Focal Points in Collective Free Improvisation
2013
OLLECTIVE FREE IMPROVISATION (herein abbreviated as CFI), while not a recent phenomenon in music (free jazz’s first experiments date from the late 1950s), remains under-studied. The extant literature either deals with political aspects (Carles and Comolli 2000) or tries to analyze the resulting music, using musicological tools (Jost 1994) or new concepts drawn from the complexity sciences (Borgo 2005). My research on CFI focuses on a cognitive approach, in order to understand the process of collective improvisation: 1 how a group of improvisers who do not know each other and are not using a common referent 2 (Pressing 1988) can answer the challenge of making music together. This paper deals…

Redefinición y positivación de la figura de Helena en la trilogía troyana de Eurípides
2017
Traditionally it has been considered that the change in the configuration of the character of Helen in Euripides does not take place until its tragedy Helen . This is, without doubt, the central work in which the redefinition and positivation of Helen will reach a full theatrical development. We think, with everything, that a more attentive reading of the motives used in previous tragedies gives us the key for the correct interpretation of the innovations that the author is introducing in the tragic characterization of this mythical figure. This process can be fixed in a convulsed period in the Athenian life, which goes from Nicias’s Peace to Euripides’ definitive march of Athens.
La representación de la "femme fatale" en el universo narrativo de "Muerte de un ciclista" (Juan Antonio Bardem, 1955)
2017
Este artículo analiza la representación de la femme fatale en Muerte de un ciclista (Juan Antonio Bardem, 1955) como un recurso sintomático de la disidencia de Bardem respecto a la dictadura franquista. Partiendo de una perspectiva interdisciplinar que considera las aportaciones de la teoría semiótica y la teoría fílmica feminista, se aplica una metodología de análisis textual que atiende tanto a la estructura narrativa del film como a los procesos de significación, visuales y sintácticos, asociados a la femme fatale. Las conclusiones del análisis muestran un estereotipo fuertemente codificado y anclado en la narrativa clásica de la sanción, revelando la dificultad de articular, en el cine …
El léxico coloquial argentino en los “sketches” humorísticos
2017
En la lengua española encontramos una gran riqueza dialectológica y es, precisamente, esa variedad la que explica la existencia de identidades lingüísticas en cada una de las comunidades hispanas. Mediante el léxico coloquial, podemos observar uno de los ámbitos más diferenciales y, por lo tanto, identitarios en cada una de esas comunidades; de hecho, para este artículo se propone analizar, concretamente, el léxico coloquial argentino. Siguiendo esta búsqueda lingüística de lo propio, se ha trabajado sobre un contexto donde el registro sea actual, popular y coloquial, como es el caso del ámbito humorístico. De esta manera, nos proponemos en este trabajo encontrar aquellas voces propias del …
Contemporary performance art by Helena Walsh: embodiment as empowerment in an Irish context
2016
Ever since the 1970s, performance artists have used their bodies as a means to question the patriarchal control of women. In Ireland, where the body is at the center of debates over contraception, abortion and divorce, feminist performance art has proved particularly pertinent to substitute the real experiential body to the allegorical or fetishized female body. Through her performances, Helena Walsh incites the viewers to respond to the effect of ideology on the physical body. Embodiment, impersonation and incorporation make the body explicit and reopen historical wounds.
Theatricalization of self : personal blogs as theatre performance
2012
The aim of this thesis is to compare personal blogs and theatre art. The study is conducted as theoretical discourse and focuses on comparison of personal blogs with a subgenre of theatre art, performance art. Using actual selected examples from theatre art as well as from personal blogs, the study aims to outline the similarities, which personal blogs share with theatre performance. The theoretical framework of the thesis suggests that personal blogs with their nature of the observed subject, the blogger, and the observer, the reader, produce one of the basic elements of theatre art, theatricality. Furthermore, personal blogs are placed closer to postdramatic theatre, a form of theatre art…

¿Música o magia? La presentación de las ondas musicales de Maurice Martenot en España
2015
On 1928, the French musician Maurice Martenot presented at Paris Opera a new electronic musical instrument which he called musical waves. It had success like only a few and attracted the interest of the composers, Martenot strove to spread it with a initial tour that took it all around the world between 1931 and 1932. From the information given by the press –because there are not more references– this article aims to rebuild the presentation of the instrument in Spain all along 1932, to report about the reception by the review and to justify the mystery that involved the instrument because of its unknown electronic running and its performance only with the hands movement on the air.En 1928,…
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…
