Considering that the concept of sustainable development has a function of normative integration in international law, Article 31(3)(c) provides a legitimate basis of such systemic integration. At the same time, it displays the limitations of the harmonious solution drawn from its application because it works only within the rigid consent-based framework in which the referenced rules should be legal “rules” and should be “applicable in the relations between the parties.” International jurisprudence suggests supplemental elements to overleap the consensual limitations in the application of Article 31(3)(c): a generic term and the object and purpose of the treaty. These text-based and the object-and-purpose-based developmental interpretative techniques enable interpreters to consider legal rules that are not “any relevant rules of international law applicable in the relations between the parties” under Article 31(3)(c).

Coloratura arias for soprano were popular with Viennese opera audiences in the late eighteenth century. Prima donnas of the Singspiel and opera buffa companies expected composers to write arias that would display their technical skills, even requesting substitute arias to replace less virtuosic ones in revivals of older operas. However, in using coloratura in the comic opera genres, Mozart was not only creating an opportunity for virtuoso display of the singer's talent, but was also using this vocal style as a dramatic and rhetorical device, one that defined a character's social level. depicted her emotions, and advanced her dramatic situation. This thesis investigates how coloratura functions in Mozart's soprano comic roles by examining the arias of three characters from two different operas: Konstanze and Blonde in the Singspiel Die Enifiihrung aus dem Serail, and Susanna in the opera buffa Le nozze di Figaro. An analysis of these arias shows evidence of Mozart's skill in using coloratura while meeting the conflicting demands of diva and drama.

Cette recherche met en parallèle les cultures germanophone et francophone par l’entremise de l’histoire de la contrebasse. La problématique consiste à expliquer l’absence de littérature en français sur l’école viennoise de contrebasse, qui s’est développée dans la seconde moitié du XVIIIe siècle et qui a eu une certaine incidence sur le développement de cet instrument. La première section propose une biographie des principaux représentants de cette école, tous contrebassistes virtuoses actifs à Vienne autour de 1750. Suivent un tour d’horizon des œuvres pour contrebasse concertante du classicisme viennois, puis un rappel historique sur le déclin de cette école. Dans la deuxième section, un parallèle est tracé entre l’avancée du violoncelle et le recul de la contrebasse au XIXe siècle. Suivent une présentation des instruments les plus appréciés de cette époque, à savoir le piano, le cor français et le violoncelle, puis une comparaison entre l’évolution de la contrebasse en France et dans les pays germanophones au XIXe siècle. Finalement, la troisième section est consacrée à la renaissance de l’école viennoise de contrebasse, amorcée au milieu du XXe siècle. Pour observer le déploiement de cette évolution dans les cultures française, germanophone et anglo-saxonne, cette section comporte un examen des œuvres publiées par les maisons d’édition spécialisées en musique ainsi que de celles enregistrées par les contrebassistes. / This research draws a parallel between the German and the French cultures through the history of the double bass. The problematic consists in explaining the absence of literature in French about the Viennese school of bass playing, which developed in the second half of the 18th century and had a certain impact on the development of this instrument. The first section proposes a biography of the main representatives of this school, which where all virtuosos double bassists in Vienna around 1750. This is followed by an overview of works for solos double bass of the First Viennese School, and a brief history of the decline of this school. In the second section a parallel is drawn between the progress of the violoncello and the decline of the double bass in the 19th century. This is followed by a presentation of the most appreciated instruments of this era, i.e. the piano, the French horn and the violoncello, and a comparison between the evolution of the double bass in France and in the German speaking countries in the 19th century. Finally, the third section is dedicated to the renaissance of the Viennese school of bass playing, which was initiated half way through the 20th century. To look closer to this evolution in the French, German and Anglo-Saxon cultures, this section also includes a review of works published by music publishers and those recorded by double bassists. / Diese Forschung will zwei Kulturen, die deutschsprachige und die französische, in Verbindung mit der Geschichte des Kontrabasses bringen. Die Fragestellung besteht darin, das Versäumnis der französischen Literatur über die Wiener Kontrabassschule zu erklären, eine Schule die sich in der zweiten Hälfte des 18. Jahrhunderts entwickelt und die eine Wirkung auf die Entwicklung dieses Instrumentes gehabt hat. Im ersten Abschnitt wird eine kurze Biographie der Hauptvertreter dieser Schule vorgeschlagen, die alle Kontrabassvirtuose und um 1750 in Wien tätig waren. Es folgt ein Überblick der Werke der Wiener Klassik für konzertanten Kontrabass, dann ein historischer Exkurs über den Niedergang dieser Schule. Im zweiten Abschnitt wird eine Parallele zwischen dem Vorsprung des Violoncellos und dem Rückgang des Kontrebasses im 19. Jahrhundert gezogen. In diesem Abschnitt werden desweiteren die bevorzugten Instrumente dieser Epoche, nämlich das Klavier, das Horn und das Violoncello diskutiert, und die Entwicklung des Kontrabasses in Frankreich und im deutschsprachigen Raum im 19. Jahrhundert verglichen. Schließlich widmet sich der dritte Abschnitt der Renaissance der Wiener Kontrabassschule, die in der Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts begann. Um eine richtige Betrachtung der Entfaltung dieser Entwicklung in den französischen, deutschsprachigen und angelsächsischen Kulturen zu ermöglichen, findet sich in diesem Abschnitt ebenfalls eine Untersuchung der Werke, die von den Musikverlagen veröffentlicht wurden wie auch derjenigen, die von den Kontrabassisten aufgenommenen wurden.

Loos sought to modernize Vienna through the introduction of American and British culture and was known as one of Austria's most notorious cultural critics. Celebrated for breaking with the historicist culture of the late nineteenth century, Loos is often heralded as the father of the Modem Movement, but many of his writings and designs contradict such a classification. This thesis will explore the origins and motives behind Loos' s conception of modernism to suggest a better understanding of his role as cultural critic and architect in Vienna as well as his relationship to the architects and architecture of the subsequent generation. / Committee in Charge: Dr. Leland M. Roth, Chair; Dr. William Sherwin Simmons; Dr. Marilyn S. Linton;

The notion of an "orthodox core-heterodox periphery" structure and the extent of interdisciplinary links have been widely discussed, and partially investigated bibliometrically, within economic discourse. We extend this research by applying tools from social network analysis to citation data of three economics departments located in Vienna, two mainstream and one non-mainstream, to assess their relative citation patterns. We show that both mainstream economics departments follow the asserted core-periphery pattern and have a mono-disciplinary research focus, while the citation network of the non-mainstream department has a polycentric structure and is both more heterodox and interdisciplinary. These findings suggest that discussions about the future of heterodox economics should pay more attention to the organizational level and seek allies from other disciplines.
