Audiomobiles, Sculptures and Conundrums
No full textRoberto Gerhard was a pioneer of electronic music in England creating a number of substantial concert, theatre and radio works from as early as 1954. Gerhard’s electronic music is one of the richest repositories for understanding the development of the composer’s late compositional technique. Apart from the Symphony no.3, ‘Collages’, none of Gerhard’s electronic music is published. This paper will discuss aspects of Gerhard’s electronic music, focusing on Audiomobiles (1958-59) and Sculptures (1963)
Roberto Gerhard’s Sound Compositions: A Historical-Philological Perspective. Archive, Process, Intent and reenactment
No full textThis research advances the current state of knowledge in the field of early tape music both empirically and methodologically. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact that the electronic medium exerted in the musical thinking of Roberto Gerhard, one of the most outspoken, prolific and influential composers in the Spanish diaspora whose musical legacy, for the most part unknown, is a major landmark in the early history of electroacoustic music. Gerhard’s personal tape collection, one of the largest historical archives of its kind reported in the literature, is exceptional for both its antiquity (50+-year-old tapes) and its abundance of production materials. Through the digitisation and analysis of the composer’s tape collection this research argues that the empirical study of audio documents sets out a basis for a broader understanding of textual processes. More specifically, the research demonstrates that the reconstruction of works based on magnetic tape sketches is a powerful method to advance the understanding of early tape music. This research also examines Gerhard’s sound compositions in relation to the post-war context in which they were composed. Finally, this research presents performance documentation that proposes an approach to the electroacoustic music repertoire in which creativity is not at odds with rigor and critical discernment demonstrating that archival study can be closely aligned to the concept of re-enactment

Roberto Bolaño, la memoria antiheroica del exilio chileno
No full textThis article discusses the personality and the work of the Chilean writer Roberto Bolaño in an attempt to expand on the relationship between the author and his homeland Chile. Even though Bolaño left Chile at an early age and lived in many countries throughout his life, he tried to regain his roots as reflected in the novels about the Chilean dictatorship, Estrella distante and Nocturno de Chile. The author also attempts to vindicate his own origin in his literary alterego Arturo Belano. Thus, this article will highlight and analyse the relation between Roberto Bolaño and Chile through the antiheroic vision given not only to the characters but also to the settings of the narratives.Este artículo se centra en la personalidad del escritor chileno Roberto Bolaño y su obra para profundizar en la relación existente entre el autor y Chile, su país de origen. Pese a haber abandonado el país siendo muy joven y a haber residido en otros países a lo largo de su vida, Bolaño nunca perdió el interés por recuperar sus raíces chilenas tanto como lo reflejan las novelas que dedica a la dictadura chilena, Estrella distante y Nocturno de Chile sobre todo, así como por reivindicar su propio origen a través de su álter ego literario Arturo Belano. En este artículo se señalarán y analizarán estas relaciones entre Roberto Bolaño y Chile a través de la visión antiheroica que el autor confiere tanto a los ambientes como a los personajes que articulan su narrativa
From Metaphors to Mechanisms: Gender Sorting In(to) an Organizational Hierarchy
No full textNumerous studies have examined patterns of gender inequality in organizational advancement, with some
showing results indicative of “glass ceilings,” where gender disparities are strong at the upper reaches of the
organization, while others suggest “sticky floors,” where the gender differences in advancement occur at the lower
levels of the organization. These studies, however, have been less clear on the mechanisms that produce these
descriptive patterns. With few exceptions, extant studies have focused on internal promotion practices and have not
addressed the extent to which these patterns might reflect gender differences in external recruitment and hiring into
the organization. We construct queues consisting of both external and internal candidates—the set of candidates
under consideration—for over 2,200 job openings during a 27-month period for a large retail bank. We find that
women are more likely than men to be hired, and that this pattern holds for jobs up and down the organizational
hierarchy. The applicant pools are themselves gendered, however, with women comprising a lower percentage of the
applicant pools for high-level jobs, but a greater proportion of the pools for lower-level jobs. Since women are more
likely than men to advance from each applicant pool to hire at all levels of the hierarchy, the apparent “glass ceiling”
observed among job incumbents is not due to gendered screening practices. Instead, the roots of gender inequality in
this firm lie in the initial sorting of applicants into queues

PROPOSIÇÕES PARA A CONSTRUÇÃO DE UM RACIOCÍNIO GEOGRÁFICO: UMA BUSCA DA GEOGRAFIA ESCOLAR, NO BRASIL
No full textO termo “raciocínio geográfico”, no Brasil, ganhou amplitude e centralidade no debate do ensino de Geografia após a homologação da Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC), em 2017. Este termo, desde então, tem sido utilizado frequentemente na proposição de currículos escolares em atendimento a essas novas diretrizes do currículo nacional brasileiro. Não obstante, a busca pelo encaminhamento por meio do qual se processa o raciocínio geográfico é anterior à BNCC, sendo pauta de discussões de pesquisadores brasileiros da educação há, pelo menos, duas décadas. Diante da relevância que o termo vem ganhando no ensino no Brasil, este artigo está pautado nas seguintes questões: Há, no campo da didática da Geografia, propostas epistemicamente robustas que indicam como desenvolver o raciocínio geográfico em sala de aula? E, no caso da sua existência, em quais dimensões estas propostas contribuiriam para o desenvolvimento da Geografia Escolar, sobretudo em atendimento às mudanças curriculares em curso no Brasil? Na busca por responder a estes questionamentos foi efetivado levantamento bibliográfico que identificou três propostas de raciocínio geográfico construídas a partir de pesquisas sistemáticas conduzidas pelos seus autores: uma proposta belga e duas brasileiras. A análise destas propostas é apresentada e problematizada neste artigo, de modo a favorecer a compreensão cognitiva inerente à ação de raciocinar geograficamente. Esta ação revela-se uma estratégia didática pautada num ensino de Geografia comprometido com a cientificidade, notadamente ao se fundamentar no emprego de uma rede conceitual epistemicamente chancelada pela ciência geográfica, na busca por responder a uma pergunta geográfica inerente a uma dada situação, também, geográfica
The linchpins of geographic reasoning for a successful teaching/learning: Comparison between school curricula in Italy and Brazil
No full textA considerable portion of the most recent researcher in the field of geography learning has been dedicated to the investigation of the modus operandi employed in the interpretation of the spatiality of facts and phenomena. Therefore, mental operations essential to the exercise of an effective geographic reasoning are, nowadays, the object of systematic investigations. It is in response to this contemporary reality that it is registered in several countries that initiatives aimed to the recent reformulation of their curricular norms guiding the teaching of geography and, consequently, their educational systems. With the purpose of identify and understand the geography prescribed in the official documents that rule the education in Brazil and in Italy, this study shows the results of a comparative reading among these national documents. In our comparative analysis, to which we associated to the Grounded Theory, we took as reference and foundation the substantive concepts that we consider..
