This dissertation encourages adoption of a message-oriented receiver perspective when developing new instructional communication theories and proposes a causal-process model derived from Knowledge Acquisition Theory to demonstrate how this perspective can be used to predict student cognitive learning outcomes. Three hypotheses are generated to test the propositions of the derived model. The first hypothesis seeks to determine which dimensions of instructional message clarity and course content relevance best predict student interactions with instructional content. The second hypothesis predicts that student self-reported knowledge gains are a function of student interactions with content. The third hypothesis predicts that a significant proportion of the variance in knowledge gains can be explained by the combination of message characteristics with student content interactions both in and outside the classroom. A cross-sectional survey research design was used to collect responses from undergraduate students at a large southern public research university (n=333). The hypotheses were tested using linear and hierarchical regression and results demonstrated statistical support for all three hypotheses. The first hypothesis revealed the dimensions of instructional message clarity and course content relevance that significantly predicted student interactions with content inside and outside of class. Support for the second hypothesis illustrated that both in class and out of class content interactions significantly predicted student self-reports of knowledge gains. Finally, hypothesis 3 tested the comprehensive causalprocess model derived from Knowledge Acquisition Theory. The derived model received strong support and ultimately accounted for 65% of the variance in student perceptions of knowledge gains. Student perceptions of knowledge gains increased when students perceived textbook messages as clear, course goals and expectations as clear, content as relevant to their own lives, and when students enacted knowledge acquisition behaviors outside of class. Surprisingly, in class content interaction, presentation clarity, and procedural clarity dropped out of the model. Implications and limitations of the present study are discussed, directions for future research are suggested, and a persuasive argument is presented for why instructional communication researchers should continue to develop a message effects research agenda supporting the development of strong instructional communication theories that produce practical results to inform educational practices.

<p>Much of our understanding of Schoenberg and his music today is colored by early responses to his so-called free-atonal work from the first part of the twentieth century, especially in his birthplace, Vienna. This early, crucial reception history has been incredibly significant and subversive; the details of the personal and political motivations behind deeply negative or manically positive responses to Schoenberg's music have not been preserved with the same fidelity as the scandalous reactions themselves. We know that Schoenberg was feared, despised, lauded, and imitated early in his career, but much of the explanation as to why has been forgotten or overlooked. As a result our own reception of Schoenberg's music is built upon inherited fears, hopes, and insecurities that are now nearly a century old. In order to more fully approach these musical works and their composer it is necessary to attempt to separate his reputation from the sound of the music.</p><p>This dissertation, which studies Schoenberg's reception from 1908 through 1924 in the United States, Britain, and Austria and German through select works (Opp. 10, 15, 16, 17), contributes to the field by uncovering additional primary sources, including previously unknown performances and reviews. My work interacts with larger trends in musicology, including questioning the narrative of atonality, assessing the value of social and artistic movements (i.e. expressionism) as applied to music, and examining how the reception of a work is the combination of many factors - from the aural to the political - which intertwine to form our idea of a musical text. Ultimately, through a study based on close musical analysis employing elements of set-class theory, the methodology of Rezeptionsästhetik, and a focus on historical context, I present an interpretation in which Schoenberg's reception is strongly determined by early critical responses from Vienna, where conservative views of music's role in society combined with undercurrents of anti-Semitic thought to brand Schoenberg as mentally unstable and his music as socially detrimental.</p> / Dissertation

\"Obwohl er nicht zu unserem Volke gehörte ... \" - so beginnt der Verfasser der ersten rumänischen Musikgeschichte Mihail Grigore Poslusnicu (1871-1936) die Verdienste von Carol Miculi in der Geschichte der rumänischen Musik zu würdigen2. Nicht alle Musikhistoriker unseres Landes sind dem Beispiel dieses Bahnbrechers gefolgt. Etliche von ihnen hielten oder halten Miculi - wenn auch nur stillschweigend - für einen Rumänen, der in Wien studierte, eine Zeit in Paris in Chopins Umkreis leben durfte und ab 1858 in Lemberg seine segensreiche und vielseitige Tätigkeit ausübte - aber ein Rumäne blieb. Octavian Beu (1893-1964), ein geschätzter Jurist und Diplomat seiner Zeit, der auch als ein eifriger Forscher der rumänischen Musikgeschichte großes Ansehen genoß, machte es sich sogar zu seiner erklärten Aufgabe, den \"Fehler\", Miculi nicht für einen Rumänen zu halten, zu verbessern. Diese militante Einstellung ist in der rumänischen Fachliteratur allerdings einmalig.

Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts trat nochmals eine überraschende Wendung in der öffentlichen Meinung zugunsten der Gitarre ein. Sie erklang jetzt in Salons und in vielen Konzerten. Es wurde viel über sie geschrieben. Aber bei wirklichen Musikern genoß die Gitarre immer nur einen Achtungserfolg. Was hat die Gitarre gerettet?

This thesis examines the reception of Pindar's epinicians in the Hellenistic period, and specifically the role played by the book in shaping readerly experience.

This thesis is aimed at Ilija Trojanow's reception in Bulgaria. Ilija Trojanow is Bulgarian born author who writes his works in German. The thesis researches his reception through book reviews published in newspapers in Bulgaria and for a constractive point of view in Germany. At first there is the work of Trojanow presented in the thesis, particular focus is put on the following three books: the novels Die Welt ist groß und Rettung lauer überall, Der Weltensammler and the literary travelogue Hundezeiten. Heimkehr in ein fremdes Land. Consequently, the Bulgarian and the German reviews are analysed. The reception of Ilija Trojanow in Bulgaria is based upon the analysis. Key words: Ilija Trojanow, Bulgaria, reception in Bulgaria, Germany, Die Welt ist groß und Rettung lauer überall, Der Weltensammler, Hundezeiten. Heimkehr in ein fremdes Land, literature, publicism
