor. When considering ethnicities, the thesis reflects on how identity in terms of an ethnic collective is most often premised on laws of exclusion, and on the construction of what Benedict Anderson refers to as an "imagined community" (1991: 15). Representations of ethnic identities are then analysed in Happy Natives by Greig Coetzee. Syncretism seems to present a preferable description of how South African identities can be constructed and the thesis then elaborates attempts to forge a new identity in terms of amalgamation and a creative fusion of cultural resources, with particular reference to the plays of Brett Bailey and Reza de Wet. In the conclusion of this thesis, the thorny issue of racial identities is considered, and in particular the trope of the "rainbow nation", which many writers regard as a problematic blanketing description which cancels out difference. Instead, Ashraf Jamal's "radical syncretism", which does not seek to subsume heterogeneous identities, is suggested as a viable means of approaching definitions of identity. The final chapter also briefly touches on the development of physical theatre in South Africa and describes how the body can be used as a tool for transformation, relying principally on the writings of Mark Fleishman and Eugenio Barba in this regard. Finally, again resorting to a Deleuzian vocabulary which describes identity as constructed in terms of lines operating on particular planes, the thesis considers whether it may not be more beneficial in the post-apartheid context to favour paradoxical processes which relinquish identities, instead of those which attempt to consolidate them. @ 2008 Author Please cite as follows: Krueger, AR 2008, Experiments in freedom : representations of identity in new South African drama : an investigation into identity formations in some post-apartheid play-texts published in English by South African writers, from 1994 - 2007, DLitt thesis, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, viewed yymmdd < http://upetd.up.ac.za/thesis/available/etd-10282008-141823/ > D497/gm / Thesis (DLitt)--University of Pretoria, 2008. / English / unrestricted
