Performing sound of the past: Remix in electronic dance music culture

2014

The term remix, defined as an activity of taking data from pre-existing materials to combine them into new forms according to personal taste, relates to various elements and areas of contemporary culture. Whichever model used, consideration of the remix depends on recognition of pre-existing cultural codes. Therefore, as a second layer, the remix relies on the authority of the original and it functions at the meta-level. The audience may see a trace of history with the pre-existing object and the meaning creates in the viewer(s), reader(s), listener(s) or, in the contemporary world of DJs and popular electronic dance music culture - in dancer(s). With the aim of specifying modes of creating…

Intra- and inter-foot coordination in quiet standing: footwear and posture effects.

2012

Intra-foot coordination between center of pressure (COP) of the ball and heel of the foot in single leg standing and inter-foot coordination of the right and left foot during bipedal stance was examined as a function of postural stance (two legs, one leg, and toe postures), footwear (barefoot, different area based high heel shoes) and postural training (ballet group and regular exercising group). Young adult females performed three 20s trials in each postural condition. In general, the traditional variability measures of COPnet motion increased under the less stable postural support conditions and ballet dancers had better balance in single leg standing. Regularity analysis revealed a negat…

Corpo a corpo. Agoni e danze cerimoniali nella Sicilia contemporanea

2018

the choreutical movements of the statues of saints are still today a constitutive and qualifying component of the ritual process of numerous Sicilian religious festivals, in particular those of Easter and the spring-summer ones of the patron saints. The races and dances of the Risen Christ and of the saints are generally accompanied by competitions, struggles, displays of virile attitudes, erotic allusions, the display of gold and evergreen fronds, the consumption of peculiar foods and desserts or a set of ritual symbols of an orgiastic nature which, in referring to an experience of the agro-pastoral world, appear as originally intended to celebrate and promote, at critical moments, the cos…

Video projection mapping e arti performative. Una nuova macchina scenotecnica della visione per generare nuovi spazi aumentati

L’oggetto principale della dissertazione è il video projection mapping, un’applicazione di realtà aumentata che utilizza le tecniche di videoproiezione digitale non su tradizionali schermi di proiezione ma sulla realtà stessa, sugli oggetti fisici, ai quali si adatta e si lega in maniera inestricabile, ibridando il livello fisico-reale e il livello digitale. Al contrario di come spesso è stato considerato, il video projection mapping non è solo un gadget tecnologico dei nostri tempi; quando si ibrida con altri media, come le arti performative, diviene linguaggio metaforico, oltrepassando il suo livello tecnologico per produrre significati, per mediare idee. Considerando il suo uso nello spe…
