    UKMARC AMC: Draft Rev 4.0: UK MARC format for archives and manuscripts control (UK MARC AMC)

    No full text
    This draft is the first attempt to establish a UK MARC specifically for Archives and Manuscripts Control since the British Library indicated that it would countenance such extensions to the national UK MARC format. In order to keep consistency with the general UK MARC format, standard UK MARC subject fields are not included in this document, since they should be taken from the latest version of the UK MARC manual. {A note of them should perhaps be included in UK MARC AMC.} {NB Text in braces is intended to be explanatory material for readers of this draft}. Certain other fields have not been included that might occasionally be used in the cataloguing of archival materials but would generally only be used for such materials in organizations which were combining archive databases with library databases. This MARC version is intended for use with descriptions of archive or anuscript material that follow, or fit, the traditional style of cataloguing: we assume that these will normally relate to paper or parchment originals. It is not intended for use with descriptions of other kinds of material. For these, fields may be drawn from the appropriate UK MARC document. MARC versions for use with archives in special formats should be developed, in order to complete the full range of facilities available to archivists and curators

    MARC Reborn: Migrating MARC Fixed Field Metadata into the Variable Fields

    No full text
    <div><p>ABSTRACT</p><p>Despite calls over the past decade and a half for MARC to be replaced with an encoding standard that is more in keeping with current metadata practices, the current standard has evolved in such a way as to render many of the arguments by those who call for its demise moot. A further revision to the standard is proposed to address the one remaining problem with MARC so as to allow it to better serve the needs of information seekers for years to come.</p></div

    Populism, populists, european democracies and European Union. The Italian case

    No full text
    In this chapter, the author starts by a necessary clarification of some notions as populism and fascism because there is a lot of confusion in the public debate but also a lot of academic controversies. The debate has been immediately re-launched in September 2022, after the victory at the general elections of Giorgia Meloni’s head of Brothers of Italy, a party who has a neo-fascist legacy, and after her nomination as chief of the Italian government. Marc Lazar concludes this first part of the chapter by giving what he calls an operative definition of populism, populist and fascism. In a second part, the author analyses Meloni’s party Brothers of Italy and proposes a characterisation of this party which is evolving. In a third part of the chapter, Marc Lazar reflects on what does Meloni and her party on Italian democracy and on the European Union but also what the Italian democracy and the European Union do to Meloni and Brothers of Italy. For the author, the Italian democracy and the European Union demonstrate a high capacity of resilience to the populist challenge and a propension of acculturation of the populists’ leader and party. He concludes pointing out that is a working progress, the end of which is unknown

    Toward a new Kurt Weill Reception: A Study of Influence in the Music Theater of Marc Blitzstein and Leonard Bernstein

    No full text
    Theodor Adorno verkündete, das Model von Kurt Weill lasse sich nicht wiederholen. Seine Bühnenwerke wurden trotzdem zum unvermeidlichen Präzedenzfall für Komponisten auf beiden Seiten des Atlantiks. Diese Promotionsarbeit erkundet insbesondere die Rolle seiner formalen Innovationen im Musiktheater von Marc Blitzstein und Leonard Bernstein. Dabei haben die Komponisten seinem ästhetischen Beitrag zur amerikanischen Tradition entweder wiederstanden oder ihn heruntergespielt. Komparative Analysen aufgrund von Harold Blooms „Anxiety of Influence“ und anderen intertextuellen Methoden decken auf, dass die Grundsätze von Weills Opernreform eine einheimische Bewegung von anspruchsvollem, sozial-engagierten Musiktheater katalysierten. Die folgende Studie richtet den Fokus auf Werke, die verschiedene Phasen seiner Mission vertreten, die Gattung der Oper zu erneuern, eine Entwicklung, die sich von der Urform in Die Dreigroschenoper bis zum Musical Play (Lady in the Dark) und zur Broadway Opera (Street Scene) erstreckt. Blitzstein und Bernstein wiederum überwanden die formalen Grenzen zwischen Oper und Musical mit The Cradle Will Rock, Regina, Trouble in Tahiti, Candide und West Side Story, teil einer kurzlebigen Bewegung in Amerika des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts. Dieselbe überschnitt sich mit einer Renaissance für Weills deutschsprachige Werke im Anschluss an die Premiere von Blitzsteins Übersetzung The Threepenny Opera unter Bernsteins Leitung. Das unveröffentlichte A Pray by Blecht, für welches Bernstein sich an Stephen Sondheim und Jerome Robbins, seine Kooperationspartner in West Side Story, wieder angeschlossen hat, vertieft den Bezug von Bernsteins Musiktheater-Ästhetik auf Weill.Theodor Adorno famously proclaimed that the model of Kurt Weill could not be repeated. His stage works nevertheless set an inescapable precedent for composers on both sides of the Atlantic. My dissertation explores how Weill’s formal innovations in particular laid the groundwork for the music theater of Marc Blitzstein and Leonard Bernstein although they either resisted or downplayed his aesthetic contribution to American tradition. Comparative analysis based on Harold Bloom’s Anxiety of Influence and other modes of intertextuality reveal that the principles of Weill’s opera reform would catalyze an indigenous movement in sophisticated, socially engaged music theatre. The following study focuses on works that represent different phases of his mission to renew the genre of opera, evolving from the Urform (original or primitive form) in Die Dreigroschenoper to the musical play (Lady in the Dark) and Broadway Opera (Street Scene). Blitzstein and Bernstein in turn defied the formal boundaries between opera and musical theater with The Cradle Will Rock, Regina, Trouble in Tahiti, Candide and West Side Story, part of a short-lived movement in mid-twentieth century America that coincided with a renaissance for Weill’s German-period works following the premiere of Blitzstein’s translation, The Threepenny Opera, under Bernstein’s baton. The unpublished A Pray by Blecht, – for which Bernstein rejoined Stephen Sondheim and Jerome Robbins, his collaborators on West Side Story, – deepens the connection of Bernstein’s music theater aesthetic to Weill

    En aquest Treball de Fi de Grau estudiem la connexió de Gauss-Manin per Interseccions Completes amb Singularitats Aïllades (ICIS), així com la seva relació amb certs polinomis de Bernstein-Sato. Pel cas d'hipersuperfícies amb singularitats aïllades, aquesta relació s'estableix en un resultat de Malgrange. Per estudiar la possible generalització d'aquest resultat al cas d'ICIS, generalitzem un algorisme de Schulze per calcular la connexió de Gauss-Manin d'una hipersuperfície amb singularitats aïllades al cas d'ICIS. Seguidament, fem ús de la nostra implementació en Magma d'aquest algorisme per calcular alguns exemples. Això ens permet concloure que un candidat per la generalització del resultat de Malgrange és el polinomi de Bernstein-Sato associat al mòdul de cohomologia local d'una ICIS.En este Trabajo Final de Grado estudiamos la conexión de Gauss-Manin para Intersecciones Completas con Singularidades Aisladas (ICIS) y su relación con ciertos polinomios de Bernstein-Sato.

For isolated hypersurface singularities, this relation follows from a theorem by Malgrange. To study the possible generalization of this result to ICIS, we generalize an algorithm by Schulze for the computation of the Gauss-Manin connection of isolated hypersurface singularities to the case of ICIS. We then use our Magma implementation of this algorithm to compute some examples, concluding that a candidate for a generalization of Malgrange's result is the Bernstein-Sato polynomial associated to the local cohomology module of an ICIS.Outgoin
