The piano music by Čestmír Gregor
No full textIn my thesis, I introduce a complete list of piano works by Cestmír Gregor, a contemporary Czech composer of modern classical music. 1 have tried to define his compositional techniques and sources of inspiration by analysing the individual pieces of music. I have found that the major features of the author's highly unique style are polyphonic thinking, the development of motives from small nuclei, expressive themes, plastic tunes, inventive work with rhythm, and the absence of a tonal centre which he compensates for by distinctive melodies . The author finds his inspiration in folklore, especially Moravian (Leoš Janácek), the works of Czech interwar avantgarde (Pavel Borkovec) and in jazz (Jaroslav Ježek). His music reflects the emotional states of a man living in the twenty-first century whose life style is predominantly determined by an urban environment. Gregor does not use any of the Musica Nova theories, instead he founded his own music language. The basis for his compositions is communicative music, which follows the patterns of human perceptive psychology. Gregor's concertant compositions are typical for a new instrument stylization and nontraditional attitudes towards instrument virtuosity (playing with a palm, elbow; an unconventional fingering). His piano sonatas and concerts enable the..

GREGOR, Neil, Stern und Hakenkreuz. Daimler-Benz im Dritten Reich
No full textCette traduction d’une thèse d’un jeune historien anglais constitue un apport important sur un sujet qui a déjà fait l’objet de plusieurs ouvrages depuis une dizaine d’années: l’implication de l’entreprise automobile Daimler-Benz dans le régime nazi. À la suite d’autres auteurs anglo-saxons comme Peter HAYES sur IG Farben, N.G. se situe dans une perspective qui renvoie dos à dos les thèses contradictoires qui ont longtemps neutralisé le débat historiographique en Allemagne: celle des historie..

Gregor Samsa’s Self Alienation in Franz Kafka’s Metamorphosis: Lacanian Psychoanalysis
No full textThis research is focused on Jacques Lacan\u27s psychoanalytic theory, which is described in the main character in Franz Kafka\u27s novel The Metamorphosis. Gregor Samsa is the main character of The Metamorphosis. Gregor was a traveling salesman who was the Samsa family\u27s sole son and earner. He mysteriously transforms into a massive bug, causing him to be estranged from his family. The author finds out why Gregor’s family members do not care about him and can\u27t perceive him as a complicated human being with his own needs. As a result, Gregor has been estranged from his family and himself. The author argues that Gregor has another alienation from his physical reality after the transformation. His family views him as a terrifying, unpleasant monster, as seen by their fear of his existence and their decision to get rid of him. Gregor, who suffers from humiliation, views himself in the same light. He and his family unwittingly reject Gregor\u27s potential as an individual, making him feel alienated. This research aims to identify how Gregor\u27s conditions make him feel alienated and the connection between his identity crisis and alienation, as depicted in The Metamorphosis. Although humans are free human beings, society contributes to the perspective of self-identity and the decision of their own goals
