Representations of Antonín Dvořák: A Study of his Music through the Lens of Late Nineteenth-century Czech Criticism

Branda, Eva 18 July 2014 (has links)
Commenting on Antonín Dvořák (1841–1904), music critic Václav Juda Novotný declared in 1881 that “a Czech composer has to write, first and foremost, for a Czech audience.” Scholars have given considerable attention to Dvořák’s reception abroad and have shown that his path to success on foreign stages, particularly in Vienna, was not always direct. The composer’s reception in the Czech lands during the late nineteenth century was no less complicated – shaped by various cultural and political factors, as the Czechs sought to assert themselves in the fight for the nationalist cause, while remaining under Habsburg rule. Drawing on the wealth of newspaper and journal articles that were printed in the Czech press at this time, the dissertation places Dvořák’s music into its Czech context. The topic is explored by way of three case studies that deal with Dvořák’s contributions to choral, operatic, and symphonic genres. Each of the works examined came at a significant moment in Dvořák’s career in the Czech lands. The performance in 1873 of the choral cantata Hymnus: Heirs of the White Mountain marked Dvořák’s professional debut; with the 1878 production of the comic opera The Cunning Peasant, Dvořák celebrated his first major triumph on the coveted Czech operatic stage; and the Prague premiere in 1881 of his first widely recognized symphony, the D major, Op. 60, proved to be crucial in defining Dvořák’s role in the concert hall. These case studies reveal that Dvořák’s treatment in the Czech press varied depending on the unique traditions of these genres and their differing status within Czech musical culture. The project highlights the complex relationships and interactions among critics, audiences, and composers. In the politically-charged climate of fin-de-siècle Bohemia, Czech critics took ownership of Dvořák and enlisted his music to advance their own agendas. Dvořák, in turn, was keenly aware of and often catered to public tastes and critical expectations. Intertwining various realms of contextual inquiry, including nationalist rhetoric, contemporary critical discourses, and the musical repertories that were cultivated in the Czech lands, the dissertation draws attention to the multiple agents at play in Dvořák’s nineteenth-century Czech reception.

Bekräftelse eller hot : Teologers reaktioner på likheter mellan bibelberättelser och mesopotamisk myt.

Sjöstedt, Samuel January 2016 (has links)
In this essay I examine several christian and jewish theologians views on the similaritys between, and the highly likely common history of, the biblical storys of the creation and the flood and corresponding mesopotamian myths. The goal of this exersice is to find what influences the theologians views on the subject, aswell as finding out what those views are. Examined factors include when the theologian wrote, whether he was/is jewish or christian, and whether he was/is conservativ or liberal.  The biggest factor examined in this essay seems to be whether the theologioan is conservative or liberal. Intressting to note is also that most theologians either seem to accept both the existense of similaritys and the common history or reject them both.

Para alcançar esse objetivo, numa primeira etapa procedeu-se um amplo levantamento da produção científica sobre leitura. Desse material, foram selecionados vinte trabalhos com base em dois critérios: textos não publicados em formato de livro, portanto estudos ainda restritos ao ambiente acadêmico que precisam ser divulgados; e textos que analisassem a figura do leitor segundo a Estética da Recepção. Procedeu-se, então, uma descrição do material segundo uma grade de observação visualizando os seguintes itens: dados de identificação da obra; objetivos; material abordado; base teórica e bibliografia destacada na pesquisa; detalhamento da metodologia; conclusões principais apresentadas pelo pesquisador; e uma avaliação sobre os resultados efetivos de cada projeto. A seguir, realizou-se uma análise fundamentada nas categorias efeito e recepção, tal como são concebidas pela Estética da Recepção. Como resultados, chegou-se a uma amostra significativa do estágio atual das pesquisas de leitura/recepção de textos, composta pelas principais tendências dessa teoria no Brasil. / This work is the result of a research, which intends to describe and to analyze twenty dissertations and theories produced in the main Brazilian Universities, about the reading and the reception of texts. At first, it was preceded to a rising of the scientific production about reading in order to reach that aims at. From this material, twenty works were selected starting from two criteria: no published texts in book format and texts that analyzed the reader's illustration according to the Aesthetics of the Reception. It took place then, a description of the material starting from an observation grating, visualizing the following items: identification data of the work; objectives; approached material; theoretical base and research outstanding bibliography; the methodology details; main conclusions presented by the researcher and an evaluation about each project effective results. Soon afterwards, it took place an analysis based in the categories effect and reception, just as they are conceived by the Aesthetics of the Reception. As results, it was arrived to a significant sample of the current apprenticeship of the texts reading and reception researches, composed by the main tendencies of that theory in Brazil.

Towards a grammar of theatrical blindness

Ward, Marchella January 2018 (has links)
Since the fifth century, the theatre has been a place for seeing. In spite of this, blind figures repeatedly appear on the stage, from Oedipus, Polymestor, Tiresias and the Cyclops to Shakespeare's Gloucester, Beckett's Hamm, Friel's Molly Sweeney and Kane's Ian. These blind characters have an important role to play in articulating the task of the spectator, both in their aural and imaginative construction of the fictional world in pre-naturalistic theatre, and also in their ability to see through the dramatic illusion in later drama. These scenes of blindness and blinding also have consequences for reception studies, since the relationship between them is not straightforwardly a textual reception history. Instead, these blind characters and the scenes in which they appear are read as what Deleuze and Guattari term an 'assemblage': a heterogenous multiplicity that is produced at the moment of reading / watching with reference to other scenes of blindness and blinding. This thesis sketches out a grammar for such an assemblage, and each chapter focuses on a rule in this grammar. When read as part of an assemblage of blindness, blind characters always have a special relationship with death (Chapter 2), showcase their own performance (Chapter 3), undermine the fictional setting that has been established onstage (Chapter 4), have access to a kind of superhuman knowledge (Chapter 5) and alter the position of their spectators (Chapter 6). Each chapter is structured around a particular moment when the theatre's interest in blind characters resurges, as a response to changes in the social, cultural or scientific understanding of vision and visual impairment. In each chapter, the grammar that is outlined in Chapter 1 with reference to ancient plays returns to the fore, but is refracted through the historical period back on to the grammar of the assemblage.

CHARTIER, 1996; ECO, 1986; HARTLEY, 1982; ISER, 1996, 1999; JAUSS, 1994; MORLEY, 1999; VERON, 1985), e relacionar tais estratégias com as coerções de cada gênero jornalístico. Para a realização da pesquisa foram coletadas e analisadas 20 edições dos jornais Folha de São Paulo, O Estado de São Paulo e O Globo entre os meses de junho a dezembro de 2002, das quais foram selecionadas 28 reportagens e 31 artigos opinativos. Para isso, foram utilizadas as definições que José Marques de Melo (1994) e Luiz Beltrão (1976, 1980) fazem desses dois gêneros. Entre os resultados encontrados, destacamos a utilização das estratégias de dramatização da notícia, humanização do relato e didatização da informação, para os textos do gênero reportagem, e de composição gráfica e organização textual opinativa, para os artigos. Além dessas estratégias, foi possível também perceber a forma como os textos procuram estabelecer o percurso de leitura do receptor. Entre as reportagens isso ocorre através de duas possibilidades de leitura – a leitura integral e a leitura de atenção parcial – e nos artigos, através do posicionamento do leitor – como aprendiz, interlocutor e confidente. Esses resultados pretendem retomar a discussão da recepção como um processo, cujas marcas do leitor previsto pela produção podem ser percebidas no produto, o que torna fundamental uma análise que leve em consideração também essa presença do receptor como estratégia construída. / Salvador

La Banalité de l’Exclusion. Autopsie in vivo de quelques Romans d’Auteures Caribéennes et Subsahariennes (Condé, Mukasonga, Danticat et Miano)

Mefoude Obiono, Sandra 27 October 2016 (has links)
“La banalité de l’exclusion. Autopsie in vivo de quelques romans d’auteures caribéennes et subsahariennes (Condé, Mukasonga, Danticat et Miano)” examines the complex logics examines the complex logics of social exclusion and connects writings from Sub-Saharan Africa and the Caribbean, two sites often treated separately in the domain of Francophone studies. Precisely, this dissertation addresses how exclusion unfolds in these postcolonial societies—with migration, exile, and globalization echoed in the literary texts that I read. My argument is that our understanding of social exclusion and violence in these societies still draws solely from homogenizing development theories that originate outside of them. Re-theorizing social exclusion, I show in my work how these texts portray acts of social exclusion and violence through such insidious categories as geography, origins and lineage, as well as personal history, and local traditions and practices, that contribute to the making of misfits and outcasts, and yet remain overlooked in most attempts to address social exclusion in these specific locations. In navigating these relationships between social situations and literary form, I engage with psychology, social theory, and also physiology as I resort to autophagy (from the Greek “auto” meaning self and “phagy” meaning eating), a physiological process in the body that destroys cells to analogically demonstrate that by nurturing destructive behaviors these societies jeopardize chances to reach national cohesion and therefore contribute to their own destruction. The various chapters analyze texts by women writers: French Guadeloupian Maryse Condé, Haitian-American Edwidge Danticat, Rwandan French Scholastique Mukasonga, and Cameroonian French Léonora Miano. Self-critical agents of their communities, their act of bearing witness to these disruptions from a decentered position becomes highly problematic specifically for Danticat and Miano, as their legitimacy is challenged by resisting readers from their countries of origin who see their hyphenated selves as outsiders and traitors. But, hardly discouraged, these authors demonstrate the need for a renewed social response in writing that is provocative, with a rhetoric that resists the obsolete framing of fault and responsibility as always the Other’s.
