It will increase the opportunities for access to and creative re-use of Europeana’s audio and audio-related content and will build a sustainable Best Practice Network of stakeholders in the content value chain to aggregate, enrich and share a critical mass of audio that meets the needs of public audiences, the creative industries (notably publishers) and researchers. The consortium of 24 partners will: ● Double the number of audio items accessible through Europeana to over 1 million and improve geographical and thematic coverage by aggregating items with widespread popular appeal such as contemporary and classical music, traditional and folk music, the natural world, oral memory and languages and dialects. ● Add meaningful contextual knowledge and medium-specific metadata to 2 million items in Europeana’s audio and audio-related collections, developing techniques for cross-media and cross- collection linking. ● Develop and validate audience specific sound channels and a distributed crowd-sourcing infrastructure for end-users that will improve Europeana’s search facility, navigation and user experience. These can then be used for other communities and other media. ● Engage music publishers and rights holders in efforts to make more material accessible online through Europeana by resolving domain constraints and lack of access to commercially unviable (i.e. out-of-commerce) content. These outcomes will be achieved through a network of leading sound archives working with specialists in audiovisual technology, rights issues, and software development. The network will expand to include other data-providers and mainstream distribution platforms (Historypin, Spotify, SoundCloud) to ensure the widest possible availability of their content.

  • Deutschlandlied, Nationalhymne Und Verfassungstreue Oder: Später Dank an Schulleitung Und Lehrerkollegium
    Deutschlandlied, Nationalhymne und Verfassungstreue Oder: Später Dank an Schulleitung und Lehrerkollegium Kenner der damals handelnden Personen werden annehmen, der zweite Satz im Titel könne nur ironisch gemeint sein. In der Tat gehörte ich nicht zu den Schülern, an denen die Lehrer ungeteilte Freude hatten. Aber der Satz ist ernst gemeint. Der Vorfall, über den ich berichten will, verdient festgehalten zu werden, allein schon aus dem Grund, weil er meines Erachtens der damaligen Schulleitung zur Ehre gereicht. Es war Ende Oktober 1958, Landtagswahlkampf in Hessen, und der Vorsitzende der Deut- schen Partei (DP), Bundesverkehrsminister (im Kabinett Adenauer) Dr. Ing. Christoph See- bohm hatte sich gemeinsam mit dem Marburger Landtagskandidaten der DP, Landgerichts- direktor Dr. Friedrich Frohwein, zu einer „Großkundgebung“ in den Marburger Stadtsälen angesagt. Rolf Dehn, Christian Hauffe, Albrecht von Stosch und ich waren politisch interes- siert, Oberstufenschüler des Philippinums, und wir besuchten die Kundgebung. Es war kurz vor dem Wahlgang und Seebohm richtete scharfe Angriffe gegen die hessische Landesregierung, besonders auf dem Gebiet der Personal- und Kulturpolitik. Wir staunten nicht schlecht, als der Minister am Ende seiner Rede die Anwesenden aufforderte, das „Deutschlandlied“ zu singen, „und zwar von der ersten bis zur dritten Strophe“. Hierzu muss man wissen, dass es mit der Nationalhymne im geteilten Deutschland damals eine schwierige Sache war. In der DDR hatte man schnell eine neue Hymne zur National- hymne erklärt ( J. R. Bechers „Auferstanden aus Ruinen und der Zukunft zugewandt ...“). Im Westen hatte sich Bundespräsident Theodor Heuß in einem Kompromiss mit Bundeskanzler Dr. Konrad Adenauer im Mai 1952 dahingehend verständigt, dass das Deutschlandlied zwar Nationalhymne bleibt, jedoch nur die dritte Strophe („Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit“ ...) gesungen wird.

  • Measuring Individual Identity: Experimental Evidence
    Measuring Individual Identity: Experimental Evidence Alexander Kuo Center for Advanced Study in the Social Sciences Juan March Institute [email protected] Yotam Margalit Department of Political Science Columbia University [email protected] Abstract What determines the identity category people feel they most belong to? What is the political significance of one’s proclaimed identity? Recent research addresses this question using surveys that explicitly ask individuals about their identity. Yet little is known about the nature of the attachments conveyed in responses to identity questions. We conduct a set of studies and experiments that investigate these reported attachments. Our findings suggest that: (1) the purported identity captured in survey responses varies significantly within subjects over time; (2) changes in people’s primary identity can be highly influenced by situational triggers; (3) changes in purported self-identity do not imply a corresponding change in policy preferences. Our results are drawn from three studies that vary in terms of design, country sample, and research instrument. The findings have implications for research on identity choice, as well as on the use of surveys in studying the role of identity in comparative politics. 1 ―We have spoken to many people in this country [X] and they have all described themselves in different ways. Some people describe themselves in terms of their language, religion, race, and others describe themselves in economic terms, such as working class, middle class, or a farmer. Besides being [a citizen of X], which specific group do you feel you belong to first and foremost?‖ [Afrobarometer Surveys, 1999-2002] Introduction What determines the identity category people feel they belong to? What is the political significance of one’s proclaimed identity? The answers to these questions are important for understanding phenomena such as policy preferences, social cleavages, and perhaps even political conflict.

  • Values and Configuration of Users in the Design of Software Source Code
    International Journal of Communication 11(2017), 1112–1132 1932–8036/20170005 Values and Configuration of Users in the Design of Software Source Code STÉPHANE COUTURE1 Glendon College, York University, Canada Based on an empirical study of two free and open source software projects, this article focuses on how choices of design within software source code are articulated with values and may favor certain categories of actors over others. After introducing the aim and approach of the study and presenting the studied projects, the article analyzes two controversies that show the articulation of values, configuration of users, and source code design. In conclusion, I argue for the importance for communication and media studies to study the use of source code and how its design may reflect values or may facilitate or constrain the agencies of certain categories of people. Keywords: software source code, free and open source software, digital technologies, configuration of users, values, science and technology studies When I am a graphic designer, my interface is Photoshop, with its buttons, its windows, etc. When I am developer, my interface is code. It is through code that I interact with what I am building, a program. (Interview sf03, July 2009) This quote from an interview I conducted in the course of this study grasps a fundamental argument I want to bring forward in this article: that software source code should be analyzed as an interface with which actors interact to build or modify software. Although metaphors of code are regularly mobilized in communication studies, few studies seem to have been done to closely and empirically investigate what source code exactly is and how its design may reflect values or may facilitate or restrain the capacity of some people to participate in the making of digital technologies.

Having played the instru- ment for, then, almost two decades, I thought that a novelist would not, could not, feature specialty instruments such as the C-melody sax if he did not play the horn himself. Once the saxophone had caught my attention, I noticed all sorts of uncommon references that seemed to confirm my hunch that Thomas Pynchon himself played the instrument: McClintic Sphere’s 4½ reed, the contra- bass sax of Against the Day, Gravity’s Rainbow’s Charlie Parker passage.

  • Maamme Unser Land
    Maamme Unser Land Finnische Nationalhymne seit 1848 Text: Johan Ludwig Runeberg (1804 – 1877) Melodie: Fredrik Pacius (1809 – 1891) Finnlands Nationalhymne (Maamme, nebenan Titelseite) wurde ursprünglich als Prolog zu Runebergs Dichtung Erzählungen des Fähnrich Stahl verfasst. Die erste Aufführung fand am 13. Mai 1848 statt. Die finnische Nachdichtung des Textes wurde 1889 von Paavo Cajander (1846 – 1913) erstellt. Der aktuelle Text der Hymne geht aber zurück auf eine aus dem Jahr 1867 stammende Übersetzung von Julius Krohn (1835 – 1888). Bei offiziellen Anlässen werden gewöhnlicherweise nur die erste und die letzte (11.) Strophe gesungen. Die autonome Inselgruppe Åland besitzt eine eigene Nationalhymne, Ålänningens sång („Lied des Åländers“). Dieselbe Melodie dient auch in Estland als Nationalhymne (wieder seit der Unabhängigkeit 1990) gesungen mit dem Text Mu isamaa („Mein Vaterland“). Auch die Liven verwenden die Melodie für ihre Hymne Min iz āmō. Seit 1923 ist die Religionsfreiheit in der finnischen Verfassung garantiert. Die Evangelisch- Lutherische Kirche und die Orthodoxe Kirche sind per Gesetz als Volkskirchen festgeschrieben und genießen besondere Vorrechte. Ihre Mitglieder zahlen eine Kirchensteuer in Höhe von 1 bis 2,25 % ihres Einkommens, zudem erhalten die Volkskirchen staatliche Zuwendungen für soziale und karitative Zwecke und Instandsetzungsaufgaben. Obwohl die finnische Gesellschaft weitgehend säkularisiert ist, sind rund 80 % der Bevölkerung konfessionell gebunden. Hymnentext 1. und 11. von 11 Strophen (von Benny Benz ) (1.) O Heimat, Finnland unser Land Kling laut, du teures Wort! Kein Land, so weit der Himmelsrand. Kein Land mit Berg und Tal und Strand Wird mehr geliebt als unser Nord, Hier unsrer Väter Hort. (2.) Einst ringt sich deine Blüte los Reif aus der Knospe Zwang.

Vicisitudes del símbolo foral de los vascos* FÉLIX LUENGO TEIXIDOR ANDER DELGADO CENDAGORTAGALARZA Dpto. de Historia Contemporánea de la UPV L 7 de octubre de 1936, tras la aprobación por parte de las Cortes Españolas del Estatuto Vasco y la proclamación del primer go- E bierno autónomo vasco, el presidido por José Antonio Agui- rre, que por primera vez en su historia unía política y administrati- vamente a las provincias vascas, aunque solo fuera sobre el papel —no de facto, dado que las tropas franquistas controlaban ya para entonces buena parte de su territorio, reduciendo su control real poco más que a Vizcaya—, el nuevo ejecutivo autónomo se reunió en la villa de Gernika para jurar solemnemente sus cargos bajo el roble secular, símbolo de las «libertades» vascas. Muchos años des- pués, superados los largos años del franquismo y su dictadura, re- suelto el proceso de transición política que permitió recuperar la democracia y la autonomía con la aprobación del Estatuto de la Co- munidad Autónoma Vasca de 1979, el nuevo gobierno vasco nacido de las urnas, presidido por el peneuvista Carlos Garaikoetxea, vol- vió a elegir Gernika, y su Árbol, como lugar simbólico del juramento de su cargo. Una tradición que, desde entonces, han mantenido los sucesivos lehendakaris que han ido presidiendo los gobiernos au- tónomos del País Vasco hasta nuestros días, siempre con mayoría del PNV. Con ello no han hecho más que recoger una vieja práctica asumida por todos que, cuando menos desde la primera mitad del siglo XIX, es decir, durante todo el período en el que se ha ido pro- duciendo la conocida como «cuestión vasca» y sus problemas de in- tegración en la España liberal, fijaba en Gernika y en su roble, el principal referente simbólico de sus fueros y libertades, en el esce- nario más idóneo para todo tipo de actos de exaltación foral, auto- nómica, nacionalista o identitaria en general.

  • The Greek Marseillaise of Rhigas Velestinlis
    THE GREEK MARSEILLAISE OF RHIGAS VELESTINLIS The Court archives of the investigation held at Vienna on Rhigas’ arrest turn our attention to a re-study of the subject, even if we lacked all other evi­ dence about his having composed A poem, which is A free version, or A mere imitation of the French Marseillaise.1 In the reports of the Austrian examiner it is recorded that, as appears from the testimony of Dr. Demetrios Nicolides, one of the principal persons among those accused, and as confirmed by the statements of those indicted with him, the “conspirators” meeting at Argenti’s home sang, besides Rhigas’ War March, some strophes of the Marseillaise Allons enfants.г Elsewhere, from the testimony of Kaspar Peters, instructor in French, the Austrian inquiry brings to light that Philip Petrovich, the youngest and most enthusiastic of Rhigas’ companions, asked of Peters (as Petrovich himself knew no French),'to translate into German apparently the text of the Marseillaise. Peters promised, but in the end only copied the text, which he handed over to Petrovich.13 2 Rhigas followed the events of the French Revolution with anxious inter­ est, as he drew his political ideology from it, and relied on its contribution for the liberation of Greece. So he used to instil his revolutionary spirit into his comrades by applying the music of French rebel songs to free renderings of them into Greek, or to verses of his own inspiration. It would seam strange to us if he had ignored, or passed over in silence the renowned revolutionary 1.
