“The Right Amount of Odd”: Vocal Compulsion, Structure, and Groove in Two Love Songs from Around the World in a Day
2020
In this music-analytic interpretation of two love songs from Prince’s Around the World in a Day album, we investigate the properties of groove, arrangement, and vocality, all of which contribute to the artist’s inimitable signature. With a disciplinary grounding in musicology, we demonstrate ways whereby musical features are associated with meaning in recorded songs. Underlying the approach is the notion that it is in the music where Prince’s ingenuity mainly lies. The analysis is informed by an understanding of the technological ramifications of the process on the part of Prince and his audio engineer Susan Rogers.
KOMUNIKASI NIKLAS LUHMANN DALAM MEMBANGUN KERUKUNAN ANTAR UMAT BERAGAMA DI WILAYAH PERKOTAAN
2020
Religious plurality in the era of globalization is a necessity in the midst of cultural heterogeneity, religious expression and religion itself. Religious plurality has a very large potential and role in the process of integrating the development of the Indonesian nation in the future. However, on the other hand, religious plurality contains the potential for conflict and disintegration of the nation, because the dominance of the absolute truth claims of each religion so that emotions become the basis of interaction and communication. Therefore, communication becomes a pillar of religious harmony. To achieve religious harmony, this research uses a qualitative-descriptive method that puts wi…
Moritz Hauptmann in München. Hochschuldidaktik im 19. Jahrhundert
2014
Dass Moritz Hauptmanns Buch Die Natur der Harmonik und der Metrik zur Basis institutionalisierter musiktheoretischer Unterweisung wurde, wie an der Koniglich bayerischen Musikschule in Munchen nachweisbar, mag angesichts des hohen Abstraktionsgrads dieser Schrift verwundern. Besonders der Unterricht in der ersten Dekade an der Musikschule kann als einzigartiges Exempel der systematischen Anwendung Hauptmanns in der Lehre verstanden werden. Der Beitrag erortert die Bedeutung der Schrift Hauptmanns fur die Lehre der wichtigsten Fachvertreter nach Grundung der Musikschule (Peter Cornelius und Josef Gabriel Rheinberger), sowie – als Verfallsgeschichte – in der Zeit nach Cornelius’ fruhem Tod un…
El ecofeminismo
2017
El Ecofeminismo, más allá de una tendencia, es un modo de ver la vida y los procesos que de ella subyacen, es por tanto una filosofía de trabajo. Este modo de entender la existencia, basado en la reivindicación de modelos no patriarcales y holísticos, está surcado por diferentes tendencias, desde experiencias diversas, pero nacen de un tronco común y complementan un modo de estar del mundo: la conciencia de ser naturaleza. Estos principios de trabajo, por la riqueza de los mismos, podrían muy bien ayudar a hilvanar el discurso transversal de un programa formativo basado en el humanismo muy en sintonía con la Educación Popular.
The Complexity of Risk and Uncertainty Assessment
2017
Abstract Risk reduction means diminishing uncertainties and strengthening the knowledge. There are many ways in which undesirable surprises can be understood and controlled, but the dominating one is the risk approach, on the basis of risk conceptualization, evaluation and risk management. Across time, many progresses have been accomplished in the field of risk, connected not only to the conceptual part, but also to the empirical procedures. Despite this, the premise of this domain is being represented to a substantial extend by theories and practices. This is why it is indispensable to search for trends in the risk framework, to reveal whether further development should be desired and if u…
Natura e alterita: ancora sull'Aria del Tasso di Giuseppe Tartini:
2014
La passione di Giuseppe Tartini per la musica popolare è attestata da quattro versioni per violino dell’Aria del Tasso. L’Aria rientra nell’ambito di una nuova poetica che ricerca la verità nei canti di natura. Come i musicografi della generazione successiva, il violinista attribuisce alla semplicità un ruolo paradigmatico per separare il concetto di natura dal concetto di artificio. Per cui, il semplice canto di popolo, assieme alla musica greca del periodo classico e alla musica delle «nazioni» non evolute, è più vicino allo stato primigenio, ossia allo stato di natura e quindi alla verità. A questo problema si collegano tre fasi del pensiero del trattatista, in cui il termine natura subi…
La perspectiva de la sostenibilidad en la sociedad del conocimiento interconectado: gobernanza, educación, ética
2013
El presente artículo pretende estimular la reflexión sobre la introducción de la perspectiva de la sostenibilidad en las nuevas sociedades de la información y del conocimiento sustentadas por las TIC, y caracterizadas por una globalización que dista mucho de ser inclusiva. Implica la construcción de un sistema mundial que promueva la búsqueda de la calidad ambiental, la justicia social y una economía equitativa y viable a largo plazo. La UNESCO ha señalado tres caminos básicos para conseguirlo: la gobernanza, la educación y la éticaLa gobernanza puede propiciar una conectividad social equitativa, cambios en los modelos de producción y consumo y la búsqueda y aplicación de soluciones reales …
Measurement of formal harmonization progress:
2002
Abstract As a result of globalization, the accounting profession has become increasingly aware of the need to establish a single set of accounting standards that would be valid in the international arena. Recent events highlight the timeliness of this study, which provides an empirical measurement of International Accounting Standards Committee (IASC) progress throughout its harmonization history. The purpose of this article is twofold: first, a new measure of the advances achieved through formal harmonization and second, to use this methodology to evaluate the IASC achievements all through its standard-setting activity. Our results prove that the IASC has made great progress in regard to t…
Individual and culture-level components of survey response styles: A multi-level analysis using cultural models of selfhood
2016
Variations in acquiescence and extremity pose substantial threats to the validity of cross-cultural research that relies on survey methods. Individual and cultural correlates of response styles when using 2 contrasting types of response mode were investigated, drawing on data from 55 cultural groups across 33 nations. Using 7 dimensions of self-other relatedness that have often been confounded within the broader distinction between independence and interdependence, our analysis yields more specific understandings of both individual- and culture-level variations in response style. When using a Likert-scale response format, acquiescence is strongest among individuals seeing themselves as simi…
