From piano to stage : a genealogy of musical ideas in the piano works of Sergei Prokofiev (1900-c.1920)Guillaumier, Christina January 2010 (has links)
This thesis is a study of Prokofiev's musical ideas as they emerge in his early writing for piano. It is concerned with elucidating the connections between Prokofiev's pianistic technique and his compositional technique. In doing so, the study explores the genealogy of composer's musical gestures and thematic ideas. Both his playing and his compositional styles have been labelled as distinctive: the thesis attempts to deconstruct that distinctiveness by pinpointing the origins of the composer's playing and compositional styles, tracing their gradual evolution into a mature idiom. The first chapter is concerned with Prokofiev's juvenilia (1898 to c. 1906). Drawing upon a large amount of previously unpublished archival resources, this chapter uncovers the original gestures and thematic ideas which characterize Prokofiev's early style. The next chapter focuses on Prokofiev's period at the St Petersburg Conservatory, tracing his development into a virtuoso pianist, examining the nature of that virtuosity and chronicling the creation of Prokofiev's performing persona. The gestures and idea- types identified in the first chapter are then examined within the context of Prokofiev's works for solo piano, his early works with orchestra and his first two major operas. Conclusions are then drawn about the nature of Prokofiev's distinctiveness, his compositional legacy and about his current position as a major twentieth-century composer.

Piano Sonatas Six, Seven and Eight of ProkofievAllen, Daniel Joseph 01 1900 (has links)
The Sixth, Seventh, and E Piano Sonatas of Prokofiev illustrate the composer's more mature style. In these works there is a definite return to the classic forms and contrapuntal devices which have been called Neo-classicism. Prokofiev, himself, has said that form is one of the basic elements of his style. It is the purpose of this thesis to discover the' formal organization and make a comparison of these sonatas with the works of Beethoven and his contemporaries.

La revolución sí será filmada : análisis de la transmisión de ideologías en La huelga, de Sergei M. Eisentein, y La primera carga del machete, de Manuel Octavio GómezAmes Ramello, Natalia Graciela 17 November 2011 (has links)
La relación entre la política y los medios de comunicación se ha
estudiado desde diversas aproximaciones (psicología, filosofía, ciencias
políticas, entre otras áreas) y durante el siglo XX se abrió un campo nuevo de
investigación y debate debido a la aparición de medios masivos como la radio,
el cine y la televisión: se dio inicio así a los media studies1
.
Las teorías de la comunicación se han dedicado a investigar los efectos
de los medios sobre la población; durante el siglo XX encontramos a los
teóricos de la Escuela de Frankfurt, los funcionalistas, la perspectiva de
McLuhan, entre otras. Todos estos estudiosos señalaron la influencia del cine
para establecer patrones de conducta o simpatías hacia determinadas
ideologías.
La presente investigación se centrará en aquellas películas que han
pretendido transmitir una ideología específica: el marxismo. Pero dentro de las
películas que han tratado este corpus ideológico podemos encontrar dos
grupos: las que se realizaron como filmes de resistencia frente a un gobierno
de oposición y buscaban transformar las ideas de su nación (como el cine
militante latinoamericano o el cine de Godard en su etapa de izquierdista
radical), y las que, por el contrario, contaban con el apoyo de un gobierno de
ideas marxistas interesado en legitimar el sistema político existente.

A Pragmatic Standard of Legal ValidityTyler, John 2012 May 1900 (has links)
American jurisprudence currently applies two incompatible validity standards to determine which laws are enforceable. The natural law tradition evaluates validity by an uncertain standard of divine law, and its methodology relies on contradictory views of human reason. Legal positivism, on the other hand, relies on a methodology that commits the analytic fallacy, separates law from its application, and produces an incomplete model of law.
These incompatible standards have created a schism in American jurisprudence that impairs the delivery of justice. This dissertation therefore formulates a new standard for legal validity. This new standard rejects the uncertainties and inconsistencies inherent in natural law theory. It also rejects the narrow linguistic methodology of legal positivism.
In their stead, this dissertation adopts a pragmatic methodology that develops a standard for legal validity based on actual legal experience. This approach focuses on the operations of law and its effects upon ongoing human activities, and it evaluates legal principles by applying the experimental method to the social consequences they produce. Because legal history provides a long record of past experimentation with legal principles, legal history is an essential feature of this method.
This new validity standard contains three principles. The principle of reason requires legal systems to respect every subject as a rational creature with a free will. The principle of reason also requires procedural due process to protect against the punishment of the innocent and the tyranny of the majority. Legal systems that respect their subjects' status as rational creatures with free wills permit their subjects to orient their own behavior. The principle of reason therefore requires substantive due process to ensure that laws provide dependable guideposts to individuals in orienting their behavior.
The principle of consent recognizes that the legitimacy of law derives from the consent of those subject to its power. Common law custom, the doctrine of stare decisis, and legislation sanctioned by the subjects' legitimate representatives all evidence consent.
The principle of autonomy establishes the authority of law. Laws must wield supremacy over political rulers, and political rulers must be subject to the same laws as other citizens. Political rulers may not arbitrarily alter the law to accord to their will.
Legal history demonstrates that, in the absence of a validity standard based on these principles, legal systems will not treat their subjects as ends in themselves. They will inevitably treat their subjects as mere means to other ends. Once laws do this, men have no rest from evil.
