  • The Inclusion of the Libraries of Barcelona in the Cultural 'Map'
    Date : 08/07/2008 The inclusion of the Libraries of Barcelona in the cultural ‘map’, or how to turn a need into a virtue. Marta Clari, Executive Director, Institut de Cultura de Barcelona Mercè Muñoz Technical Secretary, Biblioteques de Barcelona ([email protected]) Meeting: 149. Metropolitan Libraries with Public Libraries Simultaneous Interpretation: Not available WORLD LIBRARY AND INFORMATION CONGRESS: 74TH IFLA GENERAL CONFERENCE AND COUNCIL 10-14 August 2008, Québec, Canada http://www.ifla.org/IV/ifla74/index.htm A few days after receiving the invitation to present the Libraries of Barcelona in this forum, the result was published of a survey carried out annually by the City Council of Barcelona to rate the degree of satisfaction of the citizens with regard to the public services provided by the municipality: the public libraries took the top spot in the survey, being the most highly rated service by the citizens of Barcelona. Objectively this is good news, but it is even more so if you take into account the situation of the public libraries of the city just 15 years ago. So as to be able to understand what has happened in the last 15 years, it is necessary to know briefly their history, for without knowing it, it is difficult to understand how a major cosmopolitan city, capital of a culture with a thousand year tradition, with the capacity of organising the successful Olympic Games of 1992, to quote a reference that gave the city international recognition, still in that year didn’t have a plan for its system of public libraries, and moreoverto attend a population of more than 1,600,000 inhabitants there was only 6,650 m2 of public library spaces, divided between 15 facilities (in some cases small libraries of less than 200 m2).

  • Towards an Ethnomusicology of Contemporary Flamenco Guitar
    Rethinking Tradition: Towards an Ethnomusicology of Contemporary Flamenco Guitar NAME: Francisco Javier Bethencourt Llobet FULL TITLE AND SUBJECT Doctor of Philosophy. Doctorate in Music. OF DEGREE PROGRAMME: School of Arts and Cultures. SCHOOL: Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences. Newcastle University. SUPERVISOR: Dr. Nanette De Jong / Dr. Ian Biddle WORD COUNT: 82.794 FIRST SUBMISSION (VIVA): March 2011 FINAL SUBMISSION (TWO HARD COPIES): November 2011 Abstract: This thesis consists of four chapters, an introduction and a conclusion. It asks the question as to how contemporary guitarists have negotiated the relationship between tradition and modernity. In particular, the thesis uses primary fieldwork materials to question some of the assumptions made in more ‘literary’ approaches to flamenco of so-called flamencología . In particular, the thesis critiques attitudes to so-called flamenco authenticity in that tradition by bringing the voices of contemporary guitarists to bear on questions of belonging, home, and displacement. The conclusion, drawing on the author’s own experiences of playing and teaching flamenco in the North East of England, examines some of the ways in which flamenco can generate new and lasting communities of affiliation to the flamenco tradition and aesthetic. Declaration: I hereby certify that the attached research paper is wholly my own work, and that all quotations from primary and secondary sources have been acknowledged. Signed: Francisco Javier Bethencourt LLobet Date: 23 th November 2011 i Acknowledgements First of all, I would like to thank all of my supervisors, even those who advised me when my second supervisor became head of the ICMuS: thank you Nanette de Jong, Ian Biddle, and Vic Gammon.

PIERLUIGI DA PALESTRINA" [I CAGLIAR02] 1. Introduction The GEO project (Galata Electroacoustic Orchestra) is inspired by the historical relations between Genova and Istanbul. The general objectives of GEO IP is: 1) to found the Galata Electroacoustic Orchestra, a small group orchestra based on an idea of live collective composition; 2) to merge of the Western Classical tradition of score- based music and the Improvisational techniques, in particular of Turkish Maqam Music. As the dialogue between the three Countries (Turkey, Spain and Italy) involved in the IP is an important objective for GEO, we adopted the sealing map ( portolano ) as a guide metaphor for the project (when a ship docks, the goods – in our case: the musical products – from one country are unloaded and goods from another country are loaded). The expected learning outcomes are related to the acquisition of skills and abilities in the following disciplinary areas: theoretic, ethnomusicological, technological, performing and compositional. The expected outputs of the GEO IP project are: - a concert by the Galata Electroacustic Orchestra at the end of the IP; - a permanent
