Aprendemos danzando es un trabajo de investigación que aborda las diversas formas posibles de cómo la danza opera en el aprendizaje de los niños de primaria y secundaria en una institución educativa en el distrito de San Lorenzo de la provincia de Jauja. El estudio se llevó a cabo a través de 3 distintas entradas en el espacio elegido para compartir y recoger información sobre las experiencias y conocimientos de los niños, las iniciativas de los maestros y finalmente las percepciones de los padres de familia sobre el tema central a investigar. El uso de la etnografía y las técnicas cualitativas para el desarrollo del trabajo de campo facilitó tener acceso a toda la información esperada en el plan de acción, así mismo de la información nueva que surgió en el camino. A su vez, los procedimientos éticos para el trabajo con personas y en especial con niños estuvieron presente en todo momento. Responder a la pregunta central de ¿Cómo aprenden danzas los niños en la escuela?, ya sea con la práctica física y/o el uso de la teoría, así como de los diversos medios que permitieron acercamos a ella, apoyado por conceptos y teorías (aprendizaje, escuela, familia y danzas) facilitaron el reflexionar y analizar lo hallado en el campo.

Tropical cyclone (TC) rapid intensity change negatively impacts forecast error. Many studies have investigated rapid intensification, but fewer explore rapid weakening, particularly with aircraft observations due to fewer weakening TCs being flown. This study assesses factors contributing to the rapid weakening of Hurricane Lorenzo (2019) and the comparatively slower weakening of Hurricane Florence (2018) using aircraft observations and satellite-based products to enhance understanding of processes related to TC weakening. Intrusion of environmental dry air into Lorenzo's core under persistent moderate vertical wind shear, in conjunction with quickly decreasing SSTs, largely contributed to the TC's rapid weakening. Conversely, SSTs were higher and decreased more slowly along Florence's track, and dry air did not reach the TC's core. Confirming these processes with both aircraft and satellite observations implies that satellite analysis in the absence of reconnaissance could detect these features to some extent which may support future operational forecasting.

This work questions the present migration toward prescriptive building procedures through a micro-historical reading of Michelangelo's use of architectural template drawings. Examining the artist's ten surviving paper templates (called "modani") from the facade of San Lorenzo (1516-1520), the Medici Chapel (1519-1525), and the Laurentian Library (1524-1527), Michelangelo's template-making practices are mined for possible ways to reorient current thinking toward a dynamic worksite that embraces, rather than shuns, in-progress alterations. Taking the common word origin of 'template' and 'temper' as a starting clue, the relationship between Michelangelo's template drawings and the building site are theorized as a process of tempering, a 15th and 16th century term investigated through key sources such as Ficino's writings on health ("De vita"), the commentaries on Vitruvius by Barbaro and Cesariano, and Biringuccio's treatise on metallurgy ("De la pirotechnia"). From this, key connections emerge between Michelangelo's template-making and contemporaneous practices of tempering, where dynamic, in-situ material adjustments achieve great effect through tiny alterations. Whether in the health of the body, music, or material techniques, tempering offers a method of in-progress commensuration between axiomatic proportions and those of material, sensibly present harmonies. The tempering power of templates is investigated in three parts that follow the transmutation of Michelangelo's templates between paper, tin, and stone. The investigation begins with paper and, following a close examination of the extant drawings, discredits the common conclusion that Michelangelo's templates were drawn free-hand. Rather, it is shown that the extant templates are actually a small fragment of a once robust collection of parent and offspring templates related through tracing. Next, parallel practices in bell-casting and column profiling are discussed in terms of template materials, particularly tin, and how small adjustments may be leveraged to great narrative and conceptual effect in the emerging work. The final part examines the San Lorenzo building site through assembling the body of architecture, where templates are seen as surrogate building stones in the conception and adjustment of the in-progress work. The dissertation concludes with an assertion that Michelangelo's use of templates as instruments for micro-interventions amidst an unstable building site serves as a marvelous exemplar for tempering as a method for materializing the poetic image through disciplined practice. / Ph.

This dissertation describes the musical and religious support of the Medici family to the Medici Chapel in Florence and the historical role of the church of San Lorenzo in the liturgical development of the period. During the later Middle Ages polyphony was allowed in the Office services only at Matins and Lauds during the Tenebrae service, the last three days of Holy Week, and at Vespers anytime. This practice continued until the end of the sixteenth century when more polyphonic motets based on the Antiphon and Responsory began to be included in the various Office hours during feast days. This practice is documented by the increased number of pieces that appear in the manuscripts. Two of the transcriptions from the church of San Lorenzo included in the appendix are selected from this later repertoire.

Durante a Idade Moderna, na Espanha governada pela dinastia dos Habsburgos, religião e política se fundiam em muitos aspectos para criar a expressão característica da forma de governo desses monarcas, sobretudo durante o reinado de Felipe II (1556-1598). Junto a esse rei, importantes colaboradores criaram a imagem de seu governo. Nesta dissertação, chamamos a atenção para a atuação de Juan de Herrera, arquiteto de Felipe II, finalizador da obra emblemática do Monastério de San Lorenzo el Real del Escorial. Ao estudar a trajetória desse nobre, percebemos como a arquitetura ganha importância dentro da burocracia real, assim como as matemáticas. Herrera contribuiu para um projeto mais amplo do que a expressão estética e arquitetônica de um período, um projeto que expressava as inquietações políticas e religiosas da monarquia. / During the Modern Age, in Spain governed by the dynasty of the Habsburgs, religion and politics were fused in many aspects to create the characteristic expression of the form of government of these monarchs, especially during the reign of Philip II (1556-1598). Close to this king, important collaborators created the image of his government. In this thesis, we call attention to the work of Juan de Herrera, architect of Philip II, who completed the emblematic work of the Monastery of San Lorenzo El Real Del Escorial. Studying the trajectory of this noble, we realize how the architecture won importance within the royal bureaucracy, as well as mathematics. Herrera contributed to a more extensive project than the aesthetic expression and architectural design of a period, a project that expressed the political and religious inquietudes of the monarchy.

Barcelone, 1962, les routes de Lorenzo Soler et de Juan Piquer, issus de la génération de La Posguerra, se croisent de nouveau. Dans leur ville natale, Valence, ils avaient fréquenté le même collège huppé… et subi les mêmes souffrances, liées aux injustices de la société franquiste. Une amitié solide va naître. Juan Piquer est réalisateur. Sous son influence, Lorenzo Soler fondera une société de production cinématographique. Le 29 juillet 1963, une bombe éclate à La Puerta del Sol, au coeur de Madrid. Les deux jeunes Valenciens sont profondément choqués. Lorenzo Soler décide de produire un documentaire sur la période opaque de la pré-Guerre civile, l’ investissement des deux amis sera exemplaire. La première partie de la thèse dévoilera l’histoire du documentaire, tourné en 35 mm, reconstituée, en l’absence de copie, à partir des dossiers de censure. 1965, Juan Piquer repart travailler à Madrid. Dès 1964, le producteur s’était lancé dans la réalisation en tournant en 16 mm. Octobre 1965, la Mairie de Barcelone veut mettre en exergue sa politique du logement à l’égard des immigrants venus de l’Espagne du Sud, Lorenzo Soler est chargé de la réalisation de l’oeuvre de commande. Lors du tournage, il découvre el barraquismo, la gorge nouée, il tourne, mais l’oeuvre, une fois réalisée, sera mise sous séquestre. La décision du cinéaste se fera alors irrévocable, ses images témoigneront. La seconde partie de la thèse recouvrira la période 1965 - 1970 et traitera du parcours du précurseur d’un cinéma nouveau : « el cine [documental] independiente ». / In 1962, in Barcelona, Lorenzo Soler’s path crossed again Juan Piquer’s, by chance. Both were from the Posguerra generation. In their hometown, Valencia, they had attended the same posh college… and suffered the same experiences, because of the injustices of the Franco’s society. Their reunion marked the beginning of a close friendship. Juan Piquer was a film maker. Under his influence, Lorenzo Soler founded a movie production company. On July 29th 1963, a bomb exploded in downtown Madrid. The two young men were deeply shocked by the bomb attack. Lorenzo Soler then decided to produce a documentary on the obscure period that preceded the Civil War. The two friends’ commitment was exemplary. The first part of the thesis unveils the story of the documentary, from the study of the censure, because there is no copy of the movie, shot as a 35 mm film. In 1965, Juan Piquer went back to Madrid for work. In 1964, the producer started directing movies, using a 16 mm camera. In October 1965, Barcelona town council decided to promote its housing policy toward the southern Spain immigrants, Lorenzo Soler was in charge of a commissioned documentary. While shooting, he discovered el barraquismo, a lump in his throat, he shot, but his work was confiscated. Then the film maker’s decision became irrevocable, his work had to testify. The second part of the thesis deals with the career, from 1965 to 1970, of the precursor of a new cinema in Spain : el cine [documental] independiente.

This article examines the representation of musical culture in three Peruvian authors of the seventeenth century. Analysis of their written works highlights the presence and usage of musical knowledge through which these historical actors demonstrate a capacity to construct in writing an individual and collective identity in colonial society. / El presente artículo examina la forma por la cual se hace presente una cultura musical en tres personajes históricos del Perú del siglo XVII. A partir del análisis de algunos textos producidos por estos, se constata la presencia y utilización de un conjunto de saberes musicales por medio de los que se demuestra la capacidad de estos personajes para construir, desde la palabra, una identidad de orden individual y colectiva en la sociedad de la época.

Para tanto foi escolhida, especificamente o "Batuque" da Suíte "Reisado do Pastoreio" do compositor Oscar Lorenzo Fernândez, uma das obras brasileiras de maior riqueza musical e reconhecimento no cenário internacional. Esta pesquisa tem como justificativa a contribuição para o enriquecimento da bibliografia técnica brasileira em práticas interpretativas e também da discografia, através de dois Cds que acompanham esta dissertação, uma vez que faltam materiais de suporte disponíveis para o estudo deste gênero musical. A metodologia constou de: leitura de bibliografia especifica para um estudo das origens do termo batuque, as características das práticas musicais e de danças dos negros afro-brasileiros desde o período colonial, suas transformações até as primeiras décadas do século XX, em seguida um paralelo com a trajetória do compositor e sua produção musical, uma análise formal, uma análise interpretativa e comparativa com mais duas execuções distintas desta peça. Entre os resultados obtidos, contam-se a aplicação de conhecimentos teóricos na prática interpretativa; a contribuição para maior entendimento deste repertorio especifico assim como abertura para uma nova perspectiva à pesquisa musical; além de fornecer material útil para o ensino de música de câmara e de prática orquestral / Abstract: This research had the main object to present a possibility of performing the Brazilian symphonic music formed by afro-Brazilian influences, very little explorered by our performers. For that, was chosen particularly the "Batuque" from Suite "Reisado do Pastoreio" composed by Oscar Lorenzo Fernandez, one of the Brazilian woks full of musical richness and recognition at the international environment. This research had as justification, the contribution for the enrichment of the Brazilian technical bibliography in performing practices and discography through two CDs which join the dissertation, once that there is a lack of support material for the study of this kind of music. The methodology, at first, has consisted of the reading of particularly bibliography about the genesis of the term batuque and the characteristics of the musical practices and the dances of the afro-Brazilian Negroes since the colonial period until their changes during the first decades of the twentieth century. After that a parallel was described between the composer's path and his musical production. At last one formal analysis was made of Lorenzo Fernandez's batuque and one performing and comparative analysis was made between our performance and two different others of this piece. The results of this research showed that the theoretical knowledges were applicable at the performance practice and the contribution for the greatest comprehension of music with afro-Brazilian influences; opening a new perspective for musical research besides making available useful material for teaching chamber music and orchestral music / Mestrado / Mestre em Artes
