Noise in and as music
No full textOne hundred years after Luigi Russolo’s “The Art of Noises,” this book exposes a cross-section of the current motivations, activities, thoughts, and reflections of composers, performers, and artists who work with noise in all of its many forms. The book’s focus is the practice of noise and its relationship to music, and in particular the role of noise as musical material—as form, as sound, as notation or interface, as a medium for listening, as provocation, as data. Its contributors are first and foremost practitioners, which inevitably turns attention toward how and why noise is made and its potential role in listening and perceiving.
Contributors include Peter Ablinger, Sebastian Berweck, Aaron Cassidy, Marko Ciciliani, Nick Collins, Aaron Einbond, Matthias Haenisch, Alec Hall, Martin Iddon, Bryan Jacobs, Phil Julian, Michael Maierhof, Joan Arnau Pàmies, and James Whitehead (JLIAT).
The book also features a collection of short responses to a two-question “interview”—“what is noise (music) to you?” and “why do you make it?”—by some of the leading musicians working with noise today. Their work spans a wide range of artistic practice, including instrumental, vocal, and electronic music; improvisation; notated composition; theater; sound installation; DIY; and software development. Interview subjects include Eryck Abecassis, Franck Bedrossian, Antoine Chessex, Ryan Jordan, Alice Kemp (Germseed), George Lewis, Lasse Marhaug, Maja Solveig Kjelstrup Ratkje, Diemo Schwarz, Ben Thigpen, Kasper Toeplitz, and Pierre Alexandre Tremblay

An Exploration of Truncation in Italian
Get PDFItalian displays a rich variety of truncation patterns and therefore forms an ideal testing ground for constraint interaction determining truncation in general. This paper describes in detail the various truncation patterns of Italian: monosyllabic light syllable templates, bisyllabic templates and atemplatic patterns, both initially and stress anchored. Based on joint work with Sabine Arndt-Lappe, a set of anchoring and size restrictor constraints is proposed, which determines the typology of Italian truncation patterns and avoids generating systems which are not attested among the world's languages. Specifically, it is proposed that two Anchor constraints (Anchor-L and Anchor-R), defined as alignment constraints, are responsible for edge anchoring in truncation as well as for maximality effects. Anchor-stress, defined as a faithfulness constraint, is reponsible for stress anchoring. The size-restrictor constraint Coincide-s1 guarantees that monosyllabic templates emerge and, through its gradient evaluation, allows the generation of atemplatic truncation patterns. This set of constraints allows to preserve the architecture of Generalized Template Theory, where templates emerge as unmarked structures, but at the same time avoids unwanted predictions of other constraint sets proposed in the literature for truncation or reduplication.This paper has been published as: Alber, B.

The comparative analysis of “Peter and Wendy” by J.M. Barrie and “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone” by J.K. Rowling based on common themes and their influence on the plot, setting and characters with regard to the differentiation of the structure of the society between the dates of publication of the novels.
Get PDFJ.M. Barrie and J.K. Rowling are of the best-known authors of the 20th century with their
twisting plots and epic characters, when it comes to children’s literature. Although their books
Peter Pan and Wendy (1911) and Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone (1997) are
considered to be children’s classics, there are not many investigations on the importance of
the themes of the novels. This essay investigates the influence of the common themes of the
novels on the plot, setting and characters with regard to the change in the societal structure
between the publication dates of the books.
Barrie and Rowling both explore the themes of gender roles, childhood, fantasy and the battle
between the good and the evil in their novels. However, the interpretation of two themes,
gender roles and childhood, demonstrates disparity due to the differentiation of the societal
structure between the dates of publication of the novels since both authors depict their
societies’ current views in their books. The different exploration of the themes of gender roles
and childhood affects the portrayals of the novel characters, especially the protagonists; Peter
and Harry, and the primary female characters; Wendy and Hermione. The themes of fantasy
and the battle between the good and the evil, on the other hand, are reflected similarly, thus,
allowing the authors to create magical settings and intriguing plots that catch the attention of
children. Overall, it is observed that both Barrie and Rowling skilfully entwine the themes
with the structure of their novels

Moral Good, the Beatific Vision, and God’s Kingdom Writings by Germain Grisez and Peter Ryan, S.J.. Edited by Peter J. Weigel
No full textFor close to half a century, the work of Germain Grisez has been highly influential, and his writings continue to receive considerable attention from philosophers and theologians of diverse viewpoints. His co-author for this work is the professor and noted moral theologian Fr. Peter Ryan, S.J., currently the executive director of the Secretariat of Doctrine and Canonical Affairs of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB). These two eminent scholars explore fundamental questions about Christian eschatology, moral theory, the purpose of human life, and the promise of human fulfilment. The authors examine Christian teaching on the final destiny of persons, investigating the meaning of God's kingdom, the hope of the beatific vision, and the centrality of moral goodness and divine grace in one's final end. This work is an ideal source for students, scholars, ministers and lay persons interested in basic questions of Christian theology, the philosophy of religion, ethical theory, and Catholic doctrin
