Full textEsta tesis se enfrenta a cómo la experiencia es el centro de la atención en detrimento de la significación en las películas de Vincent Moon. Formulo que el director está buscando que su trabajo exprese algo único cada vez que se lo encuentre en vez de preocuparse por imbuir sus películas con un sentido. Para lograr esto, su práctica artística se somete a un conjunto de procedimientos que están más en línea con el campo del sonido que el del cine. Al transponer valores profundamente arraigados en la filosofía del sonido al cine (particularmente A la escucha de Jean-Luc Nancy), el trabajo de Moon critica la perspectiva ocular predominante donde el significado y la comprensión es el objetivo final. Al cuestionar las implicaciones de tal práctica, dialogo con estudios emergentes relacionados con el sonido con lo Actual y lo Virtual de Deleuze, además de la experiencia aurática de Walter Benjamin. Concluyo proponiendo que Vincent Moon propone una nueva forma de imagen, una que debe ser comprendida a través de su capacidad explosiva de ofrecer una experiencia de naturaleza intrínsecamente transitoria y efímera: la imagen-encuentro.
Tchorek, Denis. "La transcription en France dans la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle : l'exemple d'Alexandre Guilmant." Thesis, Tours, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012TOUR2003.
Full textMusical transcription was an extremely widespread practice in 19th-Century France. This thesis will focus on its use as a mean of accessing the original artwork, through the outstanding contribution in this field of composer and organist Alexandre Guilmant, between the years of his early professional activities in the 1850s until the eve of his death in 1910. Although transcription is by no means confined to the 19th-Century, it flows through all of musical creation and lies at the heart of the aesthetic design of the artwork – to the point of bringing into focus many issues related, among others, to listening, to amateur and professional practice, to the emergence of a literature both specific and adapted to intellectual property. Guilmant’s case, studied against his socio-artistic background, illuminates the transcriber who, feeding on the extreme mobility of music, is impregnated by classical and antique styles, updates selected works, and so contributes to the development of an exemplary repertoire. Transcription appears as the mediator of a culture and capable of supporting the development of historical consciousness

Listening and staring —The Creation Exposition of the Ecological Environment's Concern All the creations are made during 2005-2006. Using acrylic pigment as a main medium, the content concerns for Taiwan’s ecological environment as the principal axis of the exposition. Taiwan's ecological environment is very fragile and has been harmed by decades of rapid developments. It’s especially under a big threat in the last few years. To highlight the seriousness of Taiwan’s ecological crisis and show the urgency of protecting Taiwan’s ecological environment, I choose this topic “Listening and staring” to introspecting human’s destruction on this land. Based on this principal axis, I develop all the creations with imaginative thought related to the academic theories, cultural heritage, artwork styles, and the analysis and discussion of content meaning to build up the integration of the ideas and the reality. It's listed as the following. The purpose of this research is to study esthetic analysis and related topics. The theories foundation of this research includes: the human spirit that realism and post-modernism pay attention to, symbolism thought, usage of surrealism skill and existism’s introspection for the future. The content of this research shows the differences and similarities between “ancient” environment philosophy of the east and the west, the ecological crisis caused by “modern” human-centered thought and the “nowadays” ecology introspection. Chapter 3 describes how I design the creations by personal artistic style, skill method and the usage of medium. I study the styles and skills of different painting parties through choosing, blending, extending , expanding, and join my own painting symbols. By this, I try to build up my own art style. I induce the following three kinds of styles: First, compound multiple-space presenting. Secondly, the getting and loosing of the focus and pursuit of the color atmosphere. Third, presenting of metaphor and symbols. The skill method and medium are also used in three aspects: First, the realistic skill method to strength the emotion moved by the creations, Secondly, the usage of different textures to enrich the contents of the creations. Third, the usage of the existing materials to deepen inside metaphor of the creations. Chapter 4 describes the style analysis of my creations by its content and the forming techniques. In short, my creations for “ Taiwan’s ecological environment’s concern” is to show caring emotions for the land by combining issues of the ecological environment and esthetics of various skill methods. Keywords: the human spirit, ecological environment, realism, post-modernism, symbol Keywords:ecological environment、realism、human spirit

This study investigated students’ ESP listening difficulties and strategies through their metaphorical expressions. Forty-five students in their fifth year in the applied language department from a five-year junior college were enrolled in this study. Metaphors as an instrument were used to examine student concepts of learning English for specific purposes. Students were required to accomplish five writing assignments. The data were collected from August, 2006 to January, 2007 and examined using Levin & Wagner’s (2006) metaphor model to analyze participants’ concepts and to detect their listening difficulties and strategies. The results showed five kinds of metaphors students used to express their thoughts listening to ESP materials: getting lost, torture, nature, game, and SKILL. Students with different metaphor models had different concepts of listening difficulties and used different listening strategies. However, there were still 42.2% of the participants who did not use metaphors to express their thoughts even after writing five Reflective Assignments. This study pointed out the importance of teaching students to understand and use metaphorical expressions. Pedagogical guidelines were provided for ESP teachers.

Full textThis thesis reflects on the Chinese tradition of Filial Piety - ‘Xiào’ - a cultural construction that places the younger generations in a position of respect and submission to elders - and its relationship with the current understanding on the Rights of the Child in contemporary China. Placing its focus on the Rights of Participation, the research adopts a postcolonial approach to Children’s Rights, challenging hegemonic views and contextualizing participation within the cultural traditions it seeks to understand. Designed as a case study, the research aimed at investigating urban Chinese families’ acknowledgment of Xiào and its influence on the possibilities of children having their opinions taken into account in matters concerning their lives. Data collection took place in an international school in urban south China, adopting a qualitative approach. By conducting interviews with parents, grandparents, and focus groups with children, the research was developed within the Sociology of Childhood theoretical framework, involving adults as significant figures in children´s lives and considering children as reliable participants who are capable of providing relevant data about their own experiences. Findings have indicated that cultural constructions that regard Filial Piety as a highly important virtue have not disappeared, but meanings attributed to Filial Piety have been changing in close relation with the participants’ experience of citizenship across time. Children’s participation in home-decision making has been found to happen among patterns of compromise, resistance, negotiation, and the development of a sense of responsibility. Findings also indicate that some topics of family daily life are more open to discussion than others, reinforcing changing patterns of Xiao and the construction of a sense of child participation built around both global and local influences.
Esta tese reflete sobre a tradição chinesa de Piedade Filial - 'Xiào' - uma construção cultural que coloca as gerações mais novas em uma posição de respeito e submissão aos mais velhos - e sua relação com o entendimento atual sobre os Direitos da Criança na China contemporânea. Tendo como foco os Direitos de Participação, a pesquisa adota uma abordagem pós-colonialista dos Direitos da Criança, desafiando as visões hegemônicas e contextualizando a participação dentro das tradições culturais que busca compreender. Concebida como um estudo de caso, a pesquisa teve como objetivo investigar a compreensão da tradição de Xiào por famílias urbanas chinesas e a influência de tal tradição nas possibilidades de as crianças terem suas opiniões levadas em conta em questões que lhe dizem respeito. A coleta de dados ocorreu em uma escola internacional no sul da China urbana, tendo uma abordagem qualitativa. Por meio da realização de entrevistas com pais e avós e grupos focais com crianças, a pesquisa foi desenvolvida dentro do referencial teórico da Sociologia da Infância, envolvendo os adultos como figuras significativas na vida das crianças e considerando as crianças como participantes competentes, capazes de fornecerem dados relevantes sobre suas próprias experiências. Os resultados da pesquisa indicaram que as construções culturais que consideram a Xiao como uma virtude altamente importante não desapareceram, mas os significados atribuídos à tradição têm mudado em estreita relação com a experiência de cidadania dos participantes ao longo do tempo. Indicam, ainda, que a participação das crianças na tomada de decisões em casa ocorre entre padrões de compromisso, resistência, negociação e o desenvolvimento de um senso de responsabilidade. Os resultados também indicam que alguns tópicos do cotidiano familiar são mais abertos à discussão do que outros, reforçando os padrões de mudança de Xiao e a construção de um senso de participação infantil construído em torno de influências, tanto globais quanto locais.

While positivistic musicology often limits meaning in the musical text and neglects the context, the so-called New Musicology may be too busy with ideologies and ignore the music itself. In Ways of Listening: An Ecological Approach to the Perception of Musical Meaning (2005), Eric Clarke utilizes James Gibson's ecological approach to visual perception to investigate the perception of musical meaning, as an attempt to balance the extremes of positivism and New Musicology. This thesis aims to “perceive” the meaning of the 2/28 memorial concert “Reborn by Love” in 2008 by Clarke’s approach. Although the date of 228 and the venue of the then briefly renamed National Taiwan Democracy Memorial Hall carried obvious political implications, the concert itself didn’t emphasize them. By dividing the six pieces on the program into three levels that represent first, the four major ethnic groups, second, the national spirit, and third, universal values, the reconciliatory intention of the concert could be recognized ("reborn by love"); some other arrangements, however, might reveal an opposite intention (in the name of love?). For example, in the first level, music that represents the mainlanders was absent; in the third level, Beethoven's Ode to Joy that represents universalism was sung only in Taiwanese (Hokkien) to the exclusion of other ethnic languages. Yet this thesis is not intended to decide on any one reading of the concert, but tries to "listen" to all the meanings afforded by this concert through Clarke’s ecological approach. In the end, whether the 2/28 Massacre could be "heard" or not depends on the relationship between perception, action and environment. This thesis argues that music's affordance for ambivalent meanings could liberate itself from political manipulation, and it in turn could redeem the 2/28 commemoration from various political appropriations. Keywords: musical meaning; ecological approach to music perception; 2008 "Reborn by Love" Concert; 2/28; Beethoven's Ode to Joy.
