REMAKING THE ICONIC LULU: TRANSFORMATIONS OF CHARACTER, CONTEXT, AND MUSIC

Tullmann, Jennifer 01 January 2019 (has links)
Using Alban Berg’s opera Lulu as a case study, this dissertation explores the fluid nature of cultural artifacts as they are reborn within new socio-cultural contexts. By examining several Lulu productions, this inquiry seeks to understand the changes of meaning that have occurred through the transformation of canonic works in the twentieth- and twenty-first centuries. Central to this project is the shifting nature of the character of Lulu, not only in Berg’s opera, but also in various artistic genres that preceded and affected his own conceptions, as well as her appearances in selected productions. This study contrasts modern Lulu productions with the composer’s intentions for the opera, using Berg’s operatic text as a basis for comparison. These assessments will be made through a semiotic analysis of various staging elements, musical and textual analysis of archival materials, and consideration of past Lulu scholarship. Relevant features of the political, cultural, and social climate of each production are also be investigated. Two Werktreue productions are examined: the Austrian première of Lulu at the Theatre an der Wien (1962) and the Metropolitan Opera staging by John Dexter (1977). Several Regietheater productions are also studied, including the three-act 1979 première at the Paris Opera—complete with Friedrich Cerha’s third act—as well as stagings at the Glyndebourne Festival, Opernhaus Zürich, the Royal Opera House, the Theater Basel, and the Gran Teatre del Liceu. Although much scholarship has been written on Lulu, directors have implemented some of the most radical changes to the opera. Building on Lydia Goehr’s definition of the work-concept in The Imaginary Museum of Historical Works, this project examines the role of these radically altered stagings as challenges to the work-concept of Lulu. In order to assess the portrayal of Lulu in the above-listed productions, this dissertation investigates the origins of her character, tracing the genesis of Lulu and the numerous artists who molded her, including Félicien Champsaur, Frank Wedekind, Leopold Jessner, and G. W. Pabst. Finally, this dissertation considers a work that goes beyond modifications of orchestration, setting, and staging in Regietheater productions. Olga Neuwirth’s opera, American Lulu, represents the ultimate authorial challenge, functioning as both an adaptation of Berg’s text and as a newly composed work. This inquiry explores the transformed mise en scène and re-imagined characters of American Lulu, investigating Neuwirth’s politicized changes and the effect that these alterations have on the story of Lulu. In addition to analyzing her score and libretto, this study examines the performance and depiction of race and sexuality in two American Lulu productions, at the Komische Oper Berlin and the Young Vic in London. Several Lulu performances discussed in this study explore an area which, even as recently as the publication of Roger Parker’s Remaking the Song, was called “untouched”: the alteration of the operatic text itself. Whether these updated works and radical stagings are considered a passing trend or true innovations, the effect of staging on operagoers is undeniable. Like the shifting interpretations of the iconic character herself, the complex history of Lulu reflects the development of canonic works over time, as they are altered, transformed, and reborn in new environments.

Novos exemplos de NS-pares e de fibrações de Milnor reais não-triviais

Hohlenwerger, Maria Amelia de Pinho Barbosa 20 November 2014 (has links)
Neste trabalho, nos concentramos no estudo da topologia da fibração de Milnor associada a um germe de aplicação polinomial f : (Rn; 0) ! (Rp; 0) com uma singularidade isolada na origem. O primeiro resultado é uma extensão da caracterização de germes de aplicações triviais nos pares de dimensões (n; p) quando n p = 3: Uma caracterização inicial foi apresentada por Church e Lamotke em 1975. O segundo resultado é a caracterização de NS-pares (S5;K2); usando a topologia de espaços de configuração. Como uma consequência desta caracterização, mostramos a existência de germe de aplicação polinomial real nos pares de dimensões (6; 3) com uma singularidade isolada na origem tal que sua fibra de Milnor não é difeomorfa a um disco. A existência desses exemplos coloca um fim ao problema da não-trivialidade proposto por Milnor em 1968 e além disso, nos permite apresentar um novo resultado sobre a topologia da fibra de Milnor real nos pares de dimensões (2n; n) e (2n + 1; n); n > 3: Tal resultado garante a existência de germes de aplicações polinomiais (Rn; 0) ! (Rp; 0); n > p > 2; com uma singularidade isolada na origem tais que suas fibras de Milnor têm o tipo de homotopia de um buquê de um número positivo de esferas / In this work, we focus on the study of the topology of the Milnor fibration associated with a polynomial map germ f : (Rn; 0) ! (Rp; 0) with an isolated singularity at the origin. The first result is an extension of the characterization of trivial map germs in the pairs of dimensions (n; p) when n p = 3: An initial characterization was presented by Church and Lamotke in 1975. The second result is a characterization of NS-pairs (S5;K2); using the topology of configuration spaces. As a consequence of this characterization, we show the existence of real polynomial map germs in the pairs of dimensions (6; 3) with an isolated singularity at the origin such that its Milnor fibers are not diffeomorphic to a disc. The existence of such examples ends a non-triviality problem posed by Milnor in 1968 and furthermore, it allows us to show a new result about the topology of the real Milnor fibers in the pairs of dimensions (2n; n) and (2n + 1; n); n > 3: This result ensure the existence of polynomial map germs (Rn; 0) ! (Rp; 0); n > p > 2; with an isolated singularity at the origin such that its Milnor fibers has the homotopy type of a bouquet of a positive number of spheres.

Subgrupos geométricos e seus comensuradores em grupos de tranças de superfície / Geometric subgroups and their commensurators in surface braid groups

Ocampo Uribe, Oscar Eduardo 02 April 2009 (has links)
Seja $B_mM$ o grupo de tranças com $m$ cordas sobre uma superfície $M$ e seja $N$ uma subsuperfície de $M$. Estudaremos inicialmente condições necessárias e suficientes para as quais $B_nN$ é um subgrupo de $B_mM$ ($m$ podendo ser diferente de $n$), isto é, se considerarmos a inclusão $i\\colon N \\to M$, queremos estabelecer condições sobre $M$ e $N$ para que a aplicação induzida $i_\\ast \\colon B_nN \\to B_mM$ seja injetora. Em seguida, sob certas hipóteses para $N$ e $M$ calcularemos o comensurador, normalizador e centralizador de $B_nN$ em $B_mM$, sendo esse o objetivo principal desta dissertação. / Let $B_m(M)$ be the braid group with $m$ strings on a surface $M$ and let $N$ be a subsurface of $M$. We will study the necessary and sufficient conditions out of which $B_n(N)$ is a subgroup of $B_m(M)$ ($m$ can be different of $n$), it means, if we consider the inclusion $i \\colon N \\to M$, we would like to establish conditions for $M$ and $N$ for the induced application $i_\\ast \\colon B_nN \\to B_mM$ should be injective. After that, under some certain conditions for $M$ and $N$ we will calculate the commensurator, normalizer and centralizer of $Bn(N)$ in $Bm(M)$, being this one the principal objective of this work.

Analytic Functions with Real Boundary Values in Smirnov Classes E<sup>p</sup>

De Castro, Lisa 01 January 2013 (has links)
This thesis concerns the classes of analytic functions on bounded, n-connected domains known as the Smirnov classes Ep, where p > 0. Functions in these classes satisfy a certain growth condition and have a relationship to the more well known classes of functions known as the Hardy classes Hp. In this thesis I will show how the geometry of a given domain will determine the existence of non-constant analytic functions in Smirnov classes that possess real boundary values. This is a phenomenon that does not occur among functions in the Hardy classes. The preliminary and background information is given in Chapters 1 and 3 while the main results of this thesis are presented in Chapters 2 and 4. In Chapter 2, I will consider the case of the simply connected domain and the boundary characteristics that allow non-constant analytic functions with real boundary values in certain Smirnov classes. Chapter 4 explores the case of an n-connected domain and the sufficient conditions for which the aforementioned functions exist. In Chapter 5, I will discuss how my results for simply connected domains extend Neuwirth-Newman's Theorem and finish with an open problem for n-connected domains.
