  • The Computational Attitude in Music Theory
    The Computational Attitude in Music Theory Eamonn Bell Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2019 © 2019 Eamonn Bell All rights reserved ABSTRACT The Computational Attitude in Music Theory Eamonn Bell Music studies’s turn to computation during the twentieth century has engendered particular habits of thought about music, habits that remain in operation long after the music scholar has stepped away from the computer. The computational attitude is a way of thinking about music that is learned at the computer but can be applied away from it. It may be manifest in actual computer use, or in invocations of computationalism, a theory of mind whose influence on twentieth-century music theory is palpable. It may also be manifest in more informal discussions about music, which make liberal use of computational metaphors. In Chapter 1, I describe this attitude, the stakes for considering the computer as one of its instruments, and the kinds of historical sources and methodologies we might draw on to chart its ascendance. The remainder of this dissertation considers distinct and varied cases from the mid-twentieth century in which computers or computationalist musical ideas were used to pursue new musical objects, to quantify and classify musical scores as data, and to instantiate a generally music-structuralist mode of analysis. I present an account of the decades-long effort to prepare an exhaustive and accurate catalog of the all-interval twelve-tone series (Chapter 2). This problem was first posed in the 1920s but was not solved until 1959, when the composer Hanns Jelinek collaborated with the computer engineer Heinz Zemanek to jointly develop and run a computer program.

This thesis aims to answer the following questions: are there meaningful generalizations to be made about these progressions? What is their role in music history? Why have they been so popular with composers of the past two centuries?

  • TNTL 201234 Binnenwerk.Indd 276 08-01-13 11:51 Mediatie En Transfer Van Duitse Exilliteratuur in Nederlandse Setting 277
    Els Andringa Mediatie en transfer van Duitse Exilliteratuur in Nederlandse setting Over de rol van mediatoren met bijzondere aandacht voor de opkomst van literaire agenten Abstract – After writers and publishers fled Nazi-Germany in 1933, the Nether- lands became a center of German book publishing and trade. In addition to the market of German audiences, communication and transfer to non-German mar- kets, including the Dutch, were of high importance, particularly after Austria’s ‘Anschluss’. Literary mediators such as critics, translators, but also (financial) pro- moters and literary agents played a prominent role. The article illustrates how the situation of writing and publishing in exile paved the way for the development of literary agencies after the Second World War and shows how they were embedded in an international network. 1 De setting: opkomst van het nationaalsocialisme en het onstaan van de Exilliteratuur In januari 1933 kwamen de nationaalsocialisten onder leiding van Hitler in Duits- land aan de macht. Onmiddellijk traden draconische maatregelen tegen ‘niet- arische’ bevolkingsgroepen en mensen van andere gezindten in werking. Vele intellectuelen, schrijvers en kunstenaars moesten het ontgelden. De boekverbran- dingen in verschillende grote steden symboliseerden de onderdrukking van iede- re vrijheid van geest. Bestuurlijke maatregelen binnen het literaire leven volgden spoedig: ‘bestuurswisseling’ en royement van leden in de Berlijnse Akademie der Künste, Gleichschaltung en opheffing van Joodse uitgeverijen, separatie en isole- ring van het Joodse culturele leven, het publiceren van schwarze Listen in het Bör- senblatt voor de Duitse boekhandel en uitgeverij enzovoorts. Een eerste uittocht van bedreigden was het gevolg. Velen geloofden aanvankelijk dat het tij weldra zou keren en vestigden zich in een van de omringende landen.
