PINSON A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY APPROVED, THESIS COMMITTEE /?. U-G Terrence A. Doody, Professor of English, Chakman * mL ysL. Wesley Mojpris, Professor of English Bernard Aresu, Associate Professor of French Lorenzo Thomas, Writer-In-Residence, Uniyersity of Houston / /O 12. on, Associate Professor of Eng' outhern University THE AESTHETIC EVOLUTION OF MELVIN B. TOLSON: A THEMATIC STUDY OF HIS WORKS by Hermine D. Pinson ABSTRACT Within the context of Euro-American and Afro-American modernism Toison is an enigmatic figure. Only in recent years have critics and students begun to reappraise the works of a poet whose body of work reveals the varied influences of the writers of the Harlem Renaissance, the Symbolists, and the Euro-American modernists. Toison shares with Afro-American modernists, from Langston Hughes to Ralph Ellison, an indebtedness to Afro-American music and culture, from the blues to black vernacular speech to the tradition of "signifying," whether in the service of citing or "righting history." On the other hand, he shares with Euro-American modernists, from Ezra Pound to T. S. Eliot to W. B. Yeats, a predilection for symbolism, imagism, obscure allusions, and a preoccupation with confronting the chimeras of history and consciousness. To understand how Toison manages to incorporate elements of aesthetic approaches that are often politically and stylistically antithetical, this study traces the poet’s developing aesthetic, from his first manuscript, Portraits in a Harlem Gallery, to his last work, Harlem Gallery.

In this tale of two brothers’ summertime adventures and mistakes, Shaun Tan creates a world in which meteors are caught like fireflies, robots populate parades, Kazuno Kohara animates the sleeping hours in and a giant rabbit menaces those who leave The Midnight Library (Roaring Brook, $16.99), red socks on the clothesline.

PIMS will receive $1.147-million over three years from the Alberta government agency. AIS focused on PIMS’ established record in mathematical research and education in Western Canada as the reason to renew and increase funding to $1.147-million between 2006 and 2009. With the initial AIS funding in 2004, PIMS developed activities towards mathematical education and outreach in Alberta, demonstrating PIMS’ dedication to developing inclusive programmes for Alberta’s mathematical commu- nity. With the new funding, PIMS plans to increase its commitment to education and outreach in Alberta, and will participate in the AIS’ three major research priorities: life sciences, energy research, and information and communication technologies.

  • Why Math Works So Well
    Fractals, such as this stack of spheres created using 3-D modeling software, are one of the mathematical structures that were invent- ed for abstract reasons yet manage to capture reality. 80 Scientific American, August 2011 © 2011 Scientific American Mario Livio is a theoretical astrophysicist at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore. He has studied a wide range of cosmic phenomena, ranging from dark energy and super nova explosions to extrasolar planets and accretion onto white dwarfs, neutron stars and black holes.

  • Lewis Jeremy Sykes the Augmented Tonoscope
    Lewis Jeremy Sykes The Augmented Tonoscope Towards a Deeper Understanding of the Interplay between Sound and Image in Visual Music A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the Manchester Metropolitan University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Manchester Institute for Research and Innovation in Art & Design (MIRIAD), Manchester School of Art February 2015 Abstract This thesis presents the theoretical, technical and aesthetic concerns in realising a harmonic complementarity and more intimate perceptual connection between music and moving image. It explores the inspirations and various processes involved in creating a series of artistic works - attached as a portfolio and produced as the research. This includes the Cymatic Adufe (v1.1) - a sound-responsive, audiovisual installation; Stravinsky Rose (v2.0) - an audiovisual short in Dome format; and the live performance works of Whitney Triptych (v1.2), Moiré Modes (v1.1) and Stravinsky Rose (v3.0). The thesis outlines an approach towards realising a deeper understanding of the interplay between sound and image in Visual Music - through applying: the Differential Dynamics of pioneering, computer-aided, experimental animator John Whitney Sr.; alternate musical tunings based on harmonic consonance and the Pythagorean laws of harmony; and sound’s ability to induce physical form and flow via Cymatics - the study of wave phenomena and vibration - a term coined by Dr. Hans Jenny for his seminal research into these effects in the 1960s and 70s, using a device of his own design - the ʻtonoscopeʼ. The thesis discusses the key method for this artistic investigation through the design, fabrication and crafting of a hybrid analogue/digital audiovisual instrument - a contemporary version of Jenny’s sound visualisation tool - The Augmented Tonoscope.
