  • Jaroslav Tůma Tomáš Jamník Gustav Mahler and Prague
    czech music quarterly 1 | 2 0 0 7 Jaroslav Tůma Tomáš Jamník Gustav Mahler and Prague Dear Readers, As you have certainly already noticed, Czech Music Quarterly has been graphically reworked for 2007. We thought that the existing design needed freshening up, and I hope the new appearance of the magazine will give you the same pleasure that it has given us. The smaller format and more attractive paper should make for more comfortable reading. This issue of the magazine also comes with a free CD, containing pieces by six contemporary Czech composers, which means that Czech Music Quarterly is now a magazine not just to be read but to be “listened to” as well. The Chamber Music compilation is the fi rst in a series. You can read more about the whole project in the preface to the CD itself and so I here I shall just draw you attention to the article by Miroslav Pudlák, which is related to the CD and highlights some aspects of the contemporary Czech scene in composing. I would also like to remind you that you can order older numbers of Czech Music Quarterly – if we have any of the ones you want, we shall be glad to post them to you. You can fi nd a list of the contents of all preceding numbers at www.czech-music.net, and there is plenty of choice! And please feel free to contact us any time if you have a question or a comment – just write to the e-mail address [email protected].

  • ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: the SOUND of SILENCE
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: THE SOUND OF SILENCE: POWER, SECRECY, AND INTERNATIONAL AUDIENCES IN U.S. OVERSEAS MILITARY BASING NEGOTIATIONS Jonathan N. Brown, Doctor of Philosophy, 2012 Dissertation directed by: Professor Paul Huth Department of Government and Politics This dissertation poses two basic questions: (1) Under what conditions are leaders more or less likely to publicly acknowledge cooperative security negotiations or to pursue talks secretly? (2) What impact does this decision have on leaders’ subsequent bargaining behavior and their overall prospects of achieving cooperation? To answer these questions, I develop a realist-inspired theoretical framework that advances two main arguments about leaders’ management of national security information. First, international audiences – namely, third-party states – rather than domestic audiences often constitute the principal targets of official secrecy and public acknowledgement. Second, leaders’ control of information is shaped primarily by the international strategic context and the scope of their states’ national security interests rather than domestic political incentives and institutions. My central claim and finding is that states’ power positions in the international system fundamentally influence not only the way that leaders control information during cooperative security negotiations but also the impact that information management has on leaders’ subsequent willingness to make concessions during talks and their likelihood of reaching an agreement. I evaluate these arguments

    Derek Sayer ANDRÉ BRETON AND THE MAGIC CAPITAL: AN AGONY IN SIX FITS 1 After decades in which the Czechoslovak Surrealist Group all but vanished from the art-historical record on both sides of the erstwhile Iron Curtain, interwar Prague’s standing as the “second city of surrealism” is in serious danger of becoming a truth universally acknowledged.1 Vítězslav Nezval denied that “Zvěrokruh” (Zodiac), which appeared at the end of 1930, was a surrealist magazine, but its contents, which included his translation of André Breton’s “Second Manifesto of Surrealism” (1929), suggested otherwise.2 Two years later the painters Jindřich Štyrský and Toyen (Marie Čermínová), the sculptor Vincenc Makovský, and several other Czech artists showed their work alongside Hans/Jean Arp, Salvador Dalí, Giorgio De Chirico, Max Ernst, Paul Klee, Joan Miró, Wolfgang Paalen, and Yves Tanguy (not to men- tion a selection of anonymous “Negro sculptures”) in the “Poesie 1932” exhibition at the Mánes Gallery.3 Three times the size of “Newer Super-Realism” at the Wads- worth Atheneum the previous November – the first surrealist exhibition on Ameri- 1 Not one Czech artist was included, for example, in MoMA’s blockbuster 1968 exhibition “Dada, Surrealism, and Their Heritage” or discussed in William S.

  • Med Sykkel Til Sinai
    Med sykkel til Sinai Norges deltagelse i FNs første fredsbevarende styrke – fredsidealisme eller ivaretakelse av egeninteresser? Christine Due Ose Våren 2010 Institutt for arkeologi, konservering og historie Universitetet i Oslo ii Forord Da jeg våren 2008 fikk se en ferdig trykt masteroppgave i historie, var jeg ikke sikker på om jeg skulle komme i mål med min egen. Men nå er jeg framme ved målet, og det kan jeg, i tillegg til meg selv, også takke mange rundt meg for. Først vil jeg takke min veileder Hilde Henriksen Waage for inspirasjon til å aldri gi opp – selv når det var ytterst vanskelig å finne motivasjon nok til å fortsette. Å arbeide med hennes masterstudenter har vært en nyttig, og ikke minst veldig hyggelig, erfaring. Mange bibliotekarer og arkivarer skal ha anerkjennelse for den viktige jobben de gjør for at vi studenter skal kunne lete fram spennende, og mindre spennende, informasjon om nær og fjern fortid. Spesielt skal Stortingsbiblioteket og arkivet der ha stor ros for utmerket service og et fantastisk saksarkiv. Bibliotekarene på Nobelinstituttet er en oppmuntring i seg selv, og skal ha stor takk for lang lånetid og mange raske ben til hyllene for å hente fram spennende, gjerne internasjonal, litteratur til meg. Dernest vil jeg takke Maria, Maren, Mari og Hilde for mange fine stunder på NHAs hus – på lesesalen, i kantina og på pauserommet – og ellers. Jeg håper det blir mange flere av dem! Takk for inspirasjon, oppmuntring, smil og latter gjennom denne til tider vanskelige, men også morsomme prosessen. Familien min, mamma og pappa, søstre, besteforeldre, tante og onkel, hadde jeg ikke klart meg uten, og det hadde ikke blitt mange ferdigskrevne sider uten deres støtte.
