  • Powers of Divergence Emphasises Its Potential for the Emergence of the New and for the Problematisation of the Limits of Musical Semiotics
    ORPHEUS What does it mean to produce resemblance in the performance of written ORPHEUS music? Starting from how this question is commonly answered by the practice of interpretation in Western notated art music, this book proposes a move beyond commonly accepted codes, conventions, and territories of music performance. Appropriating reflections from post-structural philosophy, visual arts, and semiotics, and crucially based upon an artistic research project with a strong creative and practical component, it proposes a new approach to music performance. This approach is based on divergence, on the difference produced by intensifying Powers of the chasm between the symbolic aspect of music notation and the irreducible materiality of performance. Instead of regarding performance as reiteration, reconstruction, and reproduction of past musical works, Powers of Divergence emphasises its potential for the emergence of the new and for the problematisation of the limits of musical semiotics. Divergence Lucia D’Errico is a musician and artistic researcher. A research fellow at the Orpheus Institute (Ghent, Belgium), she has been part of the research project MusicExperiment21, exploring notions of experimentation in the performance of Western notated art music. An Experimental Approach She holds a PhD from KU Leuven (docARTES programme) and a master’s degree in English literature, and is also active as a guitarist, graphic artist, and video performer. to Music Performance P “‘Woe to those who do not have a problem,’ Gilles Deleuze exhorts his audience owers of Divergence during one of his seminars. And a ‘problem’ in this philosophical sense is not something to dispense with, a difficulty to resolve, an obstacle to eliminate; nor is it something one inherits ready-made.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 ABSTRACT This thesis addresses the functions of the visual in the work of Marguerite Yourcenar. The visual here refers initially to her engagement with the visual arts in selected essays. Analysis shows her developing an independent critical voice and strategies in relation to existing artwriting and art history because of personal attitudes and choices within certain historical contexts. This in turn leads the reader to interpret the visual more broadly as the verbal articulation of all visualised encounters in Yourcenar’s fiction, for the study of which parameters have to be defined and a methodology elaborated. Topics, themes and motifs such as the corporeal impact of the visual, the contribution of images supplied by historiography (itself defined in visual terms and not only as a source of visual referents), the picturing of the Other, the working of memory, colour, appearance and dissolution are explored in Yourcenar’s chief works of fiction - mainly Mémoires d ’Hadrien, L ’Œuvre au Noir and Un Homme obscur - via the privileged point of entry supplied by her essays on various artists.

  • 364 Italian Bookshelf
    ITALIAN BOOKSHELF Edited by Dino S. Cervigni and Anne Tordi with the collaboration of Norma Bouchard, Paolo Cherchi, Gustavo Costa, Albert N. Mancini, Massimo Maggiari, and John P. Welle. Mario Marti. Da Dante a Croce. Proposte consensi dissensi. Pubblicazioni del Dipartimento di Filologia, Linguistica e Letteratura dell’Università di Lecce, 25. Galatina: Congedo, 2005. Pp. 187. I cavalli di razza — mi piace a volte ricordare a giovani colleghi — si riconoscono non solo dallo sprint iniziale, cioè dall’entusiasmo di ogni giovane studioso all’inizio della carriera, ma ancor più dalla capacità di restare in lizza sino alla conclusione della carriera, che va ben oltre l’attività didattica. Cavallo di razza eccezionale — e spero che la metafora non dispiaccia — è dunque Mario Marti, classe 1914 (come ricorda egli stesso orgogliosamente in questo volume), il quale pubblicò il suo primissimo scritto nel lontano 1943, come si legge nel suo penultimo volume, Ultimi contributi: dal certo al vero (Galatina: Congedo, 1995), corredato della bibliografia dell’Autore (pagg. 255-316). Bibliografia, questa di Marti, che già nel 1995, quando egli aveva compiuto gli ottanta anni di età, aveva raggiunto il numero di 969 scritti, che egli ha continuato ad aumentare nei due lustri susseguenti tramite un’attività di investigatore profondo, perspicace e diligente e che arriva dunque, come leggiamo nella bibliografia del presente volume (pagg. 175-81), a 1064 voci: un elenco, questo, già superato dato che il volume è stato consegnato alla stampa il 25 marzo 2005 e dato che il professor Mario Marti è tuttora impegnato su vari fronti della storia letteraria d’Italia.
