How personal experience modulates the neural circuitry of memories of September 11
No full textBrown and Kulik [Brown R, Kulik J (1977) Cognition 5:73–99] introduced the term “flashbulb memory” to describe the recall of shocking, consequential events such as hearing news of a presidential assassination. They proposed that the vivid detail of such memories results from the action of a unique neural mechanism. In the present study of personal recollections of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 (9/11) in New York City, we combine behavioral and brain imaging techniques, with two goals: (i) to explore the neural basis of such memories and (ii) to clarify the characteristics of the emotional events that may give rise to them. Three years after the terrorist attacks, participants were asked to retrieve memories of 9/11, as well as memories of personally selected control events from 2001. At the time of the attacks, some participants were in Downtown Manhattan, close to the World Trade Center; others were in Midtown, a few miles away. The Downtown participants exhibited selective activation of the amygdala as they recalled events from 9/11, but not while they recalled control events. This was not the case for the Midtown participants. Moreover, only the Downtown participants reported emotionally enhanced recollective experiences while recalling events from 9/11, as compared with control events. These results suggest that close personal experience may be critical in engaging the neural mechanisms that underlie the emotional modulation of memory and thus in producing the vivid recollections to which the term flashbulb memory is often applied.This is an electronic version of the article published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 104(1):389-394, 2007.

Reconstructing Beethoven: Mauricio Kagel’s Ludwig van
No full textThe subject of this dissertation is Ludwig van, Mauricio Kagel’s tribute to Beethoven on the occasion of the 200th anniversary of the latter’s birth, which consists of three separate, but closely related, versions: a film, a musical score and a recording. The main aim of this project is to analyse the performance problems that musicians have to face when realising the score Ludwig van, which is an entirely indeterminate collage of Beethoven’s music, and to suggest ways of tackling them. For this purpose, all three versions of the work are studied in this thesis. The film is examined in terms of the issues it raises concerning Beethoven’s reception and of the function of its music, which consists of unusual performances of Beethoven’s works. The score is analysed from the perspective of postmodern theory and 20th-century art movements, while the roles of the composer and the performer are discussed and redefined. The recording is studied as a sample of how Kagel himself chose to realise his own score. Finally, the difficulties I encountered in my own attempts to realise Ludwig van are discussed, and the ways in which I dealt with them are presented. The conclusion at which this dissertation arrives is that, in works of such indeterminacy as Ludwig van, the performers are required to step outside their conventional role and act partly as composers. Compared to works that are considered challenging to the performer in the conventional sense, of requiring technical virtuosity, this work presents a more fundamental challenge, which has to do with overcoming personal boundaries: it asks the performer not to execute a pre-composed work, but to create their own version of Ludwig van. Since very little has been written about Ludwig van by performers with an academic background, this thesis can offer valuable assistance to prospective performers of the work in their attempt to balance between the highly charged conceptual aspect of the composition and the practical need to achieve its successful performance
The social ties that bind: how Filipino-American communities leverage social capital for democratic purpose
No full textThe dissertation study, The Social Ties that Bind: How Filipino-American Communities Leverage Social Capital for Democratic Purpose draws upon literature in the field of social capital to explore how Filipino communities build social, economic, and political gains for their communities. Communities that possess a high level of social capital not only enable their members “to act collectively for achieving diverse common goals” (Krishna, 2002, p. 9) but it also leads to stronger bonds of trust that further democratization and counteracts notions that would support a nondemocratic establishment (Paxton, 2002). The following research questions frame the dissertation: (1) What unique characteristics are evident in social capital development?; (2) How does social capital transition from mere interactions between members to actions that will benefit the community as a whole?; and (3) Which factors of social capital development might be useful in conducting similar studies in other immigrant or ethnic communities as well as in other aspects of American society? For this study, social capital is defined as “resources embedded in a social structure that are accessed and/or mobilized in purposive actions” (Lin, 2001a, p. 12; Lin, 2001b, p. 29; Lin, Fu, and Hsung, 2001, p. 58). By studying the Filipino-American communities in Tallahassee, FL, Jacksonville, FL, and Orlando, FL, a mixed methodology that included case study research, survey research, and in-depth, openended interviews was employed. Then the frequency distribution of the survey data, the correlations from the Mokken Scaling Procedure, the results of the OLS regression and the outcomes of the case study and interviews were analyzed. Through a mixture of social ties, norms, and trust, it was found that Filipino- Americans use a combination of expressive and instrumental actions to access and mobilize social capital resources for democratic purpose. But the degrees of expressive and instrumental actions utilized to achieve democratic goals result from the levels of social capital present in each community. The aim of this research is to help public administrators understand the needs of citizens, how citizens take part in developing an environment conducive to democratic participation, and how to improve democratic processes to further civic engagement.Ph.

Portée herméneutique de la notion d'«intentio» chez Thomas d'Aquin
No full textThe author sets out with a hermeneutical purpose to analyse the precise meaning of the notion of «the author's intention» in Thomas Aquinas. He shows that from the semantic point of view the intentio auctoris pertains to the intentio voluntatis. Furthermore, the A. observes, on the one hand, that the intentio auctoris is a dynamic notion, as it intrinsically refers to a finality; and, on the other hand, that it has an analogical value, as it arises from the subjects of which Thomas predicates the intention. The article concludes with a hermeneutical placing in perspective of the question of the relationship between the intention of an author and the texts. Although considerably nuanced, the optimism of Thomas Aquinas concerning the understanding of an author's intention remains definitively valid due to the intention of seeking the truth common to the author and the reader. (Transl. by J. Dudley).L'auteur se propose d'analyser, dans une optique herméneutique, le sens précis de la notion d' «intention de l'auteur» chez Thomas d'Aquin. Il montre qu'au point de vue sémantique, Vintentio auctoris relève de Yintentio voluntatis. En outre, l'A. observe d'une part que Yintentio auctoris est une notion dynamique puisqu'elle se rapporte intrinsèquement à une finalité; et d'autre part qu'elle possède une valeur analogique, comme il ressort des sujets desquels Thomas prédique l'intention. L'article se termine par une mise en perspective herméneutique de la question du rapport entre l'intention d'un auteur et les textes. Bien que considérablement nuancé, l'optimisme de Thomas d'Aquin concernant la compréhension de l'intention d'un auteur reste en définitive valable par l'intention de recherche de la vérité commune à l'auteur et au lecteur.Narváez Mauricio.

La argentinidad en la obra de Roberto J. Payró
No full textOne of the constant leitmotivs of Argentinean literature is considered to be searching for its national identity. Roberto J.Payró (1867-1928), Argentinean novelist and dramatist, tries to recognize allegiance to Argentinean customs and aspirations in his characters. He is the first author whose main hero, gaucho-picaro, experiences his stories in a city, sometimes even close to the political scene. Gaucho himself seems to be a contentious character of modern La Plata´s literature of 20th century. Payró´s heroes represent different types, they wear their “masks” and in Anderson Imbert´s opinion they belong to “the dregs of society”. They are the epitome of many ominous phenomena typical for the end of 19th century Argentina. As for evolutionary character, the line in Payro´s heroes of novels begins with the outcast of society (Chamijo), continues in an unscrupulous good-for-nothing (Laucha) and tends towards a successful politiciancareerist (Mauricio Gómez Herrera).la búsqueda de la identidad nacional es uno de los motivos recurrentes de la literatura argentina. El novelista y dramaturgo argentino Roberto J. Payró (1867-19289) identifica el carácter argentino de sus personajes. Es el primer autor que coloca a su héroe principal, el gaucho pícaro, en el medio urbano y en ocasiones en medio de los acontecimientos políticos. Se trata de un personaje problemático de la literatura moderna de La Plata del siglo XX. Los héroes de Payró representan tipos diferentes, utilizan una “máscara” y según Anderson Imbert, pertenecen a “los bajos fondos de la sociedad argentina”. Son portadores de un número de fenómenos negativos que se manifiestan en Argentina hacia finales del siglo XIX. La línea evolutiva de los personajes de Payró comienza con el paria de la sociedad (Chamijo), continúa con un inescrupuloso bueno-para-nada (Lacha) y termina con un exitoso arrivista político (Mauricio Gómez Herrera).La recherche de l´identité nationale est un des motifs recurrents de la littérature argentine.
