  • 4. the Subtle Ontology of Power
    4 The subtle ontology of power A number of factors facilitated the grafting of missions, with their alien culture and rigid disciplines, onto Indigenous communities. The violence and danger of the frontier society pushed Indigenous people towards missions, but they were also pulled by the material advantages offered by the sheer endless supplies of the missions. Moreover, the interior logic of the missions was decipherable through a shared ontology of power. Unlike most other settlers, missionaries openly engaged with the supernatural and promised new ways of harnessing and directing preternatural forces. Indigenous people were always interested in new ways of mastering the world they inhabited and often imported new songs, objects and ideas into their cultural registers. Christian prayer, blessings and worship, with altar boys and priests dressed for a carefully orchestrated ceremony, were easily intelligible to peoples already used to staged rituals and incantations in an attempt to influence the supra- material world. Persons who undertook to exert power over the non- material world by deciphering signs and dreams or by casting powerful words were highly respected. Missionaries with the capacity of interpreting the signs of nature, such as comets, and of invoking supernatural help through prayer were in the category of such powerful people. The paper- based information technology from which their knowledge arose was also of great interest. Catholic missionaries had a particularly impressive arsenal of rituals, ideas and objects to exert power over the natural world. They were more likely than Protestants to invoke auspicious numbers and dates, and possessed ritual objects invested with immanent powers.

    A COMPOSING ENSEMBLE: CREATING COLLABORATIVELY WITH HIGH SCHOOL INSTRUMENTALISTS by Yan Carlos Colón León Dissertation Committee: Professor Randall Everett Allsup, Sponsor Professor Lori Custodero Approved by the Committee on the Degree of Doctor of Education Date 20 May, 2020 Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Education in Teachers College, Columbia University 2020 ABSTRACT A COMPOSING ENSEMBLE: CREATING COLLABORATIVELY WITH HIGH SCHOOL INSTRUMENTALISTS Yan Carlos Colón León This study was about composing collaboratively. General music classrooms are often creative, fun and spontaneous spaces in which improvisation and composition exist in different degrees. Time is a limitation in the general music classroom and rarely do students have the time to re-work their compositions. On the other hand, the large ensemble provides the students with time to evolve and refine their work. In the large ensemble however, the creative choices are usually out of the students’ hands. This study aimed to understand the experience of students and a teacher composing music together. The specific focus was to understand the creative process: (preparation, incubation, illumination, and verification) as it may exist in a large ensemble format where young composers write for and with their peers. The study took take place in a New York City after school program in the South Bronx called UpBeat NYC. UpBeat is a not-for-profit, free of charge music program for the community. The participants were high school instrumentalists who participate regularly in large ensembles such as Orchestra and Jazz Band. The ensemble met once a week for the duration of an academic year.
