Le cadeu du village. Musiche e Studi per Amalia Collisani
2016
Il volume raccoglie ventisei contributi di vari autori italiani e stranieri (ventiquattro saggi e due composizioni, tutti inediti) in onore della musicologa Amalia Collisani (Palermo 1946), che ha concluso nel 2016 un quarantennio di docenza presso l'Università di Palermo. I saggi sono raggruppati in tre sezioni ("Idee, affetti, percezioni", "Tradizioni, strumenti, oralità", "Musiche, Storie, Fonti") e riflettono i numerosi ambiti di interesse della studiosa, internazionalmente nota per i lavori su Jean-Jacques Rousseau e sull'Estetica della musica. Il titolo del volume si rifà scherzosamente all'operina di Rousseau "Le devin du village" e rivendica l'idea di una comunità musicologica coesa…
Musikmoderne als Mittel der Standortbestimmung eines "geistigen deutschen Juden". Ein Blick auf Arnold Schönberg in einer Vorkriegsnovelle Arnold Zwe…
2020
The aim of this article is to present the concept of "Europamüdigkeit" described by the German-Jewish writer Arnold Zweig (1887-1968) in his early work. The analysed novella titled "Quartettsatz von Schönberg" from 1913 is focused on a young emigrant who is exhausted with the European culture and encounters the music of Viennese modernism, bringing a totally new perception of the old continent.

Analysis of gender, age and disability representation in music education textbooks: A research update
2018
According to International and European Law, teachers are encouraged to analyse, challenge and to help to eliminate sexist stereotypes and distortions in curricular materials. We aimed to characterize and compare the efficacy of implementation of the gender equality-based approach in the Spanish educational system, through a content analysis of the illustrations in music education (ME) textbooks following a coding scheme constructed by the research team according to guidelines from previous studies about the depiction of women and girls in ME textbooks during two periods of Spanish democracy: before (1992–2005); and after (2006–2015). Our major findings were: (a) female characters were und…
La música como medio de intervención con niños en situación de exclusión social elevada. Del sentimiento de exclusión al bálsamo musical
2017
Nuestra aportación presenta una experiencia innovadora desde el ámbito musical en la etapa de educación Infantil y en niños con riesgo elevado de exclusión social. Niños con pocos recursos materiales, de diferentes edades y culturas, en una misma aula y en un ambiente de complejidad creciente que pone de manifiesto la privación de los derechos humanos más fundamentales. La música es una herramienta muy válida para superar situaciones adversas, resultando ser a veces la mejor medicina natural y de fácil acceso. Quizá sea porque una mezcla de melodías alegres nos genere un movimiento hacia el lado positivo de la vida. Es un lenguaje universal que no entiende de razas ni clases sociales. Esta …
Genre-adaptive Semantic Computing and Audio-based Modelling for Music Mood Annotation
2016
This study investigates whether taking genre into account is beneficial for automatic music mood annotation in terms of core affects valence, arousal, and tension, as well as several other mood scales. Novel techniques employing genre-adaptive semantic computing and audio-based modelling are proposed. A technique called the ACTwg employs genre-adaptive semantic computing of mood-related social tags, whereas ACTwg-SLPwg combines semantic computing and audio-based modelling, both in a genre-adaptive manner. The proposed techniques are experimentally evaluated at predicting listener ratings related to a set of 600 popular music tracks spanning multiple genres. The results show that ACTwg outpe…
Évaluation d'une expérimentation d'activités musicales en Grande Section maternelle
1994
Une évaluation d'une expérimentation d'activités musicales conduite en grande section de maternelle montre que les enfants qui ont bénéficié d'un enseignement musical spécifique (de 2 ou 4 h hebdomadaires) ont réalisé des performances scolaires supérieures à ceux qui étaient scolarisés dans les classes témoins. Ces résultats valent sur les acquis de fin de grande section mais aussi de façon plus convaincante sur les scores en lecture et en mathématiques en fin de cours préparatoire. Au-delà des effets moyens observés, il apparaît que certains élèves, ceux dont les acquis étaient les plus faibles en début de grande section, les élèves étrangers et ceux qui n'ont pas bénéficié d'une scolarisa…
Effects of the Big Five and musical genre on music-induced movement
2010
Nine-hundred-and-fifty-two individuals completed the Big Five Inventory, and 60 extreme scorers were presented with 30 music excerpts from six popular genres. Music-induced movement was recorded by an optical motion-capture system, the data from which 55 postural, kinematic, and kinetic movement features were computed. These features were subsequently reduced to five principal components of movement representing Local Movement, Global Movement, Hand Flux, Head Speed, and Hand Distance. Multivariate Analyses revealed significant effects on these components of both personality and genre, as well as several interactions between the two. Each personality dimension was associated with a differen…
Elites, communities and the limited benefits of mentorship in electronic music
2020
AbstractWhile the emergence of success in creative professions, such as music, has been studied extensively, the link between individual success and collaboration is not yet fully uncovered. Here we aim to fill this gap by analyzing longitudinal data on the co-releasing and mentoring patterns of popular electronic music artists appearing in the annual Top 100 ranking of DJ Magazine. We find that while this ranking list of popularity publishes 100 names, only the top 20 is stable over time, showcasing a lock-in effect on the electronic music elite. Based on the temporal co-release network of top musicians, we extract a diverse community structure characterizing the electronic music industry.…
Il rosso e il nero: la popular music italiana di destra e di sinistra su Facebook
2021
L’Italia ha conosciuto una lunga e importante tradizione di militanza politica, che oggi è proposta anche attraverso i nuovi media. Nel capitolo analizziamo, attraverso la social network analysis, le reti d’interazione su Facebook delle pagine di cantanti e musicisti italiani riconducibili alle aree ideologiche di destra e di sinistra. L’analisi di rete è andata apparentandosi con quello che, in sociologia, viene definito “approccio istituzionalista” all’analisi culturale, da cui prendiamo spunto. Vengono descritte le caratteristiche strutturali del “dominio culturale digitale” di destra e di sinistra, s’individuano gli attori, i gruppi e le organizzazioni più influenti, e vengono messi in …
