Albums were books with blank pages in which the owner collected contributions in the form of poetry, drawings, and music scores. These works were created for album owners by friends, acquaintances, and sometimes even suitors, and were meant to pay tribute to them. It is possible to imagine the album as a space of intense social and economic rivalry, in which owners of the books competed with one another to obtain the most luxurious books, and to fill them with the greatest number of entries from renowned artists. Similarly, contributors implicitly competed with one another to create the highest quality entries and contribute to albums that advanced their status as artists. However, established writers did not need further publicity, and many complained about the hassle of the constant request for contributions. To highlight the scope of the album phenomenon, and the frustration it caused writers and artists, José Zorrilla denounced album entry requests, stating that he had been solicited for album contributions a total of 188,000 times in his life. Honoré de Balzac condemned the album fashion even more fervently, declaring: “To hell with all albums.” I study the album as a practice that provides important information regarding gender, economic, and artistic exchanges in the milieus in which it flourished. My approach is based on the study of different types of texts. First, I analyze three essays on social customs that present the album from a perspective that mixes journalism and satire: iv Victor-Joseph Etienne de Jouy’s 1811 essays “Des Album” and “Recherches sur l’Album et sur le chiffonier sentimental,” and Mariano José de Larra’s 1835 essay “El album.” I use these essays to formulate a contextual theory on the album. I also examine nineteenth-century albums that I consulted in archives in France and Spain. Studying both the material construction of the albums and the contributions included in them, I try to understand the social and economic determinants of this social custom. Through the album entries, I explore the artistic networks established through, and exploited by, the album phenomenon, which were essential for successfully collecting contributions. Finally, I analyze fictional texts in which the album serves as a pivotal plot element used to shape the development of the stories and the roles of the protagonists. In my analysis of literary texts that portray the album, I focus on the establishment of gender and economic exchanges in this practice. I explore the imposition of traditional gender roles in the album phenomenon, according to which women were exclusively album owners and men were contributors. In my analysis of fictional texts, I also examine the economic aspect of this practice, reflecting upon the social class of the fictional characters involved in it. The literary texts that I study are: Honoré de Balzac’s La Muse du département (1837), Manuel Bretón de los Herreros’ El poeta y la beneficiada. Comedia en dos actos (1838) and El cuarto de hora. Comedia en cinco actos (1848), Juan de Ariza’s “Historia de un album” (1847), Henri de Meilhac’s L’autographe. Comédie en un acte (1858), Antonio Flores’ “Cuadro cincuenta y uno. Placeres de sobremesa” (1863), José María de v Pereda’s Pedro Sánchez (1883), Juan López Valdemoro’s “El álbum” (1886), and Leopoldo Alas ‘Clarín’’s “Album-abanico” (1898). The nineteenth century saw the rise of consumer culture and the proliferation of objects, such as cardholders, parasols, fans, pocket watches, and other trinkets. The album is at once part of this plethora of nineteenth-century objects and yet it is also distinct, in that it was a special piece of material culture that promoted a particular type of personal communication and required the creation of textual production. The album was established as a unique cultural manifestation, the study of which allows for a reconstruction of different types of social dynamics in its milieu. Due to the complexity and richness of this object-centered practice, and the ways in which it developed, the album offers multiple analytical possibilities, as a social, historical, and literary phenomenon. One of the most significant contributions of this project lies in its transnational perspective and in its comparative analysis of different types of texts: essays on social customs, literary texts, and personal collections that survive in archival albums. The study of the exchanges that were fostered, and capitalized upon, through the album fashion is essential for understanding notions of private and public and collection as a practice. My analysis of the album yields invaluable insights into gender and class dynamics, ideas of art, and visual and material culture in nineteenth-century France and Spain. vi Dedication To my mother, who was not able to finish high school.

    Gian-Carla Tisera: Nora la Bella September 30, 2014 7:00 PM Americas Society 680 Park Avenue New York, NY Dear friends, As Music of the Americas regulars know, Bolivia was very rich in Catholic religious music during the baroque. My first contact with Gian-Carla Tisera’s voice came years ago, in her previous musical life as a classically-trained singer in a beautiful CD of music from the missions of the east of the country. Over the past few years, Gian-Carla took an unexpected (for me) musical turn and started combining her multiple musics, literate and traditional, new and old, Bolivian and foreign, to forge a typically New York style with her own compositions and novel interpretations of songs that she loves. We are delighted to welcome her and her band of musicians and dancers to Music of the Americas and to welcome you to our hall for the 14-15 season. Thank you for joining us. Sebastian Zubieta, Music Director The MetLife Foundation Music of the Americas concert series is made possible by the generous support of Presenting Sponsor MetLife Foundation. This program is also supported, in part, by an award from the National Endowment for the Arts. In-kind support for this performance is provided by the Bolivian-American Chamber of Commerce.

  • Artistic Fabrics, Unique Portraits (I)
    33 OPEN SOURCE LANGUAGE VERSION > CATALÀ Artistic fabrics, unique portraits (I) by Sílvia Carbonell Basté Textil Museum and Documentation Centre PH.D. student Art History, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona Photographs: ©CDMT, Quico Ortega Conserved in museums and private homes across Catalonia are a series of artistic fabrics – or woven artworks – that share many similarities with engravings and photographs but reflect a unique production technique popularised in a specific period in the history of the textile industry. These limited edition decorative fabrics generally feature portraits of illustrious figures (monarchs, politicians, military leaders, captains of industry), historical, religious or commemorative scenes, or reproductions of famous paintings, created in black and white silk on a Jacquard loom. In Catalonia, the majority of these fabrics were produced over the period between 1862 and 1974. These Jacquard pieces, originally referred to as artistic, or “singular”, fabrics, came to the museums from private owners who recognised their value in marking a crucial period in the transformation of the textile industry. The private collectors who donated the pieces all had a direct link of some sort to textile production, whether as teachers, theorists, merchants or artists. The fact that many of the fabrics bore the company name, the artist’s signature, the production date, or the name of the director and even the school at which they were plotted and weaved makes them, if nothing else, unique pieces, distinct from any other textile produced until that time and freely available on the market. These singular pieces also serve to illustrate the successful marriage of technology with the skill of the artist.

  • Machen Sie Mit Beim Partyspaß Aus Japan! TIPPS Für Sänger/Innen Und Publikum
    Würden Sie gern mal wieder singen, trauen sich aber nicht? Sie haben Angst, Ihre Stimme klingt etwas dünn und sie treffen vielleicht nicht immer ganz genau den Ton? Die DISCO 84 bietet ihnen heute die Chance in die Rolle von Frank Sinatra, Whitney Houston, den Backstreet Boys oder Marianne Rosenberg zu schlüpfen und der Star des KARAOKE-Abends zu werden. Karaoke kommt aus dem Japanischen und heißt übersetzt „leeres Orchester“. Der Karaokestar singt auf der Bühne zum Playback des Titels. Er wird von einem Monitor unterstützt, der den Text wiedergibt und im entscheidenden Moment die Textfarbe synchron zur Musik wechselt und so die fehlende Textsicherheit gibt. Beispiel: The Beatles – Yellow Submarine Machen Sie mit beim Partyspaß aus Japan! TIPPS für Sänger/Innen und Publikum Nicht singen zu können ist noch lange kein Grund nicht zu singen. Wer sprechen kann, der kann auch singen Wer sagt, "ich kann nicht singen" lügt. Es liegt nicht an der fehlenden Stimme, sondern am fehlenden Mut. Singen ist einfach. Es wird nur etwas verkompliziert durch das Publikum, die Soundanlage, die Bühne, die Lichter... Es ist nicht schlimm, Fehler beim Singen zu machen ... solange du sie als Teil deiner Show integrierst. Die meisten Fehler beim Auftritt werden kaum wahrgenommen, Der einzige, der sie bemerkt, ist meistens nur der Sänger selbst. Singen bedeutet nicht Kommunikation zwischen Mund und Ohr, sondern zwischen Herz und Herz. Es ist nicht die Qualität der Stimme, die einen Auftritt erfolgreich macht, sondern der Ausdruck. Man muss nicht unbedingt den höchsten Ton des Songs erreichen, nur die Herzen der Zuschauer Jeder Sänger sollte Applaus bekommen, wenn er super war, aber auch wenn er so schlecht war, dass ihr froh seid dass es vorbei ist.
