Carl Nielsen and the Danish Tradition of Story-Telling
No full textThe author explains Carl Nielsen’s sixth symphony, ‘ semplice ’, as ‘eventyr’, ‘fantasy-adventure’, setting it in the context of works by Golden Age authors like Adam Oehlenschlager, Hans Christian Andersen, August Bournonville and Soren Kierkegaard, and Nielsen’s own friend, the painter Vilhelm Hammershoi. Colin Roth reads Sinfonia semplice as a direct address to Nielsen’s own audience, its ironised, disruptive selfconsciousness blending autobiographical elements with musical ones in order to heighten the symphony’s narrative and expressive power.</jats:p

To be or not to be Sade: Philip Roth, "Sabbath's Theater" and Libertine Thought
No full textreservedIl presente elaborato si propone di indagare, all'interno dell'opera di Philip Roth, le forme e le ricorrenze tematiche legate al pensiero libertino. Sebbene si consideri anche la poetica dell’autore in generale, il focus viene posto sulle opere giudicate più rappresentative, in cui "l'argomento" libertinismo risulta essere più pregnante; un ruolo di primaria importanza in questo senso lo ricopre l'opera "Sabbath's Theatre" ("Il teatro di Sabbath"). Nonostante l'indagine sia di tipo tematico-comparatistico non si rifiuta una rigorosa ricostruzione storica della figura del libertino, soprattutto per meglio definirne il profilo e le caratteristiche; inoltre, la fondazione di un canone di autori "libertini" risulta fondamentale per far emergere ricorrenze tematico-stilistiche utili per meglio approcciare l'opera di Roth.This paper aims to investigate, within the great work of Philip Roth, the forms and thematic recurrences related to Libertine Thought. Although it also consider the poetics of the author in its wholeness, the focus is placed on the most representative works, in which "the subject" libertinism is more meaningful; a role of primary importance in this perspective is the novel "Sabbath’s Theatre". Despite the fact that the investigation is of a thematic-comparative nature, it does not elude a rigorous historical reconstruction of the figure of the libertine, especially to better define his profile and characteristics; moreover, the foundation of a canon of "libertine" authors is fundamental to bring out significative thematic-stylistic recurrences to better approach Roth’s work

The Handbook of Experimental Economics/ Alvin E. Roth, John H. Kagel.
No full textIn English.This book, which comprises eight chapters, presents a comprehensive critical survey of the results and methods of laboratory experiments in economics. The first chapter provides an introduction to experimental economics as a whole, with the remaining chapters providing surveys by leading practitioners in areas of economics that have seen a concentration of experiments: public goods, coordination problems, bargaining, industrial organization, asset markets, auctions, and individual decision making. The work aims both to help specialists set an agenda for future research and to provide nonspecialists with a critical review of work completed to date. Its focus is on elucidating the role of experimental studies as a progressive research tool so that wherever possible, emphasis is on series of experiments that build on one another. The contributors to the volume--Colin Camerer, Charles A. Holt, John H. Kagel, John O. Ledyard, Jack Ochs, Alvin E. Roth, and Shyam Sunder--adopt a particular methodological point of view: the way to learn how to design and conduct experiments is to consider how good experiments grow organically out of the issues and hypotheses they are designed to investigate.Frontmatter -- Contents -- Preface -- List of Contributors -- 1.

Carl Nielsen's Cultural Self-Education. His Early Engagement with Fine Art and Ideas and the Path towards 'Hymnis Amoris'
No full textIn this paper Colin Roth examines the documentary record for insights into the composer’s developing enthusiasm for fine art in his early years, and considers their implications for our understanding of his music-compositional process and creative path. He looks back to the emergence of a strong and persistent interaction with French cultural values and aesthetics in ‘the Golden Age’ and traces the path of its Platonic neo-classicism as a distinctively Danish contribution to ‘romanticism’s double helix’, from Eckersberg and Thorvaldsen through Kierkegaard and then to Georg Brandes and Carl Nielsen, revealing a source in Kierkegaard’s Either/Or of Nielsen’s best known remarks about his own music. It is Nielsen’s perception that ‘all art is in its essence the opposite of sensuality and as soon as this [sensuality] comes in, is it no longer high and clean art’, written about Rubens in 1894, which helps to illuminate the choice of a Latin text in Hymnus Amoris . In asking what we can we learn about Nielsen’s way of learning from studying his self-education in art, and about what he learned as a young man and from whom, our knowledge of the development of Nielsen’s musical aesthetics and outlook is enriched.</jats:p
Joseph Roth and Slovenes
No full textŠtudija, napisana na podlagi primarnih in sekundarnih virov ter spominov, obravnava tista dela avstrijskega pisatelja Josepha Rotha, ki tematizirajo Slovence. V prvi vrsti gre za romana Radetzkyjeva koračnica (1932) in Kapucinska grobnica (1938), kjer so Slovenci kot osrednji literarni liki prvič vstopili v neslovensko svetovno književnost in to skozi velika vrata. V podporo adekvatnejši analizi literarnih likov upošteva tudi Rothove feljtone, objavljene v nemškem dnevniku Frankfurter Zeitung, kjer Roth poroča o južnih Slovanih, njihovi politiki in državi, ki jo označi za eno naslednic propadle Avstro-Ogrske na Balkanu. Avtorica se osredinja na Rothove slovenske like in njihov sprejem pri naših bralcih, pri čemer s primeri iz Rothovih feljtonov in siceršnjih avtorjevih zapisanih izjav dokazuje, da je Roth dobro poznal tako zgodovino kakor tudi zakonitosti literarnega ustvarjanja. Fikcija do neke mere temelji na resničnosti, vendar deluje po estetskih učinkih, ki z le-to niso vedno kompatibilni.The present study is based on primary and secondary literature as well as memoirs. It deals with those works by Austrian writer Joseph Roth that thematize Slovenians. First and foremost, these are the novels Radetzky March (1932) and The Emperor\u27s Tomb (1938). Slovenians are here central fictional characters, entered the non-Slovenian world literature of class for the first time, through the Great Gate. In support of the more adequate analysis of fictional characters of Slovenians, author also takes into account Roth\u27s feuilletons, published in the German daily Frankfurter Zeitung. Here he reports on South Slavs, their politics and the state, which he calls one of successor states in the Balkans of the decayed Habsburg Empire. The author focuses on Roth\u27s Slovenian fictional characters and their reception by Slovenian readers. By quoting his articles and few other statements on Slovenians she is about to prove that Roth knew very well both, the political history and the requests of creation of a work of fiction. Fiction is to some extent based on reality, though it works according to aesthetic effects that are not always compatible with it
