Abstract:
Those who study the concept of representation are undoubt- edly familiar with the 1963 study by Warren Miller and Donald Stokes ("Constituency Influence in Congress," Amer- ican Political Science Review 57 [March 1963]: 45­56), which had a profound effect on scholars' understanding of the relationship or "congruence" between representatives and constituents. Others (see Sidney Verba and Norman H. Nie, Participation in America: Political Democracy and Social Equality, 1972; Heinz Eulau and Paul D. Karps, "The Puzzle of Representation: Specifying Components of Responsive- ness," in Heinz Eulau and John C. Wahlk, eds., The Politics of Representation, 1978) have made their own distinguished contributions by venturing to conceptualize and measure representation in an effort to further our understanding of the relationship between the representative and the repre- sented. In the same mode, this collection of articles contrib- utes to the study of the mass-elite relationship by providing a variety of approaches, methods, and measures to broaden the literature.

Abstract:
Worcester Cathedral MS F.10 forms a random collection of Latin, English, and macaronic sermons which were gathered and copied by a fairly large number of scribes in the middle of the fifteenth century. These sermons, most of them anonymous, are for a variety of occasions and audiences and have been entered in no particular liturgical order, even if, as the presence of several sets of quire numbers indicates, the individual quires were reordered several times in the medieval period. The collection contains a number of pieces that were evidently preached to a university audience, as is shown by their addressing “magistri” and by internal references to a university milieu. Their locale was presumably Oxford. Besides such general university sermons, the collection also includes two that are labeled “Introitus Sententiarum” and three other pieces that agree with these in form — the scholastic sermon structure — and content — praise of theology or holy Scripture and Peter Lombard. These five pieces are introitus, academic speeches or sermons which, according to university statutes, bachelors as well as masters (or doctors) of theology were required to deliver as they began their courses on the Bible or on Peter Lombard's Sentences. In addition, the manuscript contains an item that is very similar to the introitus sermons in that it follows the scholastic sermon structure and praises its subject. The latter, however, is not theology but philosophy, and the thema on which the piece is based is not a biblical text but a quotation from Aristotle. A sermon on a secular text itself is a rarity in medieval sermon literature, certainly from England; and appearing as it does in a sermon collection, the piece seems to be a rarissima avis stuck in the wrong flock.

Abstract:
Cette thèse propose une étude comparative des œuvres de Pierre Bergounioux et de Peter Kurzeck. Il s’agit d’interroger la relation entre les réalités socioculturelles, géographiques et historiques des régions d’enfance des auteurs et le contexte de l’extrême contemporain, qui tend à l’uniformisation du monde. Le microcosme du lieu d’origine, ancré dans un terroir qui engendre des traits culturels et langagiers locaux, se lit comme un lieu universel. Ce dernier, bien que localisé géographiquement et précisément nommé, devient l’endroit réel et figuré d’un état désormais révolu de l’humanité qui s’oppose à un autre lieu universel : le non-lieu standardisé. Il s’agira de confronter les vertus élémentaires de la mémoire longue aux traits caractéristiques de l’époque surmoderne, c’est-à-dire l’homogénéisation de l’espace, l’accélération du temps et l’individualisme croissant. La réalité surmoderne semble se trouver au-dessus des facultés cognitives de l’homme, qui peine à ordonner les données instables de celle-ci. La construction du sujet autobiographique doit donc faire face aux derniers archaïsmes, ainsi qu’à la « liberté périlleuse » (U. Beck) d’une existence détachée de l’origine. L’écriture mémorielle assure tour à tour la continuité du sujet, œuvre en faveur de la communauté perdue et tente de livrer, à travers un passé revisité, une analyse lucide du monde contemporain qui s’adresse à un lecteur perdu. En reproduisant le flottement de la mémoire entre souvenir et oubli, l’écrit littéraire se pense comme une contre-proposition face à la « mondialisation de la mémoire » (H. Rousso) qui engendre un rapport similaire au passé, celui, paradoxal, d’un oubli accéléré et d’une nostalgie excessive
This thesis offers a comparative study of the works of Pierre Bergounioux and Peter Kurzeck. Its aim is to question the relationship between the sociocultural, geographical and historical features of the regions where these writers spent their respective childhoods and the context of the “extreme contemporary”, which tends towards a standardisation of the world. The microcosm of the place of origin, rooted in a local setting which goes hand in hand with a set of local cultural and linguistic elements, is depicted as a universal place. This place, albeit geographically localised and specifically named, becomes both literally and figuratively the location of a now bygone state of mankind which clashes with another universal place: the standardised “non-place”. This study will bring face to face the fundamental virtues of long-term historical memory and the distinctive features of the “supermodern” period, that is to say homogenisation of space, acceleration of time and growing individualism. The supermodern reality seems to be located above the cognitive faculties of human beings, who have trouble putting its unstable data in order. The construction of the autobiographical subject therefore has to face the last remaining archaisms, as well as the “hazardous freedom” (U. Beck) of an existence cut from its origin. The writing of memory successively allows for a continuity of the subject, works in favour of the lost community, and tries to provide the bewildered reader with a sound analysis of the contemporary world by revisiting the past. By reproducing the wavering of memory between remembrance and forgetfulness, literary writing envisions itself as a counter-proposition to the “globalisation of memory” (H. Rousso) which brings about a similar, paradoxical relationship to the past, characterised by accelerated forgetfulness and excessive nostalgia

Place-defining novelists convey regional imagery and regional sense of place to a wide audience, thus shaping popular perceptions of regions. Peter Mayle and Pierre Magnan are the most recent place-defining novelists of Provence, France. This research compares each author’s regional imagery and sense of place to understand what it means for each author to be in Provence. Place-name mapping geographically frames each authors’ regional imagery and sense of place. Qualitative coding and close readings of selected texts for each author identify sets of regional imagery, including nature and culture imagery, which help develop a sense of place for Provence. The subjectivities of qualitative coding analysis is addressed through personal narratives which acknowledges the researcher’s positionality vis-à-vis Provence. Mayle’s nature imagery emphasizes remote, rough topography and bright sunny skies, which presents the natural landscape as benevolent and therapeutic. Magnan’s nature imagery emphasizes rough topography, rivers, winds, and storms, which presents the natural landscape as powerful, indifferent or malevolent towards human affairs, and imbued with a sense of deep time and an enigmatic quality. Mayle’s culture imagery emphasizes healthy, traditional agrarian lifeways; vibrant village life and social connectedness; a positive and prominent tourist industry; and a food culture which permeates Provençal identity. Magnan’s culture imagery emphasizes the harsh realities of agrarian lifestyles; insular and mistrusting villages; hard and frugal villagers; historical continuity; and references to ruined or abandoned landscapes and cultural loss. Mayle’s sense of place defines Provence as a region defined as idyllic, most strongly developed by his culture imagery which emphasizes idealized agrarian lifeways and Provence’s food culture. This idyll is deepened with the positive associations with Provence’s tourist industry. Magnan’s sense of place defines Provence as a region defined by a melancholic sublime. His powerful, enigmatic nature imagery is the strongest shaping force behind developing Provence’s sublime qualities. Provence’s melancholic quality is linked to Magnan’s nature imagery’s enigmatic characteristics, which invite contemplation, and his culture imagery associated with ruins and cultural loss, which offers further invitation to contemplation and conveys a sense of grief.

Millner, Clélie. "L’œuvre-trace, questionnement de la présence dans les récits d'Antonio Tabucchi, Peter Handke et Pierre Péju." Thesis, Paris 3, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011PA030112.

Full text
Abstract:
La trace peut être définie comme le vestige sensible qui provoque, chez qui l’observe, le trouble d’une présence-absence. Les récits d’Antonio Tabucchi, Peter Handke et Pierre Péju,trois écrivains nés dans les années 1940 dans des pays – l’Italie, l’Autriche et la France – ayant collaboré avec l’Allemagne nazie, sont habités d’une inquiétude aussi bien historique qu’ontologique et déclinent les modalités d’une représentation de la présence spectrale. Le caractère spectral du réel n’implique pas seulement le sentiment d’une douloureuse dépossession, mais aussi l’ouverture à un monde vécu dans le mouvement même de son apparition. Celui-ci se manifeste tour à tour comme une épiphanie, révélation d’un avènement originel, et comme un retour des spectres du passé, et plus particulièrement de ceux de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. L’œuvre-trace transmet ainsi – par ses thèmes, sa diégèse et ses choix stylistiques – une injonction éthique. Elle se fait l’écho d’une double responsabilité :celle, historique, des cendres du XXe siècle et celle, ontologique, de la fidélité à un présents cindé, qui ne peut être appréhendé qu’à travers la faille qui le constitue. L’oeuvre-trace se fait représentation littéraire d’un jeu interstitiel : blessure qui ne peut cicatriser et condition même de l’à venir ; et la quête heuristique, en refusant toute assertion, rejoint la démarche de la philosophie sceptique. La connaissance ne se laisse approcher que de façon asymptotique, trace de ce qui a été et esquisse de ce qui sera
The trace can be defined as the tangible relic which provokes confusion in theobserver’s mind by revealing a form of absent presence. The narratives of Antonio Tabucchi,Peter Handke and Pierre Péju, three writers born in the 1940s in countries – Italy, Austria and France – that collaborated with Nazi Germany, are filled with an anxiety which is historical aswell as it is ontological, and display the various forms of the spectral presence of the trace. Butthis spectral presence, which classically entails a distressing feeling of dispossession, also manifests the emergence of a new world which is physically perceived as it reveals itself. It is successively an epiphany, the revelation of an original advent, and the return of past spectres,and more particularly those of the Second World War. Through its themes, diegesis and stylisticchoices, the narrative as trace thus conveys an ethical injunction. It discloses the importance of atwofold responsibility: the historical legacy of the 20thcentury’s ashes, and the ontologicalrequest of accepting a present without certainty, that can only be apprehended through the verybreach that constitutes it. The narrative as trace thereby becomes the literary representation of asplit state of being, everlastingly wounded and ultimate condition of the coming future; and the heuristic pursuit, by rejecting any possibilities of assertion, concurs with the reasoning ofsceptical philosophy. Understanding can only be approached in an asymptotic way, trace ofwhat has been and sketched glimmer of what will be

Abstract:
This chapter focuses on how Navajo nationalism attempted to alter the spatial dynamics that subordinated Navajo claims to control their land to metropolitan demands for inexpensive power. Metropolitan demand produced the notion that Navajos possessed massive mineral wealth, and this allowed young activists to imagine the Nation as space colonized by the greedy cities of the Southwest. It allowed Navajo leader Peter MacDonald to imagine the formation of a Navajo state powerful enough to control the distribution of power in the region. Moreover, all versions of Navajo nationalism recognized that metropolitan growth depended on the resources located on their land. As such, Navajo nationalists attempted to manipulate the Southwestern cities' dependence on Indian resources to produce meaningful power within the region.

Abstract:
There is no way to transcribe the features of the Earth’s spherical surface onto a flat map without some distortion. All maps distort the geography of the sphere. The familiar Mercator maps inflate regions close to the poles compared to regions in the tropics. In 1973, Arno Peters promoted the Gall–Peters projection that compensates for the expansion of polar regions compared to the tropics. Buckminster Fuller invented a map called the Dymaxion in which the globe is projected onto an icosahedron, which is then unfolded into an icosahedral net. Another interesting projection is the Pierce Quincuncial projection invented by Charles Sanders Pierce. The Milky Way galaxy was recently mapped using data from NASA’s Wide-field Infra-red Survey Explorer (WISE) and shown to be a barred spiral galaxy. Pablo Carlos Budassi has created a map of the entire visible universe using NASA images by representing radial distances on a logarithmic scale.

Abstract:
This chapter describes seven miniatures created by Peter Child. These songs are written in an accessibly ‘neo-tonal’ idiom. Here, lean, nimble, relatively undemanding vocal lines are supported, and often driven, by highly characterful piano parts which convey much of the detail of the textual images. The piece forms a nicely balanced whole, its hypnotic slow movements contrasted by more animated rhythmical settings. The first four songs muse, fleetingly, on various features of the natural world (both animate and inanimate), but the last two plumb more deeply beneath the surface. The final setting is particularly affecting in its ambivalent soul-searching. The composer has a distinctive way of concluding each song with a pithy musical comment, sometimes leaving a question hovering in the air.

Abstract:
This chapter presents one of the most substantial works for voice by Peter Maxwell Davies. The piece was written for the late Mary Thomas, whose extraordinary range is here exploited to the full. The performer portrays a prodigious parade of colourful characters, with no holds barred as to extreme vocal effects and timbres. Although the singer will need a safe low F, and, occasionally an E, the upper range is not as daunting, since ‘normally sung’ notes go no higher than A. Others are treated with a variety of ‘spoken’ timbres, including blood-curdling shrieks, with a liberal use of glissandos. The score is mainly in standard notation, with a few of the more familiar twentieth-century innovations, such as the gradual thickening and thinning of ‘beams’ above groups of notes, to indicate accelerando and rallentando respectively.

Abstract:
Hanne Darboven’s (1941-2009) Opus 17a is a composition for solo double bass that is rarely performed due to the physical and mental challenges involved in its performance. It is one of four opuses from the composers monumental 1008 page Wünschkonzert (1984), and was composed during her period of making “mathematical music” based on mathematical systems where numbers were assigned to certain notes and translated to musical scores. It can be described as large-scale minimalism and it is highly repetitive, but even though the same notes and intervals keep repeating, the patterns slightly change throughout the piece. This is an attempt to unfold the many challenges of both interpreting, preparing and performing this 70 minute long solo piece for double bass consisting of a continuous stream of eight notes. It is largely based on my own experiences of preparing, rehearsing and performing Opus 17a, but also on interviews I have conducted with fellow bass players Robert Black and Tom Peters, who have both made recordings of this piece as well as having performed it live. One is met with few instrumental technical challenges such as fingering, string crossing and bowing when performing Opus 17a, but because of its long duration what one normally would take for granted could possibly prove to be challenging.
